Summer,we bid you adieu

So we can officially say bon voyage summer will see you in a few , it's time to button up,boot up and prepare for winter thrills. Let the cosy knock downs commence and the munchies sessions evolve and just because it's cold doesn't necessarily mean that hibernation is the only answer.  This isn't any ordinary typical black and grey winter. This winter is ALL ABOUT COLOR , PRINTS and everything BOLD. Check out some of the winter trends.

1. Bold colors

As there a still no signs of fading statement pieces seen on the runaway , we draw to the conclusion that colors are the choice of season which without a doubt applies to coats, bags , purses and shoes which can come in tomato red to gold,electric blue or shades of the rainbow. 

2. vaux fur vests

Faux-fur vests are a key must for the autumn/winter season. Choose a predominately neutral coloured vest for versatility and functionality.

 

3.Sweater dressing

A relaxed , oversized fit extends past the hips , with eye catching prints and colors. This can be worn with jeans, skirt, tights,leggings or a dress, the slouchy silhouette goes with everything.

4. Prints

Bold prints have been adopted by previous seasons. star prints are quite a popular trend ( and my personal favorite trend) at the moment as well as any other bright geometric patterns , preppy prints and polka dots

Tied Up

I'm loving the versatility of the tie neck blouse and it's ability to be really chic , eccentric or preppy by mixing and matching garments but remember with this look less is always more. Remember the one to one ratio , one fabulous feature means holding back a little on something else. It's truly retro - inspired elegance, it's like having a key accessory already built in to your look.

Bow tied they feel prim and poised ; undone they're just a little sexier.

 Try pair it with some flats , leggings and oversize bag or if your wanting something fun for a night out - look for a flowy dress version and wear it with a belt or a Pencil skirt.

Fashion is love

Teal-rific

Teal – is a strong, blue toned green which suggest ocean depths and the color of the sky as daylight descends into darkness. 

I have become quite obsessed with teal lately and all different shades of green.

  I love how this deep blue-green shade highlights all skin tones and is a universally flattering color.

It goes well with neutrals, darker browns and especially black (in my opinion), I find it to be a good transitional color between summer and Autumn.

Happy Autumn.

Come fly away....

The animal kingdom seems to be one of the main inspirational sources for fashion at the moment. This season, however, there’s one pattern that has caught designers’ eyes more than the rest : THE BIRD PRINT.
The design took flight off the runways of various designers— Such as Marc by Marc Jacobs, Jill Stuart and Suno.

Unlike animal patterns and tribal-inspired designs, this look works well as a soft print. With sherbet-tinted shades making a comeback this season, there's all the more reason to incorporate paler hues into your wardrobe. 

By selecting either a blouse or pair of pants with some kind of bird print you’ll achieve an elegant, breezy look 

The bird print can be found on almost every kind of clothing and accessories including dresses, tops, bags and jewelry. This trend is just so simple that can be worn all the year. So it brings a very fresh style in your outfit resulting in an innocent look. 

This Look is inspired by freedom and open wilderness, channel your inner free spirit with this happy-go-lucky trend.

Love.Light.Peace

Things that Sparkle ....

 

I’ve officially become obsessed with Sequins over this holiday season as we could always rely on Christmas season to provide us with a bundle of glittery options.

Sequins have contiuned to shimmer their way into the New Year for all of Cape town's upcomming events ( J&B Met)

but to wear this trend without looking like a giant disco ball, it is important to not over-do it. Personally I would choose one glitzy piece and pair it with monochromatic colors or neutrals.

It's quite a bold statement piece so if your one those more demure ladies that find sequins are bit much for you , you can always throw in sparkling clutch( Accesorize, Nicci ,Slate , Tripple Seven,Traffic),Shoes with sequin detail ( Traffic , Tripple seven , Aldo , Zoom) and for those who love to sparkle.... head to Wardobe , The lot or Tripple Seven for sparkling sequins dresses and skirts.

So to add a little extra dazzle to your summer collection ,I advice you to jump aboard the sequin wagon.

We all need a bit of sparkle in our lives.
