The Little Black Dress Chronicles (Part III)


You've got a night out with your girls or your man and you don't know what to wear. You've been too busy running your business or working your ass off in school. You may be dealing with taxes, bills and all that hustle. You're a high achiever, a go getter who basically had no time to shop for something sexy. What should you do though? You work hard but you still need to look fierce right?

The Little Black Dress Chronicles (Part II)


When I was a kid one thing that absolutely baffled me was why women's skirts moved side to side when they walked. I thought it was a trend or something. One day I was shopping at Sarit with my mum and started swaying my skirt while walking, feeling very proud of myself. I felt a sudden sharp pain on my arm as my mum immediately started scolding me. The pain I had after she pinched me was literally dreadful. Friends, I never dared sway my skirt again. Haha!

The Little Black Dress Chronicles (Part I)


Ladies, I won't bore you all with chatter on how the little black dress is a quintessential in your wardrobe. No. I think we've all heard enough about that by now. Instead, for the next three posts (including this one) I shall show you a small style lookbook on three different ways to wear it.

Nature's Botox!


Picture this, you've planned a meeting with her. You took a bit of a long time but still made it. Better half loaf than none right? "Here we go" You go through the driveway and park. It looks a bit lonely but she must be in there...

Layer up!



Hello darlings!

First of all I'd like to apologize for my inconsistency in posting here. I have been working on a few projects with my friends and I am also trying to learn a new skill this holiday. I am really excited to share with you but well, what's life without a few surprises? If everything goes as planned, I shall let you all in on it! I'm just praying for the best :)

Hot and cold



Have y'all seen how undecided this weather has been lately? Katy Perry must've been in Nairobi around this time of the year when she was getting inspiration for her song, Hot n Cold. Lol! Every morning I take half my prep time trying to be a weather girl; predicting the weather so that I can pick out an outfit. Girl problems you know...

Lets talk about bras baby!

Bra tip: Stacking your bras in your lingerie drawer helps to maintain their shape.
If I could describe what the in between of heaven and hell was; it would be bras. That beautiful curve, cleavage and proper bra support and that moment at the end of the day when you remove your bra and it feels like you just broke your tatas out of a supermax high-security prison, that's heaven!

Hello World!

"Where flowers bloom, so does hope" - Lady Bird Johnson

Fear has a way of constantly sneaking into your mind especially when making great life choices. All those what ifs, and worst case scenarios and what not clog your thoughts so much that your life seems to be on a standstill. I've recently been on one of those crossroads, deciding what direction to go in terms of my career. Fashion or graphic design? Hmm...

"I love myself and I can do anything I set my mind to" These are the words I keep reciting in my mind to constantly remind myself that I can do whatever I want to, no matter what adversities there are. Eventually, I shall figure it out. It'll be one hell of a roller coaster ride but its okay, you know, c'est la vie.

I'll let you in on a little secret, my heart is a volcano, once I feel something, it erupts and there's no way of stopping it. So I felt that as a step forward to achieving my dreams I should start a blog, and here we are! Most of you might be so over the idea especially with all sorts of blogs popping up quicker than your morning round of toast; but I thought to myself, why not?

I am yet to find my niche but this is the story of my journey. This is the display of some of my work, my style, my musings, my inspirations and the little things that make me happy. So if you wish, hop on to this ride and lets make the most out of it :)
