Favorite Thing of the Day: Lee Dress by naKiMuli

Ebony Lee — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 16:22:30 +0000

All I can say about this dress is fierce!!! Like the description says “Get out the Spanx”, and that is the truth if you’re going to wear this form fitting number. Body conscious + bold shoulders = a hot outfit for a night out. naKiMuli has created a great collection of unique clothing featuring ethnic, bright prints with some bold afrocentric flair mixed in. I hope you fall in love with this African American designer out of Brooklyn!

Here’s one more. Fierce fashion, darling!!

Making Tribal Dots and Dainty Flower Cabochon Earrings

Ebony Lee — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 00:29:15 +0000

Here are some photos of last night’s work.

All of these earrings have surgical steel posts. I really love how light and fun they are. Especially the tiny roses and mums. These stud earrings can lend a bit a whimsy to your office attire or just jeans and a classic white tee. Just the right pop of color! I can wait to make more of the ones in the last photo. Nothing like a great African wax print or tribal pattern.
