OF COLOURED TEXTURES::GREEN SWEATER & MUSTARD BOOTIES

Hey guys, it's is so nice that the weather is finally looking up, but first(had to do that:))
just a quick post about this look. It was the perfect outfit for the super mega cold days that we just experienced. This sweater-that I thrifted while in Eldoret- kept me so warm, I literally needed to let some of the heat out, hence the rugged jeans!just kidding.
I love this jeans BTW. They are my other DIY project that I carried out successfully, and this is where I get dabbed as the queen of DIY!or not, I am fully aware of what people do to satisfy their wishes when the world is not kind enough to grant them.
So, I happened to have like three pairs of black jeans and none of them, rugged! How wrong is that? and so I did what I could to right the situation; YouTube was my bestfriend for this. All I needed was a pumice stone, scissors and some will power and behold! paired with these mustard booties was just the icing on the cake, seeing as to just how much I love contrasting colours, and colours in general, and who doesn't?
anyway, thanks so much for stopping by, do have a colourful day!

LACE DRESS & DIY FRINGE SANDALS

Heeeyy everybody! How have you been? Much more importantly, how are you dealing with this crazy cold? Where the hell did it come from anyway?  Just when I had returned my heavy jackets to their safe storage, little did I know that winter was actually coming! Jokes aside

This white lace dress is just gorgeous. I love it! I thrifted (if there’s such a word even) it while I was in Eldoret and this shoes? Well, they are my first DIY project-necessity is the mother of invention has never hit home so hard in my life as now. So I have been wanting, badly, a pair of fringe sandals and I could not seem to find any. So I figured that they are also made by a human like moi, and so why not go ahead and make my own?! Luckily I knew where I could get the suede material needed and superglue is the only other material needed and voila! I am now officially a successful do-it-yourselfer and oh-so proud of me. You can do anything you put your minds to ladies-see now, I am even getting inspirational. Lol

This look is one of those that allows you to go to work in, that is if your work allows creativity, and also for a fun night out after. Have a fun read!

Have a great week ahead and much loveYY

HOW TO STYLE MOM JEANS

Hello dear reader,

It’s been quite a while since we did this last, hasn’t it? At this day and age, I have come to realize that it is very easy to lose sight of your goals if you lose even the slightest focus. There is so much to do and so less time. It has been months of running away from myself, trying to curve out my niche, cliché but I have been thinking about my goals and sh*t. All those months you ask? Well yes, the curious case of thoughts but no action, sound familiar anyone? no? Well in any case, all that matters is that I am back to doing this thing that has been invading my mind day and night. I cannot run from it any longer. I will not make any promises though, I suck with those

This particular outfit is a bit matchy matchy…recently I have been warming up to colours, warm colours especially and as you can see I love me some mustard! Not the edible one, but the colour. This sweater I bought at such a throw away price while I was in Eldoret (for those of you who know the place, you know how cold and alaska’ish it can get. So it came in very handY seeing as it is so warm and comfortable. The shoes were a gift and the mom jeans? Where do I even start? I think mom jeans are the most versatile thing to ever grace this world, and I think there are ubersexy, don’t you think? So on that note, except more of this mom jeans here..Like way more. Without further ado…….

Have a fun read and merci beaucoup for stopping by.

BREAKING FROM A HIATUS

 I have been hearing quite a lot about how everybody these days is becoming a fashion blogger or a reader of books and people, who are non-bloggers or non-readers (if there's such a word) have all the time of course to criticise those who do. Also there are those who actually do these things and I guess they feel too confident in themselves and justified to judge who can read books or who should be a fashion blogger. I'm a believer of the saying, live and let live; I have not yet found a critique, yet, because fortunately people seem to think I have a good sense of style and I'm not even sure how I feel about this because my purpose every waking day is to defy the norm, to wear something so 'outrageous' that people will actually not get it-guess this is to mean I haven't fulfilled my objective, yet. But all these is beside the point, sometimes I think I judge myself too much and it results to me feeling out of my element and as a result end up doing nothing constructive-this should be a luxury only afforded by people who've already ventured into what they'd love to do for the rest of their lives-that's what I keep telling myself and on such days like this, it actually works and I end up posting on the blog, and bearing my soul bout non-issues lol.
anywho, this was for a shoot that I did for a wonderful soul,  Closet 57, it was a lot of fun with the best photographer in town Sam Ngengi

Thanks for reading!

Denim & A Pop of Colour

The most precious commodity in the universe is time, not gold, not silver. So much to do and such little time! This life amazes me and sometimes I’m even more amazed by the fact that we even bother to make anything of ourselves, how can we ever know what is really meant for us? Anyway we are humans and that is just us, trying and aiming at goals and dreaming of things that we are not even sure of. Guess that’s what makes life so exciting, the uncertainty of it all!

 Orange is one happy colour, and I was beyond excited when it premiered during the nyfw last week because I had some orange stuff in my closet that I used to wear so consciously because I feel like it is one of those colours that people do not wear out a lot, well it is the new black my friends so ditch out all those dull tees and replace them with oranges(not the fruit. We  here people). Anyway I am looking forward to putting the new trends(and even the old ) to personal styling!

Have a great week!

Do you remember me?

Nelson Mandela once said that our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure, it is our light not our darkness that most frightens us...that is my excuse for why I haven't been posting lately. go figure
but from now on, i promise to be posting more regularly because no matter how much I try running from it, fashion is what gives me a tick, I could stay up all night reading magazines while an hour is too much to spend on a boring business book.
 Back to fashion matters, I love mixing different textures to make an otherwise ordinary outfit exciting, and what better way than with two of the world favorite textures?!:) leather and lace! this skirt I bought it because it's not common, it is a hi-low sort of and while I know hi-lows are somehow 'a thing of the past', I could not deny myself! i threw in a rather official top to give the whole look a serius feeling and that was not necessary, it was just something I chose to do. next time I'll go wall fun on the skirt
ion, nyfw and lfw!! my favorite nyfw moments are coming soon btw. ciao lovers <3
great week ahead!
