The Legend: Oliver Mutukudzi

So its been a while since i have bloggged. I really did miss blogging but life got in the way. Its been just so hectic that i found it hard to get time to write about all the exciting and not so exciting things that have been happening.
So back to the post ,this past weeekend  i had a great opportunity to attend Oliver Mutukudzi's concert. This man is a legend, he is zimbabwean and a well known singer in Africa. He is talented and he is loved. This weekend i had a rare opportunity to see him live at West End cultural Centre right here  in Winnipeg and i tell you the night was magical and the energy from the crowd to the stage was unbelievable. My favourite moment was when Tuku sang Hosssa and where we come from. The crowd went wild, I was not feeling well that day but i can tell you that i danced my heart away that night. This man is a legend and i am grateful that i had an opportunity to see him do his thing in my own backyard (Winnipeg) I can't wait for him to come back and this time around i hope he comes back on stage to do an encoure. Yes the fans would not leave, they wanted one more song from the legend. One last dance. All in All it was a great night



This drummer made me long for Africa

Winnipeg fashion week launch event

I am glad that i got a chance to attend the Winnipeg Fashion launch event at Divine and Conquer Boutique. The boutique is located on Academy and i was wondering why i have never heard of it before or why i had not shopped there before. Divine and Conquer Boutique is just exquisitive and focuses on promoting and selling local Designers. I thought the whole concept was just amazing, however i was sad to hear that the boutique is closing and hopefully move its store online.

The event, was the launch of the Fashion week and was meant for local Designers to mingle and interact with customers and shop while sipping on wine and having a bite to eat. I had a lot of fun and did a lot of networking and met a lot of new people and local designers.  Here are the pictures that i took of the event.

style crush: Nandi Mngoma

Its been a while since i have done a style crush and this week i wanted to feature the beautiful Nandi Mngoma. Nandi is an upcoming South African singer. i am just inlove with  her new song Good times and the video is just breath taking. There is something about Nandi that just captivates you,  whether its a her breath taking voice, her amazing sense of style or her amazing fun personality. I am happy that Nandi is such a huge star now. I  encountered Nandi on her blog a couple of years ago, before she went into music. She was always sweet on her blog and always replied and communicated to her readers. Years later as i was browsing the web, i see an article about Nandi and her soaring music career, i was happy that her dreams had come true. Check her out at iTunes :https://itunes.apple.com/za/album/nandi/id577081642 … and her new song Good times on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUff0BOiNPo

Blast from the past

This week  i am continuing with the pictures of yester year. It is interesting to see my journey, where i was and where i am now. The journey has been incredible, its been wild, crazy, joyous, painful , peaceful and full of love. Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forward.
