One reason why I'm obsessed with Kate Moss?

She's Kate Moss.

Enough Said.

It's a wrap you guys! I'm happy to inform you that this post marks the end of "Kimono Chronicles!" Yay!

I had lots of fun playing dress up, creating different ensembles and basically utilizing pieces in my closet. I'm looking forward to working on another blog series in the future, really enjoyed myself doing this.

I hope all you pretty ladies concur with the statement, "the kimono is a versatile piece and a must-have item in your wardrobe."

Look Six: Fun In The Sun 

Today's look is inspired by a super model, famous for her unique beauty, effortless style and chick-rock allure, yes, it's non other than *cue the drumrolls* KATE MOSS!!!

I was recently drooling over Kate's pictures on the internet and only stopped when Safaricom sent me that annoying cute little message we Kenyans are all too familiar with, notifying me that my data bundle is below 2MB haha! 

Anyway, I happen to come across a picture of Kate wearing an animal print bikini and floral kimono and instantly fell in love with the look, so much so, I decided to recreate it.

As you can see, the kimono serves beautifully as a cover up, you can throw it on when taking a break from swimming to grab lunch or just lounge next to the pool reading a book or magazine.
Next time you're planning to hit the beach or the pool like myself, don't forget to carry your kimono! :-)

Thank you so much for reading! Have an awesome weekend!

First things first, my readers from zeh U.S.A, I hope you had a wonderful time celebrating Independence Day! Did you do anything interesting this year? Do share.

Happy New Month!

Look Five: Boho Chic

The second I was done putting together this outfit, I felt instantly and strongly connected with my inner flower-child, no lying, how we dress does influence how we feel, in a major way.

I've always loved the bohemian looks which incorporate maxis in their ensembles, so I paired up my floral kimono with my good ol' maxi skirt, which I wore here and black crop top which I wore here. My headpiece is a simple D.I.Y,  I created it using two chains and a necklace pendant.

I'm really excited about sharing more of my travel adventures, can't wait to put up pictures of places I've been and words expressing how exactly I felt on every escapade.

I was talking to my friend Martin, over the phone, this past weekend and somewhere along our conversation I told him how I rarely go out at night... I know, I know, the outfit on my last entry says otherwise, because let's face it, it's quite ideal for hitting the club haha! But no.

Actually, a lot of my close friends in campus often get frustrated with me, because I always, either say no to tagging along with them for night outs or back out last minute. To set the record straight, I have absolutely nothing against going out, drinking and socializing, in fact, when I was 18 years old, 19 too, I went clubbing/ turned up a few times, but honestly never liked it very much. What can I say? Night outs just don't appeal to me.

Your thoughts on night outs?

Look Four: Playing With Prints

Lately I've been having this overwhelming desire to just have fun with my look, my image, my persona through clothes. I want to take full advantage of the fact that I'm in my early twenties and experiment with fashion as much as possible without caring about my previous definitions of style

So in spirit of my new found... Desire, I decided to mix prints/patterns, soooo I paired up my floral kimono with my leopard print crop top and stripped skirt!!!

Here's the thing, It's been a minute since I created a mixed print ensemble... If my outfit looks like a hot mess to you, please don't drop me a comment asking, "did you dress in the dark?" ... Thank yoooou! :-)

I'd like to say a special thanks to Charles and James, my two new buddies who helped to take these pictures of me as well as the ones on my previous post. You're awesome you guys! Looking forward to seeing you again soon.

Happy Tuesday friends! I hope the first half of 2015 has been good to you all.

Maybe you've heard of this before? Allow me to bore you by saying it again, if you have ha! I kid! Here goes; how you begin your morning often sets the tone and your attitude for the day. Do the words in bold speak to you? Because, whoa! They resonate with me in a profound way.

In six months I'll be turning 22 and to tell you the truth, I'm freaking out!!! As much as I'm grateful and as much as I feel blessed to be who I am and where I am right now, there's this side of me that is not satisfied and happy with my current situation, I mean, if I was asked to list my accomplishments in life so far, I wouldn't know where to begin, I'd probably go mute or list less than five things, which makes me feel... Not good, not good at all.

I'm sharing this with you because, hey! I can't be the only one going through quarter life crisis haha!
One big lesson I've learnt today is, it's important that I take a look at myself and reevaluate my goals, priorities too, as often as I can in order to achieve the goals I've created and in turn bring the positive change I so much desire closer into my life.
I really do hope I master to put a plan of action into existence on a daily basis, which takes me back to the words in bold.

Look Three: Lady In Red

Whenever I wear this dress I remember Valentines Day and the fact that I'm always "bae-less" on Valentines Day. On a serious note, at what time do people board the bae train? It always leaves me behind! Lol! Despite what it brings to mind, I love this red dress of mine, It always makes a style statement and perks me up.

It’s vital to have a morning routine that sets you up for success, try your best to start each day on a high note, have a trick maybe or habit in your morning routine that sets your day off right. I believe an effective morning routine can transform your outlook and make an epic difference in your life.

Before I end my post, let me leave you with this link to a blog I read almost every morning, right after I wake up. It's one of the most amazing blogs I've ever stumbled upon. Be sure to check it out.

Love & Light
