Tarty Monday!

I don't do this very often but I actually really liked this outfit & feel like it successfully epitomizes who I am and my style which is often a bit all over the place and difficult to describe. Aaaaand quite frankly, this is my blog so I can actually do whatever I want with it so... yeah... :)

The End.

Beyonce as Mrs Carter in H&M.  

Is this woman for real?!? 

I hate you. 

No I don't. 

 I actually love you Bey. 

You're so pretty & silky & curvy & your hair is amazing.

Designer love: Natalie Creed

I found an article about this girl on ifashion & fell in love instantly.

Her name's Natalie Creed, she's a designer & she's from P.E., (which over the past few years has actually produced some very exciting design talent) but you can read all about her in the ifashion article

What  really caught my eye was the actual collection which I found really wistful & light & contradictory actually for a Winter collection but somehow still really wintery & cosy.  It's also nice & simple yet magically devoid of basics which is what local designers tend to do a lot of (which really tends to bore me).  Soooo long story short - I have every intention of getting myself a few of the below items.

The Talented Mr Jacobs...

Can't wait to see Marc Jacobs in his silver screen debut film, "Disconnect".  I fell asleep halfway through the trailer but I'll watch it just to see this part. 

Here's the rest of the trailer: 

SAFW - TREND ROUND-UP

So now that SA fashion week is said & done, I took it upon myself to sift through all the runway show images & kind of summarize the newest key trend messages for SS13 as shown by our local designers (bearing in mind that there are constants like african prints, embellishment etc).  It's taken me a week & I'm sorry about that but I hope it makes it easier for you. Enjoy!

1. TROPICAL - this is a big theme being overseas too so prepare get your print on!

2. Contouring - This was really just from Tiaan Nagel's show but it's a really exciting move from the angular shoulders we've done to death now.  Hope to see a lot more of this.

3. Monochrome - Black & white errthang!!

4. Peplums - peplums & more peplum... sigh... moving right along...

5. Geometric prints - loved Black Coffees prints - so exciting & look forward to seeing a lot more of that.

6. Shift dresses

7. Colour blocked & fabric blocking - specifically on the chest.

 8. Sheer - this ain't going nowhere! We're still gonna be seeing lots of undies next season..
