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.

Street Style for Sunglass Hut

Hello there beauties

On Thursday I attended the #SghComeandPlay (Sunglass hut) event and it was absolutely amazing! I will be doing a separate post with all the deets about the event but for now, just know that it involved a few big SA celebs, great entertainment and a very generous R2000 Sunglass hut voucher, which I already redeemed against a brand new pair of Prada sunnies. *Swoooooon*

Have I mentioned before how much I love distressed denim boyfriend jeans? These are a size too big but I prefer baggy over the fit of my actual size which always seems to be too fitted to be a boyfriend :/ I love this Marc Jacobs inspired blouse that I found at Forever 21 and just realized that this is its official debut on my blog (If you follow me on Instagram, you probably would’ve seen this blouse before)

Keeping it simple

Happy (Throwback) Thursday

Guess who is back with a very simple ootd? This simple maxi and all star combo is what I wore on Saturday. I added the statement necklace and my favourite mustard bag (I know I’ve been butchering this bag lately by using it as often as I have been) just to add some colour. I just realized that I’ve been wearing a lot of denim and even more grey lately. Maybe I should challenge myself to a denim and grey free month? After I wear my new boyfriend jeans of course…

Put your cool hat on

Hello there Fashion loving friends

This is what I wore yesterday. I can’t get over this awesome hat that I found at Topshop recently. The minute it lands on my head, I get this sudden urge to pretend that I’m the lead singer in a rock band that wears cool hats. I know joburgers are probably thinking that I’m completely looney to have worn so much black in almost 30 degree heat but I’m an impulsive dresser that rarely cares about the weather LOL

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 Monday Fashionistas

I haven’t done spring/summer shopping as yet but I did find these super girly silver flats that have already made the worlds difference to my very neutral (almost dull) closet. Since this is a recent buy, it obviously needed to make its debut appearance on my blog. I usually plan my outfit around one key piece and these babies were no exception. So, how do I look? LOL, its been a while since I’ve caught up with Jeannie Mai ;)

Ankle boots in the spring

Happy shoeday Tuesday everyone (If you don’t know that Tuesday is shoeday, what rock have you been hiding under?)

This is what I wore to a movie date with my sis and nephew (Le husband and I gate crashed) on Sunday. We watched Turbo: an animation all about…… wait for it….. snail racing! In my nephs defence, movie choices are quite limited at the age of 4 and in my opinion, you are never too old for animation (says the 5 year old in me)

Really impressed with this beautiful weather but now it feels as if I don’t have enough clothes for summer… Story of my life every season!

Have a good week everyone

Dungaree

Happy Monday lovies

Just thought I would share my Saturday #ootd with you guys. Spring has definitely sprung! The weather in Johannesburg has been AHMAZE and judging by the twitter and instagram feeds of my fellow fashionistas in other parts of South Africa, our beautiful country seems to be boasting its great weather across the provincial boarders.

Don’t you just love this Dungaree? I bought it at Zara a little while back and while its been gathering a bit of dust in my closet, some of my favourite fashion bloggers have been giving me great ideas on what to pair it with. (See how the gorgeous Mrs Rogero wore it here and here.)

I had a (window) shopping day on Saturday so teamed my dungaree up with my Geek tee and cut out sandals/boots (Sanboots perhaps? LOLZ) Hubby wasn’t impressed with my tee choice (its not very springy and he loves it when I wear colour) so obviously I wore it (I’m BADASS like that LOL)

You've just been Faux-Furred

Welcome back to my blog Beauties. For those of you visiting for the first time, I hope visiting my blog will be worth your while

 

 

This is what I wore to the decorex yesterday. I wore my Faux fur. AGAIN! I’m a real girl and real girls where their clothes all.the.time. I love pairing the same statement item with different pieces to make the most out of my closet and this faux fur Gilet from Legit seems to go with everything. I also wore it here. Which look do you prefer?

I only realized when I was Instagramming (is that even a word?) my outfit that I was head to toe in Zara. This love affair with Zara needs to stop! Ok maybe not but I need to give other stores a chance (Le Husband is probably cringing reading this right now. I’m kidding babe... No shopping! *wink*)

Denim on Denim

Hello and Happy Tuesday everyone

I decided to do a quick outfit post on what I wore on Saturday. I have been searching high and low for the perfect pair of boyfriend jeans and finally found a pair at guess where? LOLz. Here’s the secret… These jeans are actually straight cut jeans that are 2 or 3 sizes too big. My #clingyfriendship was in complete disbelief when I decided to try them on because they looked so huge. I often surprise myself with my random substitutes when I can find what I’m looking for and this time I emerged from the fitting room completely satisfied with my substitute find. Then my day was really made when #clingyfriendship insisted on buying the jeans for me. How sweet is she? She gets me!

I love these two tone flats that I found at a boutique in Bangkok almost 2 years ago. Although Bangkok had amazing shoes, there weren’t many stores that stocked shoes up to a size 6 so my options were VERY limited. (Damn you people with small feet!)

With Eid preparations starting, the rest of this week will be crazy for me. I will probably be back next week with some cool outfit posts (I cleaned my white converse….. So don’t be surpised when you keep seeing them!) To all my muslim readers, Eid Mubarak. Hope the month of Ramadaan has been a rewarding and religiously uplifting month and that we close off with a blessed Eid Insha’Allah! Keep my family and I in your duas and may we all live to see many more Ramadaans Insha’Allah. Ameen
