Hallo fashionistas, who else is obsessed with strappy sandals like I am. Well this time round I decided to wear my denim with sandals to add that elegant look to the outfit since it was super casual. This was my Saturday outfit I wore on a day out bowling with my buddies.I  went for a simple denim sleeveless shirt and added distressed jeans on to add the playful edgy look.

             I accessorized with a gold butterfly bib necklace, pink studs and a navy chainbag

                                                DAY 1
My weekend was quite a flurry of activities. On Saturday my bestie decided to drag me to the National Museums, I was reluctant at first since I had planned to sleep in but finally decided oh what the hell.....and it happened to be one of the best decisions ever....we had so much fun, it was just amazeballs.

Nairobi has been super cold lately and in the museum it was worse...freezing....so I went for a tiny black dress with a polka trench coat on top with the hope of catching a few drinks later with my buddies....well it didn't happen....was sooo tired to care. The yellow pumps were so comfortable and the heel was ideal for walking around.

I loved the pictures in gray scale....it sought of went along with the museum ancient theme

 My girls...loved their outfits especially the red dress, the pink shoe and the fuschia blouse with the belt.

                       Notice the faux fur scarf match with the lion...

                                                  DAY 2
On Sunday, we had planned to go visit this children's home in Ruiru....we always go back to check how they doing and just spend time with these kids...they always just amazing and we always have a ball everytime we go there.

        I wore very simple but with pops of color and boyfriend flatties with straps

We did a painting for the kids with everyone doing a signature thing....I went for a heart

                                   Yvonne....a lil very sweet angel

That's it for now.....my weekend in pictures....thanks for visiting!

Happy Friday my good people......mmmh the smell of the weekend just drifting and I could not be happier....you know what am talking about! Lets talk fashion....right?
This is an outfit I wore last friday on my way to run a few errands....I have wrote about this maxi before in my blog archives,. so this time I decided to add a touch of boho and a lil' glam to it and brought in the cropped top with the pop of color and the accessories. I love how such a tops can change an outfit in a snap...I wore mine off shoulder for that peekaboo effect on the maxi.

       I had a thought to cinch it up at the waist but decided against it at the last minute.

I held my hair up in a high pony to show off this gorge emerald green drop earrings and added this cobalt blue bib necklace.

      Finished it off with a bold red lip, black booties and this magenta satchel bag!

There you have my stripes obcession, Lemmie know what you think of it.....

Chez Maureen!

Black and white is one of the biggest 2013 tend and I find myself subconsciously buying lots of it in my closet, so I fully intend to indulge in this trend fully. I came across this stripped maxi in my thrifting endeavours sometime in december and I knew exactly how I wanted to wear it. I believe every girl should have atleast one maxi in their wardrobe especially as a summer staple.Originally the dress was flared so i decided to  alter it a little bit at the bottom half and make it more pencil shaped.I went for the horizontal stripes as they tend to elongate my curves as am quite petite. 

I went for the horizontal stripes as they enhance my curves as am quite petite. A  fitting maxi  is better than a tight hugging maxi as it may look tacky if care is not taken.

I went for a more demure and edgy feeling to dress it, the denim cropped jacket was to give it a more relaxed look. The black ankle brogues are just my favourite go to flatties. Well, most of my friends tend to find them quite ugly but i love the way they can change your look in a snap and i find them to be very stylish, vintagey and unique.

I went for pops of color in styling my hair to bring some ooommmph to the outfit. I did a combo of two scarves, orange with black polka and an electric magenta one. The accessories were minimal, a red and bronze pedant neckpiece and butter yellow loops.

                  The bag is a vintage from my mums 80's closet and am currently in love with these  avatars
