Today's Fly Femme Ramlah Boadi is a hard working fashionista, with an infectious personality and a keen fashion sense. She knows that its not all about the name you wear but how you wear it, mastering the art of mixing high and low name brands. Not at all afraid to take risks....
1. How would you describe your personal style?
I love to mix high, low and vintage fashion and accessories to achieve an eclectic urban vintage look.
2. What sparked you love or interest in fashion?
I have always been in love with fashion because I always felt that fashion does not always mean that, you have to wear what the others wear. It’s about thinking, I will make the world wear what I wear? The world is your runway so put an imprint on it.
3. What are some of your plans professionally for the rest 09'?
With God’s strength and endurance, I would love to get more into fashion show production, celebrity PR, and events….maybe styling. Sky’s the limit for me
4. What makes you a Fly Femme ?
I am a risk-taker, being able not to conform to the rules and doing it with class.

Kids’ wear has come such a long way in the last 5-8 years. Once upon a time, it was hand-me-downs from your older brothers and sisters. These days, any brand worth its weight in fashion gold, will have a diffusion range of kids’ wear offering the same grown-up aesthetic for young fashionistas and their stylish parents.

I must say I am loving solange's ensemble, I am drooling over her Chanel earrings and Giambattista Valli shoes perfect pop of color. What do you think of Solo's style. P.S the hair cut is growing on me.
So I got a ton of pictures in an email from LeToya's album release party. I must say I'am feeling the lil swag she got going. She's definitely on the come up, trying to take the shine away from Queen B. The few tracks I have heard from the album are really good, relatable, with lots of energy . Her second single "she aint got" gets me a lil hype, (its that boss bitch syndrome)
