Hello 2021 + What I wore for Christmas

By

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.

STYLISH FIRST LADIES

By
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

By
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,...

FEELS LIKE AUTUMN

By
Hi all!!! I hope you’re having a better week than I am. I know it’s only Tuesday but I’m feeling so low I just want this week to end. I’m currently reading a book that is forcing me to look at my life and make some changes for the better. I have been struggling with some things the reality of which I have been running away from. But I’ve come to realize that I will have to face this reality sooner or later. I’ve decided to do it now instead of carrying a lot of unnecessary baggage with me for the rest of my youth. Back to today's post. There are times when my creativity is on overdrive. Those are the days when I'll come up with an outfit that leaves me feeling super proud of myself and makes me walk on cloud nine. I wore this to work last Monday and what a mood booster it was!! Have you realized how your mood is instantly uplifted if you are dressed well? This skirt is one of my projects that  I categorized in my 4 goals before 2013 . I had said I wanted to get m...
