6 days to Christmas!

Happy holiday’s dear readers?

I’m having a lot of fun being home, on holiday, having family around and the little animals on the next photo.

This hat my sister had Inzovu.com make to match with one of her bags.It really brought the drama on this one! I mixed my fabric accessories from Jaber with gold bracelets.

I’m grateful for the entire Drum Magazine team for this shoot. Have you gotten this months copy? Dubbed ‘The art of Convesing’ this is a themed shoot sytled by me. 🙂

Daddy’s music favourites this month include…

Christmas with Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, Diana Ross-A very special season, Kenny G-The holiday album,and Luther Vandross -This is Christmas.

Happy, happy holidays! What do you have planned?

Muthoni the actress.

Happy Sunday. 🙂

This is my cousin Muthoni Hunja, the most bubbly person I know.

 

She is an upcoming actress, and I styled her for one of her rehersals. You may have seen the necklace here and earrings here.

As the spirit of Christmas creeps in, I’m grateful for Miss Muthoni Hunja and im proud of her accomplishments this year. She’s been in the play Rohio and Julliet and here she is in the play The Deputy Husband by @Wholesomee in outfits that I styled.

Isn’t she lovely?

Ladies wear lace…

…But do they pose on top of tractors?;-)

Well anything for style and an interesting photo.

I’m not a big fan of lace but Jen is, some things sort of rub off on me. I felt really lady like in this lace top. I must admit, my dream gown ought to have lots of lace!

This stone wash skirt added the perfect grunge feel I wanted.

Happy it’s Christmas season? Me too!

What are you stylish people reading?

X’s and O’s….

Remember this post that I did with Emo here? 

Well, he has been nominated for The best East African Model in the 2012 Swahili Fashion Week. Let’s vote for him here! 🙂 

Mother-In-Law

Happy, happy Sunday good people!

Now that I have your attention… There are no wedding bells, and none coming soon, but a girl is allowed to dream, YES? 🙂

If I were to met my mother in law today, this is what i’d wear!

(Excuse the pose, we go a little carried away when shooting!)

It’s decent and the graphic top brings out my youthful nature. It is a really simple outfit which I think shows that you are not trying too hard to impress. 

One of my coolest aunts, antie Njeri made me this skirt. She studied dressing making close to 25 years ago, went into pharmacitical work, and is now slowly getting back into it. She is coming up with a bag collection. Check this one out.

 

These yummy beads always make me happy. Anything yellow does!

Tis the season to be jolly! 🙂 I’ve got loads in store for you his month….

I recently discovered COMMON ROOTS, check out their website here.

Dare to be different!

Good morning lovelies. Do any of you look good to feel good? With my exams, style keeps me smiling, I chose to wear this dress from Jaber designs which i also wore here.

These have got to be my new favourite shoes! 🙂

Which of the two looks do you like better?

Have a happy, happy Tuesday! 

🙂 🙂 🙂

Something new!

Happy new week! I trust you are all well? I got really sick last week which set me off a bit, especially since I’m starting exams this week, today actually. But I’m back! 🙂

This outfit was something new,a look which I think is very me, and very different from what I’d comfortably choose.

Most people never think of wearing their official tops casually. I was more than happy to, I especially love the colour of the top. Check out the detail on the back.

These are my new favourite shoes. Very unique booties/sneakers from Zara. 

I’ve got the power to….

DREAM BIG! 🙂

To those doing exams, all the best, don’t let them bring you down. 

 

RED CARPET DIVA

Dressing for the red carpet is never easy. When I think of all the press that’s going to be there, I get a little excited. I am a growing brand. I feel like I have a duty to my employer, Eve Gal, to stand out. Anyone who works for them is the best, I believe. Call it corporate communications. I had a hard time dressing for this particular event compared to others I’ve attended. I mean, when a silver ticket was going for ksh 5000, and a golden ticket at ksh 7500, that alone kinda gives you a feel of which serious people will be in attendance.

I knew for a fact I wasn’t going to wear heels. I am proudly not a heels kind of girl. Comfort is essential. I didn’t want to wear a dress either. From past experience EVERYONE wears dresses to the red carpet. I initially decided on two trends, Leather  and cool knit sweaters, but changed my mind on the leather when i stumbled upon….

I have never EVER worn leggings/ tights, buy these felt right. You would not believe where i got them from… the formal section at Mr. Price. I am not particularly  one of those people who prefer not to shop at merchandise stores for the fear of seeing someone else in the same outfit. Truth is , no two people ever wear them exactly the same way! However, for the red carpet I must  admit, this was a bit of a risk. Also, I could almost hear Blair Waldorf’s dissaproval, “…and she wore an outfit by no one!”

Me and Melody of House of VirGody.

I got this Kylie band from Bridget of Laddia accessories. ( more on her coming soon!)

I also wasn’t sure about wearing pants on the red carpet, but after doing my research I realized people really don’t care what you wear. Just keep it formal and look like you tried! Check  out this poll by The People magazine, here.

Here are some celebrities in pants as well.

What do you think of my outfit?

I’VE GOT A REALLY LONG POST COMING UP TOMMOROW, BE SURE TO DROP IN! 🙂

Sequins & FAFA!

Happy, happy Friday…

I’ve got a lot to look forward to this weekend!

This is a really comfy look that I wore around school. Remember these uber cool Kikoy shoes I got from Bata Kenya  that I wore here?

The sequins thing is trending, but do not overdo it. It isn’t Christmas yet!

 Tomorrow is FAFA and for some strange reason, I thought it was next week. I’ve been rushing to come up with a unique outfit, and this time, I will really go out of my comfort zone.

This will be the 4th edition of the event, and my very first time attending. FAFA was set-up in 2008 during the post-election violence which took place in Kenya.FAFA aims to change perceptions of other communities one mind at a time by exploring and bridging cultures through fashion, art and music.

Fashion for Peace was born from the belief that positive change can come when we stop focusing on the negative and encourage the positive and the inspiring, working together as different cultures in a spirit of harmony.

Follow FAFA here for behind the scenes footage and a little peek of what to expect. My highlight? The FAFA finale will revolve around our Sports Heroes who have excelled on the world stage including the Olympic games in London earlier this year.

Janet Wanja, volleyball player. Don’t we just love her hair?

Too excited!!! Have a happy , happy Friday! I know I will!
