Blogging Challenge Day 3 | My Hopes For The Future


When thinking about my future, I often think of a day when I will have set up a few businesses, invested in different markets, bought a house or two and basically settled down enough not to worry too much about my income. I'm a hardworking person. I don't believe in sitting and waiting for someone to provide for me. I take pride in accomplishing my goals no matter how much effort I had to put into it. Albeit there are times when I struggle to remain positive, to keep to the grind even when results are hard to come by but then I look at my daughter and I remember why I'm doing it all. It's for her, for her future as well as mine.
I want to be a great mum and not a perfect mum. I want to grow with Elly, to help her find her way in this world, to discover who she is and what she is passionate about.

For my immediate future, I just want to get to a more positive place. In the last year or so I have been through quite a lot and I will admit that it drained me of my energy. I'm a fighter, nonetheless. I am determined not to let my past experiences steal my joy or make me a negative person. I know I can overcome any challenges that come my way and with God on my side, I am sure to come out victorious and even more blessed.
All in all, I want life to be filled with love, laughter and personal growth.

Thank you for stopping by.

Miss Elly Turns Six

Happy 2020! I know I'm so late but there's no better way to get back into blogging than by marking my baby's birthday. Baby girl is six today! I've spent the day wondering how to adequately express my surprise at how fast time has flown and the joy this journey has afforded me. Since she came into my life, I've wondered what mark I will make in her life, what lessons I will teach her, and though morbid, what memories I will leave her when I'm gone. I do hope that when she's old enough to read these posts, she will have a glimpse into her mother's passions and get to know me a little better. Now all I need to do is be more consistent here. This is for you Elly. Happy birthday my love. Follow me on:  Facebook ,  Instagram  and Sign up to  Email Notifications here .

AUDREY'S STYLE: Combatted Denim

Hello lovelies!  The weather in Nairobi has been quite cold of late. It's even more evident in the house which tends to be colder than outside. Last week I had to take my sister shopping so I opted for distressed jeans, previously worn here , (I told you they are a new favorite!), a t-shirt and striped sweater. I was feeling quite cold so I added a scarf and combat boots. Outfit Details: Jeans: from my sister Sweater: Gikomba Boots: Ngara Scarf: Gikomba Bag: India Have you tried combat or army boots? How else would you style them? Do share in the comments below, on Facebook , Instagram or Twitter . Happy Thursday and thank you for stopping by! xo Audrey

Maxi Dress + Knotted Denim Shirt

I think it's pretty obvious that I love crop tops. You would think that post-baby I wouldn't want to wear anything that showed off my mid-section because of stretch marks and all but I can't help myself. I have a number of crop tops and I am looking to get a few more. This denim shirt acts as a good cover up over bustier, halter or spaghetti strap dresses and tops. There are times I wear it as a coat but this time I opted to knot it and make a crop top which I wore over this dress. Sandals and my purple feather earrings completed my outfit. Style Tip: If you want to wear a crop top and you don't have a flat, stretch mark-free tummy, pair it with a high-waisted skirt or trousers to show off just a sliver of skin. You can also wear it over a dress like this. Just because your tummy isn't perfect does not mean you shouldn't enjoy certain trends!
