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…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcnfWQLlNDA&t=451s The MANTSHOxHM collaboration has been of particular interest to me since the very minute it was announced to be in the works. I couldn’t quite place my finger on exactly how the collaboration would translate to global markets, yet still remain true to the core values of the Mantsho brand, African prints and textures. However, Ihat I did know was that Africa was ready! On a fine Wednesday night, I missioned to Victoria Yards, which mind you, I’d never been to before. It seemed like quite a random location for such an occasion. However, because I know just how well researched and strategic the H&M team is when it comes to creating a full on brand experience, I knew it would be a night to remember! Once people had settled into the venue and had the opportunity to view the highly aticipated MantshoxHM pieces , we got an electric celebratory…
Hey guys! So I had the lovely opportunity to attend an exclusive preview the new Studio Collection at the H&M showroom in Cape Town. Unfortunately, I was unable to make the event, but I still made sure I got the scoop for you from the H&M PR team as to what you can expect from the collection.H&M STUDIO WOMENSWEAR AW17: URBAN SOPHISTICATION “This collection is all about tailoring, enhancing the female silhouette. While there are ultra-feminine details, we’ve combined them with street or punk influences for a hard-edged yet sophisticated result,” says Pernilla Wohlfahrt, H&M’s Head of Design and creative director. This range boasts a solid color palette. Black, white, navy, earthy hues, grey melagne and pops of Klein blue and burgundy. Ps: I know for sure those with a minimalistic aesthetic will be quite pleased with what’s in store for them. What I can personally say about this range is…
I recently did a Sports Glam photoshoot with People Magazine which I absolutely loved! I embraced the fusion of my two loves – sports and fashion – and couldn’t have asked for a better shoot. I have been playing sports for as long as I can remember: from being the only girl on the field playing mini cricket at tournaments during primary school, right up to being Vice-Captain of the KZN touch rugby team. Sports has done so much in building my character – and being my “escape”. It saved me from getting into a whole lot of trouble and instilled in me such critical life values, and that is why I’ve decided to go all Sport on you for this blog post. In the new age South Africa, where we speak so proudly of our growth and economic transformation, we thus have the responsibility to grow, nurture as well…
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…
