Office Chic..

I felt like putting a little color and drama to my at the office look. I tried not to go too far.

I try to have a little fun when dressing up for the office...This blue blazer is the perfect way to do just that. The bright blue color is so much fun and the I just can't have enough of the peplum cut. The jacket is also very light and therefore perfect for summer. I paired the jacket with my favorite nine west blue heels..

I bought this jacket at a thrift store for R200, I was happy for days after this purchase. I completed the look with this lovely beaded neckpiece from Lovisa. 

About the outfit:
- Skirt- H&M
- Shoes- 9west
- Blazer- No name store in East London (R200)...I did the happy dance when I got this blazer for that price.

STREET STYLE..

I love the combination of the pretty pink skirt with the tough faux leather jacket.

Beaded bliss

I love colour, bright beautiful and oh so summer-ry pop your eyes out colour!
The focus of this look is definitely the bright Zara neckpiece...I knew immediately I saw it that I had to have it. It has the perfect mixture of yellow and turquoise beads.

I didn't want to wear the beads with a dark top so I wore an orange vest which goes great with beads. The black skirt is a tulip shaped skirt, that gives the appropriate amount of added hips. This skirt is from a Marion and Lindie collection and is one of my best buys.

You asked me to share my outfit details..there you go!

THE PEPLUM DRESS!

Look for the woman in the dress. If there is no woman, there is no dress.- CC

This stunning yellow dress with a twist interpretation of the peplum is by Thula Sindi, one of my favorite designers.

This dress is perfect for the office...its perfectly fitting due to its stretchy fabric and it is thee power dress. 

The bright yellow color immediately improves my mood.

I wore this dress with nude Guess sling backs; it would also look great with black court shoes. 

If you are not an office girl, you can wear this for cocktails with strappy sandals. 

SPRING IN MY STEP!!!

 

Despite the chill in the air, Spring is without a doubt here. I am over winter and I'm equally over pastels. Time to brighten it up ladies!!

This asymetrical skirt is from Mr Price, it's bright pattern is very appropriate for the season.Because the skirt is so loud, I toned it down with a white top and white strappy sandals.

     I added my favourite accessory, the belt to complete the look.

GRAZIA SA..

When I first saw Grazia SA on the magazine stands, the cover plastered with a glossy photo of Jenifer Lopez, I thought "Oh no, another gossip magazine". 

They (Grazians) call themselves a fashion and news weekly; so driven only by the word "fashion" in that statement, I bought a copy...and every other weekly copy since then.. 

I, like many frown upon gossip/ celebrity news magazines because I feel  I am an intelligent woman who wants to be stimulated and inspired by the magazine I read, and should not be patronized or underestimated. 

I have little interest in the lives of "celebrities", with that said I do have a healthy appetite for the highlights of  who wore what and who did what scandalous thing in tinsel town.  

Grazia is quite classy; with an acceptable amount of gossip, and a whole lot of fashion in a bite size offering, making it easy for me to part with my R20. 

You can expect updates on the latest fashion trends, exactly where to buy the trends and some very impressive fashion spreads with local fashion.

If you are a fashion lover, but don't have the time to go through pages and pages of thick maga-books because you actually have a life?..then Grazia is for you. Short and sweet. The best thing in SA since Glamour. Visit the fab team at http://www.graziadaily.co.za/ and get your copy every Friday.
