Red Alert

By Thandolwethu Tsekiso October 23, 2017

I’ve never been brave enough to wrap myself up head to toe in such a daring color! However, for the color series, Junia Tsekiso (creative director for this shoot) had me well out of my comfort zone.Of all the looks we played around with, this one in particular is definitely my top favorite! I loved the fact that we were playing around with denim, and not just any basic denim denim. The sleeves of the jacket add much character to the overall look which makes this outfit particularly a great pick when you want to go for an effortless look. I wore both the top and pants for this combo, but if it’s all too overwhelming for you, you can wear the pieces separately. Look, I’m saying why not go on and be BOLD for a change. Summer is knocking at the door and red is definitely top of the list…

Simplicity with an edge

By Thandolwethu Tsekiso May 31, 2017

Whether you’re headed off to the the movies or stepping out for Friday night festivities with the ladies, a humble white T and a pair of blue jeans are the perfect go to for a simple look. Both items are not only versatile, but they have a cool and easy going feel to them. However, I have decided switched up the concept of a humble white T and jeans for a little bit of an edgy look which also adheres to current trends and is perfect for any season! “I have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity.” – Yves Saint Lauren Let’s take a moment and explore the variety of denims currently making waves in the market. For one, ripped/distressed jeans are definitely a thing! Another personal favorite…

Mommied Up

By Thandolwethu Tsekiso October 1, 2016

One of the fashion trends which have had a well deserved resurrection is undoubtedly the mommy jean. After dying out of the fashion scene 20 years ago, their comeback has been one of the strongest and most consistent I have ever seen. Mommy jeans are constantly being revamped to the current trends but are yet to lose their essence – comfort – which is why we truly love them. Not only do they sit so well on the natural waistline (which makes me wonder about waist-trained waists), what’s not to love about a good pair of blue wash denims which guarantee a good tummy tuck? When I read up further on this fashion must-have, I realized how controversial their return actually was and the big message to them around ones sexuality and embracing ones current body shape. A rather unsettling comment I just had to share: “Mom jeans are designed…

The Blues

By Thandolwethu Tsekiso April 28, 2016

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…
