Looking for fun and trendy fashion jewelry pieces that go great with summer-kissed skin?

During the 2019 New York fashion showcases, Shangani Fashions reimagines fall-winter styling for the modern traveler. The brand emerged on the New York runways starting in 2017 by redefining women’s travel-wear with a contemporary African esthetic that embodies African culture and history. The name is derived from “Shoshangani” which means traveler. And is also an African tribe who dwelled near the Shangani River in Zimbabwe, Africa.
The brand continues these fundamental aesthetics with added features that contribute versatility and luxury for the modern traveler. The introduction of his and her matching style sets are an adorable signature look by Shangani that can add to the romance of any travel get-away. Shangani offers men’s apparel and accessory pieces that often complement the women’s collection. Each look is classic for the metropolitan man. Shangani caters to a “One Size Fits All” approach to different body types. The women’s collection is always multi-functional with added sex-appeal. You will always see showy legs, a peek of cleavage and African fabrics that flow.
“Our goal is to reach and inspire a bigger market.” Explains Creative Director, Mary Moore. “Most of our pieces are versatile and can be styled to offer numerous looks. I began adding detachable fur collars within this season’s collection. Traveling is part of my lifestyle and having a garment that transcends climate and seasons is so convenient. I lived in Russia for a few years, and I fell in love with fur during my stay. I have always wanted to work with fur. This season I have applied detachable fur as a luxury feature to the garments.”
Shangani’s showcase includes striking jewelry and leather handbags with bold African prints and contemporary shapes that match the signature garment. The handbags range from cozy clutch purses to colorful handbags for the business traveler. The looks are suitable as traditional ethnic-wear or casual business attire. A mix of modern contemporary shapes and ethnic fabrics for the active traveler is the passion behind Shangani Fashions.
Date night is the understated fun girl’s activity. Whether your married or out here living your best life, the millennial woman loves to have an on-tap date night outfit.
The looks the range from owning a skin-tight bodycon dress or pair of rhinestone skinny jeans. It really depends on the activity. Ladies, despite what anyone tells you, this is the time to put away the sweatpants unless the date is gym-related. That’s another blog post!
On this particular evening, we stepped out briefly which was a last-minute decision. I wanted something to wear that was sporty, comfortable, and trendy!
Homage Sportswear Store shipped the light-weight hoodie featured below. You’re probably asking, “Why should anyone wear a hoodie in the summer?” Well, for several reasons:
I selected the Chicago Cubs hoodie because of my family; they’re huge fans of the team. My great-uncle is a member of the Hall of Fame. It’s the one thing that keeps us connected; attending Cubs baseball games.
In the photo, I styled my hoodie with denim shorts and leopard heels. My shoes are a throwback from a few months ago and have never worn them!
This look was fun, trendy, and different from my normal date night outfit.
When I hear the word summer, I think of relaxation. Not from the standpoint of completing projects and daily tasks but vacation is normally right around the corner.
If you’re anything like me, the last thing I’m concerned about on vacation is my hair. I want to wake up with a clear goal in mind of having fun.
That means I must purchase Summer outfits and accessories that are wrinkle-free with an easy-fit. My accessories have to support this same philosophy because nobody wants to ruin their favorite handbag on the beach.
Straw hats are an effortless accessory that has endless Summer options. It can be worn to the pool; between grocery runs and while gardening.
Mainly, straw hats are essential because you don’t have to prep your hair. I can just get up and go which is my favorite morning routine!
The Scala Straw Safari Hat is perfect for protecting my face from the sun. And boy is it hot outside! Sun damage is a major issue and we must be proactive about protecting the skin. Aside from preventative efforts, the hat is also fashionable and well-made.
I love wearing my straw hat with a trendy top and wedge sandals. Tell me, what are your favorite summer accessories?
