I was just walking in town and as we’re in summer I could not help but notice the sheer amount of tunics worn over figure-hugging or bootcut pants or leggings by women of all shapes and sizes.

Polka Dots and Leopard Print: Do they match?

August 5, 2012

I had a debate conversation with a friend of mine yesterday about the workability of polka dots with leopard print.

July 29, 2011

I’m not usually one for mass-trends, but there are always some specific, fun things which I like. Not because they are in fashion, but more because I just like them irrespective of trends and time. But having said that, I do like to keep myself up-to-date on what’s happening on the fashion scene. And my [...]

One of my favourite looks for the soon-to-come Autumn 2011 is one, which I like to call the “Mary Poppins look”. I love the effortless style that you can create with just a few simple pieces: A long skirt, cute jacket, heels and the cherry on top, a Fedora hat. And yes, I know, I [...]

July 24, 2011

When you are creating an outfit out of several different prints and patterns, there’s a fine line between ‘just right ‘and ‘too much’. It’s a funny thing, but I really do think that having an eye for style and what looks good is just something that you’re born with. It’s always the same thing. Think [...]

How To Be a Modern Day Hippie

May 26, 2011

I’m really feeling the hippie look of this Spring/Summer. So knowing myself and my eternal desire to educate myself, I started to read up on the whole hippie culture.
