MYLM STYLE: BLANKETS AND WINE NAIROBI

Hello there sweeties and gents! Before I start my post, I hope all our readers in the States (even abroad like me mailing their absentee ballots) got out today and voted! MYLM supports Obama all the way, ya'll know he's my cousin from another mother right? Hehehe...

Anyway, I had such an amazing weekend and of course I had to share some of the greatness that I partook in. On Sunday I went to my first Blankets and Wine© here in Nairobi, a monthly picnic style music festival. This month the event coordinators brought out soul singer Dwele, along with other popular African musicians, to rock the stage. I didn't know what to expect but I knew I needed to bring 1. a blanket and 2. some wine! Duh! Check out some cool photos I took while enjoying the ambiance of Blankets and Wine!

Great times indeed! Check out the Blankets and Wine website for more info on their upcoming events!!
