2010 archive Lately I’ve been uploading some of my 2010 looks on lookbook. While going through my old looks it hit me how my style has changed, from playing more with the colors , styles and fabrics earlier, to be going along some kind of safe track now a days. I feel re-inspired. And I’m seriously considering cutting my hair into this length again. And and oh, how I look forward to spring!
The next event on our schedule was to visit the Serengeti National Park, where we spotted all sorts of animals except from the rhino. It was amazing. To see the animals in their natural surroundings was really something special. We also slept in camps out in the wild. One in Serengeti, and the other (pictured above) right outside. I wish I took photos from the one inside the park, but I was way too exhausted. In the night we heard the howl of hyenas, and at one time some animals walked alongside of my tent wall during the night, making it bend in, to my horror. Some said they heard lions outside their tent as well, so I suspect that the visitors by my tent were either lions or hyenas, but I’ll never know. After our stay in Anakwana the students coupled up to stay with one Tanzanian family each in the village. This I will come back to in the following Tanzania post.

H&M hat | American Apparel sleeveless shirt | Lindex cardigan | Secondhand vest | Cheap Monday pants | Bianco boots | Morris tote From summer appropriate to winter warm. Bah. Most of all I want to run around sleeveless, but this cozy wool cardigan I found on sale almost makes the cold worth it. Almost.
American Apparel sleeveless shirt | DIY denim vest Yesterday I pulled out an old denim vest I purchased in a secondhand store years ago. I’ve never used it, as the sleeves were too loose for my liking. By cutting off the sleeves it turned into a very nice denim vest instead, which I believe will be well used this spring and summer.
Monki dress | Secondhand belt, bag and denim shirt One of my outfits in Nairobi. The snow hit town yesterday, and wearing something like this seems so surreal. Today I’ve officially started a productive new life. Hah. I’ve slept properly, been to school, read plenty in the afternoon for my final next month, and now I’m about to hit the gym. Somehow by writing this here I hope that I’ll feel obligated to continue in the same manner in the future.
Necklace from Haydom – Tanzania This is the necklace I purchased from the blacksmith in Haydom, which I photographed in the “Haydom”-post below. His craftwork is stunning. He made it by using just some sort of metal hammer, a stone and a small fire that he made from scratch. Impresssive. The blacksmith we visited in Haydom is on the lowest range of social class in Haydom, so nobody will let their sons marry his daughters. Still they all need his products. More Posts
