H&M South Africa Activewear

By

It’s official! H&M has dropped a brand new activewear collection and I’m so thrilled to be part of the squad. Look, it’s #morethanjustactivewear and there is something for everyone! Comfort meets practicality and style with this collection sporting supportive sports bras, comfy hoodies, seamless leggings and more. In case you haven’t popped into your nearest H&M store to check out the new activewear collection, check out the Youtube video linked below which will be a look see/try-on-haul vibe into how the pieces look and how you can play around with the combos. https://youtu.be/VGm8brSDxWQ I love shooting campaigns that speak to everything I’m about. Inclusivity, style and comfort are what spoke to me with this one. I have no doubt you’ll love what you see, especially when you feel this material on your skin. Long story short, we made magic with the incredible squad which includes Lechelle Aldridge, Simhle Plaatjies and…

In his closet

By

So once upon a time, I took a look into baes wardrobe and found myself putting together a couple of looks for… ME! From shirts to bomber jackets, I absolutely love menswear and will definitely be sharing more of such looks. It’s something about the appeal it has and how comfortable and cosy it makes me feel. I’m sure many of you can admit socks and hoodies make top 5 of the list of MUST JACK’s in your mans clothes, especially this winter. This look works perfectly for those lazy days where you want an effortless look which still looks pretty dope. I went super army with this one in my sock boots from Dolce Vita and a unique T-Shirt purchased during a visit to the Johannesburg Zoo. Wild much? “Style is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma. Fashion is something that comes after style. Alternatively, you can pair…

Gert-Johan Coetzee SS17 | Reaching for Dreams

By

I had the lovely opportunity of being exclusively invited to The Saxon for a one of a kind “fashion show” hosted by designer Gert-Johan Coetzee. With only 40 guests invited, we were treated to welcome drinks and eats before being ushered into an intimate auditorium where we were welcomed by the man of the moment himself. Gert went on to give us a brief introduction of his new range of quality handbags and how they’re each uniquely designed to embrace the different lifestyles of a GJC girl. Interesting fact: Gert has stopped using flat patterns and is now creating patterns with fabric which is the French way of doing things. “I really am proud of the quality of these bags and how durable they are, and of course how beautiful the color and rich the leather is.” After all was said and done, the moment had finally arrived… we had…

Behind the look – UFL Feature

By

Hey guys! So I recently had the opportunity of working with head photographer for @72_photography who also has an online magazine called Urban Fashion Lifestyle which he runs with a great team. UFL is an online magazine which truly reflects South African style. With topics ranging from street style to trending looks, conversations with style experts and coverage at fashion weeks, UFL is definitely making moves in the fashion industry. I also genuinely enjoy the platform they afford models to share their “come up” stories. An extension of UFL which is my personal favorite is their YouTube channel. I’ve always connected better to articles with great visuals and personality behind each article, and their YouTube channel offers just that! They have featured quite a few of my personal favorite SA Stylista’s with an interesting take on fashion and creatively allowing for each Stylista to represent themselves and their personal style…

2016/2017 top accessories

By

Hey lovelies, I hope you’ve had a great kick start to the year! Still on style and fashion trends, I’ve decided to share My personal favourite accessories which have closed off the year 2016 and should take 2017 by an even bigger storm. Some may argue that shoes don’t make the cut to be called accessories and are simply an item of clothing, so each to their own on this one. PVC I’ve been about this PVC trend for a while now. From umbrellas to rain coats they’ve always captured my eye and I actually ended up a rain jacket ( which I’ve only ever worn once). Just seeing it hanging in my wardrobe game me the greatest joy! But, right now we’re chatting PVC shoes. This growing trend is quite a tricky one to say the least. It’s NOT for everyone, more especially the boots if you’ve got big…

Shoesday

By

PLUM is a fashion brand that has been supplying South Africa for over 15 years with unique fashion forward footwear. They pride themselves on outstanding quality and the latest international trends adapted to the South African market. I had the opportunity to pick a few pairs to try out. As I step into summer I had to throw in a pair that’s BOLD in color. However, I couldn’t resist selecting some tan shades as you can pull them off with basically every outfit. My favorite staple that everyone should have in their shoe collection, The PLUM Alexis Court Heel. I must admit I was quite torn between choosing black or going bananas with the yellow, I did however end up going with the Fuchsia. It’s basically one of those shoes which you end up buying in every color! The PLUM Lassie Ankle boot is a little more trickier to clean…

Chic Summer

By

We’ve seen a lot of clothing color preference change with each season change. However, it’s the primary colors which have been staples regardless of season. Some of us may have forgotten our primary school teaching of what primary colors are, so let’s refresh. Any of a group of colours from which all other colours can be obtained by mixing. The primary colors are respectively Red, Blue and yellow. All other colors of the rainbow are a combination of these primary colors. Season in, season out, these colors have remained a large part of everyones wardrobe – young and old. Primary colors are chic and fun to play around with whether worn alone as staple as or within a splash of other colors. So go on and have yourself a colorful summer!

Superbold

By

This season for me is something really special. I have made the conscious decision of being bold about everything I do, even in my quite moments.   I put together this look not only with BOLD in mind in its physical appearance but how this look made me feel too. I’m so obsessed with these pants I purchased at Topshop more especially because I can dress them up or down. I once wore them with sneakers and a crop top for a sports luxe look and it worked perfectly well! I decided to try styling myself differently this time around and I must say, this look came together even better than I ever could have imagined it would. I also really enjoy the texture of the pieces I am wearing, mesh being my favorite of all time ( closely competing with suede ).   This is definitely a…

Mission BOLD: Worth the investment. #BringOutYourBold

By

#Affiliate Mission BOLD: Invest in YOU. Guys, who doesn’t I love surprises? I sure do! Look at the fabulous one that just arrived on my doorstep! This gorgeous Labello pack includes the whole range so that I’m properly spoilt with variey, as well as the fierce newcomer to the family – Labello Blackberry Shine. This darker shade of fruity has a message:BRING OUT YOUR BOLD. This struck a chord and got me thinking; what is it really to be BOLD? The most famous of all brand call to actions has got to be “Just Do It” – three little words that have gotten into millions of people’s heads and shaped their lives! I won’t focus on the brand, but rather look into the concept – what is it about “just doing it” that makes us feel so empowered, even invincible? I would definitely say that it’s the raw sense…
