What I Wore | Pink and Nude

Happy new month and welcome back to the blog! I can't help but smile as I write these words down. I'm as happy as a child who loves cake! I've missed my little piece of online real estate. I will put up a life update post later on to explain my absence but in the meantime, let's get on with what this blog was originally about, fashion.
I stumbled upon this dress and fell completely in love with the colour. It's a bridesmaids dress so it's a little fancy but I absolutely love it. As you might know if you're an oldie but goodie here on the blog, I like versatility whenever I buy anything. I like being able to wear something in many different ways; to get good value for my money no matter how little I spent on the item. And that didn't stop with this dress. I am eagerly waiting to style it in different ways and of course share it with you.
For style option number one, I opted to pair it with nudes so as to allow the hot pink colour to really stand out. I added simple jewellery in the form of hoop earrings mostly because my jewellery game isn't as big as I imagine it should be.
Oh and did I mention the dress has pockets! (Insert silly grin)

HOW TO: WEAR ANKLE BOOTS

Hello lovelies! Happy new month! Boots are an essential item of any ladies' wardrobe. To add some variety from the typical calf-length or knee-high boots,why not invest in a pair of ankle boots? They are stylish and just as versatile as regular boots. Below I have styled ankle boots in three ways. Ankle Boots 3 Ways 1. Day-time For a chic daytime look, pair your ankle boots with an a skirt, lace top and leather jacket. Switch the leather jacket for a blazer to make this outfit appropriate for the office. Add stockings for extra warmth. I chose stockings with extra detailing on the leg to keep the outfit interesting. 2. Casual Wear For a day spent running errands or when you want to dress down, pair the same ankle boots with distressed boyfriend jeans, a coat and fedora. Use a leather belt to cinch your coat around your waist. Switch the high heel booties for flat ones, if you prefer. 3. Night-Out Nights can get quite chilly and inst...

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.

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,...
