59 DAYS OF GHANAIAN FASHION: THE UNVEIL

Hello Fab Beauties,

In the months of January and February 2017, my blog will run a special campaign to highlight the works of 59 Ghanaian Fashion Designers (both clothing and accessories), dubbed “59 Days of Ghanaian Fashion”.

This campaign seeks to bring to the limelight, talented emerging and established designers who are contributing to Ghana’s budding fashion industry, help boost their online presence and also create an exciting buzz about Ghanaian fashion.

In the lead up to Ghana's historic 60th anniversary, I will shoot one signature piece per designer, after which a blog post with all the details about the brand/designer will be put up.

There will be 59 posts in all. “59” symbolizes Ghana’s 59 years of independence.

Locations were chosen because they are picturesque and have some significance to Ghana’s rich history.

I am so thankful to the designers, photographers, makeup artists and stylists I am working with on this project.

And to you my most amazing readers, thank you for your constant support and love. I appreciate it.

I wish you all a fantastic new year and i hope you enjoy this campaign.

Love, Laurie. 

THIS CHRISTMAS WITH CINDY RICE

Hey guys , it's been a minute!

I have been running around trying to get set for #59DaysOfGhanaianFashion, and let's just say we are almost set to roll.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas filled with lots of love and laughter.

I spent Christmas this year at my girl Gifty's house.

Her family hosts a party every Christmas and yes i was there.

As an upcoming foodie i just had to be where there was going to be lots of food.

I got there early to help them prepare the food and set up before guests arrived.

On the menu was Beef Jollof rice(Ghana Jollof) , Rice Arome with Chicken sauce and many local dishes you can think of.

I just want to let you in on a little secret i learnt, we used Cindy Rice for all the rice dishes, and guests in a typical Ghanaian fashion took some of the rice home. It was their family secret, well not anymore :-) .

Apparently they have been using it for sometime now.

 The rice tasted so good and cooked perfectly, If it is a rice meal, then it has to be Cindy Rice, they won me over .

Send some Rice recipes my way as i am all excited about cooking with Cindy Rice.

What have you been up to this Christmas?

Let me know.
