Back to Basics
Hellloooo!! ....and Happy New Year!!
I have also lined up quite a few goals in work, dance,experience and personal development.
Work - In the next months I want to get a hold of things in the new department I work in now. I will improve my report writing skills, proposal writing skills and have more client engagement. I will also lock down how to roll out the project I have been working on for a while now and work to roll out another of its kind (which will hopefully be an easier task given experience thus far).
Dance - Engage in more dance. Work on two dance projects, get my intermediate ballet exam passed and passed well; apply for my teaching course and get my teaching hours.
Experience - Save money to travel with the bf beyond borders! Last year we had the best trip to Mombasa ever; that was probably the most rewarding trip ever! Paid for our flights and decent hotel accommodation, got to eat out at some great restaurants, tour old town and the market and go jet skiing!!
Personal development - In order to make the experience happen, I have set out a budget to work with for the next 6 months after which I will review it. I will be saving up for future plans and for an investment I am making to reel in more mulla.
What are your plans for 2013?

Hope you're all having a fabulous start to the year :) So I have quite a few things to say today...
To start off I did a proper evaluation of my wardrobe, threw out stuff that I really should not be wearing - things that were way past their best by date; the best move to make sure I get some decent replacements :) From jeans, to dresses, to well the more discreet items in our wardrobes :p. Anywho, what I came to realise was.....I have far too may "patterned" items of clothing and I tend to wear only my basics. The rest of the other stuff is really quite hard to wear, I would look like a hot kaleidoscope mess. Now; there is a right way to wear patterns:
So this year, well at least for the first bit of it, I am going back to basics. Getting some key pieces I can actually mix and match, stuff that I can wear for days on end! Thrift shopping has become my thing and unfortunately the thrill of finding things at such a good deal means I end up with some pieces I never end up wearing :-/. So this year, I think I need to add the following pieces to my wardrobe:

Jessie Ware + Delilah

October musings
Just a few snippets of October thus far! It's been quite eventful so far; went for the Swahili Fashion Week Nairobi Showcase which was a good evening - some great creativity. That said Patricia Mbela took the show - definitely set the standard for the rest of the designers! Great cut, fit, creativity and true elegance - I loved the way she highlighted the structural beauty of the shoulder blades:
As we're talking fashion, thought I'd share a few "new" pieces that I'm absolutely loving
This week was quite excting....I got to travel to Rwanda!! Kigali, to be specific. Was so excited for this trip...apart from the work to be done, I really wanted to get a feel of life in a fellow East African nation. Here are a few snippets of le pays des milles collines :)
Ooh and I noted that nothing was packed in plastic bags in Nakumatt...
and Mr. Price...!
On my last day there I got to visit the Rwanda Genocide Memorial, which was quite educational; I decided to get a book to learn a bit more about its history:
To top off the week, I attended a gala for one of the projects I've been working on. They went all out to say the least! Funtimes all round :)
That's all for now - have a lovely week :)
