Honestly, I am obsessed with this summer trend......STRIPES. Not only are they adorable and chic, they add that bold and daring element to your look. I recently just bought these pants, ofcos I was concerned I might end up looking like a jailbird but the eclectic part of me had to have em. 

I first spotted nautical vertical striped pants on Elle MacPhearson in the fashion star reality show and since then being hoping to get me a perfect pair. They are really dramatic trousers and definitely make a statement. I was concerned about looking like a jailbird but the eclectic side of to me won over so i had to add it in my closet. 

I always find black and white goes well with bold hues so i went for the red cropped jacket and a bold bronze neck piece.

   

                        I kept the accessories to a minimal and added a non competing blue woven purse 

I did a black tank and black booties so as not to compete with the stripes, then
a tangerine hair bow

I find styling jumpsuits to be really tricky, you have to consider your shape and figure, otherwise you find your self in some fashion police cap. This was my outfit for my brother's graduation,I got this butter yellow one in my thrifting escapades....its a lil' baggy which i prefer because it doesn't crinkle around the hip and thigh area.

I particularly loved the collars at the front and back. The back is has a low neck while the front is shorter and peter pan. I threw in the jungle green vest to bring some seriousness to the outfit, but threw it off when it got extra warm

I did the little pops of color by adding a neon pink skinny belt, color blocked earrings and the cobalt blue platforms and matching tweed purse borrowed from my sisters closet.

            I totally love the back it soo party at the back while business at the front.

             I added a tangerine scarf with black polka dots to serve as my hair band.

How are you good people, am hoping you had an awesome weekend. Mine was quite a mixture of sorts but yesterday crowned my weekend up. I met my gals and its never anything short of amaze balls when we get to catch up and all esp since one of us just jetted back into the country from abroad.

I decided to do a lil bit of everything, color,demin, the sweater, nautical stripes.....

I love this tangerine capris.....and I paired em with this turqoise knit sweater that is quite my fave knit oflate

I had a nautical hi-low stripped shirt inside and it was quite chillly in the evening so the sweater came in handy and I totally forgot to take it off as i was taking the pics. I then added a neon pink scarf to add some color and ummmph to it.

And finally my geeks and a janelle monae inspired hairstyle, then my nude and white sling backs. And oh....not forgetting the teal purse.

My sweater is baggy and it looked funny when i tucked it in, but i did not want to belt it up so i added a brooch at the back.

Hi y'all feels like a minute but got down with a bout of flu last week and it was the worst i have ever had. But am fine and am believing you to be fab too.

Well i finally got to do my hair and i went for something very simple that i can play around with.

I got this denim shirt dress in Machakos as i was visiting home a few weeks ago and i could not wait to dress it up. There are countless ways to wear this dress and i will break it down for you as time goes by.

I wore it simply just like a dress, buttoned it up and added a gold collar necklace to spruce up the outfit

I added a pop of color with the tangerine tassel earrings and held my hair up in a side pony and roped it up.

Finished it off with these bronze peep toe ankle boots from chinese laundry with ruffles and carried a brown leather bag

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
