Mini Haul

Over the past couple of weeks I've been lucky enough to stumble on a few things that all have one thing in common: Vibrant colours. The weather has been pretty drab lately so anything to spice up my life has been more than welcome. 

Maasai necklace - Shs400; Maasai bracelet Shs400

Both pieces were bought off Maasai women who were selling their jewellery while I was at Olorgesailie

Susen bag Shs3,500.

I got this bag off mother's friend who was selling some stuff she'd got from Dubai. I fell in love with the colours immediately I laid my eyes on it. Me thinks this is colour blocking at its best. 

Top from TwentyOne - freeee

Mother got this top about 2yrs ago from Dubai but has never won it. She finally caved in and handed it over to yours truly!

The story of how I got my hands on the above items is beyond epic. Here's the short version:

The rings were being sold for Shs1200 while the earrings were going for Shs800 but I got everything for the grand total of Shs800. That's Shs200 for each ring and pair of earrings. Between me and you, there's a very good chance that the man who sold them to me may have been Santa. I mean, who gives such a discount?! He later explained that the stones in the rings may come off if the ring was dropped and so he didn't feel right selling to me a product that wasn't 100%. Although he didn't say anything, I'm guessing the same applies for the earrings?? Most people don't usually own up to the defaults of their products so his honesty made me so happy! Such a cool dude. He was at Westgate Mall for the day but he usually sells his products at Mobil Plaza, Muthaiga, where he's got a stand. He's got really cute stuff but be warned, a few of them might be faulty! Regardless, go check him out!!

Love that these earrings are handmade. Ended up giving them to mother.
