Corset belts have been in the limelight and are not going anywhere soon, the thicker shaped corset belts are now the must-have of women’s accessories in thier wardrobes.
The beauty to these corset belts is, no matter what size you are,you can pull this look with just about any outfit that you fancy. The belts will give you a shape if that is what you are looking for, they have a slimming effect when you put it on with your little black dress thus giving the illusion that have that tiny little waist. The corset belt sits high on your waist and gives you the bottle glass figure that is the goal of evrery woman who wants to look hot.
Corset belts also do not discriminate on age as they will help to keep your figure tucked in at all the right places. Corset belts have a tough thick material and are firm which means that they will not go around your waist or slide down unnecesarily causing you discomfort.
They come in various colors which ensures that you can match or clash with your outfit. Though the belts are usually detailed, you can accessorise as much and as little as possible. The belts have been spotted on celebrities, on the catwalk and even on Michelle Obama here wearing  a corset-belt by Peter Soronen

The Art of Manscaping


In the beauty industry, there are some very quietly whispered affairs usually known as beauty secrets. When it concerns men, then it almost always starts like an underground movement.
One of those movements happens to be male grooming. But not just any ordinary grooming. It’s manscaping. The term is described in the Urban Dictionary as “to groom a man-shaving, waxing, cleaning up the superfluous fur.” Or as “a term used to define male grooming below the belt. A male can use either an electric razor or a regular razor. A Mach 3 is preferable with the ladies…so men must educate themselves on proper manscaping and maintenance techniques”
In the midst of some hilarious definitions also erupts “a fine art form exclusive to men; the continued upkeep of exceptional hygiene and strategic hair removal as they pertain to the male body”

Keep your feet warm with fashion shoes...Ugg Boots



Going with my Cold Weather attires. These types of shoes have been spotted on women's feet though I think most women have a different name while some do not know what they are called all together, they are called Ugg boots. Warm and lovely to wear on these cold days. 
The Ugg boots can be bought from most shops in town and if you want to buy online you can go to Zappos store an online store where there are currently about 50,000 varieties of shoes sold.
Ugg boots (sometimes called Uggs) are known in Australia and New Zealand as a unisex style of sheepskin boot made of twin-faced sheepskin with fleece on the inside and with a tanned outer surface, often with a synthetic sole. The boots originated in those countries, initially as utilitarian footwear worn for warmth and comfort and later adopted by surfers there during the 1960s. In the 1970s, the boots were introduced to the surf culture of the United Kingdom and the United States by local surfers returning from surfing competitions in Australian.

Ugg boots emerged as a fashion trend in the United States in the late 1990s and as a world-wide trend in the late 2000s, yet they failed to gain popularity in Australia where they are worn predominantly as slippers and associated with "daggy" fashion sense, and bogan culture.
The boots come in different colors, designs, material they are made with and even style. 
Wear your Ugg boots with skinny jeans and tuck it in, plus they go really well with tights and a mini skirt jeans or shorts. Pair with a cute top and accessorise as you fancy.
Ugg boots are not only for the cold weather but also for some moderate weather where you can put them on with a short skirt, shorts or a lovely dress.They are super comfortable and look great as well. Both men, women and children can wear Ugg boots.

What exactly makes people to fall in love? by Dr. Chris Hart



Have you ever been passionately in love? It’s such a strange feeling. So intense. An all-consuming longing for your lover. You idealize your partner and think about them all the time. Wanting to know everything about them; to please them and understand their feelings. To be close to them. And you experience such a roller coaster of emotions: joy, happiness, serenity, anxiety, panic and despair.
Passionate love’s driven by hope, loneliness and jealousy. A mixture of pain and pleasure. It can be a bitter sweet experience. For some so painful they hope never to fall in love again.

Cold Weather Fashion :Scarfs

The long rains season is here and I am so excited, I don't know what exactly excites me about the rain but I love it when it's wet. Apart from making your world smell fresher, the rainy season gives you a chance to remove all those great clothes that have been holed up at the back of your closet because it was too hot to wear them. Stuff like cute sweaters, leg warmers, nice cozy cotton boots and most of all those fashion items called...scarfs.
Scarves come in different sizes and shapes, you can have square scarves, rectangular, round scarves, and triangular scarves. Some scarves have hemmed edges, fringed edges, and fused edges. They can be batik dyed, tie-dyed, silk-screened, have woven patterns, or solid colors. A great scarf says your are keeping warm but not forgetting to look hot and fashionable.
Scarves can be worn as a fashion accessory by blending with the outfit or as a fashion item on its own. Given that scarves come in different shapes, light or heavy in weight choosing a scarf does not have to be a headache inducing exercise as most importantly, you a wearing the scarf for functionality purposes.
It provides extra style and warmth around your neck.

The Ruffles Fashion for the trendy woman

I have been seeing the ruffled shoulder tops everywhere in town and so i decided to write about them since it seems it is becoming a rend in Nairobi. I have seen several colors, designs and even different ruffled designs on the tops.
They look stylish and further more just add a playful, seemingly effortless sense of style to the wearer. It cab be a Ruffled One Shoulder Top, a Ruffled shoulders dress, either short or long. Ruffles make an outfit look great as they have greater details.
