Orange crush




Hey how is your weekend so far? I have spent most of mine in doors with a few outings with friends. The weather has been absolutely horrible this week in Oxford with rain daily from morning to evening. So to cheer myself up, i decided to wear orange for dinner and drinks with my friends. I am wearing an orange blazer accessorised with an orange patterned scarf to brighten up my whole look of simple white t-shirt, jeans and boots.
Tell me what you think of my look this week. Thanks for all the support I am getting with my blog so far. Am really excited about it and really enjoying the journey so far.

Shades of green with a drop of orange





Hey how is your week so far? Its been really rainy in Oxford this week. I am now starting to get into my new blog. My amazing friends Ify and Oyinda have been at me for months to start so i have finally found the courage and time to do it. Am really excited about it and hope to get challenged about my style by all of you. Today I am in lots of green and you will soon realise that green is my favourite colour and I incorporate in a lot of my daily wear. Here am wearing a beautiful mint green woollen coat i got from the flee market, with matching accessories, the beads are from www.kazuribeads.com, the bag and top are from Zara, jeggings i got from Dorothy Perkins and the cute fabric shoes with an orange bow are from Primark. 
Thanks for viewing my profile. Tell me what you think of my style today.

Starting up

This is my first blogging day. I have never really thought of starting a blog and am not sure how this will go but am hoping to make the best of it. This will be a fashion blog. My friends tell me i have great sense of style and it would be a shame not share that. I guess that i my inspiration for starting this.

A little about me, I am Kenyan currently studying at University of Oxford. This has been my first year abroad. its been quite an interesting journey with many highs and some lows (damn british weather and those short winter days)

I am hope to share my fashion journey and my afro growing journey with you
