Having recently switched up the location to Johannesburg, I’ve had to adjust to the cold weather this side of life. The very first thing I had to come to terms with was that I need to start getting used to wearing socks and stop being childish and waking up with no socks on. Needless to say, I’m yet to master that art! Anyway, I’ve also had to let go of a lot of my pretty dresses and get to wearing more jeans and track pants. I recently came across these track pants from The Fix and absolutely loved them. Obviously they remind me of the Adidas three stripe track pants I’ve been postponing getting for myself. I mean, I actually really don’t have any clothes to “chill-out” in while still looking cute. While many may not know, there’s actually a difference between joggers and track pants. Track pants ( Tracksuit…
Before we dip into the grunge which is winter (my favorite season), I thought to myself why not play around with a bit more of a brighter look? This dress definitely braugh the out the kid in me as it boasts a combination of my favorite colors during childhood. These colors are quite fruity and allow a bit of a flirty appeal – You’re sure to get a nod from your peers with this one! What I’m also really into right now are well designed garments. Garments which appeal to my desire for simplicity in my personal style and give me that everyday practicality. My favorite thing about this dress is that it adds a bit of personality to the look with its play with length in the front. And ooh, those straps give the perfect lift off after the subtle V-plunge. I paired this look with my sling clutch and heels from Charles & Keith.…
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…
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…
Hey guys! I got the wonderful opportunity to feature on Icekream mag and share with their readers my 7 day style diary. I’ve attached a link below for your reading pleasure, I hope you enjoy! 🙂 Each of my looks are inspired by each days planned activities over and above how I feel that day, because feelings are temporary and impressions are ever lasting. http://icekream.co.za/2016/11/15/style-diary-thandolwethu-gagasi-fms-fashion-contributor/
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!
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…
#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…
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…
In fashion, I believe there has been such a huge misconception around looking great and the influence your “pocket” has on this. So, I have compiled a few simple pointers to help us as ladies figure out the answer to the million dollar question of: How to look A-List on a budget? Where to shop : Your Closet You definitely need to make the first stop in your closet! Clean UP and clean OUT. You’re likely to find quite a few hidden jewels you may have overlooked before. In the same breath, you may also find pieces you totally find no longer speak for and express your current personal style.With so many trends popping up, why not make your own trend? You can also get your hands dirty and up cycle key items in your wardrobe into something beautiful. Up cycling is after all the new wave of sustainable fashion.…
