In my Mummy's shoes!




Hey dolls! How's your Wednesday going? I saw this shoes and had to buy them since they reminded me of my mothers heels. My mum really loved chunky heels and I think she had ony two pairs of stilletos. So with all that nostalgia, I bought these beautiful and extremely comfortable shoes. I remember my friend Kaiza posting a note on FB about her mothers heels. That was me! I remember stuffing newspapers as I wore my mums heels so they could fit! Lol!

This was Kaiza's beautiful note:

As a little girl it was all i did,
click clock,clickidy clock,
up and down the stairs i went,
all over the house i keep,
excited,delighted and my first pair of heels,
my mother's pair of heels.

A little girl still,
and barely do i fit,
her pretty shoes i want to keep,
her stance,her confidence in these,
when can i be like her i used to think,
up and down in her heels,
click clock,clickidy clock she went,
and i still couldn't get into
my mother's heels.

Then a little girl again?
trying my best to not be this again,
grown up, an almost fit,
her shoes though not so sleek,
the popular boy,the school clique,
these most assuredly i seek!!
her i constantly forget,
her every nip,her every tack i will not forgive,
She feeling so lost and bleak,
one wrong move and her beloved she most certainly will not keep,
ohh sigh indeed in
my mother's heels!

Now time cannot keep,
and i find myself a little girl still,
and her shoes that i found not so sleek,
i seem to no longer fit,
larger and greater than life are her feet,
how can i ever hope to fit?
all the shouting and fighting,
will i ever be like this?
the example she almost thought she could not keep,
is now the very promise i hope to keep,
will i ever be like her i seek?
ohh i wonder and hope indeed in these,
my mother's heels!!

Let me catch my breath!!




Hey guys,

Hope you had a lovely weekend. I took this pics early in the morning and it felt so nice and fresh before going to sit in a polluted jam for like 2 hours! I have had this flared shorts for ages and I just came across it and was excited to wear them! Do you have things in your closet that you have not worn for ages? Why not re-invent them and make use of them?

Story Moja Hay Festival!

My girls and I went for the Story Moja Hay Festival this past weekend. I can't fathom why I had never attended this great forum. Any avid book reader (irrespective of preferred genre), would love this event. Basically, the event runs for a couple of days with different discussions occurring concurrently. The festival also has a children's session which promotes the development of a reading culture from a tender age, which I strongly advocate for.
We went for a couple of the sessions, but I must say that the session Tomorrow will come, hosted by Maina Kiai on efforts to engage the Kenyan population on political and social accountability was my favorite. I left feeling so rejuvenated!






Giles Foden talks to John Sibi-Okumu about his novels Zanzibar, Ladysmith and his award winning Idi Amin novel, The Last King of Scotland.

DIY Bag from Ordinary to CHIC!




This was my DIY project at home. My bag is practically falling to pieces and I really love the studs on the sides, so I decided to move them to another bag...






And yet again, I got another surprise in my fridge from my boys Shaun & Dan.. Thank you guys :) This is my third birthday cake this year!!



Hey Stylish People,
This was me earlier today, and yes I actually did have car problems, so I had to drive it back home then catch a mat to work! So much for my early start today! Anyway, I will definitely make the most of the afternoon. Have a great weekend!
