Shift dresses have been a wardrobe essential for many women since its 'birth' in the 1960's. There's a calmness & elegance that they add to any look which makes them a go-to for almost any occasion. And this put-together look that is effortless is just what every woman needs to have in their wardrobe & of course in different prints & Colours. It gives you a plain board on which you can add different accessories how you like it. Whether you want the end result to be something...

Am pretty late jumping on the 'Gingham' bandwagon as you can see, but better late than never right. I bought this dress earlier this summer off of Ebay but for some reason, never got to wear it. I honestly felt that I was showing too much with the sleeveless arms, short length & a slit too. So, I looked for a fabric with the similar print, added long sleeves to it, a ruffle detail & created an inverted 'envelope' on the slit.

This is what I wore to a work Christmas Party earlier last week, dinner & later a very intersting comedy show at the 'Imperial Theater' in Reeperbahn. Red is the colour of the season & this shift dress is perfect. I combined it with my favourite platform heels to finish off this 60's inspired look.

The 70-metre long replica of Noah's Ark is the latest & until now the biggest Project by Aad Peters(55), a Dutch Puppeteer, TV Entertainer & Journalist who has worked in many countries & conflict-ridden regions like in Libya, Syria or Iran. He came up with the idea to build the Ark as a way of telling the Biblical story of Noah not only to children but to adults too because he believed that most people don't know much about the wonderful Biblical stories anymore. The Ark's interior...

Truth be told, styling overknee boots can be somewhat a challenge because they have a way of making an outfit look, well 'over-sexy'. But the perfect way to tone things down a bit is by adding some black tights.

Snow & Rain over the weekend usually means a visit to a Museum or Exhibition, so on Sunday after church we headed over to the Hamburg Messe (Exhibition Halls) for the 'Affordable Art Fair'. This is an Exhibition held yearly to bring together Artists, Galleries, Art lovers, Buyers & Collectors. And what a collection of beautiful Art was on display, Photographs, Still life, Potraits, Abstracts & even sculptures. There were so many beautiful images to capture, I'd like to share a few...

In my head, this is me when I meet my neighbour/ friend at the Market & she tells me a very interesting and funny story that just makes me laugh out loud. Well, this is not a typical outfit that I would wear to my local market in Kisumu, Kenya (Oile Market). I can just hear my Mother's voice, ''Flo, don't you dare leave this house that you are going to the Market in that short dress. Please put on a Trouser or a skirt under...'' But this is an Outfit that I can wear to a Party, Lunch with...

Fall/Autumn is here which means wind, rain & cooler temperatures so our wardrobes have to also be adjusted accordingly. What really helps is having some basic pieces which can be layered to make different outfits. This Ankara Print Shiftdress available in my Shop is one of them, it's simple silhouette & colourful Print makes it stand out. It can be styled in different ways. On this day, I went with a random slim brown belt cinched around my waist to create some shape, overknee boots...
