As I enter the final year of my 30s, I thought I s As I enter the final year of my 30s, I thought I share with you some pictures of mine at 9 months, 9 years, 19 years, 29 years  to today 39 years old of age. Looking back at each decade, I feel both ‘older’ and ‘younger’, I see the change in my features, the change in my way of life, the change in my personality and the experience itched on my face. I am grateful for the life I have lived thus far and excited for the life I am yet to live. 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

2026 - 39, (Home, England), I am ready for this final year before my 40s but also ready for this next decade. 
2016 - 29, (Oslo, Norway), this decade was about self discovery and building the life I dreamt about. The life that I am super proud of and truly grateful to be living. This decade, I built my financial life and in later years choose to heal from the trauma gained in the last decade and now I feel well equipped for the future. 
2006 - 19, (Glasgow, Scotland), I thought I was grown (look at the cheekbones 🤣🤣) and ready for the world, chiiiild was I wrong, let’s just say, I am still resolving the trauma the decade brought me but I am grateful because I met my best friends and made decisions for the future I wanted to have. (Spoiler alert - I did better than I dreamed). 
1996 - 9, (Home, Zambia) this was my birthday but my little sister insisted she had to be the one in the middle. The only way we knew whose birthday it was, was by standing in the middle but this year I remember baby sister crying her eyes out and refusing 🤨
1988 - 9 months, (Chililabombwe, Zambia) although my mother looks tired and traumatised😟, I know I was loved and happy.

{Fashion Monday} Chill Monday

Chill Monday
Chill Monday 

So tomorrow is the last day of March 2015, can we take a moment to realise that we have almost finished 3 months in this new year!! I have loved every single day of 2015, I have been happy and joyous more times than I have been sad this year. So many blessings, so many things to love and so many people to thank and mostly taking some time to relax and just chill hence my chill monday post.

Though I am working today and probably won’t get to dress up as chill as I would like I thought I give you a glimpse into what I would (will) wear on my chill monday. If I did not have to work today and had time to chill I would wear my ankle boots with skinny jeans and oversized top. It’s still cold here so a leather jacket or any warm coat would go a long way in keeping me warm for my stroll around my new home.


Shop my closet


A few blogger runs a series called fashion fits everyone and it got me thinking today, what is fashion to me? How would I define fashion? I am no fashionista and do not claim to be but fashion to me is being comfortable in my skin, loving all my bits and bobs, loving my beer belly and using clothes that not only flatter me but are comfortable. I am all up for dressing stylishly but I love dressing comfortably first then stylishness second. If I had a chance to choose something I would wear daily it would have to be skinny jeans for when I am out and about or at work and PJ’s when I am at home. That’s what fashion is to me and how I look at it.

What’s fashion to you? Do you dress for style or comfort or both?

    Glad you mentioned it, didn’t realized that 3 months has by so quickly for me. I guess when you are busy and having fun,time do flies. I am with you on fashion, I am not a fashion savvy either, I just want what’s comfy for me.

    I am definitely a hybrid dresser. I want to be comfortable but I always want to look good while doing it. Sometimes that means going all out on my makeup even if I’m wearing sweatpants and a tank top to go out and run errands lol

    There are days when comfort definitely beats style no matter what. I should try to make all of my outfits both stylish and comfortable though.

    I think I dress either way (style or comfort) depending on the occasion. Right now I just want it to be a little warmer so we can dress a little less layered!
