Cropped

I have searched far and wide for some camel coloured cropped trousers and my beloved Mr Price heard my cries and delivered... These pants have really grown on me, I wasn't so sure I liked them at first but they really are a good alternative to the usual skinny jean or leggings.



My leopard print flats were purchased during a trip to London.


My earrings and watch are a both gifts from my sis and my mom respectively. 

There you have it!!

Much love

Winter Warmth

I took some quick shots before going out this Sunday... I took these myself using my desk as a makeshit
tripod. Im all about D.I.Y! lol


Its getting colder everyday here in Egoli so I decided to wear my gray sweater and extra thick leggings from Mr Price... both are exceptionally warm.

My blazer is vintage and my tribal inpired necklace is from the China Market.
I absolutely love this handbag... the leather and gold finishes of this handbag make it look so classy.
The bag has a Birkin- esque feel which I love...


My riding boots re also from Mr Price. I honestly live in these shoes during the winter months.

Enjoy your Easter!

Flower Power 2.0

Since I wore this pretty floral skirt I decided to have a second edition of the post Flower Power!! There is something about floral prints that I find to be so pretty, playful and cute!!!

This was such a beautiful, sunny day, the days preceeding this one had been rainy and cloudy so I was super elated to be wearing a skirt!!

I wore this skirt as a little girl... I love reusing and rediscovering old clothes!! It feels like you've gone shopping except you dont have to spend money!! hahaha









My sunnies and my denim shirt are both from Mr Price and my belt is Polo!

xoxoxo

Thrifting


Last weekend I went on a little thrifting adventure with my buddy Yusrah!! It was so much fun... we both made some unique and wonderful finds!!!!



My blazer is vintage, my striped dress is from TopShop in London, My bag, sunnies and sandals are all from Mr Price!!!


I tried on this super funky body-con dress... the print was a bit crazy but the fit of the dress was awesome.

On this particular weekend I also attended one of my good friend's 21st birthday party... it was awesome seeing all my friends from school!!!

Enjoy your week lovelies!!

I love cargo pants so much... this pair is so chic but yet has that edge of utility and roughness which I love!!

I sense that these satchel style bags are about to be a staple in most women's closets!! The army green colour adds a rustic and vintage feel to the bag!

This lovely lady has worn this trend in an exemplary manner!! I would kill for her cropped camel pants and leopard print pumps!! Her whole look is effortless and gorgeous!!

So... there you have it!! Army Green is one of my favourite colours and I feel its essential to one's wardrobe as the colour complements many other colours and textures!!

Much love

Inspiration!

I was browsing through one of my favourite fashion blogs All The Pretty Birds. The blog is owned by a fabulous young fashionista named Tamu!!! Tamu photographs people with unique fashion styles and puts the photos up on her blog!! I absolutely love all of the pics she puts up, she has a great eye and all of her fashion prefernces resonate with me!! I found these pics from her blog!! I love the contrast between the soft feminine maxi dresses and the hard leather jackets, also the hats on these women are to die for! Both ladies look stunning and I'm totally inspired to try out this type of look!
