Heeey peeps
Its February we're finally done with the month of broke_ness (pardon my English) or as we Kenyans prefer: NJANUARY, unless you're a millionaire and you do not associate with being broke in January (one day Muthoni, one day...) good for you. But for us common men we are pretty excited, after indulging in festivities forgetting that the new year has months of its own tsk, but February is like the Clark Kent to our Smallville, the Waiyaki to our River Between etc. Yaani our hero.
(BTW have you heard Sia's new album *insert fire emoji*? jamming to it as I rant).
 Buuuut also February comes with its cons: Valentine's day. Its really a touchy touchy topic especially when it comes to the singletons. Look on the bright side my darlings, no high expectations on that perfect night/day and BONUS It'll be on a Sunday, you won't have to leave the house (assuming you won't be working) and see guys holding hands, wearing red (people still do that?) and PDA left, right and centre, cursing that ex you left or left you and you fall into a deep "depression" of fatty foods!! Take heart my brother/sister  its gonna be alright...
I didn't help much? I'm sorry, you have a few days to get a bae. Up your game; I'll be your cheerleader lol

Enough of that let's get on with our post. Today's look is... before I say take 5 seconds to guess whether its a Jumpsuit or nah your time starts now *elevator music* mmmmhhhmm *drum rolls*..... its a..... no its not a jumpsuit its actually a suit (or rather pants and a top). Bet you didn.t expect that or did you? I shall never know.
So with this look I paired the alleged Jumpsuit with a black trench coat, my loves BROGUES, a brown clutch bag (which is actually a sling bag with replaceable straps), a brown belt (which was holding these pants which are super big on my waist) tied into a bow and ombre lips.
For my hair, since its at that awkward bob-length, I decided to just do a crown braid... not my best braid but whatevvs...I tried my best mama *sob*
This look can be worn literally anywhere; to work, a meeting, a date, night out etc.











ps; this outfit is under ksh 1000 excluding the trench... because thrifting is just bomb.

until next time

Heeey people
As we continue with our unpredictable weather for as I write this its freaking hot outside buuuuut the day we did this shoot it was raining cats and more cats (just because: I love cats) tsk. Like really global warming, "why you gotta be so ruuuude" but we caused it so I shouldn't be complaining.

But hope the weather hasn't caught up with you and you're keeping warm or cool depending with the weather in your area/ time I'll put up this post.

This look is what I would typically wear on a cold day. Trenchies are my fav during the cold season coz they're stylish and keep you warm but if the sun happens to come out and you're in your Trench Coat and you don't like carrying it around (some can be really heavy), so you decide to keep it on(like me), my friend welcome to sweat fest. This happened to me once and after all the sweat fest I decided to remove the trench coat *(I coldn't take the heat no more), woi sweat patches everywhere so I just ended up putting it back on. Talk about embarrassment.
Lesson of the day if you're wearing a trench coat and the weather changes unexpectedly be ready for sweat fest (wooo) or carry it oooor you could find someone to help you carry it oooor check the weather forecast for the whole day(there are actual apps that could help you with that... T.G.F.Technology)

Hello fellow hoooomans
How are you all fairing? Hope you're well despite this weird weather patterns we're experiencing I totally blame my complaints about the extreme hot weather of December which was just MUUURDER, praying hard for that little drizzle. Lesson of the day: appreciate the present events just like that Passenger song, I know you know the song I'm talking about *breaks into song* "but you only need  the lights when its burning low, only miss the sun when it starts to snow (well rain in this case). So I should enjoy the cold, I guess. mmmh.

Today's outfit is just a casual chic vintage-ish look. If there's anything I love most is a good long, large white shirt or is it a good large long white shirt? I forget, you can pair it with anything. Brainstorm: I should do such a post (coming soon in a computer near you...).
In this look I paired it with a denim coat, black leggings and my first love: Brogues. Brogues are just the bomb, like brogues should be the national shoe (if at all there's a shoe council) I should start one mmmh. Don't get any ideas Muthoni.
And yooo my fro is back *strokes hair* "missed you baby" but unfortunately not for long because of this weather. Sigh. What to do?





Until next time

Hey people of the web,
who loves swimming as much as I do(I really do) and has boring old, mainstream costumes/kinis that are just meh!! and don't bring boys to the yard? You do? Introducing the new and improved swimwear *cheesy adverts music* *lights, lights* *confetti* Oh LORD I'm so weird, tsk. I'm so sorry.
But heeey
 hope your two weeks of 2016 have been bomb, keeping up with your resolutions as discussed in the previous post lol,with no troubles whatsoever.Well I'm already struggling with "mine": posting regularly, as you can see.
So today I'll be talking swimwear. We all know when it comes to swimming, swimwear is such a big deal especially for us women mainly because you know for guys its just throwing on a short or those speedo things, haah and they're all set. On the other hand we need much more coverage, unless you're a skinny dipper and sometimes buying costumes that you love can be/is expensive and tedious (I should know *sad emoji*).
What if I told you, you can get pretty awesome, locally designed, custom made swimwear, that are authentic, unique and comfy for all body types, because guuuuuurl/ boooooiiiii that's what FOA Swimwear is offering.They have locally designed Swimwear from one piece, bikinis, monokinis, high waist kinis (I don't think they're called that though) but you get the point, no? refer to pictures lol.
The collection I'll be featuring today is from their "Feel Like a Queen" Collection cos you know, we're all queens unless you're a man then.....
what I love most about this collection is their simplicity, African feel to it, stylish and the fact that they are custom made, no more stress of buying tiny or extra large swimsuits. yaaay *fireworks*.
Hope you guys will like the collection as much as I do and if you'd be interested in purchasing some or get more information you can reach FOA at foa.swimwear@gmail.com to order/ inquire.

PS: no you CANNOT wear the head wraps in the water. They're pretty cool though lol.

Until next time
