A few weeks ago I headed out to the Arts and Crafts Market at Sarakasi Dome where I’d heard that every first Saturday of the month, vendors come and sell their cute little nick knacks at affordable prices. I headed out early Saturday morning and got there by around 11am all excited to see beautiful items and to bargain my way through amazing discounts with the vendors. Man, what a disappointment. I don’t know whether it’s because I was there early or this was just not a good Saturday in general but there were literally 4 vendors there with really basic stuff and their items sprawled on the tiniest of tables. I was in shock! Have you ever been to this event and if so, could you please tell me whether this is the case every time?
Anyway, after walking around for all of 45 seconds (going round 4 vendors with basic items sprawled on small tables doesn’t take much time, I guarantee it) I landed on this one lady who had
thee scarf. You see, I’m a scarf lover and I rarely leave the house without one.. especially with the weather we've been having lately. Not only does it act as a perfect accessory but it also keeps your chest warm which is something my mother used to stress when we were kids! I was starting to feel like the scarves I had were pretty basic so you can imagine my excitement when I landed on this baby. Isn't she beautiful? I love how the beads dance on her edges adding an unexpected playfulness to the scarf. I've received so many compliments on this here scarf already - you should head out to Sarakasi Dome and grab yourself one!

My dad needs a medal.
I don't think he listens to me half the time, and can't exactly blame him as my version of an interesting convo is discussing what Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were seen wearing, but I'm sure glad he was listening this time. I was telling him how I need to get more fashion magazines and what do you know - the man went out and bought a handful! But let's have a serious moment here and talk a little about how ridiculously expensive they can be. I mean KES1,720 (about 13pounds) for a magazine that sells for less than 5 pounds in the UK??? That's cray. The government needs to intervene. Let's sign a petition or something. You in? My dad was lucky enough to get these magazines at a MAJAH discount and we all love a good discount, don't we?
I'm sure we're all excited about the heat that is soon to be upon us. I'm over this drab, dull, gloomy weather and can't wait to wear some fun, colourful nail polishes to kick off the warmer days! I'm also trying to put together a proper summer wardrobe - first time in my life that I've ever planned my wardrobe for a season. I'm excited about this. Would you like me to share what I'm putting together?
Guys I have sad news. My laptop is slowly dying. On Wednesday I almost had a panic attack at the office when I couldn't get it to charge. I tried moving the charger around, removing the battery - everything really - but my lappy wouldn't charge which means it wouldn't go on. I was heartbroken considering all the pictures I've got on here and I don't have them saved anywhere else. Lucky for me it finally started charging later that evening but it's still being stubborn. Can't blame my lappy though cos it's been going strong for about 5 years now.. You have done me well lappy but even I can see that you're crawling your way through this and that you need to be put to rest.
Hopefully I'll get it fixed soon but in the event that we go MIA for the next few days please bear with us. Lappy and I will be trying to work through our little problem here.
Wow. This has been quite the lengthy post huh?
A beautiful weekend to you all and thank you for stopping by!!
