Flygirl of the Week - Kinderbloom

I am going to big up my little sister right now. About a year ago she started Kinderbloom , a web based store where she sells her handmade children tutu's and pillowcase dresses. Her stuff are amazing. The way she uses colors and fabrics, the creativity jumps of the screen.
It makes me wish i was a little girl again, running around looking hellah cute.
So please feel free to spread the word. This stuff is worth it.

Love Poema

P.S. The pretty little model is my niece Sophia.

African hiphop in Secret Garden

As some of you may know. I am a big fan of African Arts & Culture. I am inspired by the creativity that comes from the different young people from Africa and the African Diaspora.
So last sunday when i was asked to join their celebration of Africanhiphop.com i was honoured to join. The celebration turned out to be a relaxt, warm get together with artists like Zwart Licht, Pan Africans, Selah Adin, my girl Esperanza (she is amazing). To name a view.
And all of this is Amsterdam Secret Garden: Tolhuis Tuin.
Its the most beautifull garden in the North of Amsterdam. And for one day. Africa came and took over.. :)
