MID-WEEK REFLECTIONS

Hi all!!
I decided to start monthly feature called Mid-Week Reflections one Wednesday a month, to give you a brief summary of what has been going on in my life. I thought it would be a good way for you, my lovely readers to get to know me on a personal level besides my love for fashion and personal style.

On Blogging
As you might have noticed, I have not been blogging very frequently. 
2013 has started on a different note for me, from what I had hoped. The holiday seemed to end too fast and before I knew it I was back in the office, with no editorial calender and very little inspiration for blogging.
I've tried all the things that I could think of to get my mojo back, but no amount of shopping, Pinterest or blog reading can get me back. I don't know what else to do.

On Life
My New Profile Picture
After going through very many ups and downs last year in my relationship, I finally decided to let go and take the giant leap into the unknown. I was terrified and excited at the same time; terrified because it had been long since I was by myself and excited because I was finally doing something that I had been thinking about for a very long time. And thank goodness I did. So many new things have happened that never would have had I not taken this major step.
I met someone who is amazing, to say the least. He's funny, understanding, has made me love the outdoors and doesn't judge me no matter what I tell him or I do. I feel so blessed to have met him (name withheld because I'm not sure he'll be comfortable with me naming him here).

On Moving On
In these first weeks of 2013, I've learnt so much about myself and about moving on. I now realize that in order to move on from past mistakes and previous relationships, I have to forgive. I've learnt to forgive myself and to forgive others and in this way I have found peace.
I have also learnt to let my no be no and my yes be yes. I came to see that I am too lenient at times, both with myself and with others. It had reached a point where making simple decisions became difficult.

This is a brief highlight of what has been happening in my life. I really hope I can get back to blogging soon.

How has your new year been?

Happy Wednesday

WHAT I WORE: Fashion Trance 2012

 Hi all!! Happy new month. I hope you are as excited as I am for the holidays. Last week, I won a pair of VIP tickets from Nancie Mwai to attend the Fashion Trance event held at the Mamba Village, Nairobi. I was so excited to have worn. I think this is the first giveaway I've ever won!!!  I went for a practical yet chic look because the weather was so uncertain. I chose my purple denim trousers, a sequin top and wedges. I carried my trench coat because I knew I would be reaching the house very late.   Because sequins can be a little too much, I kept my jewellery simple by wearing my ethnic Indian chandelier earrings which I absolutely love, a polka dot bracelet and purple ring. I had wanted to carry a clutch but then I realized that it wouldn't fit all the things I wanted to carry so I opted for this handbag. Oh and I finally got the first edition of my business cards. I'm so excited, I'd been meaning to get them done for so long that on Friday I ...

Style Challenge Day 6: Wear A Bold Print

 Hi guys. Phew! Last week was so crazy I couldn't keep up with everything, case in point my 30 day style challenge and weekly video. But I just had to get back to it this week. For day 6, I had to put on a bold print. I don't know if you have noticed but I am not very big on prints. Every time I shop, I automatically go for solid colours and if I pick prints it will inevitably be either stripes or florals. So for this challenge, I opted for a more abstract print. I love the colours of this tunic-style top. The chiffon fabric is light and breezy making it perfect for the warmer weather. I paired it with off-white skinny jeans and some beaded sandals. These sandals are a cross between flip-flops and sliders. I haven't worn such sandals in years so it was nice having a change from my usual shoes. I do believe however, that I need to open up a little to bolder prints and consequently add them to my closet.  Outfit Details: Top and sandals: Gift Jeans: Thrifted (G...

Red Carpet Style: 2016 SAG Awards

Laverne Cox Among my favourite celebrity outfits at this year's SAG Awards, a mix of black and white had to feature. This colour combination continues to be an all time favourite of mine. I also fell in love with ankle-length dresses worn by Giulliana Rancic and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. They provided a much needed break from the floor-length gowns that are commonplace at awards shows. Enjoy the rest of the photos below and do share your favourites in the comments below.
