Hi guys, the weather in Mombasa has been so hormonal; cold, hot, hot, cold… so confusing so it’s hard to figure out what to wear. I know you must be wondering; “Mombasa cold, that cant be true!” When I first moved here, I would laugh at guys wearing sweaters or my brother covering himself with a blanky at night, and am there contemplating sleeping on the balcony to get some breeze to cool down and have a good night sleep. But having lived here for 3 years, I do cover myself with a blanky and when it rains I wear a sweater and take hot showers. Ohh and best of all I do enjoy a cup of hot chai every so often 😉

Any way, if we are cold in Mombasa, those of you in other towns must be freezing and the new stock at Tique a Bou has you covered! Check out my current outfit…

Hey, its been a minute, but am back 😉 So much obsession is put into having LBD in your closet, that is now in the past, give your LBD the much needed vacay with this sexy number… the Black Frill Jumpsuit from here. 

The fitting is perfect, plunge neck is a tease and it hugs every curve. Wore it with stiletto, this is great cause it makes your bum pop out. I would have loved to pair it with this pair, but they didn’t have it in my size 🙁 

 

Thank you for stopping by

Hey guys, so for a long time I have been doing my own hair and today I did the unimaginable (to me); wait for it… I braided my own hair! Yes, with my own two hands, two packs of kinky braids, 8 hours of Naija movies down, I was done! This was deserving of a blog post 😉

When it comes to hair Youtube is your friend. There is no tutorial that has not been done, just type on the search bar and let the magic happen. I did crotchet braids and I got my inspiration and tutorial from here. I chose crotchet ‘cause they are quick to do  and also protect (especially my hairline) from the weight of the braids.

Am wearing the Black Lace Top Midi Dress, the Waterfall Sleeveless Coat and Vices-Verso Sandals from Tique a Bou

The holidays are here! Super excited cause I get to have these cheeky pair with me. Sometimes it can be a bit to crazy, but its always the same funny madness;

” Aunty Patty, am full. ” That was just the first bit lol

” Aunty Patty, tell Graddy am not talking to him, he punched John Cenna and I told him to fight undertaker ”

” Aunty Patty, you know that my mum said am allergic to porridge.” But he eats ugali

Having them around, I have to come up with a list of stuff to keep them busy, so today we had a photo shoot and payment was chewing gum ( not to worry, it was sugar free ) This was such a fun session. They insisted on pocketing cause all the cool people pocket whistle taking picture, ohh and the chewing gum had to be chewed in a certain way to up the cool level.

 

Got their outfit from Tique a Bou kids wear ( all kids wear are on sale ) both “soul & Glory” brands. Since we are in Mombasa this was perfect for them. The sun shines like it was given a pay rise and finding something that look cool and comfortable can be a a hustle. Must admit, the print on the Polo shirt and the wash out on the pants is what caught my eye ohh and the fact that the pants come with belt ( their belts keep doing the disappearing act )

As we all know am tiny, like size 6/8 tiny, but am working on that. 5 days a week at the gym to be precise. By next year February I should be a size 10 UK (fingers crossed) and one you will be able to distinguish between my back and front 😉

I have always wanted to feature plus size on the blog and Tique a Bou has a good selection. It so happened my niece has moved to Mombasa, starting a new job and needed outfits for the office. This is one of the 5 outfits she settled for

Long Turquoise Zip Front Blouse

Mesh Insert Floral Skirt

Stiletto Pumps
