Last night!!!

I have a thang for Jay Z... I have for years... well last night he did not disappoint! He is a GREAT performer! He is funny, talented, and well Jigga. He performed for about an hour and a half. John Legend was wonderful. He has a new song coming out in October on his new album called "Good Morning" listen out for that its a sweeeeeeet song.

The Fashion was off the hook. Nigeria designer Fati Asibelua, showcased her work at the festival, she founded her boutique line Momo in 2000. Her 2009 line was amazing! I hope there is a way to see them in our area!


Another great designer was jeweler to the stars Chris Aire who showcased $450 million dollars worth of fashion & jewels!!! Off the chain!!!

Music & Fashion


Well my sister with the keen eye got us tickets for the THIS-day Music and Fashion Festival. Another important element of Freston's book is that we must have fun! Its weird but in our busy lives we forget to make time for fun! There's work, school, gym, family, friends, and life is just so hectic so I am excited about tonight!
Jay-Z (love of my life!) and John Legend will headline a star-studded lineup from the world of music when THISDAY, Africa's leading daily newspaper and multi-media resource presents the Africa Rising Festival. "Africa Rising" was first launched in 2006 under the direction of THISDAY's Editor-in-Chief, Nduka Obaigbena. Its mission is not only to reflect the culture and positive attributes ofAfrica's social, political, and economic progress, but also to reach out to the continent'sdiverse population as well as the Diaspora and international communities.The show will also feature a major fashion element, as creations by such legendary internationaldesigners as Deola Sagoe, Chris Aire and Momo are showcased by top models Tyson Beckford, Alek Wek, Liya Kebede.
I am so glad I get to go I can't wait! Jay Z always makes everything alright! The event will be held at the Kennedy Center in Dc its not to late to get tickets for tonight! A great time and a good cause what more could you ask for!
