The current choices are Hong Kong (above) OR a combined trip to Dubai and Turkey - seeing that I have not been to any of the above please help me decide if you have been to any of…

GEOMETRICS

I stumbled across this recent photoshoot of blogger Chiara Ferragni from The Blonde Salad shot and styled by Nima Benati photography. I am so super in love with this shoot, everything about it screams innovation and excites my fashion taste buds. I adore the juxtaposition of the floral accents against the geometric back drop. Definately a future shoot idea to keep in mind and attempt. What do…

I Heart Pop Art

For several years, "pop art" kept a low profile and was considered a relic from the 80's; however recently pop art seems to have exploded in the fashion industry particularly when looking at street styles from the recent past fashion weeks. And although this topic of discussion has been mentioned and spoken about before I have had the chance to discuss it, it is too big to pass up.…

Giving into the Cold Shoulder

A trend that has taken it's time to reach SA is the Cold shoulder top. I have recently only started seeing these items at stores like Jay Jay's and Mr Price (unlike being around for almost an entire season abroad)

The Cold shoulder can be dressed down in denim or tshirting fabric but also looks great for evening wear, with higher end stores and boutiques now designing…

"Stripes and Stones"

The black and white graphic trend is a winning combo, especially when it comes to stripes. The look is classic and timeless and has been around for ages (and is not going anywhere soon) My favourite way to wear this trend is to rev up your monochromatic look with pops of bright colours, such as teal, chartreusse and hot pink. Stripes can also be taken into the accessories and shoe…

Bling Ring

Barbara Goatcher always had a passion for design and began her career at a well-known Advertising Agency in Johannesburg. After searching for a change in pace and some much needed inspiration, 2010 saw Barbara move from the Big city to a more quiet and peaceful Durban – which is when Flutter came about.
