Parisian Street Style By Afro Fly

Afro Fly!
Hi everyone, I'm Afro Fly, a young naturalista, born and raised in Paris, France. 
I love shopping a good deal online or at thrift stores. Yes I can spend a whole afternoon chilling at flea markets or on ebay.. shame on me!
I also enjoy hanging outside, camera in hand, being inspired by what the creativity and fashion sense from the streets can give me, that's how I've started taking streetstyle pictures, just for my own personal inspirational lookbook. So when I've heard Natural Belle was looking for a Paris reporter/naturalista, I just knew I had to submit my street style pics, and now it's official! I'll be bringing you street style with a naturalista twist from the streets of Paris exclusively for Ms Belle
 I can't leave you without telling that I love blogging My readers & followers are mainly french-speaking, but you can follow me on facebook and spread your love and support on my page.

Hair Talk With Louisa Of Afroblush



Firstly introduce yourself? Where are you from and what do you do?
My name is Louisa, I often get called afroblush, but that’s just the name of my blog. I am a researcher, writer and blogger. I love things on the topic of fashion, culture, Africa, art, design, beauty and generally lifestyle.



How long have you been natural?
I have been a natural for just over one year. It’s my third time to go natural, I have relapsed in my last two attempts, but I have so much love and respect for my hair now, I cannot go back.

Green Baby


I'm loving Green Baby, the leading eco friendly baby company established in 1999, it's a one stop shop for ethically responsible baby items from nipple balm to cute (non twee) baby rompers! I'm loving this site mainly because it's has a great selection of non gender specific clothing (you don't know how sick I am of lemon yellow!!) I'm loving the striped rompers and sleepsuits and currently Green Baby has up to 75% of selected lines
