CHERRY BLOSSOMS…

 Happy Monday! Courtney Kerr teamed up with Macy’s for a first ever Cherry Blossoms Fashion Show. This fashion show had fresh looks for the spring time. This season is all about pairing contemporary looks with light free fabrics. I learned it’s not necessarily being trendy, but wearing what fits your style this spring season. By trying trendy looks make sure that you feel comfortable and it can be worn in many different style combos!!! 

It’s great, you can still wear your fall wardrobe staples from fall into spring!!! That’s right, choose items like a moto jacket which works for you during the spring season, but try adding one of these non-moto jackets to your layering. This spring mix and match your maxi dresses and skirt with a perfect boxy cropped top. How about a leather one or a light weight crop top pairing it with a fit-and-flare or body-con dress, tailored trousers, office-ready skirts, and your go-to boyfriend jeans!?!?
 Have fun with choosing fun, flirty, and fitted dresses and adding many textures to create trendy and cool silhouettes.

 I had a great time and meet some fellow blogger at the event check out Samuya over at Myriad Musing and Elena over at DCInStyle.

I got to meet Courtney Kerr, I just realized we were both wearing plaid!

AFRICAN QUEEN NYC 3 OF 4…..

WHAT I WORE: 
Gap: Top 
APAR: Skirt & Clutch
Vintage: Jacket 
StyleScan: Necklace
 JustFab: Shoes 
Revlon: Eye & Lip Make-up
Hello Happy Wednesday! Here’s some more pictures from my NYC trip! I love NYC this city has the best spots to take some great shots!
Being Kenyan has allowed to view culture and fashion with different eyes. I would remember my mom wearing these puffy African sleeve dresses and thinking “she looks ridiculous”. As I have gotten older, I appreciate my culture especially the food and fashion. 
It’s ironic, I’m in the process of making an modern African line called APAR. Which means 10 in my Luo tribe, As women we wear things that makes us feel good like a 10. In coming up with the name was easy, but making garments that are wearable is another. I decided to research different trends that could be translated into wearable African apparel. I wanted to create this line that is true to my culture and heart. I hope that as I grow as a fashion designer you can love this brand as much as I do! 
When I went to NYC, I made this A-line African skirt from my APAR line with a matching clutch bag!  This skirt is all about the modern day women, but a cool yet lady-like aesthetic. Definitely, check out more updates on my Etsy shop here
I’m so excited STYLESCAN has decided to give all my friends, family, and readers a 15% off anything on STYLESCAN, go now to shop on this amazing trendy brand here
Upon check out, put in this discount code FOM15, enjoy shopping!!!
See you!

Even for myself, don’t call me crazy I was browsing the wedding rings and their quite reasonable… Brilliant Earth is about commitment of change “exceptional jewelry that our customers can feel good about wearing”.  Each jewelry is environmental safe & quality packaged jewelry designs. This company is about giving back to the community by working together with advocacy groups to promote conflict of diamonds and environmental concerns.
