Floral prints

I wore this outfit to a friend's wedding yesterday. The end of March is technically Autumn, but as you can see I am desperately holding on to the warmth and brightness of Summer. In the morning there was a bit of an overcast but it cleared out later and the day was almost as a gorgeous as the bride.

I wore a floral spring strapless dress with my ultimate strapless bra underneath. I paired the dress with my pastel Nine Wests which I don't wear as often as I had hoped. 
Whenever I wear anything strapless, I worry about the constant pulling up of the bra.  Even with the dancing everything stayed in place the entire night thanks to the magic bra

What a wonderful day it was.

Ultimate Strapless Wonderbra

I am more than happy to spend my hard earned money on companies whose mission it is to make women's lives easier...better and more fabulous.
More often than not products aimed at women over promise and advertisers like to think if the product is pink we will buy it...

I found a product I just have to share. Its reasonably priced, delivers on each promise and it’s in different colours.
If your bra cup is C or larger then you know the pains of the strapless bra. Most so called strapless bras slip and you must keep pulling them up and some just do not provide the much needed lift and hold to the ladies.

I call this bra the magic bra, the official name is The Ultimate strapless bra from Wonderbra.
This is the only strapless bra you need to have, when I read the label and it said "Now you can Jump, dance, play..." I thought there they go again over promising.

But to my greatest delight this bra is comfortable, has maximum hold and gives a beautiful lift. No slips. No pulls.
Make sure you get yourself measured first so that you buy your correct size.

Where to buy it

For R420 you can get this bra at the following outlets:
- Edgars
- Truworths
- Zando.co.za
- Wonderbra.co.za

Polka Dots

I took these photos in the morning just before going to work. As usual I was late so I could only take a few. 
I love wearing a perfect fitting dress that makes me feel like a million bucks. Thats what this dress felt like. The whimsy  of  the polka  dots pattern is really what drew me to it..I am obsessed with interesting patterns.    

The bag is from Forever new and is the cutest thing ever, It reminded of something a young Carrie Bradshaw would carry.

Camo and Sequins

Hello dear readers, I know I have been MIA yet again. A lot has been happening, taking me away from blogging.

I wore this look to the Hospice night of the stars fashion show on Human rights day. The fashion show was raising money for Hospice; more than a 100 celebrities donated their time and dared to cat walk for top designers like David Tlale, KLUK CGDT, and Black coffee down the longest runway I have ever seen. Celebrities like Somizi, Khanyi and Kuli Roberts were very entertaining; all in all it was good fun for a great cause.  The clothes were fabulous, David Tlale showed his New York fashion show collection and I fell hard for the Loin Cloth and Ashes lady like dresses.

What I wore:
This look look blends two trends together; sequins or as I like to call it the "bling bling" trend and the grungy military trend. I adore the comfortable military boots, and the camouflage shirt is a studded  stunner. 

Hope you like this look.

Pretty little liars

My obsession right now is Pretty Little Liars…an American thriller/ drama tv show about four friends living in Rosewood. The series follows the lives of Aria (Lucy Hale), Hanna (Ashley Benson), Spencer (Troian Bellisario) and Emily (Shay Mitchell); whose clique falls apart after the disappearance of their queen bee Alison (Sasha Pieterse).One year later they begin receiving messages from a mysterious figure using the name "A" who threatens to expose their secrets. 



The writing is magnificent and the plot just the right amount of thick.
My real obsession with the show is not with the thrilling writing but with Hanna. Hanna is the blonde "it girl" of the group. She used to be on Days of Lives as Abe Deveraux. She's a stylish diva on Pretty Little Liars with a wardrobe I would kill for...
This show is better that Gossip Girl...yes I said it!

AUTUMN/ WINTER TRENDS

Grazia and Jo Borkett hosted a winter trends readers night in Sandton this Tuesday.
Champagne and macaroons in hand, the Grazia team took us through what we can expect to be wearing in a few weeks from Jo Borkett in line with fashion trends.

You can expect more peplums (Yay), brocade (not a fan, would rather leave this fabric to grand ma's curtains), leather, camouflage, prints and lots of knit wear. I'm excited to wear some leather and camouflage; I also can't wait for winter knits for when a coat is just too much. 
Another surprising yet interesting trend is velvet, my friend and I went gaga for Jo Borkett's velvet skater skirts in black or maroon. This winter will be full of lush, feminine and luxurious fabrics.    






What I wore..

I wore black and white slim leg pants with a cropped t-shirt and a tux blazer. The pants are very comfortable and casual, pairing them with the tux blazer made more a little more dressier. The blazer is from H&M, the pants are Cotton on and the tank top is from Mr Price. 







The shopping..
What do you get when you put a group of women in a Jo Borkett store with everything on the floor at 30% less?..Madness!


The jacket of the season..

I fell in love with the ox blood clutch with studs, and the most beautiful leather sleeves winter jacket.
