A dreamy cluster of cowrie shells and wooden beads come together for the perfect chic look.
Cowrie shells have been held precious by many cultures since prehistory. In Africa they were used for divination, spiritual practice and as currency. According to African legend if you are attracted to cowrie shells you could be family to an ocean spirit of wealth and earth.
Feel like a goddess in this stunning leaf collar necklace. Antique gold leaf pendant is joined with wood beads to drape across your collarbones. Perfect statement necklace to offset a simple dress.
Zulu knots are widely considered to be among the more ethnic hairstyles for African Americans. As the name implies, the style originated in the Zulu tribes of southern Africa. The style is simple, yet dramatic and one of my personal favorites.
This cotton canvas tote measures 18" x 14" x 6" with 28" handles. Best of all, this bag is reusable, washable and environmentally friendly.
A hand painted silhouette stands out in the center. Her Zulu Bantu knots hand sewn from various pieces of African print fabric
Have a looksee at my latest creation, Women of Africa Tote bag. I made this bag over the weekend and I had so much fun painting and sewing away.
This tote bag reminds me of the funtimes I had growing up in Ghana, West Africa. Playing soccer with the boys, pounding fufu for dinner, climbing the mango and orange trees for sweet healthy treats...ahhh those were the days! The memories of my late grandmother, Nana Serwaa Bonsu, and all the children in the village she cared for. Even when they had so little, they had so much more - Life, Love, Happiness.
To celebrate the 2nd year anniversary of GhanaCelebrities, I am giving away one of my Shape of Africa tote bags to one lucky reader. This bag was made specially to help to commemorate 2years of Excellence in Ghanaian Celebrity News.

So last Wednesday I attended Shecky’s Girls Night Out with my girlfriends, and we had a fabulous time! If you don’t know what Shecky’s is, you are MISSING OUT. It’s a fun biannual shopping event that occurs in many cities across the US and offers clothing, jewelry, accessories, and services from hundreds of vendors — plus free cocktails and amazing treat-filled goodie bags too. The best part is that this year, admission + a goodie bag was $15 advance!
We wandered around for a bit, checking out the different vendors. There were definitely lots of cute options in many different price points and everything with a special Shecky's discount! The selection of clothing was nice, but most of it felt like something you could pick up at your local H&M, Forver21, etc. The perfect nightcap to the evening was getting the famous Shecky’s goodie bag!
Yes, all this for $15!!!
Overall, Shecky's continues to be a super fun night out, a perfect way to indulge a few hours, and amazing vendors. I definitely recommend checking out the next one in your area!
