Goodbye 2013, Hello 2014!

It feels so surreal to be writing a post bidding farewell to 2013. Less than a day to go before we all enthusiastically welcome the New Year, today feels like the opportune moment to reflect on 2013.

This time last year, I made a commitment to invest in myself and spend more time on things that would make me a happier version of me. In addition, was a set of 10 attainable goals that I was determined to achieve. 7/10 goals under my belt and a more free spirited upgraded version of me later; I am pleasantly surprised by my achievements this year.

This year has taught me balance; to work hard and play just as hard. While focusing on my career and academic goals, I have devoted just as much time to dusting the dirt off my once buried outgoing personality; my blog has helped me achieve that. I have met amazing people, played around with fashion and used my blog as a place to document my thoughts and experiences albeit through look posts ;)

To my regular blog readers and stalkers (I see you lol) thank you so much for your views, comments and genuine support. I’m far from pro level, but looking forward to improving my content (and hopefully more regular posts) in 2014. Don’t forget to follow my blog to see the transformation as it unfolds

Have an amazing new year filled with lots of love, happiness, health and prosperity. Let’s make it a year to remember!!!

As a fashion blogger, it’s only fitting that I close off with an outfit post.

Hello there fashionistas and happy Monday

You’ll have to forgive me for this delayed rant and rave about the Anisa Mpungwe for Mr Price range but I only had the opportunity to blog about now. HOW AMAZING IS THIS RANGE? I was in awe when I saw the range appear on my Instagram timeline and couldn’t wait for the official release online. I bought the pleather pencil skirt and graphic tee which I paired together for my Saturday OOTD.

Boyfriend in the Spring

Greetings fashionistas & happy October

I’m back with a casual (& relatively old) outfit post this week. My version of the boyfriend Jeans (a normal slim fit, 3 sizes too big) is fast becoming my go to item when looking for something to wear. Not only does it disguise any traces of a fat day, it’s also really comfy and oh so versatile. Although I’m not ready to bid farewell to my super skinnies just yet but I will admit that embracing this trend has definitely added a refreshing twist to my recent looks. Just a word of advice, invest in a pair! If denim is forever, boyfriend jeans will surely stand the trend of time (My failed attempt at being witty, LOL)

Happy July Fashionistas

 

I can’t believe we’ve officially entered the second half of the year. TIME.IS.FLYING! The 1^st half of the year has been great thus far and I hope the 2^nd half is even better (God willing)

 

What do you think of my street style look? I’m really having fun with fashion and taking a lot more risks lately. What started out as a Saturday hunt for a pair of boyfriend jeans at Zara turned into the purchase of these really “hood” jeans at Diesel, and I couldn’t be happier. Le husband was so surprised when I agreed to “give these jeans a try” and almost had a heart attack when I said “This is so me”.

I debuted these jeans on Saturday night to a friends birthday party so before you give me the look of shame, I confess to wearing the same jeans 2 days in a row LOL. I will post my Saturday outfit of the night as well as an Instagram (@nas_diva) round up and Singapore travel post sometime this week- Scouts Honour!

Faux leather sounds better than pleather

Ooh look at me blogging 2 days in a row hahaha. This is what I wore today to combat Jhb’s bipolar weather. On 5 different occassions, I was convinced it was going to rain yet the sun came out every single time. I contemplated wearing sneakers today but opted for my brogues instead (See how I wore them here) with this faux leather skirt from Mr Price.

I was a bit camera shy today because some lady in our complex kept peeping at me through the window. I should’ve invited her down to come & pose with me lol

Its all in the necklace

 

This was my #ootd yesterday to visit the parentals. I took these pics without wearing the little bit of make up that I usually do wear, hence the very bland face lol. Sometimes my skin just needs a break (especially since I’ve been wearing make up a bit more often than usual lately) and yesterday was the perfect day to rock the “minimalist” look lol

 Do you just love the statement necklace? I went to “browse” the sale section at Lovisa and happened to spot this gorgeous necklace which unfortunately was not on sale. I did the “puppy eyes” thing I usually do when I’m hoping Le husband says “just buy it” which he did of course lol. Gotta love Le husband!

I know that I have been over blogging this bag recently. Can you blame me? Its gorge and goes with everything! You'll probably see it in my next work wear post. LOL!

Snowflakes, diamonds & rips

Okay so the title is a bit misleading but i didn't know what else to call it. :) This was my #ootd on Saturday. I usually throw an outift together around a specific item I want to wear and in this case, it was these CUTE SANDALS. I saw these sandals on my friend Tasnim (It looked WAY better on her since she has such cute petite feet) & couldn't resist buying them. I'm not really a fan of buying items owned by a friend because I always have this fear of wearing it at the same time when meeting up but I made the exception this time. Luckily we never met up this weekend because I wore them on sunday too ( Don't judge me lol)

I LOVE these jeans! See how I wore it here

My ootd on Saturday was thrown together around my bag. My sweet love bought this bag for me at ZARA last weekend because he hates my current work bag and knew I would only stop using it if he replaced it with a new one. <-- Smart move on my part don’t you think? I will be starting a new job in the coming month so a new work bag was well received. This bag is definitely too gorgeous to only be used for work so I figured I would give my Louis a break and take my new bag for a walk. I’ve worn these brogues in my Black & Denim with a sprinkle of lace post and I can’t wait to wear it with the faux leather skirt (sounds better than pleather) I recently bought from Mr Price. (Post will be up soon: Keep visiting my blog or follow me on twitter to be notified once I’ve blogged it)

Casual coral

This was my ootd on Sunday to adventure golf with my love. The weather kept changing (sunny to overcast) so I decided on a blazer just to be certain. I teamed this blazer up with a coral skinny and a plain white tee to keep the casual theme going. Not one of my best looks so I definitely need to turn things up a notch in future posts :)

I’ve become a bit bored with the odd length of my hair so I’m trying to find new ways of styling it until it grows to a decent length. I pinned it up into a bun in the evening just to change the look up a bit. Got a thumbs up from my Mr but I’m not quite sure how I feel about it.
