I always say that Kim Kardashian never goes wrong with her outfit choices. Never came today when I came across this picture. This gucci dress is totally unflattering. What a disappointment because Kim usually dresses to flatter her body, this unfortunately is a #fail.

LOOKBOOK: Color Block

11 Jun

A color blocking look for someone who doesn’t like to go too far out there. .

 

Solange x Rimmel

11 Jun

Solange looks absolutely gorgeous in the new Rimmel London ad campaign. It’s bright and vibrant which I definitely associate with her. My question is what did she do to her hair? Has she left the natural community or is it just flat ironed? Either way great look for her!

 

My Summer Staple

11 Jun

I’m having my second Summer of the year. The difference between the summer I had in Zimbabwe/South Africa and the one I’m having in New York is that New York is disgustinggggggg. The humidity is out of this world, it is just suffocating and sticky heat. Clothes are such a chore to put on… so my go to outfit is shorts and a shirt. Something like what I’m pictured in below.

LookBook: Wedges

1 Jun

I’m pretty sure I’m all about wedges this summer. I got a pair in the spring which I absolutely adored so I want more. This season the wedge has been reinvented, it’s higher, brighter and just more amazing than ever.

Bonang at the SAMAs.

26 May

The night I left Johannesburg, the 17th Annual South African Music Awards were taking place. Local tv and radio IT girl, Bonang Matheba, was cohosting and I wanted to watch to see what she would wear. I’ve struggled to find pictures but I got this one from her facebook page. WOW to the last dress all the way on the bottom. GORGEOUS!!!!!! All the looks are by Gert Johan Coetzee.

Hello!

23 May

Hi everyone! I know it’s been three months but I am back. I spent the last three months between South Africa and Zimbabwe and it was amazing. I’m so happy I had the opportunity to go home and see things from a different perspective. I feel so refreshed and inspired. I’ll be back to blogging VERY VERY soon!

How would you describe your personal style?

My personal style is honestly is everchanging. When i think of fashion, i picture a story. One that is quite expressive, that is detailed enough to convey an emotion. With that said, somedays I can dress completely raw with steel plated boots and dark palettes; while other days i can dressed completely soft with light palettes, and intricate delicates. Fashion is an emotion for me, and my inspirations for day to day life.

What is your go to outfit if you have 15 minutes to get ready for the day?


What have your favorite items been this winter?

My favorite items this winter have been the huge cable knit sweaters and the chic “Rachel Zoe” fur vests. They have grown quite popular especially amongst my college campus. While very simple, they add touches sophistication; making a simple ensemble to fie for.  I enjoy them but they make packing hell ! I went to Dubai to celebrate New Years, and it was actually 80 degrees there !! There my favorite items were actually the hijabs! With the warm weather, women there were wearing hijabs in such vibrant colors. There weren’t quite new to me since I am muslim, BUT i really was intrigued by the variationsWhat is your favorite season to dress for?

If you could raid any celebrity’s closet, who would it be and why?

Don’t hate me my dears but it is so very close between Victoria Beckham and the “new” Rihanna. Both celebrities pay particular attention to details, silhouettes and remain conscience of their bodies, not to mention their bold and relentlessness attitudes to fashion unique skews. Victoria Beckham is famous for her cutting edge, yet sophisticated style; This i adore dearly, and her accessories are always up to par. My “new” Rihanna (post 2004) is a bold and daring young one, who isn’t afraid to try colors, eccentric patterns/ textiles, and admire her body! I am inspired by both of these phenomenal artists

What is the biggest fashion mistake you see girls make?

I believe the biggest fashion mishaps amongst women always has been and will continue to be adapting a style of another for in-genuine reasons. When a trend, a phase , or anything of that nature becomes IN fashion it becomes second nature for a lot of females (and equally men) to “jump on the bandwagon” and assume the “role”.  I could go on forever with examples, but i am sure we all know of similar situations. When you are able to pass by someone and sense she or he is uncomfortable or unsure of what message they are trying to portray it becomes very uncomfortable and unbecoming of their character and fashion conscience
