KANGARI BOUND IN MINT GREEN

Ok!! I know I know….

       I went on vacation and ditched my posts!! My friends who read the blog religiously have given me warnings and such. Apparently, they have been going through our friendship "terms and conditions" since it seems that I'm not doing my part. Ha! Forgive me. I have been enjoying my stay back home and eating like calories do not exist. I tell myself food is super organic, but those masala fries are not!! I mentioned being on a health journey  *coughs* (will catch up on that) but yes, I have been enjoying home-cooked authentic meals, being spoiled rotten, how about those farmer’s choice sausages? I need to stop. Truth be told I am extremely enjoying my time in Kenya that sitting down on a computer to post is an err... afterthought.

     Lately, I have been stuck in a rut. I would get on my site and just feel blah! Zero inspiration and drive. I figured I needed to change up a few things on my blog without losing my aesthetic.  I met up with a dope company that will help in my re-branding and I’m extremely, extremely thrilled. We are on the same page about the direction I want the blog to take. Will keep you updated on how that is coming along. 

This is an outfit post that's really late.  My family and I were heading to Kangari to visit my in-loves. Before we began our journey, we stopped by at Galleria for a family photo shoot and I decided to take a photo session of my own by the curios market. My darling mother makes her debut on my blog yayyy!! She found me taking pictures and jumped right in with me. She is such a pro. Love you mummy dearest!!

There is something about a light, flowy dress. It makes me want to twirl despite the head rush that comes with it. This mint gem from ASOS was a winner; I covered it up with a grey sweater that I borrowed from darling my sissy Nimo and wore comfy orange wedges.

You can tell where I get my energy from. We were laughing and making funny poses as the camera clicked away. My mother is super-hilarious and there is never a dull moment around her. 

There some more outfit posts that will be on here, a tad late but hey, better late than never right?

Thanks stopping by.

BLACK AND WHITE

I attended the FALL INTO FASHION EVENT HOSTED BY BOULEVARD OF CHIC this past weekend by the Inner Harbor. I was invited as a VIP Blogger to cover the event which was such an honor. I met a great number of people and made a few connections. Networking is everything! Despite the drop in temperatures (it was 43 degrees but it felt like 19) the turn out was great. Read more on the event here....

(5 hours earlier....)

     Ever had a day where nothing looks good on you. Absolutely nothing!! It can be quite frustrating. Especially if it is an event, a fashion event, where pictures will be taken, and a lot of mingling happening. I look at the pile of clothes over flowing my bed in utter dismay. This can’t be life. (Oh! About that pile of clothes. I started this thing on being organized, or at least, getting things organized.  You know what they say when you have things in order. It’s easier to find whatever you are looking for, you feel more at peace…bla bla bla.  Number one rule of getting things in order is to remember the extreme importance of returning things where you found them. Ha!)

So here I am, trying to figure out what to wear, the pile of clothes on my bed already forming an impressive mini-hill and I ignore the gentle voice in my head says something about returning things where I found them. The hangers are strewn on the floor, I can't find that stole I had on a minute ago, and I’m about to fall flat on the floor because of a shoe that I had kicked off earlier trying to put a few looks together!! My goodness!! ORDER  has walked out the door and it’s evil twin chaos is about to walk in.

Sadly, I don’t have the patience to put that first rule of thumb in good use. I recall no one ever goes wrong with a black and white ensemble. Boom!

(I usually know what I will wear in advance, and I at times, I even lay out the outfit a day before, but sometimes, those looks don’t look as good as I thought they did the day before**I might have gained weight overnight because the waist band on my pretty laid out skirt is too snug, must be the cupcake***…and on being organized, I am, at least I like to think that I am. It’s not the  “color coded, folded as the GAP store, hangers 2 inches apart, OCD CRAZY,” but organized all together.)

I decide to tackle my mini pile of clothes when I get back home. I still adhere to the rule of thumb (at the back of my mind) just not immediately because…who wants to be late for an event right?

So here I am in black and white ensemble because when all fails, black and white will always be there to save the day.

FIRST

HELLO EVERYBODY!!

First post of the year!!!!! Super thrilled!!!!!

Am a lil tardy but please pardon me. I am currently on vacation in my home country Kenya and am loving every moment of it. It's soo beautiful .....and the sunnnn.... oh I can go on for days. The best part of it all is just being with my family.

I had these pictures taken a couple weeks ago at Suzie Wokabi's beautiful backyard  while we were shooting at the second season of Kenyan Vibe's webseries Fashion with Roshie.  Season two ALREADY!!!?? Yes its on production and I cant wait to share the it with you all. That's all am saying about it for now.. :)

Am rocking a pretty houndstooth print dress, sort of like a skater dress with nude wedges. It's a very neutral look for someone who loves color like me, but I love it. My small sis Nonny joined in the shoot at the end. She is a rockstar and in no time we were laughing our hearts out.
