Denim Diversity


“Style is not a size it is an attitude.’ –Marina Rinaldi

A pair of perfectly fitted jeans are a must have in every closet. It doesn’t matter how good or bad a person feels, your favourite pair of jeans will always make you feel like a million bucks. And best of all, you can literally wear it everywhere. It just depends on the items of clothing you pair it up with and how you accessorize your look.

This beautiful lady is my cousin, she is the perfect example of a woman who loves and embraces her curves.

 I have combined different looks for different occasions to show just how versatile a pair of jeans really can be. Have Fun!!!

Jumping for Joy

A jumpsuit or playsuit is a piece of clothing that returns time and again and is a fashion must-have, as long as you buy a jumpsuit that fits perfectly in all the right places.

For spring/summer nothing will make you look and feel more playful or free spirited than a floral printed jumpsuit, combined with the right accessories and summer sandals.
Next time you step out in your jumpsuit, be confident and REMEMBER:

“People will stare. Make it worth their while.” – Harry Winston

Smarty Pants

  
"I like being a woman, even in a man's world. After all, men can't wear dresses, but we can wear the pants.' - Whitney Houston

Whether the pants are high-waisted or low-waisted, short or long, tight or loose fitting... pants will always be considered as one of the most comfortable items of clothing that can boost your confidence.
So put your big girl pants on and strut your stuff like a lady (in a man's world)!

As long as I got my shoes and clutch


“Playing dress-up begins at age five and never truly ends.”- Kate Spade

We all have special occasions for which we dust off our trusted Little Black Dress… but what do you wear with this LBD?

I’ve combined shoes (mostly heels) and clutch bags that will work perfectly with your LBD, or any other pretty dress for that matter. You can even combine these shoe & clutch combinations with perfectly fitted pants and a sparkly top.

So next time you have a chance to play dress up: slip into your Cinderella shoes, grab the most beautiful clutch you can find and celebrate!!!

SPRING FLING


Spring is in the air and this means that we can dust of our sandals & stilettos and get our floral summer dresses out from the back of the closet.

To me, spring is a time to celebrate our femininity and I do this by wearing a lot of soft fabrics with floral prints.

Spring is also a time to be a little rebellious as spring give us permission to be a little crazy. So don’t be afraid to mix your prints or to wear red and pink together! …Don’t be scared to go out in something other than a little black dress. (florals & light colours can be a winner at night)


Go out & celebrate spring, life and new beginnings!

Shower me with Shoes

I am not ashamed to admit that I am a total shoe addict, I have countless pairs and no space to put it and still buying more and more…and more…

This post was inspired by a gift I received last week: I got home one day after work to find a beautiful box with the name ‘ERROL ARENDZ’ on waiting for me. My heart skipped a couple of beats and I opened the box to find the most amazing and beautiful pair of nr 5 wedge sandals waiting to be tried on. SHOE EUPHORIA!!! …Now, I have been a fan of Errol Arendz, and his footwear in particular, since I can remember so this gift came from none other than my sister/best friend(she knows me best). I will be forever in her debt for buying me my very first Errol Arendz pair of shoes.

You would think that this is a once in a lifetime kind of thing but I think shoe karma favoured me as this is not the first time I received dream footwear I didn’t have to pay for.

About two years ago I got a call from a lady (fairy godmother) telling me that I won a voucher at Europa Art worth R 2 500!!! Normally the R 2 500 voucher at Europa Art means that you can buy about ONE pair of shoes. But, as I said, shoe karma: My sister and I went to Europa art in the middle of a shoe sale and left there with  4 (YES FOUR) pairs of exquisite and beautiful shoes! (3 pairs for me and 1 pair for my sister).
Had the shoes not been on sale the total amount would have been R 7 760. !!!
Call it shoe karma, call it dumb luck or even call it faith I don’t care…

As long as I have shoes on my feet I will walk to the next shoe store!

The Steve Madden wedges weren’t a freebie, I actually paid for it but there are two reasons why I included the photo:

* They were on sale so I paid a lot less than usual.
* They are EXQUISITE!
