Unfortunately I don't have pictures of the full outfit but the dress and the shoes were both gifts and made a beautiful combination, African fabrics are one of the most vibrant and I was feeling very proud wearing them.

I was to busy at the event preparing the participants for the pageant that when I remembered to photograph myself it was the next day and I was in my pj's with my hair all messy.

ANGOLA FESTIVAL UK 2013

I went to the Angolan Festival UK 2013 this year - and yes I had V.I.P all access!

I just got home and I a, absolutely shattered but I couldn't help myself from getting the pictures up - STAT. The festival took place in the grounds of Clapton Football Club which is the Old Spotted Dog Ground in Forest Gate.

There was music, food stalls, book stalls, art and craft stalls ... all kinds of stalls.
