Zambarau Spring Lookbook 2012

Habari!

Here are the just released pictures from a shoot styled by... THIS BLOG of course and it was surreal so tell a friend dude that we really are just that awesome, no need for applause, really :)

The client was jewelry house Zambarau (call 0721954235 to place an order) and they make handmade couture accessories. Zambarau's work is like an unexpected cinematic twist in a movie and a welcome one at that; Nairobi everyday fashion is serious and black especially in the spring when its so cold which at times can be boring but, these items add that explosive twist into your spring wardobe. Spring fashion has really embraced colour and rightly so, I cannot walk anywhere without bright flowers and butterflies decorating the streets, it really is a beautiful season. I am already making orders.

Working with Maria (Creative Director, Zambarau) made us realize that Zambarau really is statement fashion at its best!

Mashujaa Day

As most of you may already know, today's Mashujaa Day, which celebrates all the fighters that died for our freedom.

Across from me is my dad and my sister paying serious attention to Kibaki's walk. He still walks with a limp. I like that he doesn't shy down to address the army on the field or let it hold him back in any way.

Masai bangles: various Masai Markets
Black Swistar Quartz Watch: gift
Red and blue beaded wire bangles: 4U2 

When I was younger I wasn't really aware of my nationality in any way. I remember wanting to be american (probably because of the western-ised shows I'd watch). Even though we don't have the best politicians and what not, I love this country!...and I love being Masai! even though I'm only an eighth Masai and seven eighths Kikuyu and I LOVE this rain! oh yeah, rain, yeah!
Now, time to fix these nails. Ain't it just awesome when your nails are perfect even when your not all dressed up?

Have a lovely day!
