SA FASHION WEEK

SA Fashion Week starts today. If you don't already have one- get a ticket at Computicket and be sure to join Fashion at Crown Plaza this week/ end. I am so excited to see what everyone will be wearing and to just be part to the beautiful buzz of fashion week. I am seeing the Gert Johan, Collen Eitzen and Rubicon shows.

The sun came up for about 2 minutes in Jo'burg today. I am not complaining I love rainy weather. It provides the perfect excuse for shameless couch potato behavior..tv, pasta and hot chocolate.

Weekend Wear

I have been dying to wear my Lupita Nyong'o inspired head band.  It was gifted to me by Simple Bridal a wedding and special occasion online store. I love their jewelry and  hair accessories because they can be worn with everyday outfits like this head band. I was very pleased to have something pretty on my hair, since there is barely any hair left since the big chop.

Do visit their online store and see if you can get something pretty and sparkly at a great price.

Style36 closes down

Its now confirmed that Style36 is no longer. The online shop has closed its doors :( This is a sad reality for those of us who had come to rely on online shops like Style36 for our fashion needs. The decision to close down comes from the holding company MIH Internet Africa due to a change is strategy. The strategy of the company is to move away from "speciality" stores like fashion to more general online stores like Kalahari.net. As if we didn't have a big enough shortage in the variety of online shops.

Thrifting was never something I used to do. I have been inspired by some of my blogger friends who find the most amazing pieces in thrift shops. I always envied this weird habit of shopping from other peoples closets - I of course never thought I could do it. Until I started..its the most thrilling thing. Going through a rack of super cheap and previously owned clothing, hoping to find a gem and then finding that gem.
