REPEAT OFFENDER

 Hey Loves,

I hope you all had a fun and productive weekend. Mine was super awesome. Kenya hosted the president of America, Barack Obama for a three day visit. Am so proud to be Kenyan. We are still bursting with pride  and excitement. It is the first time for Kenya to host an American president and we are greatly honored.

On today's style post, I have two confessions to make. 1) I accidentally left behind the shoes that I had paired up with this outfit so I settled for this pretty tan brown pair that are casual but with a lady like vibe. 2) I have worn this top and this belt on the blog before and I cant promise not to wear them on the blog again. See here and here respectively.

This top  is one of my favorite pieces in my closet. I love its unique feminine shape, subtle color and the strong feminine and flirty vibe that it exudes. Then there's the see through embroidery detailing and the ruffled chiffon splicing...I mean, that is just too much cuteness in one piece. The belt  is very versatile and it works well with so many outfits. There's a way that it glams up even the demurest of outfits.  Most importantly, I find the outfit ideal because its unexpected but still really cohesive.

Ohhh and I think I have worn this double pearled neck piece on the blog before. See here and the earrings and bracelet on my previous style post. Am guilty as charged. I think am very notorious when it comes to repeat items. I get too attached to items that I love. We all have those items in your closet that you end up wearing over and over for one reason or another. Or don't we?

TRES CHIC

Hello Sunshine,

If only this weather could make up its mind...Sigh! One moment its hot...warm rather...and the other moment it is super cold. But it has mostly been cold here in Nairobi so much so that am now pairing knits with nearly everything. 

It was fun shooting this style post. This skirt is so beautiful and swingy. It channeled the inner girly girl in me. I kept swirling and swirling and swirling the whole time. I also loved the way the color combo turned out to be so subdued hence giving it the fairy whimsical feel. 

That's how this look that's comprising of a white and pink full circle skirt and the furry sequined top happened. At this point the sun was all out. Then a while late...it was snowing...well not literally. But it was freezing cold.  

Before I go, have I mentioned that this skirt is a result of a DIY-ed dress? If not, now you know.

And now for the pics...

MY BIRTHDAY WISH LIST

Hey Loves!



I tell you what, there are only two days remaining to my Birthday! Am happy. Ecstatic. Grateful to God for having brought me this far. I mean, it's such a biggie. Am not taking it for granted. 

After hours of self evaluation on Sunday, over a cuppa green tea. I compiled a list of things that I would like to lay my hands on, come Sunday. This list will also come in handy for anybody looking around for birthday gift ideas for a sister, girlfriend or mother. 

Feel free to surprise me with anything from this list. After all, that is why I put it together. (Just kidding) I mean to say that gifts are always welcome.

Happy Reading! 

Topping my list is this sleek and delicate gadget. I would really love to get a feel of it, I mean who wouldn't?. Come on somebody... 




A perfect way of  staying fly without sacrificing your comfort. These black and gold espadrilles are super cute and comfort. 

Rich Red Velvet Cake


A Birthday is not complete without cake. Heaven for me is rich creamy red velvet cupcake. 




Its not too early to start furnishing your wardrobe with summer essentials. And this print pair of espadrilles with rope like sole detailing is a Summer Must Have. I got to have it Now before it runs out of stock.




I need a bag that can transform easily from work to weekends and also one that would blend with most of my outfits. This Tote would therefore be God sent. I love tan brown accessories for those two main reasons.





It is one of the most commonly used Camera in the blogsphere . I am looking to buy a good functional Camera and am leaning more towards this one as it has got really good reviews.

Daniel Wellington Watch


 It is simple yet elegant and I love the fact that the straps are neutral and would blend perfectly with nearly every item that you own in your closet. Its a high time I got one for myself.

A Bouquet of My Favorite Chocolates


Chocolates is the way to a woman's heart. And Ferrero Rocher is my all time favorite. Swing them my way and I will love you forever.


Neutral Eye Shadows are a Must-Have in a woman's make up collection. I bumped into these LA Colors Neutral Eye Shadow Set and thought why not?



Other than the fact that its white, the snake skin effect on these cute pair make it so irresistible. They would also go down well with a classic skirt or a pant suit. 




I have been postponing owning a a complete make up brush set for far too long now. These ones are coming home with me for sure.


I went berry picking and bumped into this rich dark Ombia berry. It totally blew me away. Its the kind that would make your lips pop. I got to have it.


I am gonna be trying this Mary Kay Primer for the very fast time and am sure am going to Love it. A primer helps make up stay longer, so it is important that you have one as it will save you on time spent on doing touch ups.


With this unending ice cold weather ( Its cold and wintry in Kenya by the way) I could do with this cozy print knit scarf.

My Paris Dream By Kate Betts


Its currently on my reading list. Am dying to lay my hands on this book. 

Shopping Spree


A moment of bliss. A fully paid shopping trip to this great city of romance sounds like a great plan indeed. A girl has got to live a little.

Sound Health and Well being


And finally, I am praying for good health and happiness for myself ,my family and all my lovely readers and I hope to share many many more birthdays with you.

Happy Birthday to Me!!

Love y'all.
