Summer is just around the corner and lately i have been a little obsessed with finding the perfect accessories. This summer i am very much attracted to african inspired designs. I like, love african inspired fashion and accessories....they are bold, loud and vibrant and they are a true representation of "who i am" and "where i come from" and if i could i would wear them all year round :-))
Unfortunately, most of my african  outfits can be worn only on special occasions. African fashion is generally very bold, vibrant and very colourful. This might not always be suitable for daily wear.  For me, the key to wearing african fashion and incorporating this in our daily lives(especially for those living abroad) is finding a perfect blend between the African and Western style....what i like to call the "Afro meets Euro" style :-)) 
This summer i plan on re-stocking my wardrobe with african accesories and outfits more suitable for daily wear :-))
Recently on this topic, Lucy and i have also been chit chatting with our ladies in the "Meet & Chat Corner" and some of them do have lovely collections of afro accessories and would also love to incorporate more african inspired outfits into their summer collection(more about our ladies afro collection in another post).
So today, i would love to share with you one of my inspiration source this summer  for african inspired accessories.  So all you accessories junkies get ready for your fix :-))  This fashion house goes by the name Bangili Jangili ...(Accessories Junkie)



BJ's key pieces include bags, belts and clothing items. Majority of these are artistically designed and handcrafted in Australia using traditional African fabrics fused with and other exciting materials such as quality genuine leather and canvas to create a contemporary look but still preserve a piece of African textile history.

So if you are looking into introducing accessories into your looks, and you love it vibrant, colourful and afro-euro like myself, then start with these amazing pieces.... let the summer begin!!!!  Be inspired. Enjoy and stay cool until we meet again…xx
