Break out the burgundy!









The hottest new colour of the season is a lovely mix between red and maroon, the kind of burgundy that reminds you of a yummy red wine and wipes out memories of ugly maroon school uniforms. You’ll see this burgundy in all its different shades hanging out in all the hip stores...and I was finally able to get my hands on my very own beautiful burgundy piece. This oversized burgundy sweater was hiding in Mr Price when I was feeling in the mood for some retail therapy and promptly rescued me from my fashion rut.

I had some impulsive fun on the University of Pretoria campus shooting some pics of the outfit I threw together the very day after I went home with my new number in tow. Things are winding down on campus as the students prepare to go into exam mode, so I was able to sneak in a few pics without feeling too awkward (shooting fashion blog pics on campus can do that to you...) Luckily my boyfriend’s quite the amateur photographer and definitely not scared to act the role of pro fashion photographer!

Paired with mid-ankle boots, a chunky ring, and a golden chain necklace this sweater transforms from average to fashionable with help from winter’s three key items. What would you pair it with? Leave me a comment and let me know!
Till next time, happy weekend! xxx

This could be paradise!

Watching the music video for Coldplay’s latest hit ‘Paradise’, which is set in our very own beautiful South Africa with Table Mountain in all its glory the backdrop to the story the band tells with their hit song, got me thinking that you can basically find paradise anywhere and in anything...
(Watch the music video here!)
So I did some fun online shopping and found some great shoes which I’ve each connected to a paradise-like nature scene... Just goes to show you a simple pair of shoes could be paradise!

Graphically speaking...




I’ve always been a bit wary when came to printed or graphic t-shirts. I’m really not one of those people who likes to wear t-shirts with jokes or sexy little notes printed on it. I don’t like people staring at my shirt trying to read or understand whatever unreadable or unclear message I’m wearing scrawled across my chest. Neither am I one those people who likes to walk around with my favourite cartoon character plastered onto my t-shirt.
Yet the other day I walked out of a store with this funky navy-striped, cherry print shirt...and I’m seriously in love with it! I bought it in a size too big so I can wear it with leggings. I was so surprised at the amount of compliments my outfit generated! Best of all...it was super cheap! Only R50 at Legit... and they’ve got all kinds of graphic shirts with super cool prints so why don’t you guys join me in changing our ways...clearly nothing’s set in stone!
