Home is where the CAMP is..(Part 2)

While at the Mara we were staying at a really scenic camp site call Tipilikwani (pronounced Tea-pea-li-kwani). It is located right outside the main Mara drive probably 50Km eastwards . The service is great. We were welcomed by a group of Masais and some drinks... The lounge area is beautiful  and dinner is served in candle light. The cottages are beautiful to say the least and you get a trip adviser...

welcome drinks..

reception...took picture while inside our van

go WILD or go home..(Part 1)

So this has nothing to do with fashion , maybe something to with arts..maybe. I went on a rather short and random round trip around the Mara and I went crazy with the camera (paparazzi style) and that explains why this is a part 1. The photography i did features excursions in the wild, bird watching, food and drink, camp sites and everything in between. Here are some pics of the wild....

A gazelle...these animal are waaay to timid!

a Tom eagle...

Wildebeest ..they were so many literally coloring the landscape brown

Jumbos!

Chui ..she was to stuffed to be bothered.

a pride of lions (note the cub)..the heat was overwhelming!

Buffalos

Lone Giraffe.

spot something on the tree?

and finally...

The Mara is spectacular!

I got my EYE on you

Lazy weekends make me happy .I sort of like the feeling of being completely disassociated from the rest of the world and doing absolutely nothing because I werk to hard every other day of the month. The last two days have been just that to me :)

So now to the subject of this post...I have been enchanted by eyes for some time and accumulated a couple of pics from sites that I've been dying to share so here goes...

Obviously influenced by the goth subculture...

blue blooded mercineries...

It is rather hard to find someone whose sense of style I can personally relate to so when I discovered Daphne Guinness a while back I was like completely stunned. Her impeccable taste in clothes and how she styles her outfits just makes me really really reeeeaaally admire her. I think when I grow up I wanna be just like her...

I saw a shoot she did for Vogue Italia and although i am still getting round to understanding the concept, I love this shoot. Some pics...

She was a muse to Alexander Mcqueen (the genius) and now has her own fragrance. I love this woman...

Tres Tres chic!

if you are two-faced,make one face pretty...

I want to write and give details but the images are loud enough. The shoots of Lady GaGa are from V magazine.Photographed by Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin and style byNicola Formichetti. The bottom two images are shoots whose make-up artist is Kabuki.

disgusting art.aargh Love it!

Bad Romance

"walk walk fashion baby
work it move that bitch crazy..
walk walk passion baby.."

Lust does not define the extent to which I love these shoes..they are various designers ranging from Mcqueen Fall 2011 collection and many others.It is ok to drool...

These shoes above by Lauren Tettenbaum..and below by Andreia Chavez.

The final shoes can be an amazing DIY project...


still high on sth but I need to call it a Day..

rainy days,junk food and reptile instincts..

Nairobi has been pretty grey for the last couple days and I have consequently been indoors for the most part munching hopelessly on junkfood and watching alot of national geographic..hmm? the junk food part is thanks to the fact that everyone at home took random vacations and I have been alone for the last week..Yippee some me time!..So anyway I found some amazing work by Klara Kalicz and decided to share..

does anyone else see the reptilian influence?


off to watch big brother africa.
