Peachy and Goldy

There is some so surreal about a black and white photo.

Trading in color who bare imagination of how it would look with color takes the mind to a whole new level.  I fell in love with how nothing but lines and curves of course define this picture.

Hello everybody.

As you have noticed we have moved from the outdoor picture setting and into the studio. It was about time I got myself a professional photo shoot and after the shoot I have some new found respect for models and photographers. Yes I am keeping my day job. Thank you very much!

 I got these pants a while ago and they have been hanging in my closet for months. This is a very simple look. I threw on a gold sweater and some nude pumps and we have a winner on the white background.

I call these my "feel good colors"  because they are effortless to put together when you don't really want to stand out of the crowd and also you don't want to be swallowed by the crowd.

  They also help you get most out of your wardrobe when you feel the need to get something new yet you have something "new" waiting to be dressed

Let's just skip  to the part where I apologize for going M.I.A and say that life handed me lemons in form of a crazy  job and I reached for the Tequila and salt and now I am nursing a serious hangie but almost out of it.

Happy Easter people!!

I am back maybe with a bang and I will let you be the judge of that.

I love the color white. (Yes for the record I will still follow a guy dressed in all white down the street)

I got this white peplum top awhile ago and as I was going through "our wardrobes" read (My wardrobe and my sisters, did I say thank God from sisters), I digress, I was like I think I should do a little something with this snow white top.So for the next couple of days I shall show you  how to werk this top into different looks.

On to my first look!

 As I was picking out this outfit, I figured a little matchy matchy would not hurt anybody. Hence the pink belt and the pink skirt and the nude bag and nude shoe.

If you have noticed I am sort of a functional shopper. Yeah I splurge once in awhile but of late, I have been doing more functional pieces that can mix and match with diverse things in "our wardrobes."

Thoughts?

Be back tomorrow folks!!

Its me again blabbing about God knows what, but hey y'all still here reading this so it must mean what? "I am awesome!!!"

I am most definitely my number one fan. I learnt this from an early age that you gotta pat yourself on the back every so often and tell yourself that your super awesome.

I call it "The power of speaking life,good health and prosperity" into your own life.

Sometimes people are too busy with the hustle and bustle of life to stop and compliment you on whatever your doing but since you know how far you have come you just need to do it for youself.

It does pretty good number on your self esteem and gives you life juice to keep going.

I found this stripped top while I was cleaning out my closet. (sale will be going up soon). 

Y'all know I am a sucker for black and white. I am potential rehab material when it comes to monochrome, It is bad. 

Well I paired it up with with white pants. White happens to be one of my favorite colors. It's so bad that I can follow a guy down the street if he is dressed in all white, you know the ( white muscle shirt and white line pants and white loafers kind or the Tall "Abdi" in a  Sparkling white kanzu ) yeah those ones. 

I wore a thrifted yellow blazer which I folded the long sleeves of the top over the blazer's arms to make sort of a boyfriend jacket look and threw on the nude bag and shoes to finish the simple look.

Of rainy days

It may be Friday but a somber one at it. African has lost a true icon a selfless man who gave up his formidable youth for his nation South Africa. 

Rest in Peace Nelson Mandela your spirit lives on.

Well I must say the week has been rather busy as we are trying to wind up matters 2013
                                                            and move on to 2014. 

Today I have been featured on the Aura by Annesosophie Achera  Law meets Style and I am truly humble. It was a really nice piece so have a read.

 It's been rather cold and nothing like a maxi to take it all away. I have worn this skirt here and this time I decided to pair it up with a simple black polo neck, my brown belt and some nude heels.
