Lookpost : Holla Summer

Hello,
It has been a while right? I apologize for my silence but I have been wrapping things up with school and trying to get internships/jobs whilst I plan my new exciting adventure in Cape Town. I have been doing a little bit of shopping and hope to show you some of my finds. Of course with me, comfort is always key and I like to keep it simple but edgy. I also love prints and I'm a big fan of the Mr. Price range created by local designer Anisa Mpungwe. I hope you enjoy the look, I am also embracing my natural hair a lot more now, giving the braids a break.

Art x Hair

Check out this brilliant braid & Hair painting by Soo Yoon Lym. The Korean born artist lived in Uganda for seven years and when she was 15 she made a life changing decision by studying with Korean exiled painter, Ung No Lee in Normandy, France. She says it was then that she discovered that summer how "art was inextricably tied to nature and my life."
I love how lifelike her paintings are and how they take something that for black woman is simple and mundane and makes it look so artistic. It's a really special exhibition and it really urged me to take pride in my African locs.
