Lunch date look

By

If there’s one thing I love to accessorize with it’s a great pair of sunnies. They’re basically the statement maker to any look you’re trying to achieve. Plus, we survive some days of the week with Coffee and sunglasses right?! My selection is very often the blacks and other neutral tones. However, with this outfit in mind, I decided to throw on a pair of Gucci shades. These babies have the right amount of tint on the lenses, enough for me to still remain in my safe zone as well as remain “accessible” to those I’m engaging with. As you can tell, this is definitely a lunch with the girls kind of outfit – the perfect day time look. I purchased the top from The Fix, under their newly launched New Lust Haves campaign. Everything is quite “Eastern dreamy” from this range. With pieces ranging from luxe kimonos, embroidery denim,…

DKNY #AlwaysBeDelicious

By

I simply could not contain my excitement when I was granted the pleasure of collaborating with my all-time fave, DKNY Be Delicious. More than anything, I could not wait to share my experience of the fragrance as well as converse with other lovers of the fragrance. As previously mentioned, the DKNY Be Delicious scent is refreshing, but it also has an air of bold sophistication. The magic of DKNY Be Delicious is in how it makes me FEEL: in control. When wearing it, I feel unstoppable and ready to take on the concrete jungle that is Johannesburg as well as explore beyond my current environment and horizons. Just one spritz, and my mood shoots from zero to hero in a matter of seconds – it literally makes me feel delicious! Quite a key element for me is the packaging. The shape is very contemporary, and although round, its  perfectly compact…

Simplicity with an edge

By

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…

#EdgarsBallito Store Opening

By

It is without a doubt that the South African retail industry is also going through its highs and lows. With a trend of stores opening and closing down soon after, the question definitely arises as to WHY this is the case. Stores closing down is due to things such as not doing enough market research or poor supply chain management. On the other hand, we’ve definitely seen some stores flourish and spread right throughout the country. Amongst these stores is namely Edgars , which has been played it very smartly and houses numerous other brands such as Forever New. The most recent store opening is the Edgar’s Ballito, and that’s what US fashionistas are more concerned about! The first thing which comes to mind are the opening specials/deals which may be, YES! I’ve compiled some tips and tricks to shopping at a SALE or store OPENING. 1. Be sure to arrive in…

Floral Affair

By

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.…

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!
