How to Dress Up an Ankara Skater Dress

Spring sprung in case you've just crawled out of hibernation, Ha! The Bay Area weather has 'not so shockingly' been a roller coaster, 70s one day and dipping to 50s the very next even with bright sunny skies. Deception at it's best! With lots of rain too and gosh how I relish every drop that lands noisily atop the awning right outside my bedroom window. Music to my ears. Sheer delight. My bed beckons. Zzzz.... until the 5am alarm rudely interrupts the bliss. Then it's work, home and the cycle repeats. 

It's my favorite time of year!
 It's also that time of year when the 'do I wear a jacket today or not' dilemma peaks. It's also the time of year marked by cherry blossoms appearing are all over, everything you can think of blooming, birds chirping, layers gradually being peeled off. And 'skin' is in once again meaning the legs must be shaved, annoying allergy symptoms are here and so is Easter. 

I'm not sure how the date is decided but Easter's late this year to every teacher's and students of course (PUSD) chagrin having to work a long stretch through March and well into April before Spring Break. It's finally here and I plan on enjoying my well deserved time off albeit being very short.

Enough of the gushing about me, what have you been up to? And what are you doing on Easter Sunday?

"If I had my way, I'd wear a dress like this on a daily basis. Complete with a fancy fascinator of course".
It's safe to say that skater dresses have become a fashion staple. They are versatile enough to be dressed up as shown in these pictures, or dressed down for Summer with gladiators, a sun hat and killer sunnies for instance. An addition of tights and thigh high boots finished with a chic jacket will make you Winter ready. 

Regardless of your body type, you'd find that skater dresses are very flattering and quite easy to pull off. They create the legs for days effect because of their mini length and capture the image of multifaceted femininity, playfulness and innocence.
I am a fan! You?

Whatever your plans are for Easter, be it going to service, brunch with family or 'linner' over at a friend's, staying stylish is a no brainer and what better than a comfortable Ankara skater dress to keep you looking impeccable. It's a perfect piece for parties and even a date night. I accessorized my look with a fascinator hat, a pair of lace black ankle boots and a black clutch.

If this flirty lil dress speaks to you, hit the folks at Ife Amitie. All you need to pull it off is a hint of a rebellious attitude, :). Thank me later.

Have a fantastic Easter!!!!

How to Dress Up an Ankara Skater Dress

Wednesday, January 18, 2017



What a gorgeous mix of colors in this ruffle and flare Ankara dress, styled on a gloomy Winter day, and paired with an orange Louis Vuitton bag,  Miumiu denim ankle wrap heels, and a colorful statement necklace. Thank goodness my jacket of choice was a simple denim one, albeit being distressed. This look is full of life and energy and totally cheered me up, no pun intended. 

  Meet Idu, the latest Ankara enthusiast. 
You guessed it. I’ve been bit by the Ankara bug. To my friends that encouraged me to give it a shot, I say 'look what you’ve done'! You created a monster! 

The Ankara trend is in a league of it's own and is growing like wildfire. I dipped my toe in the trend here with a top. This time around I bit a little more and went for a dress. What’d be next, a trench coat? Ha! 

This fun and flirty dress checks every box for me. I couldn’t stop admiring <<drum roll>> ME! Cat walking, twisting and twirling in front of the mirror for hours minutes on end shame on me but that’s how much I loved it. Has that ever happened to you? Loved someone something so much you just couldn’t help yourself?

This look wasn't planned and honestly I’d have never thought to pair all these pieces together. But then Africans dress very richly and colorfully. So to pull off an African print look, best be prepared to embrace colors. Less More is more. And my love for colors doesn’t usually go unnoticed especially when there’s my favorite color purple in the mix. 
Ohh yeah, happy gal!

Happy Hump day loves! 
We're excited to be back on Wednesdays, yay! The chill is still here accompanied by a steady diet of all things carbs that I shouldn’t be looking at let alone touching. The closest I’ve come to eating veggies lately was a nacho cheese taco from Taco Bell. SMDH. Turning that around right away and I mean it. 
Enjoy the rest of your week.
