Trends To Try: The Block Heel

Happy new month everybody!
I love a stilletto heel as much as the next girl. They add a level of sophistication to an outfit that no other shoe has been able to. However, there is another heel in town which I have fallen in love with, the block heel. I remember wearing block heels when I was younger and when they began making a comeback, I couldn't resist acquiring a pair.

I love these shoes because they add more height while ensuring that you remain comfortable. There is none of that teetering associated with stilettos. Even the girl who has trouble balancing on skinny heels can wear block heels without much trouble.
Also known as chunky heels, block heels come in a wide range of colours, prints and styles i.e. sandals, closed toe and even boots. Block heels can be paired with anything from a dress to jeans. You can dress them up for the office or down for lunch with the girls.
Below I have collected a few outfit inspirations with block heels as their centre.

STYLISH FIRST LADIES

Hi all! Today we Kenyans will get out fourth President. As much as there's pomp and fanfare, I'm more interested in seeing our new First Lady's style. On Sunday I read an article in the Daily Nation about First Ladies and style by Carol Odero and it got me thinking. I therefore decided to write a post about First Ladies around the globe and their style. Chinese First Lady, Peng Liyuan She has been pegged as First Lady to watch. Her style is more out there than her predecessors. Image She has been known to prefer outfits made in China. Image Cameroon First Lady, Chantal Biya As little as I know about her, I love that her style is daring. She's not the typical First Lady in understated outfits. And her hair...enough said! Image Image Image Samantha Cameron Mrs Cameron wears a lot of blue, but who's complaining? She looks fab. I love the simplicity of her outfits and the subtle prints. Image Image With style icon, Mi...

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,...

WHAT I WORE: ELECTRIC BLUE LEATHER

Hi all!! This post should have gone up a while back, but my disorganization will be the death of me. I have had a deep seated love for leather for ages . But I am unable to buy anything that is imitation leather. So getting a leather jacket, pants, skirt or dress has been a very slow process. And lo and behold, one Friday I accompanied mum to the market and there was a lady selling everything leather for KSh. 50 only. I was low on cash at that time but I couldn't resist. I found this skirt and a purple one and I begged mum to buy them. Voila! My electric blue, pencil leather skirt. I wore it with a white loose-fitting blouse and tan wedges (although I later changed into flats) to Church one Sunday. Outfit Details: Leather Skirt: Kangemi Market, Nairobi Blouse: Bus Station, Nairobi Shoes: Ngara, Nairobi Handbag: Gift I'm still unsure of the length of this skirt. I think I'll cut it and change it from mid-length...
