Hello 2021 + What I wore for Christmas

Happy New Year!

Every year, for quite a few years now, I have vowed to be better here, more consistent like I was when I started this blog. But the struggle has been real, you guys! I've lacked motivation, felt completely uninspired and simply didn't feel like giving this space any energy.

But, as this year rolled in, I felt a jolt of inspiration. Ideas started flooding my mind and I finally got a clear picture of what I could do with this space. It feels good, I tell you! I'd missed my blog.

Christmas was a simple, homey affair, just what I wanted and needed. Granted, I worked harder than I have in a looong time during that short holiday period but it left me feeling content. I got to spend copious amount of time with baby girl, something that I had been craving for months.

My Christmas outfit wasn't pre-planned. I simply picked a dress that I hadn't put on in a while, and one that still fit me well.

This pink maxi is one of my special dresses. I save it for very special occasions. It last made an appearance here on the blog and I will confess that I styled it much the same way save for the jewellery. I did change shoes for these photos though. I wanted to put on my new heels and this was occasion enough for me.

I hope you've had a good year so far. I'm trying to make the most of these strange times, focusing on what is within my control rather than circumstances I can't change.

I wish you a good 2021 and hope to catch up soon!

Thank you for stopping by.

Red Carpet Style: 2016 SAG Awards

Laverne Cox Among my favourite celebrity outfits at this year's SAG Awards, a mix of black and white had to feature. This colour combination continues to be an all time favourite of mine. I also fell in love with ankle-length dresses worn by Giulliana Rancic and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. They provided a much needed break from the floor-length gowns that are commonplace at awards shows. Enjoy the rest of the photos below and do share your favourites in the comments below.

WHAT I WORE: Fashion Trance 2012

Hi all!! Happy new month. I hope you are as excited as I am for the holidays. Last week, I won a pair of VIP tickets from Nancie Mwai to attend the Fashion Trance event held at the Mamba Village, Nairobi. I was so excited to have worn. I think this is the first giveaway I've ever won!!! I went for a practical yet chic look because the weather was so uncertain. I chose my purple denim trousers, a sequin top and wedges. I carried my trench coat because I knew I would be reaching the house very late. Because sequins can be a little too much, I kept my jewellery simple by wearing my ethnic Indian chandelier earrings which I absolutely love, a polka dot bracelet and purple ring. I had wanted to carry a clutch but then I realized that it wouldn't fit all the things I wanted to carry so I opted for this handbag. Oh and I finally got the first edition of my business cards. I'm so excited, I'd been meaning to get them done for so long that on Friday I ...

Style Challenge Day 6: Wear A Bold Print

Hi guys. Phew! Last week was so crazy I couldn't keep up with everything, case in point my 30 day style challenge and weekly video. But I just had to get back to it this week. For day 6, I had to put on a bold print. I don't know if you have noticed but I am not very big on prints. Every time I shop, I automatically go for solid colours and if I pick prints it will inevitably be either stripes or florals. So for this challenge, I opted for a more abstract print. I love the colours of this tunic-style top. The chiffon fabric is light and breezy making it perfect for the warmer weather. I paired it with off-white skinny jeans and some beaded sandals. These sandals are a cross between flip-flops and sliders. I haven't worn such sandals in years so it was nice having a change from my usual shoes. I do believe however, that I need to open up a little to bolder prints and consequently add them to my closet. Outfit Details: Top and sandals: Gift Jeans: Thrifted (G...
