Metallics at Work

It has been a gorgeous day in Jo'burg. The sun is out, the birds are chirping and the day is bright. Its hard to believe just a few days ago we were having Winter weather. I wore this to the office; my recently acquired metallic t-shirt ..also my favorite thing right now, I paired it with my beloved Christopher strong pink/purple midi skirt and my forever loved metallic heels.I'm sure you have seen the trend by now, if there is something I really love in my wardrobe..I wear it all the time!

Trending on Fashion blogs today..

Marc Jacobs has quite his Louis Vutton gig after 16 fashionable years. The Huffington post reported that Jacobs is leaving to focus on his own brand. He has been credited with transforming a "stodgy luggage house into a global fashion presence"..so what ever he focuses on next will surely be wonderful.

5 amazing Ankle strap sandals

The must have shoe of Summer 2013 is definitely the ankle strap..whether thin or thick..double or single, this sandal is the item that will help you put the S into Summer. This is the perfect sandal; minimalist, sexy and Summer lightweight.

Lucky for us "lovers of all things fabulous", these beauties are available at all price ranges. You can go designer with Saint Laurent or high street with Steve Madden or even department store with Zoom..there is really an ankle strap for everyone.

In this post I look at 5 of my favorite ankle strap sandals as well as the pricing, hopefully you can find something you like.

1. Saint Laurent
I fell in-love with the ankle strap when I saw Ashley Madekwe wearing this Saint Laurent sandal that is the epitome of simple elegance.

2. Steve Madden
This is my personal favorite- this color is metallic chic, it goes with everything and the medium strap makes this shoe very comfortable.

3. Zoom
This tribal print sandal is a must have for those days when your outfit needs that extra something special. It is sassy monochrome with a comfortable heel- perfect for hot Summer days.

4. Zoom
Another personal favorite of mine..not only is this shoe amazingly priced but its also elegant and oh so delicate, guaranteed to add the right amount of sexy to your outfit.

5. Woolworths
You can always rely on Woolies to be on trend at great prices. This nude sandal with the medium heel can easily be your Summer staple.

Prints..Prints and Bright colours

My moto for the Summer is prints on prints, bright colours and all things wonderful to the eye. I have worn these pieces before in completely different looks to this one. In this look I was going for easy breezy effortlessness. I paired my printed light weight Jo Borkett shirt and green cigarette pants from Mango.

Pretty in Pink

My metallic Steve Madden sandals as seen on this look and many other looks to come.. are probably going to be my staple summer item. I already want to wear them everyday, and they just seem to go with everything. 

This time I wore them with a Jo Borkett shift dress with a back zipper detail. The dress is conservative enough to wear at the office,but still has the right amount of cheek and cutesy not to be boring.
