MAASAI MARKET (part 1)

Hi...

The past weekend i went home and on Saturday i spent the better part of my day at the Maasai market. the last time i was there i was probably in high school which is like seven years back and you know that's way back. The market has not changed a lot but i assure you it was worth the visit. I am particularly very proud of how diverse it has become with all sorta people being seen. it was previously the Jua Kali sorta environment but i got to meet artists that were there not to just sell and go home but meet their customers, hand over business cards and also get orders from their customers. the market/ industry has improved people :)

I actually will share more pictures on the same Day with more details. questions for any one interested are welcomed (just leave a comment or email me)



My favorite necklaces
Ksh. 3000 ( 35$)

steel, brass and copper Earrings.

Key Holders

 I almost bought this paintings but my cash in hand wasn't enough to even bargain, plus who bargains paintings?


maa' women were not left behind, i expected to find many of this cultured women but i only spotted a few.


Key rings, necklaces, hair clips, bangles and necklaces.
key rings (key holders) are my favorite.
price range Ksh. 250 ( 3$ )


This resemble the ones awarded to Kenya Blog Awards Winners right?

PS. i want to be nominated in  2015 (short term Dream)

This were the most beautiful stones i came across.


Thank you so much for stopping by

It's always my pleasure to share with everyone my beautiful culture (my country's culture)

Keep in touch always.

XOXO

PATRICIA KIHORO

hae my loves...

Today i feature Patricia Kihoro that according to most of my viewers is the star of African Jewelry/ fashion as voted on the just concluded poll on my blog. i featured her on the poll because i also think her style celebrates African culture in her own way which i really like.

photo credits: Google,her Instagram account and her blog that i think she should just get back on.



She is a Kenyan based actress, performing artiste, and radio personality and  Psychology student at Moi University.
She actually made that hair piece... #love

  


Most of us probably got to know Ms. Kihoro during and after her participation in tusker project fame3, where she emerged a finalist, as well as the all stars tusker project fame edition.
performing at blankets and wine with Ms. Amelina in the background.

she has been nominated for a 2014 Kalasha Award for Best Lead Actress in a TV Drama.
I SO LOVE THAT NECK PIECE, if she does a give away of it please make her pick me :)

Rocking an Egyptian head piece that i absolutely love. :)


Life in the single lane is probably one of the search result you will get on searching Patricia Kihoro. i have not had the opportunity to attend her show, which just so you know have always been sold out :)


She is now back on radio, anchoring the news on HBR 103.5, and hosting a Saturday show called AfroCentral. another reason to celebrate this beautiful African lady :)

 Patricia has also dedicate her time to the rape awareness organization, “NO MEANS NO”. what better way to give back to the African girls that look up to her?

LASTLY..... Her rendition of sauti sol NISHIKE

PS. you will smile :)
