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

PLACES TO VISIT: KARURA FOREST

Hi all!! Travel is one of my passions. I've always wanted to visit new places and learn new things. One of my resolutions this year is to take time out to visit different parts of Kenya. And then I will share the posts with you. My first Places to Visit post is on my trip to Karura Forest. A little history about the forest: Karura Forest is located in Nairobi. Several tributaries of the Nairobi River flow through the forest. The forest is managed by the Kenya Forest Service and when there were threats to use parts of the forest to put up housing, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Wangari Maathai working through her Green Belt Movement, put up a fight to protect the forest and hence one of the city's water catchment areas. And in that way, one of our most important indigenous forests was saved from encroachment. My Experiences from the Trip: I went to Karura before the weather became cold and rainy. Although it was very hot that time of year, once inside the forest,...

FEELS LIKE AUTUMN

Hi all!!! I hope you’re having a better week than I am. I know it’s only Tuesday but I’m feeling so low I just want this week to end. I’m currently reading a book that is forcing me to look at my life and make some changes for the better. I have been struggling with some things the reality of which I have been running away from. But I’ve come to realize that I will have to face this reality sooner or later. I’ve decided to do it now instead of carrying a lot of unnecessary baggage with me for the rest of my youth. Back to today's post. There are times when my creativity is on overdrive. Those are the days when I'll come up with an outfit that leaves me feeling super proud of myself and makes me walk on cloud nine. I wore this to work last Monday and what a mood booster it was!! Have you realized how your mood is instantly uplifted if you are dressed well? This skirt is one of my projects that I categorized in my 4 goals before 2013 . I had said I wanted to get m...

CELEB STYLE WATCH: SOLANGE KNOWLES

Hi all!! Ever since I started knowing anything about fashion and style, I had people I admired, people who I tried to imitate in my dressing. Even now there are some people I consider to be my style icons. I don’t want to imitate their style blindly, but pick out certain aspects that really stand out to me and reflect my personal style. In polka dots One of those people is Solange Knowles. I originally preferred Beyonce’s style but there is something about Solange Knowles that I absolutely love. She has a bold style and isn’t afraid of playing with colour. Solange Knowles trending in stripes I love how she is adventurous with prints, cuts, hairstyles and hair accessories and not forgetting make-up. Solange Knowles on the red carpet Solange Knowles adventurous with prints Images Do you like Solange Knowles’ style?
