Toi Market: Truelove

The reason am giving Sai that "WHAT IS" look is you. Colour, Colour I am bringing in colour and as you can see am taking it slow, no need to over do it. Quick Outfit Budget, I have to give budget because of my blouse, it is HM divided, I got it at Toi for 30bob, HAHA HA:-) The skirt 700ksh Toi, you remember I told you about the guys outside.

The clutch I got along time ago, it is Mango or was it Zara, I forget and the watch which you see me with kila siku is Emporio Armani, I am allowed one Luxury!!!

I took Christine to the JKIA today, she gave me a reason to get out of the house and do outfit 5.

The airport is such a depressing and happy place all wrapped up in one, we were at that bar on Terminal one, the toilets are somewhere there at the back you cant even find them; and right there on the toilet's direction sign "Fly High Avent Salon and Barbers" kwani whats with us kenyans, who goes at the back of the airport next to the toilet to have their hair cut?!!

I also did notice that we are poor huggers, I mean we are just shifty and awkward with the whole hugging business.

My friend from Sweden has not arrived with that weave, so am still waiting.

Ok kwisa stories za outfit, I talked to Suzie Wokabi of Suzie Beauty products!! A very nice lady. First of all, I have heard only good stuff about her beauty line and the fact that she is one of our own is enough! I will meet with some of her people who will walk me through her products, then I will do a test drive then you will know everything from me, but meanwhile if you are looking for make up try her, now that I have already told you I heard good things! Will update as soon as I test.

My Eyes Decieve Me

So have you picked this copy of

I came home the other day and found Angelina had bought a copy, I perused quick and put it back on the table, already am saying how this is fantastic, they have improved, the only thing I had noticed, cover is very colourful and ANND wait for it...... The pictures of parties they attended have gone to the back!!!!!! like all normal magazines and Carol Mandi looked fantastic in that LBD!

Those are good enough reasons to give it a thumbs up, plus Nancie Mwai the blogger I was telling you about (seated left) and Suzie Wokabi (standing right) are on the cover, what more can a woman ask for. Between hao wengine siwajui, I dont watch the news in kiswahili, am jaluo kiswahili si mdomo yangu.

So, Angelina is huko just very quite as I number these great improvements, a disastrous sign on these matters, then she asks me, "have you really read it or at least looked at the pictures PROPERLY, start with the editorial spread" (for those who dont know that is the fashion page)

My friend..

Mpaka I started speaking in a french accent, ze hell iz zhis?!! as in seriously,!! somebody please shoot me!!! and apparently it is a dress. I fainted at the price. Is there any one of you ladies who would buy this batman thing for 62,000KSH, even for halloween?

You have to see this for yourself, my camera is not doing it justice! And that photographer what did they do to this woman?!! (the female saints are weeping)

I went quickly to the recipes page, food has a way of putting me in a good mood, now there they confused me kabisa sijui how have they arranged those recipes, I decide to go back to the front page, the photo story on the the cover's photoshoot....

Would you call this endless?!! options??!! nguo tatu?! na naona the end of the rail?!!! I always thought if you are selling me something, you should atleast try and impress me. Maybe like this, this is not even endless nabado imeshinda hiyo endless ya true love

Even one of the ladies in the photo spread agrees with us, she looked at that endless rail of clothing options and went

Hallo lovies (am using lovies because that is the politically correct term to use on your followers) Now as you may have noticed, I am not keeping time with this. Please forgive.

I went to a meeting yesterday with my brother and I made him take this picture and the bugger did not bother to tell me to suck in my stomach, and how would he know?:-) This look is not close but it is the idea that counts, it is a skirt and a shirt! I paired this with some lovely heels that I got from Bata, will showcase them on the next post.

I used Luron compact powder on my face, which now that the picture is taken looks a tiny tiny bit lighter than my complexion, so I will have to get another shade, try it, its good and very cheap, 100 kenyan money. I used to use Bobbi Brown, but times are hard for those who can afford it, I highly recommend.
I should improve on my pose, this is an embarrassment considering I used to be a fashion model.
Meanwhile my good friend Jules is behind schedule with the makeup/eyebrow tutorial, but she has been busy with work, real work that pays rent! I will upload as soon as she has it.

The top is from my sister and the skirt is from Toi, costed me 700KSH a bit too much but on that day I was too tired to go inside, so I just got from those guys on the outside that have done the selection, they are usually there from the afternoon not mornings.

Ps. On the make up front for those who can afford it, at the Junction on ngong road, there is this make up shop that sells lots of goodies, including Estée Lauder and Mac!! go splurge yourself.

A kenyan fashion blogger that I want to recommend is Nancie Mwai, If I mentioned her on another post here never mind am doing it again, she is good and she is better with testing stuff on the kenyan market, make up, lotions, nail polish, lip balms etc, find her at FashionNoteBook!

For the lovers of every thing kenyan Fashion this is a must attend event, its on the 6th October at the Michael Joseph Center In Nairobi!!! and my good friend Pat Lulu Mbela will be showcasing. Her label is POISA, that mama makes deadly pieces, am going to try and sweet talk her to let me wear anything from her collection, under the pretex of free advertising, more info on the event is here on Facebook, you can follow Lulu on her Tumbrl.

Am throwing in here Lulus outfit and jewelry that STL wore for the cover of True Love magazine for your enjoyment!!!

So this is going to be my next attempt, ohh and before I forget, while we were having a beer with my little brother at Merly place, along ngong road, over there where Fab Guru is, (will let you know about Fabguru in great details about her fabulous shoes and bags in another post) anyway this mama walks
past us with a really nice short do like the one Sai has on this my next look.

Yaani I had to call her and ask her to toboa secret, she runs a salon/barber shop in the same court- Merly place (am not even sure this is the correct name) she said it would cost me 1500Ksh to have that do and it was a weave, I couldn't tell, and synthetic weave at that, just fantastic!! The weave is called Flat Iron and can be found at Ibrahims for 500bob, if you like, go find her!
