THE PHOTOSHOOOT!!!

WOW. 
I've typed and erased, typed and erased, typed and erased my words several times now. I'm not sure I know how to express how grateful I am at this moment. 

Makena, thank you so much for approaching me to do this photoshoot. I feel so humbled and honoured and excited to have been a part of such a fun project!! I think the pictures turned out great and can't wait to work with you again in the future.
Kalumu, few people would have been as patient with me as you were when it came to doing my eye make up. You should know that the set of eyelashes you used on me still sit on my dresser as a reminder of the unforgettable day. 















Photography: Makena Murungi
Make up: Kalumu Waziri

Thank you, thank you, thank you ladies!!

So what do you guys think?

    Gorgeous, I think you should consider modelling , as they say on ANTM you look FIERCE:)

    P.s I love the head chain (or tiara for lack of a better word) Is it a necklace turned head gear? How can i get my hands on one :)

      Thanks Vee :)
      Though I'm 5"3, couldn't pursue it even if I wanted to.. Which I don't!

      The head gear was such a mission to have on.. I couldn't move around abruptly which became so annoying after a while!! But I reckon it would work really well if it was less bulky.

      I can see the bulkiness your talking about, especially if you clipped it to your hair. Nonetheless its very pretty :)

      If not modelling, you can suit being a presenter for Kenyan fashion on tv or commercial ads :P Pssst has anyone ever told you ,you look like Miss Karun from Camp Mulla...lol, are u related?

      No one's ever said that! Not related, never met her..

      If you ever have a fashion tv show you'd like to start, I'm your girl ;)

      You should definitely try it but as I told Vee, the lighter the necklace the more practical it will be to have on!

      Though let's not kid ourselves here.. Photoshop is our best friend when it comes to photoshoots.

      Yeah I'm 5"3, how tall did you think I was??
