African Flavor Hits Brooklyn Fashion Weekend!

People say that fashion is dead.  I wonder who told that lie.  Last night I was invited by Christian Ruart to a private fashion presentation.  These are my absolute favorite pieces from the one and only Lea Mono Haute Couture fashion house. Albertine Odimba Bongo is the daughter of Dabani Odimba Bongo, the first lady of Gabon.  She is specialized in fashion design internationally with a remarkable resume of gown design for Queens and Princesses in Africa and Arabic Countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Senegal, Ivory Coast, New York, Italy, Asia, Qatar, Jordan, Lebanon, and of course Gabon.

Cognac Handbags: Why You Should Own One

People often say that black goes with everything.  You may be surprised to find out that cognac is just as versatile as black.  Some folks (such as myself) say that it's better.
