KILSE FASHION is "Where Glamour Begins"

Label:Kilse Fashion

Designer: Alice Kuaban

Style Inspiration:  60s Vintage

Designer Inspiration: Christian Louboutin and Manolo Blahnik

In  3 words...Kilse is Simple - Stylish - Sophisticated.

"I have always had a huge admiration for the style and fashion of the 60s, simply because of the grace, elegance and sophistication that each outfit presented. My own personal style in actuality epitomizes vintage fashion. By using the style of the 60s as a platform for my collection, I was able to create pieces that every young professional lady can feel confident, sophisticated and sexy in."

ATTENTION TO DETAIL..the form fitting silhouette, the surprising open back, the placement of rhinestones, etc, are a few of the intricate details that incorporates in her designs to provide a modern twist while staying true to the vintage style.

Every piece in is either design by our vintage designer or created as a result of a collaboration with foreign designers.The online store came to life 9 months ago, but the creative and planning process my creations started in early 2010.

"In my opinion today's young working ladies are constantly looking for versatile outfits that would portray their gracefulness in a work environment, and yet still being chic for a night out in the town with friends. Factors which I believe I did my best to accomplish in this collection"

HER GOAL & VISION: To provide young working class ladies  adaptable, conservative, yet sophisticated outfits that can be transformed from day to night.

Her collection includes handbags, jewelry, shirts, jackets,blazers and dresses.

Here are a few pictures of her recent fashion show in MD.

Enjoy....

This young talented smart lady is up to something great!!Keep up the great work Alice.....

Giving Back: AMOM CHARITY's Sponsorship Drive...

"That best portion of a good man's life; his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love"...William Wordsworth (English Poet)

"Amom" in Lamnso means "Try". "Awamom" means..."Let's try".."Amomi"..means.."You are trying"...Hopefully you get the drift..lol!

Amom Charity's Sponsorship drive for the 2012 academic year
"Did you know that with $105.00, you can sponsor an orphan or vulnerable child for 2012 academic year with books, tuition and health insurance all included?
There are over 2,000 orphans and vulnerable children who cannot afford any form of education in the Bui and Donga Mantung Division in Cameroon.Vulnerable kids are either orphans or kids who have lost a parent to HIV/AIDS.

Our goal is to sponsor 100 children for the 2012 academic year.

As part of our effort to raise funds towards this cause, I am taking on a major first time challenge to skydive from over 10,000 feet in Tandem.

Please sponsor me by contributing towards this noble cause and also spread the word"

......THE LAND OF A 1000 HILLS.....

This is my first "Travel Experience" blog post.I just had to share my experience in " the land of a thousands hills"....Rwanda!!

I arrived Rwanda on August 12th 2011. It was probably my best immigration experience to date. With a pre-entry visa and $50 less than 10 minutes later I had a 30 day visa! The immigration officers were polite, courteous and very curious about my reason of entry. My response: To visit a friend..."Welcome to Rwanda.. Enjoy your stay.I hope you like our beautiful country ".I even learnt how to greet in the local language. "Kinyarwanda"......"...Bitey"..Response: "...Biza...". It turned about to be an activity packed 10 days!!

Please don't get me started on the "contritok matter"..lol...I was shocked that the whole country of about 11 million speaks the same language!! The official language was recently changed from French to English. The president decided to align the country with East Africa. Talk about a radical and major change...especially in Education!!If you ask me...it is sort of bilingual!!

During my stay I kept asking....What does Rwanda have? I did not get any convincing answers.."hmmm...a good part of the government's revenue is made from taxes", "Tea, Coffee", " ..hmmm...a bit of Tourism....the mountain Gorrilas..."

What impressed me about Kigali (and Rwanda as a whole!)

The organization & infrastructure: clean streets, good roads, nice buildings. The district with the state/gov't buildings is off the hook to say the least! Plastics bags are not allowed in Rwanda...You get a brown paper bag instead!!That partly explains the cleanliness of the streets!

Bike (aka bend skin, okada) drivers wear a coat with an ID number clearly marked. The bike driver and passenger wear helmets!!!

The building/construction Style...Q: Whats up with Zinc in Cameroon? hahaha! On a serious note though...I loved the building/construction style in Kigali..very modern and some houses still had the "African touch"....

The 3 hr ride to Gisenyi was very scenic..All soo familiar....the landscape....hills, tea plantations, pyramid shaped roff tops etc etc. (Trips to Bamenda, Buea??lol) .I really enjoyed my stay at Lake Kivu Serena Hotel..Customer Service,Check.Rooms,Check. Food, Check. Scenery. Check..Lake Kivu is the sixth largest lake in Africa!Lake big sotey..lol...

I think despite the country's history i.e. the 1994 genocide, it is picking up quite well..atrracting returnees from left right and center, tourists, investors, expatriates..etc. Apparently it is the "Model for Africa" for some organizations..

Here is my picture story..Enjoy!

Kigali

Houses, houses and more houses in K!

En route to Gisenyi

Lake Kivu Serena Hotel

If you are thinking about an East African tour...add Rwanda to your list!!OK..Rwanda's unofficial tourism Ambassador...lol..
Where Next? Kenya? Uganda? Tanzania?

TGIT - Thank God it's Thursday...Have a nice weekend.
