My birthday month

April is my favorite month; 1: because its my birthday month and 2: because I usually get a lot of gifts during this month and 3: because its the month after my engagement month. Whats not to love?
It has been such a wonderful month, not only was it my bday on the 18th but most of my friends were also born in April so its been a continuous celebration. One of my very good friends got married on the 27th of April..what a beautiful wedding it was..

I wore this outfit to a birthday lunch, the weather is still warm with a little chill in the air just to remind us not to get too comfortable because Winter is not far off.

Cute socks

Autumn is in and Winter is seriously looming. I love the colder weather.. because with it come fab looks with boots and silk scarves.
I am determined to not have a boring winter and with all the exciting winter trends such as velvet (love) and tapestry it should not be too hard to accomplish.
One of the most fun ways for me to keep warm this winter is colorfully cute socks. These can be worn with boots, heels and even sandals.
They really bring a certain cutesy and whimsy to a look.
What do you think?

The Carrie Diaries

So it would appear that before Sex and before the City there was Carrie. Leaving a normal high school life away from New York. Carrie is no ordinary high school girl, she was born with a good eye for shoes and a passion to write. Before she could afford Manolos Carrie's style may not have been designer but it was iconic even at 16 years.

The Carrie diaries looks at Carrie Bradshaw in 1985 as a senior in high school, pre Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte...and definitely pre- Big.
This show could have turned into a desperate attempt to hang on to Sex and City and maybe capitalise on our undying love for Carrie and her shoe closet, but it didn't. It really works, it is very smart and it is not hard to see why Carrie became Carrie.

If you loved older Carrie, then you will adore 16 year old Carrie. She is a little unsure of herself but you can see she is going to grow up to own one of the most envied wardrobes in television.

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.
