Cover Girl

Image
No no, I haven't landed a magazine cover, at least not yet... Remember that full skirt I told you I was dying about  here   it's finally here. I can't get over its perfect fit, the material and just how edgy it is. The title is inspired by the magazine cover design on the skirt, and here's a little secret, I actually wore my off-the-shoulder dress as top and it worked perfectly! I wore my favorite my block heel sandals to finish off this ladylike look. This is one outfit that reminds me that I can really put on the Ritz when I want to. Skirt: Touch of bling at Fashion Kraal| Top/dress: Factorie| Shoes:Rubi | Bag: gifted (sissy boy)

When Skies Are Grey

Image
When in doubt  I always go for a monochromatic look and that's exactly what I did  with this short and simple look. The only reason I was in doubt is because the weather was not too great on this day, hence the title.  I secretly wanted to put on sweats and curl up on the couch with a cup of coffee, but I had some errands to run so I had to put on pants and get out of the house. You will never go wrong with knee rip jeans and lace up flats, I talk about lace up flats all the time as if I have more than one pair, I don't, but I wear these black one's all the time! The look came up together with this special grey bat wing sweater, it's so comfortable I actually want to own more than one, but I wont because I need to broaden my style. Here's a pic of my look, notice how the grey sky puts a cool filter on my pics... Top and Jeans: Mr Price  Shoes: Cotton On Bag: Legit Thank you for reading Keep the Faith and Stay Blessed

Music Monday - I'm all about that bass!

Image
I am a lover of music, and by now you probably know that I'm into songs that have a lot  of inspirational lyrics, but I'll have you know that I'm also a  huge fan of live music, even without any lyrics , it's just amazing how a band of musicians playing totally different instruments can put together a beautiful piece  of organized noise. So you can sort of say I like the finer details which brings me to my favourite instrument; the bass guitar, you know when  musicians take solos in a song, they mostly steer away from what they were originally playing just to show off how many  keys they play at once or just how quickly they can hit the next cymbal... The bass player just needs to have all the other instruments quiet and he can continue playing the same line he played the whole song and believe you me the crowd will go mad  I don't know why, but the sound of this instrument just goes in deep, okay I think I've said enough now  Here's something you might find

Just gotta spill it!

Image
I was packing my backpack before heading out to the market when I literally spilled out all its contents on the floor, so when I was putting them back, I realized that I'd never taken a bag spill photo, that's when I slowly rearranged all the contents in my bag and hovered my phones camera over them for this cute picture: Allow me to share its contents with you, I call them summer essentials because most of these never leave my bag.  1. Backpack: Polo. It is my favourite of all my backpacks, not just because it was gift from my love, but because it's really edgy, but classy at the same time and it allows for me to carry a lot of things. If your style is mostly casually chic like mine, then you need to get yourself a backpack! It's not just for scholars. 2. Selfie Stick: Cotton On- A summer essential not only because of it's bright colour, but because I'm always out and about in summer and selfies are essential.  3. Power bank charger: Cotton On

The little white dresses

                                                            One thing I like about dresses is that they make it seem like you've really taken the time to get dressed up The white dress on the other hand is one cheeky, little ensemble, allowing you to give off a fresh clean look especially for the summer. Now i know that 2015 had a lot of "all white themed events" going on, but my looks have got nothing to do with attending glamorous events, they are all pretty casual! The first look is a dress I wore to Suncity, on a day out with colleagues, it was comfortable for the 2 hour ride in a taxi and also perfect for the scorching heat of the city of the sun. I paired it white my favourite black lace up flats with only sunglasses as my accessories of cause  sun city beach life most, i didn't want to lose any of my bangles or neck pieces, this pulled together a pretty cute look The next look is my off the shoulder dress... ahh my current favourite, perfect for sum

LET THE MUSIC PENETRATE

Image
Ever looked at the way someone had a glow on their face after hearing a song lyric that they can relate to? I find joy in watching that, seeing that expression on someone’s face, it's just thrilling. People listen to all types of music and lyrics can mean something totally different to someone after just one life event. "When the sound resonates, the music penetrates" that’s a quote i saw somewhere, I don’t remember by who, but it's just so true, when you can hear the sound of the music filling up a certain space, either through your headphones or the way the music fills up a closed arena at the music concert, that’s around the time when the music penetrates, yes, when the vocals together and instrument arrangement, whether separate or combined  Hits deep within and fill your soul... Well that what the music I listen to does to me. So here I am sharing that type of music Loyiso Bala - Nothing to lose If you follow me on Snapchat you would

Full comeback!

Full skirt/Midi skirt/Vintage style, whatever you want to call it, as long as it's mine! I'd always been more of a pencil skirt kind of girl and I never went wrong until one day while I was scheming through my Instagram feed I saw another fashion blogger wearing a full skirt and it just looked amazing, now this was well about a year ago and I told myself that I would find a skirt similar to it, I started searching online in boutique stores and each time I found something it was just either too pricy or just didn't scream at me.  I eventually stopped searching and just accepted that I'd probably never wear a full skirt.  Being independent doesn't mean that I spend all my money on myself, I've got priorities, which mainly involves feeding, clothing and entertaining my niece and little brother and on occasions spoiling my mum, but I do have this philosophy that once a month I do something extra special for myself, whether it's to buy a new perfume, bag or treat
