MY STYLING PORTFOLIO: THE JUNGLE GIRL



LUVI AND NANA

 i know it's been a while, it always is but this i got to share this. i have no excuses for going MIA this time. This is a shoot i did 2 years back. it was just for fun and i did it as a fashion designer and not a stylist. i had just started sketching and decided to test my styling skills, the most interesting thing is that the photos ended up  on some French Magazine called Ghubar. How it happened ?  you dont want to know.
but we told ourselves that  the photos must have been so good for them to appear in such a Magazine. It was this day that i thought i should become a stylist. Luvu told me i would make a great one.
i know Nana and Luvu got  jobs in Paris and left me all alone in Kenya . I havent heard from them for like 2 years.
 i hope they see this.
thanks guys

MUST GET ! eclectic fashion jewelry

hallo ,i know its been a while since i last blogged , but i ve been busy having shoots
today im all about jewelryWhen it comes to jewelry, my themes are opulence and excess. Whether it’s the use of eye-catching color, unexpected sparkle, or simply piling it on, summer jewelry is all about statement, statement, statement!

• Bracelets: Neon friendship bracelets circa 1995 are making a comeback! Our favorite camp projects have gone glam with the infusion of stones and glittery tinsel, the brighter the better! Also hot: anything braided, oversized (think wide metal cuffs!), or stacked. In keeping with the theme, why wear one bracelet if you can wear six?! The combination of kitschy friendship bracelets, a bangle or three, and last winter’s boyfriend watch is glamorous and fresh. Eclectic fashion at its best!
• Rings: If you live for cocktail jewelry, stock up! It’s not at all unusual to see stylish ladies rocking multiple rings on a single hand! Double-finger connecter styles, animal-inspired, and mixed-media pieces are amongst the trendiest styles. Unsure of where to begin? Try wearing rings on your thumb and ring fingers. The end result is fabulously over-the-top, but the distance between your digits will keep the look uncluttered. Bonus summer tip: Invest in rings in many sizes. We love the look of a single, especially chunky piece worn on the index finger.
• Necklaces: When it comes to picking a trendy  necklace, keep in mind that more is more! In contrast to previous seasons’ dainty pieces, this  is all about excess. From chains, to layers, to oversized gems, royal-inspired, extra large pieces are stealing the show. There’s no better time to wear some of this eye-catching jewelry than in tank-top and strapless dress season!
