Mom Knows Best

Hello Lovely People!

Today's outfit features an item from my Mom's closet. Raiding my mom's closet was one of the best things I've done in the past year (hihi). This white shirt is just awesome. I fell in-love with it the second I tried it on. I love that shirt dresses are trending this season and I didn't have to pay for mine. It's different, retro, minimalistic and I'm totally nuts about the detail on the front. I love the attached waist coat with embroidery, totes amaze!


I paired this wonderful piece of clothing (the shirt) with leatherette leggings. I'm not brave enough to wear a shirt dress alone. I had to wear something underneath. I accessorised the look with black court heels, a watch and a clutch bag. I didn't want to overwhelm the shirt with too many accessories as it has a simplistic look to it. I went for a monochrome look to maintain its simplicity.






I'm learning to appreciate the sense of style my Mom had back then. I too would've dressed up like that.

Shopping with a difference

Hi Everyone! Today's post has been on my mind for a very long time now. It's something very close to my heart... On my last visit to Cotton On Galleria the lady at the counter asked me if I'd like to make a donation by purchasing a bracelet or a bottle of water. I was pleased to do so. The proceeds go to the Cotton On Foundation. The Cotton On Foundation is aimed at reducing poverty and improving the lives of those in need. This is a great initiative as it focuses on four pillars: Education, Health Care, Sustainability and Infrastructure. They funds projects in Australia and Uganda. They work relatively close to the Nelson Mandela Foundation and Caring 4 Girls here in South Africa. Bottled water that can be purchased from Cotton On for only R10 Arm candy available at Cotton On for as little as R18 Another great initiative that I've come to learn about is the M.A.C AIDS fund. It was launched in 1994 and it is a safety net for people living with and affect...

It's hour time - Era by DJ Zinhle

Hello Lovely People! I've got a confession... I'm an ERAHOLIC. I'm so obsessed with DJ Zinhle's brand, Era by DJ Zinhle. It comprises of arm watches, bracelets and clutch bags. The clutch bags are only available for a limited period. They come in two colours, black and white. I obviously went for a black clutch (I'm that nuts about black!) and a heart beat monochrome watch. There are other combos to choose from on her online store. On her online shop   www.djzinhle.com  there is a wide variety of watches and bracelets. I loved this silver Eraholic bracelet, it's also available in gold. Era by DJ Zinhle watch collection is also available at selected Legit stores, for a limited period (List of stores below). I love how they bring something new to the brand. I can't wait to see what they'll add to their collection this year. List of Legit Stores 1. Bloemfontein 2. Boulders 3. Campus Square 4. Century City 5. Church S...

Travel Diaries - Cape Town

Image
Hello Loves! A week ago a friend and I went to Cape Town for the weekend. It was the first time for both of us. We stayed at the Lagoon Beach Hotel. I enjoyed my stay there and part of me wishes I had stayed longer.  View of Table Mountain from the hotel Cape Town is one of South Africa's capital cities and it is also known as the Motherland. It is a huge tourist attraction because of the Table mountain which is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Robben Island, Cape of Good Hope and V&A Waterfront to name a few. Cape Town is quite a small city as we were able to navigate around Table Mountain in our small rental car.   On Top of Table Mountain It's a beautiful city situated next to the Atlantic Ocean. Growing up on the east side of the country I've always been exposed to the Indian Ocean which is pretty warm. We took a drive along Camps Bay and Hout Bay. I wasn't brave enough to swim because the water there is freezing cold and it was ver...
