"Dreams without goals remain just dreams, and ultimately fuel disappointment. Goals on the road to achievement cannot be achieved without discipline and consistency." - Denzel Washington

Everyone has a goal to do one thing or another. However, without consistent (my ne favorite word) and persistent dedication to that goal it will forever remain a goal, and no an achievement. It is important to be disciplined and diligent in efforts to obtain ones goals because no one will desire for you to win more than you do for yourself.

This is a very popular pattern in Nigeria. While it is a type of Ankara, it is specifically called "Tye-and-Dye" given its print pattern.  Can you tell I had a good old time taking these photos...even in the cold? (=

Have a blessed week.

The Year of the Gentleman

"A gentleman is one who puts more into the world than he takes out." -George Bernard Shaw

Rarely do we ever see men adorned in Ankara. But as it is becoming more popular, men are beginning to heed to the newest fashion staple. Ankara for men is migrating into styles more than just the traditional Agbada (ahg-bah-dah), a heavy overlay gown of intricate embroidery, or Danshiki (dan-she-key), a V-shaped loose or fitted shirt with embroidery. Chris designed and sewed his on suit, pictured below. You can check him out on Instagram: thee_smoothedition.
