We’re giving our feature an international spin with Dee from Badagry, Lagos.
She says, “My style is versatile but also highly influenced by my culture.”
“I like to refer to my fashion and style as Art…”
“… treating my body like a blank canvas that I’m allowed to paint at any point creating whatever I’m feeling.”
“So my mood is always a big determinant of my style.”
“Presently I’m loving hats, I think its just because sometime protective hairstyles and natural hair can get tiring.”
“Thanks for having me. This feature is one of my 2015 goals.”
Well, there you have it! Your style is artful and absolutely fabulous!

Yesterday, I was invited by HLN’s Daily Share to discuss 2015 MTV Music Awards fashion with stylish host Rocsi Diaz, and fashionistas Alicia L. Quarles and Shae Wilbur.
Solid colors always work well for TV (so I am told!), so I decided to wear my K Mills Collection signature bow dress.
We actually featured K Mills’s bow dresses as a Bomb Product of the Day. They come in a slew of colors, including Yellow, Purple, Green, White, Coral, Red, Black, Wine, Royal Blue, Winter White, Pink, Teal, and Denim. I opted for red for my most recent twirl on TV.
It was all about prints for Dania Ramirez at the Republic Records VMAs After Party. For the fête, she slipped on a Dora Abodi Spring 2015 Printed Halter Dress:
Her dress was paired with printed ankle-strap sandals on the runway.
The belt was unnecessary here, but I love Dania’s commitment to wearing cutting-edge designers!
Selena Gomez wore her second black dress for the evening! She headed into the Sunset Tower Hotel in a Gabriela Cadena Fall 2015 Black Sheer Inset Zipper Dress:
On the runway, her dress was paired with thigh-high heeled lace-up sandals.
