le petit marche
Tuesday, 9 June 2009
Hello! dear fab. readers; sorry I've been away for SO long.For a girl who considers her life kinda boring, the past few weeks have been rather interesting.There's constantly been one event after the other, I've had lots of dress orders to deal with, my final year project and just a bunch of other stuff; however I'm back to blogs ville.
My label AKPOS OKUDU,got featured on a couple of blogs that you really need to check out
-www.blog.sylandroc.com
-www.africanainatlanta.blogspot.com
Also, i was at le petite marche( a monthly flee market, which creates an avenue for new and established independent designers and entrepreneurs to network and get recognised) It was quite nice, to be able to sell so many dresses in like 6hours, and off course shop. You can read more about le petite marche on the face book group.
HEAD TO TOE PERFECT.
Nigerian women are super fabulous; i know, i know.i could say that a million times. Your probably sick of hearing it; but come on this is a blog that generally celebrates fabulous Nigerian fashion and pretty much anything fashion related.
As amazing as i consider Nigerian women stylewise, there are lots who generally go over the top with their outfits;so when i find pictures of Nigerian women that look on point you know I'm drawn to them like a complete magpie and i get super excited.The ladies below all look head to toe perfect, without going overboard. thots?

Dear readers,this past week has been very exciting for me;as my label AKPOS OKUDU was featured on my favourite Nigerian site www.bellanaija.com you have to check this out. So I've pretty much been walking on air all week.Also I've had lots of tests to prepare for so i haven't been able to post as much as i would want to.However I'm back.
LABEL LOVE: SIKA DESIGNS.
When i think about 'Africa meets the west' Sika definitely comes to mind.Inspired by the rich and diverse culture of Ghana West Africa.Sika dresses come in tie dye,batik and wax prints.
All garments are produced in Ghana by highly skilled tailors and Seamstresses,with the trend and styles of London's urban chic.
This is one label i heart.Below are some of my favourites.
