Fabulous Accesories - Duafe Designs

Peepers I have some REALLY talented friends. I'm serious. I am truly blessed to have gifted women in my inner circle who have transformed their desire to step outside the box into a collection of beautiful works of art. One of which is my good friend Ayodele Kinchen, who is the Owner and Designer of Duafe Designs.

Ayo creates gorgeous Jewelry, Bags, Clothing and Waist beads. When I tell you this woman's talent is amazing. I am not exaggerating! I was going through her Websites and FB pages and honey, there were so many lovely pieces that I found it was very hard to decide which ones to post.... Well I have narrowed them down the following 14 pictures.... Enjoy!

 Earrings 

Necklaces and Pendants 

Hand Bags 

Waist beads 

Honey, I told you this girl is BAD!!!! And by the way the model featured in the pictures is Ayo's younger sister Folami. Yes... talent runs in the family!

Peepers, check out the website and let me know which is your favorite piece from Duafe Designs. Until next time, keep peeping, you might just find a treasure!

These ladies are rocking it!! 

 While I am in love with this trend, when worn correctly there is a bone I have to pick... I am going to say this Loud and Clear...I think TheWondrous.com said it best. "MC Hammer is NOT coming back and neither should his pants!"

 For goodness sake who thought this was a good idea? Why didn't the people around them tell them that it was a bad idea. Please someone tell me, what is Sexy or Chic about looking like you took a big dump in your already Soggy Diaper.

Summer Chic...

Hey Closet Peepers!

This weekend I went to a friends Barbecue...Good eats, Good Company Good times!......

The hostess, Ms Lady Rain as I fondly call her, looked quite Fabulous as always!!......

To me her look said, "Lets start the summer party season off right!" The outfit was nice and cool and fabulously chic at the same time. I was inspired to re-create the look.

Ms. Lady Rain's Look

When re-creating a look from a friends closet remember the rules:

• DO NOT go out and buy the exact same outfit. 
• Her style idea and color combination should be your inspiration 
• Make the look your own by adding accesories, shoes, bags ect..

Kimaada's Kloset Spin on the Look

The Bag....It Just Called My Name!!

Hey There Peepers!!

How was every one's Memorial Day weekend? I hope every one was able to spend time with family as well as take a bit of time to remember the Veteran's and be thankful for all of the Men and Women currently serving in our Armed Forces.

My weekend was great....busy but really wonderful. BBQ's Saturday and Sunday.....and Bowling at a Church event on Monday....So much Fun. At one of the Cookouts I attended, a friend of mine was carrying this bag that literally caught my eye from across the room. So you know I had to get a closer look, take a picture and share you with you all.

Isn't it fabulous?? I just had to research the designer. The Brand is Anuschka. The designers create beautifully hand painted leather bags. The artistry is impeccable and the designs are eye catching. Carrying one of these bags can turn a simple Jeans and a T-shirt day......into one of those days that people are constantly complimenting you on your look!

The Frugal Fashionista!

Well hello there fellow Closet Peepers!!!

The other day my Mom and I were in Oakland's Laurel District, looking for this cute little earring shop I discovered a few months ago.....for some reason they were closed on a Saturday @ 3p......So disappointing because I really wanted to blog about this store. :(   As my mom and I were casually walking back to my car we noticed a new clothing store about 2 doors down.....now you know me, I likes to get my shop on...So I had to go in......as soon as I entered I noticed a big sign that said "Monique's Clozet "!!

Now you know that was my invitation to begin my favorite pastime of "Closet Peeping!!" Turns out that Monique's Clozet sells consignment and new merchandise......As you all can imagine, I am pumped because as you know, I am a Closet Peeping Frugal Fashionista!!!

One of the first things I noticed was how cute the store was....

I looked around the store and immediately knew I wanted this store to be one of my blog entries..... as I told you all before, I love to bargain shop so this was right up my alley. I introduced myself to the woman behind the counter....Peepers let me tell you...she was so kind and extremely helpful. Shouts out to Ms. Esther Wilson! After she called the owner and received permission, Ms Esther proceeded to show me around the store......

Monique's Clozet, carries new and vintage clothing, shoes, bags and accessories, The clothing ranges from sizes 0-3x, which I love because often time consignments stores forget about us curvy women...Not Monique's Clozet, in fact the owner designs her own line of t-shirts with the logo Curvy Diva's Rock!!

How cute is that!!!

Check out some of my favorite treasures I found at Monique's Clozet......

Super cute right!! Monique's Clozet is located @ 4140 MacAthur Blvd., Oakland, CA 94619......Go check them out Peepers!!

Comment below and tell me which one of these vintage treasures are your favorites.....


Until next time my dearies.....Keep peeping, You might just find a treasure!!
