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.

 About the look:
- Shirt- Mr P
- Dress- Jo Borkett
- Boots- Edgars
- Clutch- Mr P

The LBD

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.

My Valentines day

I wore this outfit to my valentines day dinner and outdoor movie date. I know its not your typical Vday pink or red and white outfit, but I felt pretty in black. I tried to lighten up the outfit with the colourful head scarf. 

My boyfriend and I went to an outdoor movie screening of Paris je taime at the Maboneng Precinct in downtown Jozi. As we arrived on Fox street for the movie, we were welcome by a gorgeous visual of tens of red beanie bags across the street laid out before the big screen. After a refreshing welcome cocktail, we had dinner at Shap'braai which is a chisa nyama esk township style kind of restaurant. Then with bubbly and pop corn in hand we watched the movie under the stars. It was a really cool experience, and the beanie bags were surprisingly comfortable and created a conducive environment to cuddling. 

What I wore:

- Peplum skirt- Jo Borkett

- Tux blazer- H&M

- Scarf worn as a turban- Forever New

- Peep toe boots- Edgars
