And, what better way to round up the perfect look? With the perfect African hair style of course! Winter is upon us with its dry and unforgiving cold weather. So, this is the perfect time to explore with your African hairstyles which give you enough cover up and lock in the moisture so as to not leave your hair breaking. The latest and most recurring fashion trend has been that of embracing Africa and its many cultures. From the likes of Boity, Nomzamo Mbatha, Pearl Thusi and Nandi Mngoma, we have seen them very effortlessly strut red carpets in African designs (and or fabrics) which take from cultures from all over Africa. “You have to have fun with your hair…

Fashionably late

By

Well , what I’m about to type out has nothing to do with fashion / what I’m wearing in this post but still has everything to do with ME ! On my previous blog I always had posts up of my thoughts and what not , and I really don’t want to dispose of that part of me and being able to share it on my public platforms. So I’m right back ! Anyway , here’s a bit of ME right now: At no point is the position you are in of no contribution to your growth . At every stage of your life , the position you are in is for you to be of service , to a bigger picture than yourself . And from serving come lessons and furthermore growth. The very growth which you require to fully take advantage of and be “ready ” to handle…

Court

So , I had to pump the brakes on the black pumps and try myself with a fresh pair of white pumps. Quite a tricky shoe color to pair with a black dress and still not have it look like a uniform , right ?! I really enjoy the fit , texture and look of this black cotton dress. Simply because it appears to be a two piece when it’s really a one piece. It also has a cute open back detail which shows a bit of skin , just enough as it already is really short ! To accessorize I threw on a warm red faux fur stole , pearl bracelet and matching neck piece for a classy , cute , trendy Durban winter look.

#OOTD

So I have had the absolute pleasure once again of working with the newly re branded The Fix of The Foschini Group. This time around I had to create the perfect #OOTD look. From researching current trends , to trying to keep it as simple , relevant and relateable as can be . Putting together my look worked out trickier than most would imagine . Accessories are EVERYTHING at achieving the perfect edgy look. You can shop my entire look from The Fix  #TheFixZA_OOTD – Black peep toe suede boots with eyelets for the edgy look – Choker with black fringe for the sass – Black leather bag with chunky chain detail which you can rock as a clutch / sling bag Photographer : @Innographer

Coated Up

By

It’s that time of the year once again where it starts getting a bit more chilly and the coats and jackets come out to play. Personally , Autumn and Winter are my favorite seasons because of the fashion  . For now , having not fully stepped into the Winter season ( Esp. Durban ) , it’s always worked out best to have a light coat / jacket to throw over when the weather switches up on you. Something light which also doesn’t kill your outfit. So I have decided to share with you images of me taken not so long ago  in a few coats which really won me over.

The Blues

By

The Monday blues is what they’re called but I sure am one to experience Friday Blues , where the weekend seems so far but yet so close and you just can’t wait for the working day to end. This is a feeling surely experienced by every single one of us as we reminisce on the memories made from our past weekend looking forward to the wonderful adventures of the one to come. This look is perfect at depicting that lazy effortless “Friday Blues ” mood for your day to day movements on campus or in the office . A pair of sandals or preferred style of high heels carry this image  well for the office , or if you’re on campus just throw on some flats ( not pumps – pleaaaaaase !! ) . The shirt offers the button up option but we opted for the unbuttoned look which gives a softer touch to…
