Last weekend I attended Bantu Entertainment's annual summertime Bantu Fest. First off, the turn out was amazing and I had the most scrumptious vegan pulled pork from a food station called Turtle Island. So damn good, I'm still thinking about it. I even got a chance to do some photography and shot some photos of the gorgeous singer Amara La Negra.
I was actually inspired by Lauryn Hill's African printed dress during her May 2018 Brooklyn performance remixing Drake's "Nice For What", sampled by her 1999 hit song "Ex-Factor". If I had a matching headwrap, I woulda been drippin' too much sauce!
On a recent vintage shopping adventure, I spotted this beautiful African inspired dress from outside the store in the window. As soon as I stepped in, I grabbed her before someone else did! Not sure which African ethnic group the print is based from though. What I loved best about this dress other than the intricate design of warrior figures with spears and shields is how breezy it is. It's perfect for a hot summer day because of the thin fabric but can also be worn in multiple seasons and styled in different ways.
