IS PINK FOR MEN? Straight from heart

Pink has been taken to mean sweet, nice, playful, cute, romantic, charming, FEMININE. It has also been described as the color of universal love of oneself.

Feminine or Masculine is the question that pops up whenever we see the pink color.
As late as 1980s and 90s the color pink has been preferred by mothers on their girl-child babies. Unconsciously to differentiate them from the boys. As might sound nice and wise, as they growto adulthood, you'd want to consider other things to determine the sex of people. And straight from the heart, I do not  require a microscope or rocket science to determine the sex of a grown up individual.

Adult men and only for special men will you see break the infancy rule of pink and embrace its true meaning. Study reveals that 80% of men who put on pink color got their way to greatness and success. They probably made as ten times  those who shunned pink.The reason being, it takes a bold man to do pink just as it takes a bold and fearless man to be rich.

Adult men are actually masculine, have beard and their body structure isn't similar to those of ladies and so no color would identify them. They got their own natural identity. And color pink can be used to attract and warmly keep people around you. It makes you easily noticed and as such yo would stand out among others and grasp the opportunity.

Most men who understand color Pink and dresse in it are found attractive and romantic by the opposite sex. it brings harmony in the general look of a man.

This is Straight from The Heart

ANKARA SHOE AND ITS GLOBAL MAGIC

Ankara shoes are gaining popularity in Africa and the outside world like the USA and Britain. The funkiness and leisurely prints of 'the African print fabric answers the better part of that question. However, the comfy and the africanness the ankara shoes bring is unimaginable.
In making the ankara shoes just like all other types, rules must be adhered to. The color- in this case the print and the type of the fabric, the wearer's size of feet, shape and the preference. They may like stiletto heels, jelly, moccasin, Loafers etc.All these must be factored in.
You must also note that on average, the foot of an ordinary male is typically 15.3% of his height, however this will differ slightly due to lifestyle, race and geography.
I made a number of African fabric shoes in June July time last year and I must confess it was for the fun of it. However, my first ankara footwear attracted a number of admirers a lot more that scornful onlookers.  I had broken the assumed fashion law. The fabric of my choice for the footwear was blue, kelly green prints. the suit was a single breast forest-green and 'kitenge-chinese collared white shirt. This to 9me was awesome for office.
The net effect of "ankara Law' was calls and emails of clients which thronged our desk. The store now stocks these shoes and customizes to suit customers' desire.This is magical.  
It doesn't suffice without the mention of other magical  benefits  of these shoes>>>>>>>
Away from the imagination that  they wear out easily, the ankara shoes are actually durable, to be precise, the philian made.
They are easy to clean
They are odorless as the whole of it is clothe
They are easy to match thanks to multiple prints
They are quite affordable. They go for between Kes 1200-3000 only
They represent the footprints of Africa.
Customers orders in display
break the assumed Fashion Law today


That single shoe you called for

A walk in Africa with Theo

Dec 2015
My son Theo turns 4 years on the day of this photo. Adorned in African fabric and colors, they take a walk in the street of Nairobi in a sunny afternoon with his mother, Lilian.
Just on the right hand side of  the Lilian is Awino. Theo and Lilian's hands are clinched together as they take a saunter down the street. They are not dressed unless its Kitenge, the face of African Fabric, the fashion and style that defines us.
We all have to be proud of our continent, our color and our way of life.
Back home I waited  calmly for the beautiful people to arrive. I couldn't do without the African touch in my shirt and pants.

I was composing this poem as they came

My fingers linger on screen so keen
Like the steps of yo feet in the street
Yo eyes see the blue sea we will swim
Bring no whim, lets break the barrier
Kutenda ni kitenge....sasa  tumetenga .
The O is Theo O give to Okech.

Look Good without robbing the Bank

Hello and welcome back to my blog..... It becomes very hard for most gentlemen to acknowledge their wardrobe elegance until few complements come along. As it may be one of the ways to actually impart confidence in the wearer, s/he still have to keep it simple and cheaper. 
A simple Italian non plaited pants that are fitting and white in color worn with black shirt + black light pointed boots  brings irresistible taste of a formal gentleman. trust me this is so simple and affordable but so expensive in the face of viewers.
Lets get down to cost: (exclusive of other accessories)
White pant: Kes 1300      
Black shirt: Kes 1300
Boots         Kes 1800-3000
Total(the least) Kes 4400
Congrats @ only Kes 4400 you are tailor-made to look fabulous


The other  awesome less costly-elegant and comfortable wear comes with a pair of white khaki + zip neck African print. Off office it works with either white loafers or rubbers as i this case.

UNITED BY FABRIC:Nigerian meets a Kenyan 'sister'



What is magic to the world is that everybody has at least a look-alike sister or brother. Thanks to media for the magical  re-union of search individuals. #Oge Okoye, a gorgeous Nigerian actor found her look-alike in Kenyan based upcoming fashion designer and model #Lilian Akinyi.

These two  siblings from different worlds share the following similarities
They both have skinny oval shaped faces
They are both tall about 5"9
They both have heart shaped hips
They are both trendy in fashion
They both fancy teddy bears
Miss Oge Okoye and her younger 'sister' Lilian Akinyi would walk in the streets of any city in the world and either of their parents would be blamed for this similarity. What is amazing is that they have never come any closer to each other.
More photos of the two>>>>>>>

THE MAGIC OF AFRICAN LOVE LIES IN OUR FABRIC

For many years we (Africans) have borrowed stylish fashion from the west. Not bad.We had not realized that what they have we already got. Time passed by and here we are. Nobody in Africa today wants to step outside the door without the sense of African identity. 
wafula showing love to Wandeti

Build the house of my love
Abong'o Okech in Love
That we dwelleth me and you
Cover me with garment of bliss
Made from Mama's fabric
So call me Eric from Ulanda,
Its in Africa....Panapo  Afya 
With no flaw as Daddy said
It has patterns and prints 
Let the tenderness of African wear
Bless my six pac
And pac(kage)  me a life in yo' abdomen
Not all men see your pretty face
But the African fabric is for Eric 

Get out once more
African streets got Phil and Lil
Wrapped in unending love story
Smile and laughter  of victory
They say Malenge ni kitenge
Really; 

Kitenge chose me and you
Her heart is large enough
No man is left out of her web
Granny and baby smiles
Nowhere but Africa....

BUSTED IN SWAG

I don't teach my son how to leave, what to do and what to become.. maybe because am not a trained teacher or am just too busy for that. life is short .... Live it, be yourself and find one way to inspire the world. I live for my son, I allow him look at me, watch me, learn the way of life.
If i live miserably , so does he. If I live a life of motivation so does he. I swear, I choose the later.
Fashion has become my passion and as such it's been inculcated in him. His DNA can read #fashion.
I just realized  he's in competition, stiff competition against me and the world and so I compiled these photos>>>>
