Do you sometimes eat really messy when no ones looking? have a really loud laugh? Just tie your hair up/leave it loose without having a comb through it for days(like I do)? or bite your nails for no reason at all, except that all these things come so naturally to you and truly make you who you are? That's great because you don't really care what people think because you aren't and never will be in their mind to see what they really think so who does care anyway?pffft.


A good friend once said: "Some people go around the world meeting people and trying to be like other's having never met themselves". Ever find yourself spending so much time with someone you start to talk like them?dress like them? even adopt their bad habits? STOP IT RIGHT NOW, because that's not very smart.


Embracing individuality has not come in a better form than in being a human being (a fashionable human being at that). We all have our different ways of embracing and showcasing our individuality and mine is through fashion (you guessed it) and many other things, but fashion being my main form of expression.

Below are a few pictures I've reblogged from my favorite blogs, Fashionfever, Cupcake Couture, Miss Milli, The Sartorialsit and The Mr.Price blog; all of which have inspired me and encourage me to keep on being loud and proud about ME (and my dress sense):)


I have a new found love for bow ties ("kitty bows" like my mom would call em)










A blazer adds that tot of class to any ensemble, loving this green and neutral combo with a dash of floral



Love the casual pop of colour






This is a winner, from the floppy hat to the leopard print and printed tee, anyone for some effortless style huh?




This is what everyday wear looks like-effortlessly stylish


Loving the cut of this dress, the print and the heeled veldskoene-clever

I started yet another fashion blog because this one (I do admit)is a bit "scattered" or perhaps my inconsistant side's just kicking in whereby I start something a million times over, chopping and changing my mind like it's going out of fashion (not that my mind would ever "go out" of fashion-i'm too addicted).So I reconsidered feeding my inconsistency and decided to build on this blog, because in the end it would be rewarding to see where I began, don't you think?

On my mind today is my future, and although that's vaguely on my mind every day as a matter of fact, today I am particularly foccused on it and not trying to avoid thinking about this subject just because my career dreams are dauntingly huge.

I want to be a singer, a writer, a graphic, interior and fashion designer, possibly a tv presenter, an editorial model, a magazine editor, fashion editor or director...most of all I want to be on my feet; I've discovered that after 4 months of sitting behind a desk from eight to five is not my thing at all. I know we all have to start at the bottom of the food chain (not that the silver spoon fed kiddos do)but I don't want to be confined to a desk, dressing conservatively (though that is a recognisable trend: the conservative pussybow blouse office lady)because I feel like I am lying to myself, BUT for the sake of gaining experience and being able to feed my fashion addiction, this job will do for now, I repeat, now.


It's a mix match

fashion-my weakness

So it turns out that fashion is my weakness (second to love, ofcourse). On the weekend I bought a pair of gorgeous lace up shoe booties with my last pennies. It's something nobody would understand. According to my boyfriend, that could've been used on something way better, so I pose the question: what could possibly be better than anything at the moment of spotting the perfect pair of shoes for winter (in my case 80% of items i spot and buy are the "perfect" whatever), well nothings better-ask any fashionista the world over.

Anything thats sequins, camouflage, tweed, check or polkadots need to be feature items, and should not consist of your entire cupboard because then you're heading for disaster. It is true that too much of something's bad (not too many clothes, but you get the idea). Basics like a white vest, dark skinnies, a crisp white shirt, a trench coat, a cardigan, a sharp point shoe, a round toe shoe, a flat boot, a stilleto...items you can dress up and down and use to complete an outfit.

I'm loving the military look all over again, maxi tee's and floral (still), nude shades,heeled hiking and riding boots, black stockings (again), forest green
and am currently on the look out for the "perfect" pair of flared jeans.

Just admit it, you're fashionably gay

It's true, that women dress for other women. 20% of the time it's for men (on occasion). When a woman gets dressed she always wonders what other people(uhm women) will think of what she's wearing and how she looks on the whole. Admit it, the female species care what others think and enjoy mentally sizing up, comparing, what ever you want to call it. Look at red carpet events, it's the women who dress to the tee, and men too, but more so the women. Then you have tv shows like "fashion police" on E!Entertainment who crit what the galz of tinseltown wear. It's obvious: Fashion was created for women to hate that they love other women's clothes. The irony of it all is that Fashion Forerunners were men: Giorgio Armani, Marc Jacobs, Dolce and Gabbanna, Balenciaga...

When people laugh at other's who dress "different" I think to myself: "Do you realise that you're actually the stupid one, because you're laughing at someone expressing their individuality while you too caught up trying to be like someone else." Instead i laugh at those who have it all wrong.

I admire people being different and just themselves, especially through their dress sense. So often I want to go up to them and say something at the risk of seeming forward and sometimes I do but most of the time I hold back...but it's a new year, everywhere I go, my camera follows. I will be getting streetwise with street style this fashion year.

I'm absolutely loving maxi dresses and skirts paired with chunky platform heels aswell as tight high waist skirts and vests tucked in. flowy little dresses and lace numbers, preferrably short have my heart.
