STYLE ICON: KATE MIDDLETON

Hi all. I hope you are having a good week.

Two days ago, the royal family announced that Kate Middleton, or rather Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, is expectant. I was so excited mostly because I love her style and I can't wait to see her maternity style.

I put together some of the things I admire most about her style below. Enjoy!!

Simplicity is key

In order to look great, you don't need to try too hard. Simple cuts when worn with the right accessories can make you look stunning. Say goodbye to those extravagant outfits and try something more simple.

Red carpet glamour

I've always dreamt of walking on the red carpet. But what scares me most is that the red carpet will over power my dress. But with inspiration like this I don't think you can go wrong

Fascinating Fascinators

I think fascinators are so classy and royal. But I believe you don't have to be royalty to wear one. I love them for very special occasions such as weddings, or derby etc.

Style in the cold

When the temperatures drop, many people inevitably reach for the most dull, frumpy outfits all in the name of keeping warm. But after going through these photos, I'm now more resolved to maintain my style through every season.

A few girlie moments are essential

Which girl doesn't have girlie moments?? Nothing beats wearing something feminine. I find that feminine pieces bring out the gentler side of you and many times make you more approachable.

Don't be afraid of suits

I greatly dislike suits, more in particular women's suits. Maybe this has to do alot with their style and the shiny fabric many are made from these days. But if you choose one with a great fit and nice fabric, I don't think you can go wrong.

A smile is an important accessory

I don't need to say anything more.

Happy Wednesday!!!

A labour of love: Long days, bee stings and a global premiere

“Amkeni” roughly translates to “Rise Up” in Kiswahili. This is the call of Chambuko Amkeni, a community-led conservation group involved in mangrove restoration and protection. In 2025, I had the honour of working with them to document their journey on women’s leadership in coastal and marine conservation, climate change adaptation and the blue economy, for a collaboration between Mission inclusion and the BBC StoryWorks' for the Living Legacy Series . This was my first time working on a project of this magnitude not to mention one that would have a global audience. To say this has been one of the highlights of the last two years is an understatement. Just thinking about it, my heart swells with pride. I feel like a mother watching her baby grow and come of age (please don't tell my daughter this!). With members of the Chambuko Amkeni Group Leading the production of Amkeni with my amazing colleagues was a true labour of love. A vision come to life thanks to the support o...

Rediscovering myself

A few blog posts ago I alluded to struggles I'd been facing for a few years now. I said that I would address these issues here soon but honestly, I didn't know when would be a good time. So I thought that today is as good a day as any. Last year I was diagnosed with trauma. It had been years in the making, a result of an emotionally abusive relationship and years of challenging events with seemingly no respite in sight. Although I had eventually gotten out of the relationship, I had unconsciously allowed this person's opinions of me become so ingrained in me that I had lost all knowledge of my former self. I lacked self-confidence. I blamed myself for many things that had happened in my life. I was perpetually sad and struggled to find even the smallest things to smile about. I had no motivation to do even those things that I loved. I would take photos and see my smiling face but deep down I knew that was just a front. I was broken, a shell of my former self. Now I'm no...

Blogging Challenge Day 13 | 5 Ways I Learned To Be Happy (No Matter The Circumstances)

Like everybody else, I began this year on a very positive note. I hoped for a better year than I had had in 2017. I had a plan that I laid out and I was determined to accomplish a lot of what was on my 2018 list. I once heard someone say that sometimes you plan and it doesn't work out not because you haven't put in enough effort but because God has other plans for you. So the first three months of 2018 were completely upside down for me. Everything seemed to be going wrong. I won't lie to you and tell you that I carried on happy in spite of everything that wasn't working. I struggled to smile, to wake up in the morning, to face my day, to be around people. However, I was determined to find lasting happiness. I wanted to find a way that would ensure that I remained happy even when life seemed to be going against me. I did my research and tried out a few things and found the 5 ways listed below that I have now been putting into practice for the last four or so month...
