A year older and wiser.

Its my birthday month and i feel blessed and grateful to celebrate yet another wonderful year of life.

Although a mom of four now, i still feel as young. Its all about how you feel right?

I guess i live my life feeling as young as i want to through fashion.

So for my birthday dinner i chose to wear a fun and flirty dress.

Perfect for the princess in me 🙂

A beautiful fit and flare dress with chic bonded lace and a net backed circle skirt for major volume.

The dress is beautiful.

The lace felt luxe and the lining super soft and comfortable.

It creates a definite hourglass shape and fit my body perfectly.

This is not your average fit and flare dress, so if you don’t like pouf then this might not be for you.

Its very flared and super girly.

Theres something about a gold dress that brings brown and olive skin tones to life.

I loved this dress and hope you will too.

Its perfect for wedding parties, easter and special occasions.

Here is the look x

Denim jumpsuits are a hot trend right now.

They are timeless and classic, so you can transition them to spring and winter as well.

This trend comes from the 1980’s and 1990’s.

Traditionally it was meant to be worn over or under another layer of clothing.

Whilst shopping for a denim jumpsuit, you may want to keep in mind washes, distressed versions, shaded, cut and shape that best suits you.

I personally like the slim fitted version that accentuates the body.

The best thing about a denim jumpsuit is that its an outfit on its own.

All you need are some accessories and fabulous shoes and you’re all set!

Dress it up with statement shoes and a clutch for an evening out or dress it down with a pair of flats and sunglasses for a shopping  afternoon.

Make overalls look as modern as possible. Avoid wide neck, crew neck and baggy shirts.

Better to go for striped tees and crispy white blouses for those that would layer.

I wore a sleeveless one for a night out with friends.

Here is the look, and in case you want to be the denim diva all you got to do is jump to it with a denim jumpsuit!

Its scorching down with the heat in Nairobi lately.

And all that comes to mind for weekend dress code are light maxi dresses to stay cool in.

Maxi dresses are perfect additions to any wardrobe.

I am a huge fan of long dresses and when i set my eyes on this black one i couldn’t resist.

Its unusual for me to come across a maxi dress in black that i fall in love with instantly.

Its perfect for a hot summer days, with its open sleeves and the loose fit.

I love the way it falls on the body and the structure. The detail of sheer net on the back stood out for me the most.

Unusual animal motifs on the front make for an interesting detail.

Simple yet sexy and elegant with an edge.

Super easy to style with a pair of flats and a contrasting bag.

This was my weekend outfit of choice for a bday party.

Enjoy and maxi on!

The redundancy of some trends may be annoying at times but you know those trends we never get enough of?

The ones we never get tired of doing? Such is the case of leather pants trend.

Long gone are those days when this trend was a ” bikers only” and  a “rock chic” staple.

Today not only have we made it casual evening, but any season, any style any look appropriate.

Its  all about finding the right pair of leather pants with the right cut and style to fit your body type.

The key is to match them with a top and shoes to get that effortless polished look.

For me i think its the skinny leather pants style that works best.

Its easier to pull of, snugs in the right places, polished and makes it easier to play with shapes.

I like to pair leather pants with oversized sweaters, tops, tees & shirts.

Frankly anything looks good paired with sexy leather pants.

Not convinced? Slap on a pair and see!

Instant hotness, confidence and a sexy sleek vibe will be all over you.

Stilettos are my favourite to pair with these, but ankle boots, ballet flats, chunky heels and boots all add to the sexiness.

Be careful and avoid making them overly sexy. I mean they already are so balancing this should be key.

Play with shapes and layers, make it look effortless.

Please don’t do stripper heels, a super tight top and little leather jackets. It just isn’t classy.

Make sure it looks tasteful and fits your personality.

So will you leather pants it or not?

Heres my weekend look for drinks with a girlfriend.

Hope you like it.

Love and  Lite, Sonal xx

Ever want to release your inner Blair Waldorf?

The cape is your companion.

A cape is  a great piece of clothing that is timeless and perfect.

It gives a touch of elegance over any outfit you have on.

Styling capes shouldn’t have to be complicated.

Capes can be worn with jeans, a turtle neck and booties for a casual look, a leather mini skirt and heels for a date, or take a cue from the boys and throw on a mens button up and shorts.

Capes are undoubtedly easier to pull of with pants.

Don’t confuse these with ponchos. Because of the holes for your arms.

On cold days, they still give warmth without the bulkiness of a coat and are perfect for layering.

Give yourself up to its sleek lines and distinct silhouette as you flaunt the cape coat with sexy pizzaz.

Cape coats have different styles so choose a style befitting your personality.

Here i show you my latest buy from a fabulous designer “Kukoon”

This is how i styled my first look and i know ill be styling this many more ways in the future.

Enjoy and don’t forget to cape it!
