"We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing."

There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.
We have so many people walking around who are dead and don’t even know it!

There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old.If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change.
Have No Regrets.

I think this monochrome dress is one of my best buys in my wardrobe.

I can wear it up with a nice boyfriend jacket or wear it down with this denim jacket. I added a touch of green to make the outfit pop a whole lot! Chunky heels are so comfy ladies you can walk a mile in them.

I did not expect them Bantu knots to last this long but it's Friday and they are still going strong.

Vazi Zuri

My Goodness (insert Jeff Koinange Voice) what a weekend!

Let me go back to where it all started. Two years ago (wow it’s been two years since Law School) I meet the lovely savvy Twilli at Kenya School of Law. We became fast friends by virtue of the fact that we used to sit right at the back of the class room as we giggled at everyone’s fashion blunders ,gossiped and ogled at the not so many hot boys….…..You wonder how we passed the bar exams.

Well Twilli invited me to her official opening of her fashion boutique that has had quite some presence online thus she was launching its physical location.

Funny huh? Lawyers are known to have boring style, an euro-centric fashion sense and they do not feature anywhere in the fashion world. This girl, my friend has quite something going with her new enterprise; Vazi Zuri...even the logo above speaks volumes. She is the epitome of a beautiful damsel with everything put together- from her hair, to her make-up and down to what she wears.

I love the coining of the name Vazi Zuri too though my friend tells me it has a little something to do with her daughter. So there I was rocking my lovely bantu knots on a lovely and sunny Nairobi day making my way into Langata to my friends boutique- this girl has really gone all out…..I was impressed….from lovely designer handbags, to signature lotions, to signature body creams to designer perfumes, signature pocketbac hand sanitizers, an amazing collection of high street fashion dresses, beautiful jewelry and she tells me she has some amazing wear-to-work outfits and suits arriving next week.

And they kept on coming!!!

she is simply catering to every woman's needs everyday and everywhere.

To buy it or not to buy it???

Twilli looking Fab after getting her make up done.

The highlight for me was the make-up artist she invited, her name is Rose and after 7years of working with make-up you can see she knows her way around it and loves what she does.Its amazing what a total make over can do to your self esteem.... try it ladies you shall not regret.
