Valentines Outfit Idea:Colour-Block Dress

Dress (Pretty Please) | Bag (Mr Price) | Platforms (Plum @ Zando)

This dress is the star of today's outfit post!! I love the combination of lilac & peach in this color block dress & I actually think it compliments my skin tone quite well :) I decided on neutral accessories as the dress is the focus of the look, but I couldn't resist my Rimmel lipstick "Firecracker".  It's been so hot & humid in Durban lately, this dress was such a savior as its so light & makes you instantly feel cool.

This dress is perfect for a casual date, picnic or a lunch / breakfast date on Valentines Day. The colors are on trend, & the silhouette is flattering. If you haven't checked out the Pretty Please website, you absolutely must. They're a local online shop, that stocks women's clothes & accessories. A great place to look for Valentines Day outfits don't ya think?! And PS... They offer FREE DELIVERY too!! Yep I know that has you sold :)

I look forward to hearing from you lovelies!

NEW IN: Melissa Shoes!!!

Melissa Incense || (WING) & Melissa Sky Glitter

As soon as these babies arrived, I could not wait to put them on! Melissa Shoes sent me these gorgeous gorgeous heels & seriously guys, even before you lift the lid off the box, you get the sweetest candy floss / marshmallow smell that is soooo yummy & enticing! So, other than the fact that I find them absolutely delicious, here are a few reasons why I think they are AMAZING!

1. They're cute & funky - I especially love the Rainbow collection which includes both pairs of shoes pictured above. The collection includes many other colors & styles, see them here. 

2. Free delivery & returns if you order from Melissa South Africa online shop. Yep, Im sure this one has you sold!

3. They're easy to clean. A little soap & water  does the trick.

4. They're comfortable. Melissa shoes are made from the company's signature MelFlex rubber technology which helps make the shoes more comfortable & flexible. I usually use the gel inners in my heels so that on a night out my feet are able to survive. This is not necessary with Melissa shoes. I walked around the house last night for over an hour in the pink heels & my feet were perfectly fine.

5. They're green - made from recyclable plastic, the company is known for exceeding Fair Trade benchmarks. And if you remember I was reading Eco-Chic by Matilda Lee, so I am all for sustainable fashion. Brands like this are vital in setting an example to other major players in the industry.

6. Designer collaborations with Jason Wu & the avant grade queen Vivienne Westwood.

I have you sold don't I?! Lol. Well then the next step is for you to visit the Melissa SA online store here. And if you are lucky enough to live in Johannesburg - get down to Eastgate to the pop-up store on the ground level close to the Ster-Kinekor Cinema.

If you decide to get a pair or 2, let me know. Comment. Tweet. Email. Or Facebook!

Until then, you'll see me sporting these in upcoming Outfit Posts :)

Its my birthday! I decided to try something fun & different for me - color-blocking. Yes I know I wear lots of black & other generally dark colors. I had an amazing birthday dinner with a few close friends at The Market. To say that it was a memorable evening would be an understatement lol. I hope you like what I wore.

Believing in Shooting Stars

Galaxy dress (Cotton On) | Bag (Mr Price) | Platform Heels (Launch @ Zando)

"It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves." This quote is by the great William Shakespeare, and to say that I believe in it is a huge understatement! Life & success doesn't just happen, it comes when you go after what you want & you're not afraid to take risks. Im that girl who sees something she wants & immediately puts it on my goals list. 

I am very grateful that this blog is about to reach 200 000 views! It took my loyal & not-so-loyal readers to get here, but it also took me doing what I needed to do in order to make your visit here a fabulously fashionable one! Life is a work-in-progress, and so is this blog. I hope you will continue on this journey with me as it grows & becomes everything I have ever wanted it to be.

Photo credit goes to my awesome photog friend Abhi. See his work here.

Thank you all for the support!
Reaching 200 000 is the best birthday present!

Feeling beyond blessed when I look back the kind of person I was just then and see how far God has brought me. It never ceases to amaze me at how God works in my life through seasons and how His plans are nothing but good and perfect.
Now here I am, on my 27th birthday, looking forward to what He has in store for me in near and further future.

Need Now: Camel Coats

Camel coats walked down the most important Pre Fall 2013 runways and have been spotted on the chicest streets  of the world recently. This  type of coat is very stylish and versatile, it can easily take you from day to night and from the office to a cocktail party. If you don't already have one, go get yourself  at least two of these pretty pieces right now. My absolute favorite shape of the moment is "cocoon".

Entitled Vastu Vidya

Received the latest release from one of my favorite Indonesian designers, Sapto Djojokartiko, Spring/Summer 2013 collection, Vastu Vidya. I'm personally always excited to see what he will come up with his collection.
This time, his latest lineup is filled with refined looks that derived from the traditional form of architecture, which inspired by intricacy of relief, texture and sculpture commonly found on a dwelling created based on the Vastu Vidya belief. The designs incorporate a major statement of Sapto's modern aesthetic that defines a high creativity meets high wearability. Embedded with a beautiful selection of white, silver and grey and also the appearance of rich mocha-like and dark brown. Perfectly well-rounded collection for a strong yet sharp modern woman.
