My ex-boyfriend, half of the reason for the unexpected pregnancy, and I had issues with our relationship I hadn’t yet found a place of my own, so I was being sheltered by my streaked parents. I called him, “Obviously he took things light” I called my best friend (and yes she was shocked). I called my therapist. And then I called Planned Parenthood. I had over a week to decide what I wanted to do. I made an appointment for an abortion in one week in case that was what I ended up going with...

FASHION TRENDS TO FOLLOW DURING COLD SEASON
Synonymous with the wet weather, dressing and looking great can be such a hard task.
A trench coat is one staple of a smart wardrobe,but particular pertinence this season. The rains keep on coming and remaining vaguely put together can big a really big problem .
Well when it comes to wearing it this week,its all about belting it and keeping the rain out. you'll probably need to accessorize it with an umbrella that goes with it....we also suggest wearing those autumn boots you should be buying just about now with it too....
There are probably those odd moments to wear it undone or tied artisticallyso as to make a splaying blouse construction at the top,a pleated skirt just peeking out from the trenchhem below will look seasonally studious.
Length can be a bit tricky thats why i would suggest denim pants.trench has always been beneath it all....A trench is way too step forward and makes one stand out from the crowd.

Classic looks can be a hard task to pull..Especially on those lazy days of summer that can make a business suit feel very uncomfortable, a classic Jamdown look can work best.
Fortunately with Jamdown looks and the best stylist ever you can still pull a professional statement and still beat the heat with the cool and outstanding looks ..

Talk about casual business wear, I know Y'all think casual means jeans pants,sneakers,t-shirts etc..naah you can still pull a cool relaxed outstanding look
Business casual is a relaxed version of official dressing as they call it.This may include chino pants buttons-down shirts,linen,polo etc...
As acceptable as it is, business casual attire may vary from industry to industry or office to office, it is of importance to very well know your fashion sense ,style and work place.
Well with all this said we can't forget that not everyone is gifted at styling and identifying what can or cannot,with a good stylist all looks good all looks fly.
Talk about great stylist Dwayne Shapper a Jamdown looks empire stylist,who is one of the greatest and most talented around EastAfrica,can make you look great and rock the cities with the best designs..we've seen him do it on various celebrities and so far he is making Kenya in specific look awesome in the fashion world...Dwayne is one great fashionista turning Nairobi into a fashion hub.......
Much said on that I gladly name him the swagg papa ......
