Snake Skin Leather Skirt - Mr Price | Leather Jacket - Mr Price | Lace up Block Heel - Legit | Vest - Legit | Ring - Adorn U Jewelry 
 Hey guys

I'm back with Lookbook 2/2 of my Leather Edition.
I decided to do a Leather edition because I'm in love with my leather jacket and one look just wasn't enough.


As I've mentioned my leather jacket and I are in a serious relationship and it's helped saved many of my 'laid back-no effort' outfits. It just adds that extra element to any normal outfit and helps to create an edgy look.



Another item I love from this look are these lovely lace up block heels from Legit.
I mean how cute are they?
When it comes to shoes I'm seriously obsessed with all things black and these are definite must have's if you're trying to grow your black shoe collection like me.


The statement item in this look is definitely the snake print leather skirt. I'm not much of a leather or snake print girl but  I had to make an exception. It isn't ill fitting or unflattering thanks to its bodycon fit.

I hope you guys  like this look as much as I do.

Minimalism is now my middle name.
I've found comfort in being minimal when it comes to putting together outfits from my closet and this look definitely agrees with that.



You can wear it in a professional work environment or you can throw a leather jacket over (which I've done here) and make it into a suitable outfit for a classy night event or a cocktail party.



I particularly love the lightweight pastel pink pants which I got from Mr Price a while ago.
I'm going to have fun dressing them up with a simple pair of heels or go casual by wearing them with sandals or even trainers.
The color is also perfect for someone like me who won't be wearing florals or bright colours this summer.

You'll be seeing a lot of neutrals coming from me this summer so look out for that.

Hope you enjoyed this post.

 Bodysuit - Mr Price | High Waist leggings - Mr Price | Light Weight Blazer - Thrifted | Nike Roshe Runs

Decided to throw it back on a Wednesday to an overdue lookbook post I did when I was in Capetown.

This look is simple,laid back and also very comfortable and can be worn whilst running errands,going shopping,campus or for a lunch date with your girls.



My favorite items are the light weight blazer which happens to remind me of Lavender (hence the title) and my Nike Rosheruns which are currently my most worn/favorite pair of trainers. I got the blazer from a thrift shop and I was quite excited about it since I've never owned an item of clothing in that colour. Haven't worn it with any other outfit besides this one but I'm looking forward to exploring and creating lots of outfits with it (so look out for it on the blog).

Hope you enjoyed this simple lookbook.

Bodysuit - Mr Price | Leather Jacket - Mr Price | High Waist Palazzo Pants - Mr Price | Ankle Boots - Mr Price 

I can't give an accurate answer when I'm asked about which season I prefer. I mean I dislike the cold weather but I quite enjoy autumn/winter wear. I'm not much of a short dresses/shorts girl but I like sunny,warm beach type weather. I guess I like a bit of both.

Cape Town is getting rather cold and I'm certainly enjoying dressing up to its conditions,especially since I'm a Durban girl and we don't get to experience much of autumn/winter because it's relatively warm all year round there (however the climate seems to be changing quite significantly over the past few years).


Whilst exploring the beautiful and vibrant streets of  Cape Town I did so in budget friendly style (all items on this lookbook purchased from Mr Price). I absolutely love my ankle boots and leather jacket and I'm literally always wearing these items (if you follow me on any social network you'll know).
Ankle boots and leather jackets are trending this season and I had fun putting together this look with both items blending in effortlessly.

As I have mentioned in my previous post I'm changing things up my wardrobe and finding my style and color pallet and I think it's safe to say that dark colors suit me really well. I've always loved black but I've always seemed to dabble between black and bright colours and now I've found my true love.
I will be wearing other colors of course but during this transition you'll be seeing me in a lot of black,I mean a LOT so be prepared lol. I just love how it accommodates any colour and it's also quite versatile.

Let me know what you think of this look.

Current Products 2016

Hey guys,
I've been a bit MIA but my life has been crazy lately. Just to update you on what's been happening - so I started my professional full time job in January which required me to relocate so I had to leave my friends,familiar surroundings and photographer behind. My job also makes me travel quite a lot (I write this post all the way from the Eastern Cape),so you guys can imagine the rollercoaster ride I've been on but I'm not complaining because I prayed for this job.

Anyway moving on to the topic of today's post. Thought I'd share with you guys some products I'm currently using and do a little review on each of them.

Avon Ideal Flawless Pressed Powder (left) Avon Ideal Flawless Cream-to-powder Foundation (right)

Avon Ideal Flawless Cream-to-powder foundation 
Purchased on promotion  at R119 regular price at R149.95
This foundation has a smooth silky texture. I bought this in Nutmeg shade which was a bit dark for my complexion but upon application it blended well and the difference in shade tone compared to my skin wasn't too noticeable. It's quite rich and thick and gives full coverage with just two coats. It comes with a sponge that helps with the application and to even out the foundation. This isn't my favorite product simply because I've got really oily skin and after wearing it for about 6 hours it leaves my face quite shiny and really oily. It also tends to melt a bit in my t-zone so if you have oily skin and you want to use this product I'd suggest you use a primer and apply a pressed powder to even things out and to achieve a matte look. The foundation didn't wear too long because of my oily skin I think I wore it for about 4 hours and then had to retouch.

Avon Ideal Flawless Pressed Powder
Purchased on Promotion for R99.95,regular price R119.95
The second time I wore the Ideal Flawless Cream-to-powder I used the pressed powder which I bought in the toffee shade. The powder certainly helped with the oiliness and melting of the foundation, I noticed that my skin was matte and it helped increase the longevity of the foundation. The  powder shade was also a bit dark for my skin tone(I can never win at choosing the correct shade for my skin tone -Help!!) but it blended well with the powder and didn't make me look too dark. I would recommend this powder to anyone especially if you have oily skin like myself.

Maybelline Baby Lips

 Maybelline Baby Lips
Purchased for R39.95
I absolutely love this product. It's smooth,moisturizing easy to apply and makes my lips feel great.I love how it doesn't create white residue on my lips if I've worn it for quite some time,it has this minty feeling and leaves my lips feeling somewhat 'refreshed'. I always find myself repurchasing this when I run out - it's that good.

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Cream

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Cream
Purchased for R19.95
This is also another one of my absolute favorite products. In fact I love the entire Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula range. This is actually a travel size body cream but I use this as hand cream. The cream is rich,thick and leaves my hands nourished for a long time. Have I mentioned how amazing it smells? I've got relatively dark hands and knuckles and since I've used this cream on my hands I've noticed a slight lightening difference on them. This right here is everything and more!!

Salon Pro Kate in New Romantic (left) Tip Top Nailchic (middle) Essence Colour & Go (right)

Salon Pro Kate in New Romantic (got as a gift)
Tip Top Nailchic R39.99
Essence Colour & Go R19.95
If you know me well you'll know how I absolutely love nail polish and I have a mini collection. I'm currently in love with these colours which is quite weird because it's summer and most people tend to go for the more brighter colours. The Salon Pro and Tip Top last slightly longer than the Essence colour & go but it's nothing a good top coat can't fix.

Let me know what you thought of this post and if you'd like to see more of these,whilst you're at it do share some of the products you're currently using.
