The Chloe' Summer Dress

This is the summer dress every fashion magazine is talking about, the Chloe' languid plisse' dress. Gorgeous isn't it? I want it so bad.

The back and side detail on both dresses looks lovely, and I love the ad campaign picture,taken by Glen Luchford.…

The Big Bang Theory

Big bangs are a huge trend this autumn/winter, they were seen on the runways at Marni and Versace and the look is thick, block fullness. Not the soft, wispy fringe.

They're statement-making and they're bound to turn heads!......................................................…

Vogue Bride

I adore these dresses that were featured in Vogue a while back. I love the contrast between the innocence of the white dresses and the pure sexiness of rolling around in hay. This is a beautiful editorial featuring model Anja Rubik and images shot by Camille Akrans....................................…

JHB- Mercedes Benz Fashion week

Abigail Betz made an amazing comeback at this years show.

Her entire collection was as always very feminine and ladylike,which has made me always love her clothes even more.

Tropical Winter

Just because winter brings along dreary clouds and sad tones of gray does not mean you need to do the same to your wardrobe.



This winter, opt for bright tropical colors when choosing, sweaters, coats, tights and even shoes. It not only looks good but it makes the cold days seem a lot more brighter too ;)…

Over Sized Sweaters

The nights are getting colder and the days are getting shorter, which means one thing,winter is approaching. Soon we will be bringing out all our winter attire, and a definite must is the over sized sweater.

Be careful not to go to big, as it can look frumpy and unflattering. The best way to go about it, is by choosing a sweater one or two sizes bigger than your normal…

Dolce Gabbana Fall Collection Sunglasses

These fancy, kitch sunglasses from the Dolce Gabbana Fall 2012 fashion show remind me of something a very cool Marie Antoinette would have worn back in the day of Versailles.

They are very cute to look at, but I don't think I would ever wear them. How about you?…

My absolute favorite are the PINK sweat pants, they come in…

Messy Braids

Unpredictable weather often forces many women to twist their hair into buns or pony tails, but my new favorite is the messy braid. Models floated down the Spring runways of Lela Rose, Alexander McQueen and Valentino wearing wispy braided plaits.



Here is an easy way in getting this gorgeous look:
