Ituen Basi!

I'm back!  It's been far too long, please forgive me but there has been lots to do and tons to get through but fear not I was never far.

Today my wonderful new find is Ituen Basi, I was struck by her Spring/Summer '09 collection aptly coined 'Ankara and Beads'.  I LOVE African fashion, don't you?

If you haven't already done so you can check out the feature on her in the March '09 issue of Genevieve magazine.
