One to Watch: Victoria Kimani

Last week, I had the pleasure of spending my evening hanging out with Kenyan singer/songwriter, Victoria Kimani and her wonderful team.

If you're confused as to who Victoria Kimani is, here is some footage to enlighten you.

Kenya's newest rising star also spoke to Dj Jam Jam on his radio show, video of that in depth interview below.

WishLust: Bring on the Sunny Days

The sun is finally out and so the winter clothes are put away and the legs and shorts are out. It's almost holiday season too. (FINALLY!) And with the change in seasons, comes some alternations in Lost in Talent, I've decided to share my online wardrobe (mostly to tumblr), by creating a collage of some of the beautiful things I wish I had in my wardrobe.

And slyly making outfits out of clothes I want so that when I do get them, I know what to pair them with. Avoiding the 'I have nothing to wear looking into a wardrobe full of clothes moment.'

Here is the first installation. Hope you enjoy:

At the Beach: 

1. Leandra Bright White £195
2. Bailey Rhett straw hat £49
3. Aqua Cady ShortsAqua Cady Shorts by Alice + Olivia £145
4. Ring Sandal £160
Added Bonus: a nice little canvas like bag which will hold the bikini (if it's not under the attire already)

Out and About: Day time

1. Moonstruck bag by Rebecca Minkoff
2. Crew Neck Top OR Mina Lace Blouse
3. Elga Black Pony Flats with Red Suede Piping
4.Blue Cubes And Heart Zip Pants or 5.Cream Eyelet Pants
For a night look, replace the Rebecca Minkoff bag with a cute clutch.

Fashion 101: The Jumpsuit Saves Lives

We've all been in situations where you're invited out but not given an exact dress code (and if you haven't? Give it time). When something isn't dress coded, it's a bigger panic than the 'Oh I have nothing to wear -usually looking into a wardrobe full of clothes' moment. It's the 'what's appropriate for this' scare.

You don't want to do too much and wear something like the Summer Crepe Gather detail dress below to a casual thing.

And you don't want to not do enough and pull just a pair of jeans out (even though that could be worked either way).

In Photos: The Editeur's Fashion Dinner

Last week, I was invited to dine with Chester based fashion retailer, The Editeur (who you'll be seeing more of on lostintalent) and friends. The night was a combination of great laughs, amazing people, delicious food and ample wine, topped off with a fashion showcase.

Here are some photos of the night, from the backstage action to the actual show and a few cheeky snaps of the food served.

Check out the lostintalent Facebook page for more photos.

Thank you Adam for having me.

Designer Lust: Gestuz

Sharing is caring! It is the basis of many relationships in my life. And the theme which Lostintalent is currently built on. So I guess I have to apologise for not caring, of late. 

Back in January, when I made that extremely surreal journey to Dutchland! Yes, Amsterdam Fashion Week. I saw and fell head over heels in love with a brand called Gestuz. 

Close Up from the Blow PR press day

Gestuz is the definition of what I am about right now, its all about an indie, rock star feel with extreme details-I'm talking beautiful beautiful use of leather and edge in design. 

I was so far in lust with Gestuz that I decided not to share with you, because I wanted to get a piece before everyone else. Selfish. I know. But I've decided to share a few photos now (even though I am still Gestuz-less!)
