CELEB STYLE WATCH: SOLANGE KNOWLES

Pin It

Hi all!!

Ever since I started knowing anything about fashion and style, I had people I admired, people who I tried to imitate in my dressing. Even now there are some people I consider to be my style icons. I don’t want to imitate their style blindly, but pick out certain aspects that really stand out to me and reflect my personal style.

One of those people is Solange Knowles. I originally preferred Beyonce’s style but there is something about Solange Knowles that I absolutely love. She has a bold style and isn’t afraid of playing with colour.

 I love how she is adventurous with prints, cuts, hairstyles and hair accessories and not forgetting make-up.

MID-WEEK REFLECTIONS: May Edition

Pin It

Hello there!!

I hope May has been a good month for you. I have to say that I have had to face new horizons this month and come to terms with CHANGE.

On Life…

You see my brother moved out of home a week ago and my way of coping is to banish any thought of not seeing him whenever I want. My brother and I are born one year apart and we have been the best of friends. We tell each other everything and he is one person I can count on for the truth as well as a shoulder to lean on during tough times. He is so cool, whenever I want to go clubbing guess who I ask to accompany me? Yeah. But all that came to an end when I encouraged him to take up a job that required him to move out of Nairobi. I miss him so much, but I am afraid that if I tell him, it will make it harder for him to settle down to his new life.

On blogging…

I had hoped to blog everyday this month but life got the better of me and I had a minor setback, one of them being that I fell sick last week and had to take time off to recuperate. That coupled with the tensions surrounding my hunt for a job and changes at home, made me lose psych for blogging. But I am trying a new strategy of creating my blog posts for the week over the weekend so that I have at least one post up every day.

My main lesson this month is that change is inevitable. One way or the other we all have to face it. What matters is how we choose to deal with it. There are times when I run away from the thought of change and there are times when I see it as an opportunity to gain new experiences and make new connections. So whatever you are going through at this very moment, take time out and see it as a good opportunity for you to grow as a person and as a friend.

Happy Wednesday!!

WHAT I WORE: Cropped Sunday

Pin It

Hi all!! Happy new week!

My love for crop tops has reached an ultimate high. So much so that I got one of my old t-shirts and made a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) crop top.

I wore it yesterday, paired with my blue maxi skirt. I added a scarf, heels and a clutch to complete the outfit.

With the weather being as confused as it is, I have all my clothes on standby. There are days when I choose warmer ones and others, like yesterday when I go for something more summery.

 I have had these box braids for three weeks now and I must say, I am still in love with them. And, I’m becoming a pro at holding them in a bun. I now want to look for a new way to style them.

 Outfit Details:

Maxi Skirt: gift from India

Crop top: DIY, gift

Sequin and lace Scarf: Gikomba Market, Nairobi KSh. 50

Heels: Moi Avenue (hawkers) KSh.100

Clutch: Ngara Market, Nairobi KSh. 100

Bangles: Sarojini Market, India

Loop Earrings: gift

Have you tried wearing crop tops yet?

Happy Monday!!!
