REVLON BAR!!

Sooooo... this is kinda awkward
I think we have been off air for like what, um.. three, five maybe six months and that is horrible, absolutely horrible but, as you know me (Annie) and Chezza had just graduated from high school/ pre-college, argh! whatever, and were preparing to go to university so busy does not even begin to describe the past year.

But we are back-ish cause Chezza's just started school, HUZZZAH! and i'm pretty sure is super busy. I have like 2 and a half months (hopefully) so i'm the free one!

Anyway we are still planning some epic stuff to come your way which we won't mention this year but here's a hint, Fashion!  mwahahaha! Yeah, that was kind of obvious but, its the best I can do for now. Also you will also realize a change in fashion reporting. Because fashion is such a cool part of our lives it was impossible not to blog about the culture that comes with it in terms of music, art, lifestyle, so the hiatus really served as a reflection on what we need to change, so if you are into art, music, subcultures and the like then Ta Da! you have found a home here :)

Now to some fashion news,

The Revlon Bar in Nakumatt, Click to read more at Capital news

REVLON is HERE!!!

Yup that's right the super uber cool New York makeup brand has recently opened up a Revlon bar in Nairobi in conjunction with Nakumatt who as far as I can tell is planning on turning into a department store, (congrats Nakumatt!) they also are planning on releasing more cosmetic brands this year for their cosmetic department which I am so stoked about. Do I see your lovely lipsticks Cover Girl or your awesome nail polish O.P.I?

Hands up if you are extremely excited by this development, I haven't seen the bar yet but i'm heading to the Junction today so hopefully i'll will see this marvelous, wondrous, goodness, Om Nom Nom!! Maybe buy something?
Have you seen it yet? If so what do you think of it?

Keep you Posted!

Another Rihanna Cover

I have this complex toward Rihanna, It's like a balancing act between whether I think she's cool or not. Regardless of what side the scales lean on, she intrigues me. I listen to some of her music though but I don't go out of my way to do it. I saw the pictures from Harper's Bazaar August 2012 today and right now I like her, a lot.

Hair (updated)

No cleverly punned title or smart way to say it. Today's post is exactly just that: Hair, more specifically natural hair.
I've been obsessing over natural hair the last couple of days. The last time I had natural hair I was 7 and it was up to my mum to look after it. I'm dying to try it out, make the commitment (could this be a possible new years resolution?? CHALLENGE...pending...)
But you see, commitment's the problem. At the moment, my hair is relaxed and I'm really REALLY lazy when it comes to my hair. Don't think I take it for granted or abuse it or anything like that, it's just sometimes I won't comb my hair for three days and not be bothered by it (could this post be anymore embarrassing?!).
I like imagining what this head of straightened hair would look like all natural and curly. Annie has this natural beautiful head of hair (which is usually braided most of the time) and the way she maintains it? Magic. The last time I caved and reached out to touch it, it felt like cotton-candy baby hair!

Update: Here's a better picture of what my hair currently looks like. 

In my family our house is like a village. At first your taking simple shots of yourself for a hair post on your blog then out of nowhere, BAM! One of the little villagers pounces like a little rabid cat.

A few of the pictures I've saved for inspiration:

Google | Google | Streetpeeper | Kurly Kichana

So far I wouldn't know what natural hair would really be like without Kurly Kichana. Other than the fact that you really get proper insight into hair care, the up's and downs of it all AND transitioning WITHOUT cutting it all off (yes all that good stuff!), the best part about it is....suspense.....drum roll.....more suspense.... it's Kenyan!! OH YEAH, KENYAN YEAH!

Have a lovely Sunday!
