Faux leather Catsuit & ankle boots

I love thrifted ( mtumba/second hand) outfits so much because you can easily pick a unique item that you won't spot someone across the street wearing it when you do. My good friend Vosti has an amazing eye for good quality thrifted items.

Celebrating the big wins and lessons I've learnt through blogging

When my friend Mwende told me I was nominated for this years BAKE Awards ( Bloggers Association of Kenya) I was so happy that my blog made the cut. Last year when I decided to come back to blogging after an 11 month hiatus, I made a decision and a promise to myself that I would work hard on my content. A year later I can proudly say that I've done exactly that and its been the best year in my blogging career. I've worked with brands that I could only imagine off.
I'd like to share some lessons I've learnt about content creation.

A Kitenge Affair at International Jazz Day celebrations

I love how we are slowly adapting to dressing up for events. The theme for the event this year was "celebrating African Jazz" and that meant we needed to dress up in African regalia. I wore a kitenge long coat, crop top, green high waist jeans and dark blue sneakers.

We had a winner in the best dressed category, she won a Samsung S10 phone. The lady wore a beautiful yellow dress with a matching sun hat and a kente print bag. She looked lovely. If you want to stand out from the crowd at an event, always wear a bright coloured outfit or have a statement piece that will turn heads!

Event Recap : A bubbly afternoon of Moet & Chandon at the LM Network event held at Tribe hotel

Last weekend I attended the second edition of LM Network event dubbed " Hats and Stilettos"  that took place at the Tribe hotel in Nairobi.The event was filled with members who dressed the part, going by the monochrome theme accessorizing with hats, fascinators  and stilettos.

The event's theme "Your network is your net worth" provided a platform for all the members to interact. We mingled as well as exchanged business cards and contacts. I managed to make new friends whom I believe we'll work together on future projects.

Lotos Inn and Suites : A gem in the heart of Westlands

I've been to Lotos Inn and Suites  before for lunch with my friend Mwende Susu at the rooftop garden restaurant. This time round we went back to experience their hotel rooms as well as the new menu that they recently launched.Lotos Inn and Suites is located in the heart of  Westlands on Mpaka road, a close proximity to Nairobi CBD.

Swiss Lenana Mount hotel, business travellers delight.

I’m on a mission to discovering chic hotels I Nairobi and one such hotel is Swiss Lenana Mount hotel that is located on Ralph Blunche road just a few minutes from the CBD. It took me like 10 minutes to get to the hotel from town.

Fashion & Style at Safaricom Jazz Festival

I spotted a few people who made an effort to dress up for the event and stand out. Personally I feel like this was an outdoor event that people didn't have to be extremely stylish. You just had to be casual smart and comfortable.

A jazzy affair

I vividly remember my dad playing Jazz music on Sunday afternoons back in the 90's when I was young. We would sit quietly and just enjoy the music because it was soothing to listen to. Fast forward to 2019 am so excited about the Safaricom International Jazz Festival. So many thoughts are running through my mind like, what should I wear? What should I expect?
The event is happening on Friday 15th Feb 2019 as well as on Sunday 17th Feb 2019 at Kasarani Stadium. Before we get to, how we should dress up for the event ,allow me to tell you the things that make me excited about this years Safaricom International Jazz Festival event.

How to wear red on Valentines day

On Valentine's day most women like to wear red, my mum being one of them. I've seen her wear an all red outfit on Valentines day, she looked great but there are ways you can tone down an all red outfit. Red is highly significant with Valentines day and its appropriate to have a hint of red on this day set out for love.

2019 Dreams & Ambitions

It would be awkward to wish you a happy new year in February,right? but since am a typical African, if I see someone today whom I last saw last year I would still wish them a happy new year, so here goes,happy new year my amazing readers.

A spectacular hair show at the relaunch of Darling

I attended the relaunch of Darling on Wednesday and the event was memorable and amazing. Darling is one of East Africa's leading hair extensions manufacturer and they relaunched the brand with the introduction of  product range as part of its growth strategy in the region.The brand revamped itself with a new brand look ( from colour red to purple), new hairstyles, superior product benefits and richer colours.

CBA Africa Concours d'Elegance event review

The event was nothing short of spectacular. The CBA Concours d'Elegance is the classiest event on the Kenya motor sports federation calendar and is attended by 10,000 people . This year the 1934 Rolls Royce was the overall winner and it was well deserving, honestly this vintage Rolls Royce stood out from the rest of the classic and vintage cars at the event. The interior was dashing, the bright yellow made the car look boujee.

Societal expectations

Shot on location by Aggrey Ojiambo at Kingfishernest

Last week when the kobikihara challenge was trending, I couldn't help but ask myself so many questions about society expectations. When you are a "celebrity" I can imagine the pressure one feels to portray their lives on social media like they have it all together you know living their lives like its golden, but is it ever that serious to the point that now we take photos from the internet and claim to be our own.

My top picks from Jumia Kenya

I'm always happy to share with you guys places where you can shop for fashionable and trendy items. Well, am introducing this new segment on the blog where I will share with you items that you can easily purchase online from the comfort of your home or office and have them delivered to you. I believe most of you have heard about Jumia Kenya an online store that sells a wide range of items ranging from groceries, electronics to beauty products and do deliveries straight to you wherever you may be, what I love about Jumia is that you have an option for paying for your items in cash or mpesa once they have been delivered.

Just another hustle

Last week I traveled up country for a family function. I was so excited about going on a road trip, my shagz( village) is quite a distance from the city, Migori county to be precise. That is where my mum comes from but am a luo from Kendu Bay my dad' side which is in Homa Bay county.
I was in Migori County and  if you are my friend on Facebook am sure you saw my status update in Luo ( my mother tongue) mentioning the delicacies I intended to eat during my stay.

Kingfisher Nest, Nairobi

A few weeks ago I spent a day at Kingfisher Nest apartment hotel, even though I was just there for a day I felt like I had the full on experience of a guest who had stayed at the hotel for a month. The apartment hotel is located in the heart of Westlands off Mwanzi road and directly opposite the former Ukay center. The Kingfisher nest has 46 units comprising of two bedroom apartments fully furnished. When I entered in to the apartment I immediately fell in love with the interior decor. The furniture, curtains and the carpets are tastefully colour blocked. The unique wall arts in the living room and the bedroom makes the apartment feel so serene and chic and don't get me started on the finishing of the wardrobes and the kitchen cabinets, they are 100% well done.

How and where to thrift shop in Nairobi

I love thrift shopping (buying second hand clothing), anything to save some coins am down for it. Am always on the look out for places where I can get affordable, trendy and quality outfits.Most of the outfits I share on my blog are usually thrifted or tailor made.

How I started my fashion blog and a few tips to get you started

I have been receiving  so many questions on how I started out as a blogger and today I will share with you my journey. I started blogging in 2011/2012 back then I wasn't ready to share my own personal style, I would particularly post pictures of African fashion models wearing African print outfits. I was fascinated that kitenge was actually a trend overseas and there were different trendy ways to custom make them.
