Happy new week fashionettes, hope you had a fabulous weekend. It was all about appreciating the women and Happy belated International Women's day to all the ladies out there.
You guys, am obsessed with skirts.....like I can't stop wearing them. If you have seen all my previous posts from this year, its skirts and dresses. One thing I love about them though is that they are super versatile, there are 100 ways of wearing them. Another is that if worn well, they are uber stylish and they bring out the feminity in you.
I got this coral printed one sometime back, i have no idea how long I have had it, but I just happen to fish it out of my closet and boy was I sorry I had not thought of it before. It was fun and flirty, the mini length was just perfect for the hot sun outside and how gorge is the print on it. I decided to do a color block, its been a while since I did a flurry of colors. Since the skirt was a high waist, I went for a burgundy red Victoria secret top
In the spirit of color blocking, I went for mint green capped toes, neon green earrings and an emerald green neck piece. I added the black geeks for an edge to the outfit

My deepest apologies for the long hiatus, I have no excuse for it but no single day has passed without feeling guilty for the silence. Thank you for your emails and requests for my come back to blogging, and my sincere gratitude for checking up on me.
Back to fash talk, the weather has been really unpredictable of late but that could not deter me from doing a very chic summer look....I know I know.....we all love the sunny warm days. My love for lace has not died down one single bit, so I decided to pull a well put together yet flirty outfit with a lace blouse and a pleated mini, with hot pink pointy pumps. What I love about this look is that it can pass for a formal office wear, just add a blazer and you are good to go.
I went for a statement Marc by Marc Jacobs tote bag, which took all the attention so i kept all the other accessories minimal. Oh and am so in love with these cat eye sunglasses, they go well with my long extensions.

Last month we had a bloggers challenge to pull monochrome looks...I took this pictures and completely forgot to post them, my apologies. I went for a very simple look with an off white knit dress and matching pointy toe pumps and clutch bag
I added pops of color with the purple lipstick, citric orange belt with a corsage, which I wore at the back and drop cobalt blue earrings
How more feminine can lace be.....I find it quite girly with a touch of sexy. It was such a huge trend in 2011 but the beauty of it, is that it never goes of style. So, you can imagine my delight when I came across this hi-lo top. With the sun baring down on us lately....It was perfect for this weather.
I paired it up with these distressed jeans for a little edgy feeling,one because of the colliding of the two different textures and two being the jeans was low waist.
I used pops of bold color to add some sassiness to the outfit...This Chloe chain bag is one of my faves because it fits most of stuff and the color is just adorbs.
I complemented it with the scarlett red pumps, love the studs on the side and you would never believe I got 'em for only ksh 100,no bargaining no nothing....well I am still pinching myself in disbelief.
I did different shades of purple with the violet earrings and the bag....then I did a side pony of my hair and added cobalt blue pearls as a hair band

Distressed jeans- Thrifted

Happy easter dolls! Quite a long weekend it was and i loved everybit of it especially since I had to be with family....and actually had the chance to meet my great aunts, uncles, cousins.....t'was awesome. Since it was such an event, I went for a subtle yet respectable look and hence dorned this Kitenge print tuxedo jacket from my designs.
I paired it up with these knife-pleated pallazo pants and my cropped white button up shirt. I accesorised the shirt with a vintage sun shaped brooch, added no more jewellery since the african is busy.
I finished the look with peach pumps and a matching belt. The sunglasses,, i totally love especially coz of the round structure and cat eyed edges.
The animal print detail on the inside of the shoe is adorbs.
Since I am always on a style prowl with my camera, I had to capture these looks below;
My lil' sister was looking all adorable in this batik bubble dress she designed for herself with black suede platforms.
My gorge cousin killed it with this polka dot blue and white dress, a red bold lip, yellow purse and gold flat peeptoes. She looked like she stepped out of a 70's movie scene.
Finally my baby sister in a grey frock, black tights and gladiator sandals

I don't do preppy looks often but this time I decided to go all out and incorporate a bow tie and colored geeks.
This was my Saturday wear for a friend's event and I totally love the pin striped white and blue blazer. The weather was a ishy with the sun getting hot and dull at the same time so it was a struggle to find the perfect lighting for the pictures
I did a lil' bit color blocking with the crazy green button up shirt, green shorts and hot pink pointy pumps
I balanced the craziness with a black patent purse

Stripped blazer- H&M
Green shorts- Banana Republic

Hello my good people.....yey its Furahi day....yea been wishing for this weekend, so much happening and lots to choose from. Been off a lil bit but now am back with this tangerine ensemble.....2012 has been all about that pop of color and i could not resist this bold hue for a sunny day. It is a spring color that still translates to the summer.
This shirt dress is a Bombes international 2012 spring collection and i liked the zip details on it and the boat neck...well which i translated to an off shoulder for a flirty look
I added an electric lemon scarf that i used to cinch the dress and add more color on it,then made a pussy bow at the back
My accessories were also bold....the pointed deep sky blue pumps and the statement bib necklace.
Finished it off with this multicolored weaved purse and a floral ring
