Too cool for school!

This outfit was born of a bad hair day, a freebie Tshirt I have been wanting to wear for a while and a faux leather jacket that I bought at a vintage thrift store...the result is a what I consider a very cool look.
The Tshirt was a gift from The Stylista at the launch of their website; its designed by the cool Cult Collective. The design of my shirt is a play on Prada...Praduh. Cult Collective is an iconographic Joburg-based clothing brand that merges clashing references in a collage of prints taken from global street culture, art and music; the label was founded by William Ndatila and Miro Bijelich who say they’re trying to break the general mind-set of the local fashion industry. - source 10and5.com
The faux leather jacket is from Hombakazi Vintage Cabin (HVC), a very cute and thrifty vintage store from P.E. that will very soon be on line. Right now they do weekend sales and you can also spot them at craft markets and fairs in JHB and CTN.

The Stylista launch and Luminance Pop up shop

Dear fabulous readers, I have been MIA for a little bit. I promise its been for a good course. I am learning to sew,make patterns and other general dress making skills. I have always wanted to make my own clothes and I am so excited to finally be learning. I'll update you on later posts on my progress.

For now I want to chat about the fabulous happenings of yesterday night. You may have heard about the new South African street style website called The Stylista. Last night The Stylista was being officially launched; fashionisitas everywhere can now register for an account and start sharing their style. I was one of the bloggers who were asked to be part of the The Stylista demo website, it is so exciting to now see the site fully fledged and working beautifully.  All the beautiful stylish people were at the opening together with some of my favorite bloggers.

After the Stylista launch, It was off to the Luminance pop up store in Hyde Park corner. Grazia SA was holding a readers shopping experience at the pop up store. Daniella went through the trends and the shoppers received a 20% discount on all shoes and selected clothing. Cocktails, macaroons, sushi and a brief love affair with a Alexander McQueen gold scull umbrella later I was ready to call it a Tuesday night.

What I wore: I wore my current favorite shirt from Jo Borkett; someone at work told me I look great in my Madiba shirt..lol..Not exactly what I was going for..I paired the eeeerrrrh ..Madiba shirt with a high waist skirt and a jacket with shades of tweed and leather.
