Happy Friday!

It’s almost a year ago since I wore this trumpet skirt on here and as I said before; it has a certain ‘Je ne sais quoi’ …a certain something which just makes me feel my oh my *inserts JKL voice* With the on going Nairobi floods, I decided; not only am I going install spacers on my wheels but I will also need to be a few inches from the ground. I was not going to take chances with having a compulsory Jacuzzi in the car. With the spacers in place, I took out my July boots for a May stroll and surprise..surprise…it was as if they were meant for this. Here is how that ‘booted up’ ensemble turned out….and here is to surviving the Nairobi Floods!!!

The Grunge Mood

Taking a leaf from the grunge mood

The other day I watched this insightful HBO Documentary, In Vogue: The Editor’s Eye. It’s a 2012 movie taking you through the minds of the people behind Vogue’s provocative pictures and it’s one of those films I’d recommend to anyone, especially those interested in fashion or photography. At some point in the film, the legendary Grace Coddington starts to describe the time in fashion where grunge was everything. To be honest, I pray that trend never really finds its way back but that being said, I couldn’t stop thinking about those images she created and I felt inspired to take a leaf from the grunge mood.

Granted I’m not really a grunge kind of girl and chances are I’ll never be, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to explore this era and personalise it to fit my style. I’ve already got ideas of how to recreate another grunge look using these boots and a plaid shirt. Can’t wait to share it with you!

I guess that’s why I love fashion so much… we can choose to interpret it as we like and consequently transform ourselves. What better way to exercise your creativity?

Love and love.

Hi I am dating a shorter guy - #AskLucia | MusteredLady.com

Hi I am dating a shorter guy – Lucia Musau

“Hi I am dating a shorter guy”

Happy Friday!

Today we are going back to #AskLucia and first I would like to apologize to all those who have send questions which I haven’t been able to address yet. Kindly bear with me, I’m working on that. So to start us off, here is a question from one of my readers…

Dating a shorter guy – Lucia Musau

Before we discuss the fashion tips; I should mention that, in my opinion height shouldn’t be an issue in the first place. I would like to think that before you started dating you both knew your height differences that means you love each other just the way you are. So whereas you might feel the need to wear flats always you shouldn’t be obligated, as long as you are both okay with it. Look at Kevin Hart and his girlfriend Eniko Parish (he is 5 4′ and she is 5 7′ ) yet she still rocks her heels and if you ask me they look amazing

Anyhow if you would like downplay your height, here are some fashion tips:

Instead of vertical stripes choose horizontal ones. Vertical stripes will make you appear even taller

Try full dresses and skirts, they tend to draw the eye horizontally

Avoid monochromatic outfits by creating a contrast between your tops and bottoms i.e make sure your top and bottoms are different colors or you could go with a printed bottom for example

Shoes with straps over the ankle will help in making your legs appear shorter

For your hair try styles which add volume to the sides

Lastly, be confident! Confidence is the best tip you can have, don’t slouch so as to appear shorter instead stand tall and be proud of your height.

Hope this helps and all the best!

What is your view on this, what advice can you give this reader?
