MID-WEEK REFLECTIONS: February Edition


Hello lovelies!
It seems like just the other day I was writing the January edition of Mid-Week Reflections. I like to use this post to talk about key things that have taken place in my life and here on the blog, all in an effort to make this blog as personal as possible.

On Life
The short month of February has practically flown by. A good part of it has been spent carrying out various preparations for the baby's arrival both psychologically and materially. Getting baby things is so much fun and I can't help but marvel at how small we are when we begin our lives. The psychological preparation has been a bit daunting. One might argue that I have had nine months to be mentally prepared but I'm not sure there is any amount of time that would prepare one for such a momentous occasion in one's life. But with the help of God, family and friends, I am certain that the fear of the unknown will be conquered.

On The Blog
This month, I have tried my best to put up posts as often as possible, three days out of five is not so bad. My excuse for not posting on all five days can be narrowed down to lack of planning ahead. I usually plan a week's worth of posts over the weekend and I even write them down in my diary. The biggest challenge I am currently facing is actually putting up said posts on the day they have been scheduled. I could put the blame on Kenya Power (yeah, I have succumbed) but I feel that with a little more planning I could beat them at their own darkening ways.

On Business
As much as I would love to run my online shop fulltime, I am unable to due to these last few months of pregnancy and all that comes with it (exhaustion being paramount!). I intend to do more extensive online marketing, something I am currently working on. At the moment, I am mostly based on my Facebook Page where I post photos of my stock (maternity clothes, official clothes, perfume and jewellery) and take orders. Be sure to stop by:)

Thank you for stopping by.

Happy Wednesday.

MONDAY STYLIST: 3 WAYS TO WEAR BLACK TROUSERS

Hi!!! I hope you had a fabulous weekend. I spent mine catching up with my chores and my reading which has been piling. I also managed to do diys which I hope to complete in the course of the week. I didn’t quite manage to do everything I had hoped but at least I accomplished something. Black trousers are a wardrobe must-have in any girls’ wardrobe. They can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. In today’s Monday Stylist, I want to give you three simple ways to dress up your black trousers for 3 different occasions. 1. Working Girl For this look I chose a sheer top with Peter-Pan collar, a cobalt blue tuxedo jacket and black heels and handbag. Depending on your office dress-code, you can pull out some bright colours to cheer you up (and your colleagues as well). Pairing red and blue is a good way to do this. Add stud-earrings for a simple yet chic office look. 2. Night Out When on a night out, you can opt to pull out all the stops. I went for a

Fashion trends I'm loving in 2021

I fell in love with fashion as a child and this blog became my outlet. I love experimenting with clothes, trends, fabrics and over the years, I have settled in my preferred style preferences and these play a big role in my outfit and purchasing choices. This, however, doesn't mean that I am averse to fashion trends. I look to them for ideas on how to update my wardrobe and style my pieces anew. While I don't buy heavily into trendy pieces, I will consider and purchase pieces that I know I love and can wear for a few years, even after the trend has passed. That being said, with 2020/2021 bringing change in how we consume fashion - we spent a year cooped up indoors and hence had no need for fancy clothes and shoes - I must say that there are some trends that I have fallen in love with and can hardly wait to get my hands on. Let's get into it. (Photo: Pinterest/ Style Pantry ) 1. Wide-leg trousers I love slim fit trousers and skinny jeans. I love how versatile they are and I h
