The most flattering hairstyles for oval faces are… well, pretty much anything! From sophisticated bobs with bangs to long, beachy waves parted down the middle, practically any style will work unless your face is particularly long. If you do have a very long, oval face, add brow-skimming bangs, cheek-grazing layers or curls to help balance a longer oval shape. Chin-length bobs, like Gwyneth Paltrow‘s, are also great because they create the illusion of width.

Avoid… Short layers that add height on top of your head and can make your face appear longer as well as hair that is too long (like Megan Fox‘s), which can drag down the face.
Celebrities with an oval face are… Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, Taylor Swift, Sarah Jessica Parker, Ashlee Simpson, Liv Tyler, Giselle Bundchen

The most flattering hairstyles for heart shaped faces are… hairstyles that draw attention to your eyes and cheekbones. Try side-swept bangs that hit at the arch of your brow, a strong part or hair that falls below your jaw line with soft, long layers. Feeling bold? A pixie is sure to look great!

Avoid… Short, blunt bangs and choppy layers.
Celebrities with a heart shaped face are… Katie Holmes, Jennifer Lopez, Rachel Bilson, Reese Witherspoon.

The most flattering hairstyles for square faces are… ones that play down the strong, angular jaw line. Add texture with curls, layers that start at the jaw line or choppy bangs to soften the strong lines of your jaw. Anything long and sleek will also flatter. And, if your hair is curly, play up your waves like Salma Hayek to balance out the boxiness.

Avoid…One-length bob hairstyles (especially chin-length) and blunt bangs both of which will only draw attention to an already-broad forehead and chin.
Celebrities with a square face are… Gwyneth Paltrow, Demi Moore, Angelina Jolie, Isabella Rosellini, Rosario Dawson

The most flattering hairstyles for round faces are… cuts that fall below the chin, which will help elongate a full face, making it appear more oval. Add choppy cheek-grazing pieces to give the illusion of angles where they don’t naturally exist or wispy, tapered ends to de-emphasize the roundness of your face. Similarly, soft, graduated layers can elongate your face, making it appear narrower. Love bangs? Just be sure to keep them long or side-swept for the most-flattering look. Although, we have to say, Ginnifer Goodwin and Michelle Williams have made embracing the round face and enhancing it with a pixie cut ever stylish in our books!

The Kiondo is now a fashion trend. I have spotted the bag on several fashion foward ladies who are not afraid to show off thier unique fashion sense. I remeber Kiondos used to be used to carry the grocery and most of us cringed and hated it when we were told to go tto the store carring it. It was not "cool" to be seen with such an "old ladies bag or grandmother's bag" we were as we'd like to believe too cool to carry it...at least we thought so. Now years later, the bag that we were running awa from is now a fashion accessorie. Looking at it from a fashio angle, the bag is beautiful and the colors make it perfect for the beach or even going out with your friends, family, just any fun activity.
The bag looks perfect carried with a maxi skirt or dress with flats any casual casual wear.
Kiondos have evolved and since they are locally made, it makes it simple to own one. Completely handmade the Kiondo is priceless! Even Mrs. Obama is spotted carrying one.

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

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
