NaturalAllure: Confessions of a Modern Day Natural : Style Stalking: Barbara A

This week I am excited to shake up this style stalk Friday with some culture. Fellow blogger & fashionista Barbara A. lets her Ghanaian heritage shine through with her use of bold African prints. She takes us into her world, if only for a moment using fashion as her gateway. African print has always had a strong presence in the fashion world, but with a growing number of fashion lovers of African decent it is here in a major way. Barbara is no different, check out her instagram for more inspiration @akuaqueen_b

It's hard to escape the influence of African print. There is no other culture that captures the essence of a nation quite like African print. You can even catch the sultry Queen B rocking amazing African prints.

1. When did you fall in love with fashion?

I fell in love with fashion watching my mom dress. My background is Ghanaian. My mother always had the latest lace and kente attire. As a child I loved prints, statement tops, skirts and unique patterns.

2. Who/What are your fashion inspirations?

My fashion inspiration I would say has a lot to do with my culture. African breed mixed with New York love. I adore Ankara print, peplum and statement pieces.

3. How would you describe your style?

I would describe my style as diverse. When I shop, I think more so of the quality over quantity. I play around with different items to see what would look good. No matter what I wear, I wear it with Confidence. You also don't have spend thousands of dollars in order to look like a million bucks. That's a true fashionista! Inspire others by being yourself :-).
