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.

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.

I enjoy online shopping and once in a while I buy my outfits from various international online stores. One of the reasons I shop online is because I get to buy unique and affordable items. One of the online stores am currently crushing on is SheIn they have quite unique clothes which you don't have to break the bank to buy. They have quite a variety of trendy items which include:

How to Style tappered pants

Tapered pants fit comfortably at the thigh and taper narrower to the ankle. The difference between tapered pants and skinny pants, of course, is the fit. Skinny is tight and tapered are loose fitting. They  are comfortable, stylish and somehow brings out a sophisticated kind of look to the individual wearing it.

I paired my tapered pants with a cream coloured  bodysuit and I threw on a sleeveless chiffon coat with nude Sandal heels. This is an outfit I would wear to a meeting, lunch date and definitely wear it to an evening fashion event. I just love how its effortless and classy.

Laced

Happy Monday darlings!

One thing I always know for a fact is that you can never go wrong with the colour black. I like lace tops but if I were to choose between a white one and a black one, I would definitely go for the black one because its easier to style and also pairing it up is quite simple. You can either go for a bright coloured pair of pants or skirt and still look stylish.This look can perfectly pass for a day to night look as well.
