TOUCH OF COLOR

I had to take the picture of this woman carrying her child, I loved her summer dress,
with hot colors, was a refreshing view on Goree Island.

They just are crazy about those scarves, at some point you couldn't walk the streets without seeing those Arafat scarves, they've calmed down just a bit with that trend...but they sure do love those neck accessories!

THE BEAUTY OF AICHA!


Through this picture I wanted to pay homage to the choice of style of tradional Senegalese women, they like to adorn themselves and to match their make up to their outfits in this way, they feel beautiful that way..isn't it what truly matters?

STOU AND HISTOIRE 2 BIKE!


Stou is one those people who is effortlessly stylish, not to say that she doens't pay attention to what fits her, but the essence of her person is just stylish, from the choice of her nail polish to the simplicity of the combination of her jeans and tank top, she's " style"..

Why "Dakar I love you"?

I am laughing at myself while writting this billet, how many blogs can one have?
I don't know , I've created several within the last few years but I guess this is my new
"blog baby"
I wanted to pay homage to my town, inspired by the Sartorialist and Garance I wanted to show the fashionable way people expressed themselves in my town, whether I am fan or not of their personal sense of style..
I am excited about this, let's go:)
