OUTFIT: Thursday, 15th December 2011

Today I had to leave the house earlier than I would have liked. It was so cold. I think the temperature drops a few degrees each day because no day is like the previous one. And we can only expect it to get colder until about mid-January.

So today's outfit was mostly to keep me warm than anything else. And this coat, scarf and boots served their intended purpose very well.

I love the colours of this scarf. They always add some cheer on a dull, cold day like today.

To further ensure that I don't run to the market to shop for "winter clothes" (a good enough excuse for me to shop, not that I need any!) I'm using some of my summer clothes and piling on the layers.

I bought these boots a few winters back and I'm actually shocked that they've lasted this long. You see I was a bit sceptical when I bought them as I had always bought my boots back home in Kenya and these were the first I got in India.

I bought this sweater in Ngara on my last trip home. I loved the fact that it's 100% wool!! It comes with a belt too but today I opted not to wear it.

OUTFIT: Palazzo Pants and Plaid

Hi!!! I hope your week is coming along great. Mine is not too bad. My left upper and lower jaws have been giving me problems the whole week and my dentist (who also happens to be my dad) says he can't do anything until the swelling and the pain subsides. I could scream!!! This is my second pair of wide-leg trousers or palazzo pants thanks to Mik of Stylish Obsessions (I didn't know they were called that!!). I love these ones just as much as these other ones. I particularly like these in the warmer weather because they are much cooler than wearing denim. This is part of my transitioning for the colder months. I paired these brown wide-leg trousers with a black t-shirt and sweater top. I added a waist-coat last, worn here, to add some interest to my outfit. I had a CAT on this day so I didn’t have peace of mind to think up an elaborate outfit. I accessorized with white and brown bracelets and silver loop earrings. I think I was feeling minimalist on this day. I wore ...

STYLISH AND HEALTHY: Move your Body

**** I'm slowly becoming a health nut for the simple reason that I want to look like my mum when I reach her age. Ok, she's not that old, but she definitely doesn't look as old as she is. Maybe it comes with the kind of profession she chose, she's a teacher, and somebody once told me that teacher's don't age. But no matter what it is, I have decided to keep healthy. This is the first post in this new series on the blog. It'll run every Thursday throughout this month. Last week I posted about my new found efforts to take better care of my health. I have started drinking more water to cleanse my system and keep me hydrated throughout the day. This week's post focuses more on exercising. Something interesting happened to me last weekend. My Achilles Tendon got inflamed and I couldn't walk at all!! I couldn't even put my foot down or exert any amount of pressure on it. I made a trip to the doctor's and she asked me whether I walk aro...

HOW TO: Go Denim Less During the Weekend

I know many people say that during the weekend you should unwind and relax and this is reflected in their choice of dress. You store away your suits and pull out the denim. But what if you are tired of wearing blue jeans every Saturday or Sunday??? You can turn to khaki!! And just because it's the weekend doesn't mean that you throw your style out the window!!!! You can be casual yet stylish!!! I wore this outfit last Saturday when I had a lunch date with one of my very close friends.I've worn this outfit before almost exactly as it is but I wasn't quite pleased with the turn out. So I decided to give it another go and tweak it here and there to see if it will be interesting and I must say I loved it. I paired my army bubble skirt with a white t-shirt and my mustard coloured sweater. Then I added chocolate brown leggings because it was a little chilly in the morning. Adding leggings to a shorter skirt is a great way to transition your summer clothes into winter. ...
