Since I started this blog, one thing has been certain, am not a writer. It takes me absolutely forever to come up with the content and when I do, it takes me a centuary to write it down. I get a writers block, but how can that be; am not a writer! Am more of a thinker. I spend hours in my thought, having conversations with oneself. The interesting thing is this happens when am tucked in bed and instead of counting sheep, my brain is clouded with thought! When it comes to picking out an outfit or creating one, a bulb goes on and bang we have a winner. Its like breathing!

I wore the Leopard Print Plunge Bodysuit with the Peplum Midi Skirt and accessorized it with the Metal Gold Fringe Necklace and skull studded clutch. I loved the end result!

 

Thank you passing by.

Hey guys, so today’s outfit got me thinking. Let me start from the top… I showered, brushed my teeth and when it came to choosing my outfit I was swamped for ideas. So I played around with what I had and I must say I was really happy with what I came up with, it made me happy!

Walked out of my room and my nephew, 15 years, was in the dinning room doing some work and the first thing I heard was “Yurk” followed by a giggle. So I asked him what was giving him the mixed emotions and he goes like ” Your outfit, I hate it, it does not look good!” The small brother follows with ” If you go out like that people will laugh at you!”

I got self conscious and quickly ran to the bedroom to change, saw a reflection of myself and I went back to the mirror and took five minutes staring at my miserable self! In the five minutes I was standing there, I had a moment of self reflection, I choose this outfit because I liked the look. What does it matter if others don’t understand sense of fashion. Why am I so quick to please others, rather than sticking to what pleases me? Even if I change, there will be something with the next outfit that someone somewhere wont like, then what?

We are too quick to please others and we forget to do what makes us happy. People are different, meaning we can never please them all, whether its with what we wear, how we cook, how we talk, walk, smile, do make-up, the list is endless. I say, do what YOU love, do what makes YOU happy and forget what others have to say!

 

 

 

 

Hey guys! Today’s outfit is quite simple and easy to hack; pair of tights, ruffled top and a pair of  sexy heels. Am in love with the my new Metal Stiletto heels, they are so cute, but really comfy… so comfy in fact that I did a runner in them just make sure it wasn’t a dream of sorts.

Am one of those people who wear heels and after a few strides am in pain (am a flat foot) not in these shoes! My second favorite is my Tote Bag, the colour is to die for. Anyone who knows me knows that I love colour and am one of those people who will buy anything as long as the colour is right and bright. Life is too short to wear dull colour, this is where my bag comes in just to bring some life to my outfit!

Hey guys, its been a while! Lets just say I was holding my breath for the rain. I was on the verge of dying but it’s here and am so excited :-). Everything is so green and lush, and the best part, no more dust!

My outfit is very simple to hack; all you need is a pair of skinny jeans, a scarf (a large one) and a pair of boots. I know your wondering ‘where is the top’? Well the scarf is the top… I learnt this cool trick – how to turn a simple scarf into a water flow top.

All you need to do is fold the scarf in half, take one end and tie it round your neck and take the bottom end and tie it around your waist. Note: it has to be the high waist so that it forms gatherings in the centre that flow to the bottom. Its that easy!

 

 

 

 

The one question that makes me want to punch myself in the face is ‘Why do you work out, your already thin!’ Thank you for the compliment, but going to the gym is not always about loosing weight.

Gyming has loads of benefits and once you start you’ll begin to see results… its totally addictive! I like to combine a mix of exercises that cover both cardio vascular (healthy heart & lungs) & muscle toning/ definition. That means I combine things like the treadmill and cross trainers with lifting weights.

The cardio vascular part of the workout helps to burn fat and improve circulation while the weights help to build some muscle and give great definition and toning. When I say build muscle, if what your thinking it’s like a bodybuilder with muscles popping out everywhere – its nothing like that! Instead it helps give curves and toning in all the right places!

The truth is, everyone I speak to; friends, family, gym partners… or anyone that is a gym bug like me… is that they all say they feel better, healthier, fresher and more energized with a bit more muscle. It increases your metabolism, gives you more energy in the mornings and generally gives me that feel good factor everyday.

I cant recommend it enough… try it for yourself and feel the benefits!
