The Sheer Trend. Trashy or Classy

Sheer has been trending for a while on the fashion scene as seen in many designers collection. The trend is not for the faint hearted and probably one of those that looks best in editorials and on the catwalk. The most popular is the sheer maxi skirt and even though im not sure i would attempt it, its looks mighty fine. I  think the choice of undergarment can make or break the look. 

Me likey

I love this one

Pierre-antoine-vettorello

I like this 

 Mukenyi Wambui 

I would wear ankle length leggings in the dress above. The boxer undies are a bit to revealing for moi.

Lace makes this very wearable and the booties match perfectly

Now these are some fine bossy pants. love these

What do you good people think. 

Yay or Nay

Its a Wrap

Switch up your hairstyle by trying out different wrapping styles. In this one you wrap up your head leaving out some of the hair at the front or sides. I wrapped with some extra piece of Kitengi but a scarf or any cloth will do.  Playing with head wraps is a way to keep things funky.

Face Basics - Makeup

I'm not big on make up but even i cannot deny the wow effect it can have on a face. Here is what i consider the basics
A good cover/concealer to blend in and smoothens the skin. This gives the illusion of a naturally smooth skin Lengthening water proof Mascara. Fake lashes daily may not be possible but this is
Some good lip balm and lip gloss if you're into that.
Red, bright pink lipsticks for those special days or when you're in the mood. This is for that POW effect
I also use eye liner. When i attempt to use eye shadow, i almost always end up with a smoky eye. That's my thing
Invest in some good Red, bright pink lipsticks for those special days or when youre in the mood. This is for that POW effect

Have a happy weekend and remember to keep it simple and pretty. What are your Make up basics?

BANTU KNOTS

Gini my natural hair bee rocking her bantu knots as done by moi. To achieve this look, do two strand twists and then twist them further into a knot. Use lots of moisturizer, oil and some gel. You could keep them for as long as you want and take them out with your hair in serious curls. You could do them in any size depending on the size of curls you want at the end. 

I think this style works for both natural and relaxed hair.

THE EAR LONGS

I am trying to be grammatically correct with the title.

 I picked up these long babies from ZEKI, the jewelry line from this Post. They are longer than your average earrings and that's why i love them. 

Blame the bad pictures on the nincompoop that stole my camera
