The Savvy Dial

The Ghana Fashion & Design Week (GFDW) happened this weekend in Accra and I was so psyched to be a part of this beautiful experience. I had so much fun attending shows and making new friends from all over the world. Here is a recap of events and some highlights from the runway.

Posed with a couple amazing people in fashion:

With beautiful fashion model Doris.

With super talented fashion designer Ajepomaa Mensah.

With lovely model Deola.

With multi-talented designer Naana Tennachie Yankey.

And now, highlights from the SS2013 runway shows, excuse the blurs!

Here is an easy DIY project I made last weekend. You can try this too using any old phone cover or if you're just going for a more customised look on your current phone cover.

What you'll need:
*Spray paint (in grey primer, clear coat and metallic gold or any colour you prefer).
*Craft paper
*Any tool to scrape the old cover (I used my scissors)


Process:
1. Scrape off old paint or coloring from your phone cover.
2. Wipe cover clean.
3. Coat with grey primer and leave in open air to dry.
4. When primer is dry, coat cover with your metallic gold paint and let it dry for a few minutes.
5. Apply a second coat of paint.
6. After that dries, apply your clear coat to finish.

(Optional):
*The finished cover looks good by itself but if you want to bedazzle it like I did, just add some rhinestones and glue to create any design you want.

I hope you'll be able to try this sometime. Tweet me pictures if you do! :)
