2012-01-01T02:58:00.000-08:00

What can i say about my 2011, am super grateful!

It is 2011 thanks to Allah the almighty, and my Hubby, I am now Mama Nasri... He is a healthy boy I am grateful.

It is 2011 thanks to Allah the most rewarding, my Mother (education is power syndrome she injected in me) and my Employer thats UDSM, I have enrolled for M.A full funded.

It is 2011 thanks to Allah the most merciful, My Family, and Friends, i have moved my Fashion studio at home where i work closer to my Son and earn enough to support extra expenses and grow my interprenual skills.

I am grateful to each of you who make impact to my life in 2011!
Zaidi is on takeoff gear for 2012
I love you all so very much, and Thank you!

Yes, its long!

2011-12-07T15:40:00.000-08:00

The last time I had a long dress to an occasion was on my wedding day, a year and plus now.... So this is what I have been missing in my looks?! I loved myself... Its black crash and a golden see through stiff material!

My Asia, Bet you can all see "The More Factor' in her, the dress is responsible!

Its black stretched satin and gold sequence.

Zaidi's impression of Lanvin

2011-12-05T12:15:00.000-08:00

Need I say more? Well if you think i should, I love Lanvin and Cynthia love Beyonce, so with this copy I got to go into Lavlin mind and Cynthia got Beyonces' look, fair deal. Hopeful its not copy righted, nitafungwa here and now!

Red Ribbon Fashion Gala :2011

2011-12-05T11:59:00.000-08:00

The above three were my pieces that Zaidi was represented with. Still insist on dressing your neck, its actually sexy, dont you agree especially if you have the long one?

Yaani,, i didn't know I had all these flowers on me, loved myself though!

8020's B2A

2011-11-04T14:36:00.000-07:00

Two of the many that i made for the day...

In different way they look adorable,

well that's is just how Zaidi can work for you,

No changes is necessary,

Zaidi will just define you in what you wear and look gowjus!

8020

2011-11-04T14:21:00.000-07:00

Yeah, thats me at the Back 2 Africa day by 8020 of Shamim Zeze! Simplicity always works for me, but for the day, just thought to add into it, where else could I add colors than on my Kitenge skirt...

Just went a little bit over board with the bangles! loved the mixture on Gold and Silver and the ethinicity transilated in woods and iron!

Before I had a baby there is no way am going out without my heels, but now a days there is no way am wearing heels when am going out unless its super important for me to stand high! Napenda kuzurura vizuri siku hizi as am almost a home mommy so when I do it I love to do it comfortably, then flats works for me!

Mommy in the making

2011-11-04T03:56:00.000-07:00

Can you tell? no you cant, baby on board and still fabulous!

Thanks to social media I met this fashionista...

Am honored to dress Cynthia Masasi in her Mahali day...

The material is Silk Chiffon mix Kitenge, the color is so rich and rare that went well with her skin tone, the design is full glomour for a lady in maternity!

Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful!

Simply Zaidi

2011-10-27T13:46:00.000-07:00

Why I love and do what I do?

The answer is simple, its just because

I do it BEST with the MORE factor!

Simply Zaidi...

Blue and Yellow

2011-10-09T15:10:00.000-07:00

She had an amazing Kitenge,

and am happy for myself, i worked it...

the blue and yellow was perfect...

when the bride had all the blue i made sure the maid of honor made her turn with yellow!

Just one word, STUNNING!

Gosh, I love my job.....

The beauty bride

2011-10-09T14:36:00.000-07:00

yes, beauty bride no mistake there, she ain't the beauty queen in most of us definition but she certainly the beauty bride, and it was a honor to dress her for her kitchen party when she was transformed from the girl we use love to the a women we all adore.

What kept me busy 2

2011-10-09T12:48:00.000-07:00

Just story behind dresses...

The SendOff dress was of Aqua blue and Pink, this is a dress for beach weddings but my SendOff was a Garden party so what a heck, they are all out door events, you dont have to tell me I was stunning!

It takes a real man to wear Pink, my man is a real man, there he goes shining in pinky!

Akdi dress was as Green as the Suna goes!

The Gold one, Mustafa's brand la kutokea atii...
Felt a million dollar Gold myself!

Now comes the reception... Waoh, Gold and Hot Pink was the color!We all know what is behind the white dress, and i was so not close to you know what, So the Off White was a good option, mix it with gold was classy!

What kept me busy!!!

2011-02-07T04:19:00.000-08:00

Its your day, if you are happy am Happier

2010-06-03T05:33:00.000-07:00

Original Zaidi to its best, Bridal shower glamour.

Its Satin and Kitenge,

Kitenge, one of its kind in colors, prints and texture.

Quality was of its standard,

that matches the elegancy of the bride

in this case Judith and Matron Anitha.

To give out that shout but keeping it classy,

Electric blue was one Zaidi adviced actually persuade

to be used from all the colors in the Kitenge.

And Electric blue defined very well the skin tone,

of none other than the lady of the hour!

Zaidi na Zaidi... you too can have this look

Finally...

2010-06-03T05:13:00.000-07:00

Finally i got the camera,
not the master piece but
for now it can save the purpose...
Now enjoy Zaidi to its Best!

This is for real!

2010-04-18T11:49:00.000-07:00

Just like this one, am not judging the book by its cover,

but this look more serious, and mean business.

How i want you!

Thats Nikon but it doent have to be Nikon,

Photo Journalists, Fashion Photographers,

and you, if you can help, please hurry.

Yes its portable, and pretty to add to that..

But no. I want the professional one,

the one that it doesnt take just a finger to zoom in/out..

the one that a 5 year old wont be able to use

after a 3 minute elaboration class.

I WANT THE MASTER PIECE...

caps means am screeming!

Zaidi wanna make a comeback!!

2010-04-18T06:42:00.000-07:00

Zaidi in Lady in Red

2010-02-09T01:20:00.000-08:00

Zaidi, need to say more!? Well that was thhe sweet me at the Lady in Red fashion show, mini dress, soo short for the Tutor, cover up with my black over the ankle leggigs and offcourse, my ankle boots.

It was such a day for me, and by the way...

the sports person was at last in the fashion show, how lovely!?

Can you imagine that?

Khadija loved it... so were Franko and Kim.

Zaidi left and The Serengeti Ad bride, my Former student and C2C presenter: Irene right.

My beautiful Ankle peep toe boots, i love them so very much, the style, the comfy, and how they let my toes out, so beautiful. I worn them last October, people had no idea of the style, decided to put them on again last satoo, and all eyes were on my pretty feet. I dont think the beauty is all that makes these shoes special, as they were a present... the person who gave me also count.

It was a nice experience kwakweli, it was like showcasing infront the whole Common Wealth Countries, because they were all represented plus JK being there waving the hand at the work of our mind and hands that was a big honor by itself.

Long Live Tanzania Mitindo House!

Designers Shoulder On For Spring

2008-12-14T21:46:00.000-08:00

Skin is in for Spring, but in unexpected, subtle ways. At Balenciaga, dresses were paired with Lurex gloves and shoe-covering tights; only a lone collarbone was left exposed. Meanwhile, the asymmetric evening gowns that have ruled the red carpet for seasons have been replaced by long columns with billowy chiffon sleeves cut to reveal just a flash of the upper arms. Do modest times call for modest dresses? Preen’s Justin Thornton thinks so. “I love how a shoulder can be sexy,” he said. “These outfits have a ‘look but don’t touch’ attitude.”
