After the music filled weekend I had, I couldn’t wait to do this post,  Remember how two weeks ago I did a Music Monday post based on the Chris Brown Concert I attended... if you don't remember have a look  here Well this week it's quite ot similar, although it's a lot closer to home (pun intended) I not only attended another music concert over the past weekend, but our church Destiny Ministries hosted it! And believe it or not, I was more hyped about it than any other concert. The concert formed part of our three night conference our church hosted; we were celebrating 14 amazing years of ministry! and I've been with the church, for about 10 years and I must say it has been a fantastic 10 years, I started out attending the Sunday School, then I joined the Praise Worship team as the youngest choir member, until I was old enough to attend youth and several years later being co-youth leader! It has been a crazy journey and I wouldn’t trade it for anything! A...

Song of the week Remember the first time a did a music Monday based on the Chris Brown concert that I attended. Well it's on fitting that the song of this week be one from the artist of the weekend. "I  used to think life was all about playing church i'd say a prayer that's enough till next Sunday" There's no denying that most of us have been there or maybe we know someone close to us who has the same mentality.  This song talks about how we have a routine of things and no hunger for God, despiste the catchy tune, this song has a lot of motivation behind it, the chorus lets us know that God is always up to something good, we just need to let him work in us. LOYISO BALA - SOMETHING GOOD

...and black Black on black with a pop of pink! one of my favorite combos, you can basically glamour up an all black outfit with this combo. You can either go for a pink lip or pink bag or pink shoes...it just works You could even do this this with a print, my favourite being  leopard print, and just last week  I did a pop of aztec print  here Now I know it's pretty basic because, but trust me, it looks good. Try not to over accessorize your outfit especially for work, because you'll end up looking like a melting ice cream cone with colourful sprinkles everywhere. For this look II didn't add a neck pice because I wanted to keep it simple, the shirt is cut low, a choker necklace inside would have have been perfect, but for a night out, not for the office. You've probably noticed that I like pointed toe shoes, this is because they're the most corporate looking, the rounded ones also look corporate, but they tend to be uncomfortable, I always stay away fro...

Oh you know, sometimes I'm at work, sometimes I'm not... No, that's not what that title means, The title is actually about a long awaited outfit post about two casual items working together! genius right!  My personal style is more edgy than anything, so when I have to do formal wear, it takes a lot of preparing to do, once again reffering to my blog name, I consider myself ritzy, meaning elegant, fashionable, lavish...but I'm particularly reckless in my ritz, I like to add edge and just about anything out of the ordinary. Yes my work contract does not specify that I have to be formal, it just says something along the lines of  "smart" wear. In this post you see me taking skinny jeans and a casual chambray shirt to another level, an office ready look, all I did was put on a pair of nude court heels, button up the chambray shirt to the collar, tuck it in, added a little classic statement necklace and I pulled off smart! Now don't risk this with deni...

What better better way to break the silence than with music, it's another  music monday done on a Tuesday (hence the title) because of load shedding, lol, this is not an excuse, it's a real reason, I was unable to post in time because my devices were off when load shedding struck, my apologies for the delay. and i must say, this hasnt been an easy post to do, mainly because I didnt know which song to choose, I know that the day is almost over to get you going through the day, but who said you only need the song for a Monday or the morning?,this could be your song of the week! I know, I'm pretty awesome like that. It's true, I am a music junkie, and yes my tatste in music ranges from "dude you have to have to hear this to please don't judge me on this one" It's actually funny because I had song in my heart all week right up until the momemt i had to do this post. needless to say, I took to my own medicine and I just let the music...

I wish this was a suit, but it sure looks like it so yes, power suit nailed! This illusion of a suit is an absolutely easy task to pull off, mainly because of the colour, it's not difficult finding a black blazer to match black pants and yes black is most certainly my favourite colour, not because it makes me look thinner, (I do not wanna look any thinner) trust me. It's simply because it takes the amount of class in an outfit and notches it up a bit.  Enough background info, let's talk about what happened with this look, you'd think the whole suit thing is what made my look, but it's actually this awesome Aztec print scarf. I've had it for about two years and I've styled it so many different ways I can’t get enough of it, (I should probably do a post about that) I tend to shy away from wearing prints, I always think they look amazing on other people, but I hardly buy them, so to make my looks more interesting, I always try to add something w...

Who said you can't bring sass to the office, this one's for all those with a 9 to 5      Just because you sit at your desk all day making someone else's life better doesn't mean that you can't look good doing it.  With work wear, in fact any wear it's the basic concept of look good, feel good.  When I'm slaying, the better mood I'm in, that simple! For my long weekend recovery look, I just wanted to 'bring it' yes, I wanted to flaunt my tiny waist and long legs so the perfect thing was my favorite high-waisted pants, I found these pants from JayJays by chance, they're a perfect fit and also my favorite colour. It's okay to make a work outfit pop so because the rest of my outfit was basic black I wore this checked shirt from the kiddies sections at Ackermans (hides) it definitely does not look kiddies section when it's buttoned up to the top and topped off with a statement necklace! Boom! Outfit made. No actually my w...

Comfort is everything at concert. You're going to be on your feet, you're going to be around a huge crowd and probably out at night. This is why I chose this simple denim shorts, basic white tee, high-top converse sneakers, plaid shirt around my waist and a cross body messenger bag. Turns out I wasn't the only one who hacked Chris Browns style from the  Loyal  video outfit.  I saw many girls and guys with a shirt around their waist and many girls with shorts, which was absolutely no mistake because I had no wardrobe failure and I felt like I was oozing of swagger. I didn't use much jewelry because I didn't want anything jumping around or falling off so I went for my  ErabyDjZinhle watch in a hot pink to brig out some vibrance and a simple small pendant chain for the v-neck of my Tee. On the night I wore a beanie so that I didn't have to worry about my hair being in place while I was jumping around, but you'll see in the pictures I also put on a baseball ca...

I've decided to theme Monday's on the blog as Music Monday. Not only will this help me to always have a post for the beginning of the week, it will also put a song in someone's heart for the day and you know what they say about music.    Now for the exciting part of this post. Last Thursday Johannesburg was turning up to my favorite artist, Chris Brown! And of course I had to be there, so let me take you through what the concert was like, to what should be worn on such a night out.  The special guest artist or more like the only opening act was August Alsina. He came on the stage almost two hours before The main act, August famously serenaded the crowd with songs like kissing   on my tattoos  and make home . The crowd blew up when he performed I luv this s**t August got off the stage and left the crowd awkwardly standing around with  only background music while waiting for Chris Brown. After a 10 minute countdown timer at 9:50pm Chris hit the sta...

High-waisted anything! Jeans or skirts they are always what I gravitate to when I've changed outfits more than three times.  For this look I paired these amazing pants from the Nandi Ngoma X Legit range with with my favorite and only white shoes from the Lalla X Legit range to dress up my high-waisted pants. To sexify the look, I put on a denim shirt from Mr Price, yes it is a button up, but I didn't make use of the buttons, I just wrapped it around my waist and tucked it into my pants because I wanted to add the statement necklace that you see in the last two pictures. I put on my mirrored aviators,  Grabbed my backpack and was ready to hit the road for an afternoon out with the girls.
