STYLEBUDS REWIND

  
             Hey buddy bud buds!! So in the spirit of Throwback Thursday, we decided to take a little trip down memory lane all the way down to the Nairobi Fashion Market. It was suuuuch a fun day!!We got to meet so many interesting people with such a unique take on African fashion. Like the stylish beauty in the picture above, ever spotted someone that looked so stylish and unique you had this feeling that y'all might be related.... like style-related? That's exactly what happened when we spotted her! Sadly we don't remember her name or the name of her blog but if you're reading this and you do, be sure to tell her her fashion sense rules!!
            We also met her sister/friend(not quite sure which it was) but whichever it is all we can say is great minds think alike

 
  Now a re-cap of what we wore yes!

 Cindy was all about colour and ankara.

Kim on the other hand killed it in a strapless number

 

       We cant forget the lovely Bella of bellathecoffeeberry.wordpress.com who was also in line with the ankara theme.

        And last but definitely not least Wambui, a very talented designer that showcased a number her designs on that day.

Well that's all from us loves.....Time to get back to the present                                                          

                                                          Till next time StyleBuds over&out
                                                                                    XO!

SHORTIES

 When it's July and the sun takes a break from hibernation and comes out to play....you better come out looking like it's been summer all day everyday!! It's a rare opportunity......RUN WITH IT!
       Shorts …Hot-pants, Booty shorts, Short shorts, these beauties come in  many styles, fabrics, prints and colors. Shorts just might be one of the most popular must-haves in every woman’s wardrobe. They give you the same cool, breezy feeling as a skirt, only with them on you can sit any way you want and not panic about having a peek-a-boo moment. Those who love to dress in casual, yet sexy and flattering outfits will definitely have these versatile pieces in more than one design. 

     Shorts have been around for more than half a century now, gracing the behinds of countless women since.The trick is to flatter your shape and size, balance the top with accessories up or down accordingly, and strut it!!!!!

   Actually shorts follow the same principle as skirts – it’s all about the silhouette.As for the pairing top, a good rule to keep in mind is, it's all about balance. If your shorts are loose and baggy wear a tighter top. If your shorts are shorter and tighter, loosen up on top.

 Anchor your look with accessories like a long-chain pendant, sandals, over-sized sunglasses,hats or a block-color bag to add some ‘pop’.

   All in all, no matter what body shape you have, every woman definitely can be flattering in shorts as long as you know what types of shorts look best on your silhouette. 

     Put some accessories, wear flattering footwear, and comfortable tops to disguise any 'work in progress' area you might want to hide.

     But above all, no matter what ‘problem’ you have with your body, self-confidence and your personality are and always will be the number one rule in fashion. It’s important to remember that there is no perfect body type and each shape can be fabulously styled!!! Case and Point..... look at us with our thick thighs & shorts!

                                                      Till next time, StyleBuds over&out!
