A Taste of Africa: Marazetti Clothing and Footwear

Marazetti is a line of dresses, shoes and accessories with a twist. Its founder Fanta Kamara started the company with the aim of developing women and young girls in Liberia that were affected by the 14 year civil war, and providing them with technical skills such as tailoring, stitching and embroidery. 

Fanta says "My ultimate goal in life is to inspire as many young girls, to develop a passion for something, to promote, motivate, enhance their talents to the fullest and sustain a high level of confidence. I also want to promote developmental change while helping as many people as I can to a better future through passion and fashion" 

As a result, the company has developed a beautiful collection of fashion pieces out of Ankara and Kente material.

My Shoe Collection 2011...

Happy new year! I know its a bit late but since we're still in January I think I can get away with it lol. This is my first blog post since last year so I thought I would share some of the shoes that I've collected during 2011. 

Most of them are from Topshop or River Island and as you can see I have a special place in my heart for shoes with a platform. This year I'm hoping to introduce more colour into my collection and also get a pair or two that are completely off the radar.. like way outside the box, I'll be sure to show you guys once I find them.
