FASHION FRIDAY: ANKARA

Next weekend, Team TDB has the distinct pleasure of  attending the 2013 Ankara Festival LA. Per usual, I have no idea what I will be wearing, and in my search of the perfect ankara ensemble, I stumbled upon some pics of some fab celebrities wearing this print.

FLASHBACK FRIDAY: 2PAC

Seventeen years ago today Tupac Shakur died. Seven years ago, the 10th anniversary of his death, his mother spread his ashes in Soweto, South Africa. He loved Africa and it's people and we loved him back. Maybe even a little too much (read here). 

FLASHBACK FRIDAY: THIS OR THAT TAG

This week's flashback is definitely one of our fave videos that we've made. The This or That Tag  video was so much fun to do, and we found out a lot of interesting things about each other. Pure shenanigans. Don't worry, we'll be shooting more videos soon. Enjoy! HAPPY FRIDAY! 

FLASHBACK FRIDAY: HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD

In honor of our dad's birthday, we thought it would be fun to share our favorite pics. They're really old, so bare with us. Happy Birthday Dad! 

FLASHBACK FRIDAY: NELSON MANDELA

Yesterday, we celebrated the birthday of one of the greatest leaders in the world: NELSON MANDELA. Here are some of our fave Mandela moments. 

FASHION FRIDAY: A LOOK BACK

So, tomorrow  marks our one-year anniversary! I swear, time really flies; it's crazy to think of all the amazing things we've done over the past year.

FLASHBACK FRIDAY: THE DOSHA BRAND

This week we thought it would be fun to show some pics of us from back in the day. Happy Friday. Enjoy!

FLASHBACK FRIDAY: JANET JACKSON

Janet Jackson is known for having such great music videos and the visual for "Got Til It's Gone" is no different. The video takes place during the South African apartheid and features Sudanese model Alek Wek. Everything about this video is amazing. Enjoy! 

FASHION FRIDAY: YSL & IMAN

Yves Saint Laurent is the definition of a trailblazer. He was innovative, daring, experimental, and at the forefront of the latest fashion trends, which he was usually setting. Nothing embodies his genius more, in my opinion, than his 1967African Queen collection.

This collection definitely shook up the fashion industry and many designers there after began to look at Africa for fashion inspiration. You can still see the influence of this collection int the world of fashion: caftans and safari jackets can still be seen on the runway as well as in glossy fashion mags.

Fun fact, this collection was actually inspired by Monsieur Laurent's muse, super model Iman.

FLASHBACK FRIDAY: MEAN GIRLS

Ah, what can I say about  Mean Girls?  Great cast. Great story. Great movie. I don't know any girl in high school that didn't absolutely LOVE this movie and tried to constantly make "fetch happen".
