Fashion Earrings the Feather earrings

Feather earrings have been an ongoing trend that has been spotted on the streets of Nairobi and beyond. This small accent can turn your look from casual to very girly, playful, glamorous to even sexy.  These feather earrings can be normal earrings designs and the feathers added to it or pure feathers attached to a metal ring or hook to give out that bright look. Some are made of metal or wood and then beautifully adorned with delicate feathers of different colors, shape and from different kinds of birds giving you that extra trendy and fashionable look.
When pairing with an outfit go for something bright in case you have on a dull colored ensemble. Wear them whenever you have cocktail nights and be exceptionally elegant. Great for outdoors functions like weddings, barbeque, birthday party, graduation party or family get together. The feather earrings are an absolute no no for the office as they are too elaborate and bright for an office environment.
 Feather Earrings can alter a boring or ordinary outfit and turn it into a dazzling and exciting look because of their different designs and patterns. Some are short, others long while still other feather earrings can be extra long with as many details as you fancy.
In Nairobi get them at various beaut shops, the Toi Market, among other places and online you can get some designs from ma-petite-chou.com, http://www.fashionjools.com

Eye wear Fashion: Geek Glassess

Geek glasses back in way recently, but this fashion trend is not as simple it looks to master. Here are a few guidelines for you to notice along the way.
When buying your geek/nerd glasses, make sure they fit your face. Know your face whether it is round, square, oval or sculpted. Try out several shapes so that you have the perfect fit for you.
Your outfit can also determine the color, type and shape of the geek glasses. Fashion dictates that as you walk out in your geek glasses you look the part and feel wonderful in your complete outfit.
Don’t be frightened to mix geek glasses with other styles as well. Urban, Hip­pie, Prep­pie, Rock, animal design, or frame less, whatever your taste and likes, the glasses will work for you.
Whatever the occasion, geek glasses can be worn with style and you can keep it fresh, sophisticated, classy and nerdy.
Both men and women can rock this look. For men the geeky glasses look looks great when worn with a bow tie and v-neck cardigans

Fashion Dresses Patchwork dresses

Patchwork or "pieced work" is a form of needlework that involves sewing together pieces of fabric into a larger design. The larger design is usually based on repeat patterns built up with different fabric shapes (which can be different colors). These shapes are carefully measured and cut, basic geometric shapes making them easy to piece together. Precise joining by the most part with a quarter inch foot makes for a patchwork that lies flat without puckers.
The patchwors dress captures everything fun about spring in a fashionable way. Mostly for the bold lady who does not mind getting attention. Patchwork do not have to be the whole dress, you can choose to have the patchwork on parts of the dress if you don't want to wear all patchwork.
