What I wore: Feminine silhouettes

Over the years, I've noticed that my personal style has evolved. Apart from my preference for comfort, I've learned to love more feminine pieces, so much so that I now prefer dresses over trousers. Maybe this has to do with the fact that it is blistering hot right now and just the thought of putting on a constricting pair of jeans at the moment makes me feel like I will melt. Or, I've been influenced, haha! You see, baby girl loves herself a dress or two. So she might have had a hand in getting me to wear more dresses than trousers.
Anyway, my preferred silhouette when it comes to dresses is bodycon or a-line/skater-style. They're super easy to style, in formal or casual shoes, and can be worn for every occasion from the office, to lunch with the girls to a night out. 
This dress checks all those boxes. Although I tend to wear it for smarter functions, I can see myself dressing it down should the need arise. I'd like to say that styling it like a skirt like I did here was intentional but it was cold when I wore this (and took these photos) so the cream coat had to make an appearance.
The black heels were the simplest shoes I had that would allow this dress to shine through. I felt the deep black colour contrasted well with the lighter peach and cream colours of the rest of the outfit.


Thank you for stopping by.

i2s Faves: Grammy Awards 2018

India Arie The informality of the Grammy Awards red carpet gives a much needed break from all the glam looks in the other award shows this time of year. I love all the glam looks, but I also loved pant suits. Anna Kendrick's vintage style suit cemented my desire to add a few suits to my closet this year. Ashanti Chrissy Tiegen & John Legend Anna Kendrick Eve Alessia Cara Janelle Monae Ne-Yo Common Donald Glover Zayn Malik Big Sean And of course, I had to include Beyonce and Jay Z who didn't walk the red carpet but were my all time favourites both at the Grammys and at the Roc Nation brunch.  Photo Credits: 1 , 2 , 3 , 4

CELEB STYLE FRIDAY: Of the Runway and White

Cate Blanchette Hi all!!! Do you sometimes find it impossible to translate a look you saw in a magazine, blog or fashion show into every day life? When I saw this photo of Cate Blanchette wearing this mixed print peplum top by Peter Piloto I was so jazzed by how easy she made it. The top was originally paired with patterned pants on the runway but she wore it with a simple black pencil skirt. For me this is the easiest translation of a runway outfit made to suit your personal taste and needs.  Another celebrity whose outfit has stood out to me in the past week is Angelina Jolie. I love all white although with the red soil in Nairobi I always have second thoughts about putting on an all-white outfit. Wait a minute... I just had a brainwave!! Why not try it on Sunday?? Hahahaha I think I just might. Look out for an outfit post next week!! In other news, I have finally launched my online store (access it here ). It only has a few pieces but others will be added in the co...
