Two Girls One Skirt

No no!!! I am not giving anybody the directions to my place.

 

Ooooh by the way Howdy y'all.

Your wondering why I am protesting.Well my mail is flooded with requests to come and raid my treasure trove of a closet. Mind you I have mixed and gathered those items through blood ,sweat and fire and y'all just want to walk in and raid the premises. Do such kind of messages warrant police protection??

So yesterday the sun peaked a little in the afternoon and yes I just had to savor in this scarce commodity.In March the girls and I went for The Nairobi Fashion Market and Nelly of Nairobi Fashion Geek  (Check out her blog you will love it) and I spotted this skirt. Yes we both had to have it and guess what the lady selling it had  in only two pieces.

 I fell in love with the band at the waist and the contrast of the colors and what do you know it has this 1950's ball room gown kinder feel that is so Cinderella.

Take 1:
I decided to play down the skirt with a black off shoulder top and added some studs, an envelope clutch and some peeptoe booties to go!
Simple yet tasteful.

Skirt-  House of Hadassah

Take 2:

 Nelly went for a white sleeveless tee with her logo (cool huh) and added on a twist of blue with the heels and a Celine Trapeze bag which I could kill for.

 Elegant and Tasteful as always.

 

This is what happens when two girls find the same skirt!

Awesomeness I tell you.

Thank you Nellz for dropping by your the best.

 Adios!

Snow on Chrome

That has been a very short week!

Who does not like the anticipation in the air on a Friday Morning?

Today my "Snow on .........." outfit posts come to an end.I have had a lot of fun turning my wardrobe upside down for this and it was totally worth it.

I want to say thank you to my little Sissy for agreeing to take the pics.

 

White just like black makes the perfect base to put together the perfect outfit.You can never go wrong with a monochrome combination if your life was dependent on it.

This midi skirt is comfy and stylish and compliments the outfit. This is more of a day look that can turn into a night look by switching the sneaker wedges for killer red or blue heels.

I really hope you had as much fun as I had doing this feature.

My lovely people this is by far my best outfit combo.

I am obsessed with animal prints and the Christian Loubitoni  inspired pointy heels are just killer. I added a twist of the floppy hat to give it an edge. Hope you enjoy this!!!

Snow on Royalty

Good Morning Kenya. Let the Monday/Tuesday blues begin.

My choice today is HAPPINESS even though I am seated on my desk and I have not done my make up but what the hell!!! I have a healthy life and I am tapping into the power of positive thinking.

It has taken a call at 7am and bumping into an old freind to realise that even when you feel that God is giving you the silent treatment and the side eye He still cares a whole bunch.

Thank you Lord for working in the silence.

 Who knew that you can pair up a peplum top and a maxi skirt? This outfit combo was just a by the way as I was fishing for one of my other items. It's really simple and elegant if your meeting him for the second date or for Sunday brunch or even lunch. It screams conservative but also daring enough to put this two statement pieces together.

The gold belt for me is a touch of royalty because guess what I am a princess. Always has been always will be!

Snow on Pink

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!!

Nairobi Fashion Market 2014

My people my people. I have missed you so much walalalalala!!

I have been keeping well, busy with work but as always keeping you peeps in mind. The lovely girls and I were able to attend the Nairobi Fashion Market  last weekend and I must admitted I was not as enthusiastic considering the last one was a total absolute let down.

That is the good thing about not having any exceptions because my oh my!!! did we shop. I got some really cool buys and my fave was this skirt that was sent from heaven. I shall be styling it soon. Many ladies ask me where and how I shop, I wish I had tagged you all along. Nelly of Nairobi's Fashion Geek check out her blog (love this girl) were just screaming from stall after stall.

 This happens to be the best picture of the day. Selfie with a Canon  beat that Mutua Matheka hehehe!!

I am that girl who wears a dress and ngomas ( as my mother calls them!)

 This dress I found at "priced to go"section of Mr. Price in town. Yeah believe it or not it was a steal. I paired it up with converse and hang a small tiny blue sling bag to go. Tip: I love my accessories but this dress had so much going with the floral print so I figured a watch and some dangling earrings and I was good to go "hunting."
Always keep it simple.

 Dress- Mr Price

Converse-  Classy Rubber Shoes

White Watch- Gifted

Blue Sling Bag-Toi Market

I may have found a "girlfriend" for our Cappuccino, isn't she adorable?

Talk about pushing the envelope with this shoe! Its bold and it has spikes. I think it looks lovely on the display.

These guys were selling some expensive jewellery, 100 % Brass lets just say we shall stick to Maasai Market thank you very much.
