Interior Design-- Kenya

30 December 2011
"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm."
                                          - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Since I was unable to locate a mainstream beauty of the week from Kenya--most models and actors are from the neighboring countries such as the Sudan, Somalia and Ethiopia--I decided to focus this post on something uniquely Kenyan--African Inspired home decor. Usually African decor that is uniquely Kenyan tend to have Kikoi cloths or animal fur cloth/rug thrown here or there--Kente cloths are from Ghana-- natural earthy colors, Kenyan warrior masks, drums and most of all wooden animal statues. Mostly natural elements like wood or rattan and green plants.. I have chosen a few pictures to display this beautiful and artistic decor. I have also included some photos from designer Suno's Fall 2009 collection dedicated to the people of Kenya.

The wonderful thing about African decor is that you do not have to deck your entire house or room in African items. You could just use natural--earthy--colors and choose a piece or two and declare it African. A well placed ottoman, or wooden giraffe or mask and voila you have a conversational piece for all of your coffee parties. I hope these inspire you!

Nail Color of the Week--Kenya

28 December 2011
Good afternoon chicklets!

Hope all is well in your world as we prepare to launch ourselves into the new year what kind of styles and trends are you incorporating into your wardrobe?

I look forward to this new year and where this blog is going. I am working in advance on how I will approach the content on this blog. I am all about fashion and what is in and I definitely will be crawling the web to find what's new and what's in. Most times however I am on point without doing that.

Upward and Onward, today's post is continuing this week's nod to Kenya and the continent of Africa and its earthy and sometimes bright tones.  This nail color has been popular for quite some time and I do not think it will go away for a while. Chocolate brown is rich in  color and is dark but not black and it is warmer of course. It is the color of the earth from which we come, the color of the most decadent sweet and everyone can wear it!

Check out these chocolate brown colors.

 Speaking of Africa, famous fashion photographer Mario Epanya, created a mock-up for Vogue Africa since Africa is the only continent --besides the Middle East-- that does not have their own Vogue edition unlike other countries. Of course Conde Nast shot it down. I hope that some day they will see that it is an awesome idea and pick up the edition but until check out these beautiful layouts he created.
