The Turban Child Is Born

Style Evolution: Miley Cyrus

 Isn't it strange how quick celebrities seem to grow up? Ashamed to admit it but I was such a Hannah Montana fan, I watched while pretending to keep my little cousins company but the truth is, I just loved Miley.

Great Minds & New Friends- #ZedCreatives Brunch II

It’s almost the end of April and what a lovely month it’s been! My kid brother, niece and aunty all had their birthdays this month which I sadly couldn’t be there for but I’m so blessed to have them as a part of my life.

Apart from that one of the highlights of April was that I finally managed to show up for the C1rca1964 Zed Creatives Brunch II, last weekend at Pzazz Restaurant. The brunch is just a fun get together event with other creative young Zambians over a meal. I missed the first one so I swore not to miss this one and I’m glad I went because I met lots of lovely people from a rap artist, stylist, cartoonist and skin care guru, it was a lovely mix of young creative Zambians.

I have to mention though that I experienced a case of bad service at Pzazz Restaurant, an issue of bad potatoes and a rude waiter but otherwise it was a lovely event and I will let the pictures do the talking! Forgot to get a full outfit picture but I wore and H&M bodycon dress and a pair of colour-block wedges, will try to take a full pic later!

Shout-out to all my lovely new followers, thanks for the love!

In This Life, Your Heart Will Break

 Peplum Dress: Fashion Express

Pink Bow Belt: Glamourous Fashions

Blue Kitten heels: Mr. Price

Because I’m wearing blue, thought I would do a bit of a blue post. This is an insert from my diary a few months ago:

Here is the truth, in this life your heart will break, maybe once, sometimes twice and if you're unlucky you might even get a third. But that doesn't matter, yes, you will feel like dying each and every time but you won't.

You will get better, you will move on, you just have to get up and decide not to let any sorry bastard write your ending. Because much as you don't have control over who hurts you, you have all the power not to hurt yourself, and you get to decide how your story ends.

Thank you for reading xoxo

In Her Closet: Solange Knowles

I have had the biggest style crush on Solange Knowles for the longest time. I love Beyoncé  and it can’t be denied that she is pretty stylish too but while everybody had their eyes on Beyoncé, I always had a thing for Solange.

For me it’s about how individual her style is, she puts the craziest prints, colours and designs together and they just seem to magically work. Everybody claims to have their own style but sometimes we all dress so alike that it gets hard to distinguish our individualism from the next person but when it comes to Solange, it’s all hers. She owns it.

Decided to try out this bright coloured outfit Solange rocked a while back in NYC. I had an orange blazer (I have a thing for orange blazers) and a yellow dress so it wasn’t exactly rocket science. I didn’t wanna go all the way and wear my yellow heels as I was going to work and didn’t want to show up looking like a box of sunshine so I toned it down with some nude and leopard print heels I got this month from Fashion Express (they have great shoes!)

Never Too Old For A New Dream

Last month was my birthday and for once I felt super old. I mean I still feel the same but just hearing my age made me cringe. (No, I'm not telling!lol)

I guess what's really bothering me is that I always thought that at this age I would have it all figured out but I don't. I really thought that after university, I would get a super good paying job (probably be famous too...lol), I'd be ready to settle down and life would basically be sorted out. But none of that seems to even be peeking on the horizon. Instead, life has thrown me curveballs and i feel stuck and not moving forward. I actually feel like I'm moving backwards.

Today I came across this quote that just gave me life! "You're never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." This is so true! I'm not done dreaming yet, I don't care if I don't even achieve all the things I set for myself, just having a dream to work towards gives me hope. I will dream even the impossible! I will dream until they carry me out in a box!

Hope you like my denim on denim look which I tried a week ago. I love the denim shirt and I'm sure I've worn it a dozen times since I got it. The print just makes it stand out. You can get it from Jet, it's in the guys section but hey, who cares?

Thank you for reading!
