I saw this amazing post by - Harper's Bazaar, and felt it fit to share it with you. The 9 habits of stylish women. What an amazing piece! I was inspired! Enjoy beauties!!! 1) They keep their closet organized.  While Cher Horowitz may have been able to craft a covetable outfit from a pile of clothes on the floor, it's not as easy a feat for everyone else. Hanging up, folding and putting away your clothes instead of throwing them around your room will speed up the process of selecting your outfit and help you edit your look and see exactly what pieces you're working with. 2) They check the weather every morning.  Make The Weather Channel app your best friend. You can be wearing the greatest outfit ever, but if it's not fit for the temperature or rain, then it's not a good look on anyone, i.e. suede shoes in the middle of a torrential downpour or layer upon layer on a day that turns out to be 80 degrees. 3) They plan their outfits out ahead of time....

I am based in the southern hemisphere so we are currently heading into summer. So below, is my tip on how to wear one of the biggest summer trends - 'Bohemian'..... Team your 'pretty' boho top with a ripped jean and tonal accessories Wear a matching shoe and bag combo if your top is printed. Tie and lace up shoes are huge for summer so choose one that matches your frame.

Plan Their Outfit the Night Before : It's not magic — or rocket science. The pulled-together women you see out and about really did try to look that way. And it all starts by pulling out the outfit the night before to save you from running around in a panic the next morning. Give Themselves Plenty of Time to Get Ready : This goes hand in hand with readying your outfit at bedtime. Instead of waking up three snooze alarms later, take the morning to prep your outfit and fix your hair. Not only will it save you from running out of the house with a button unfastened or mismatched shoes, but it'll also give you a few extra minutes to add a belt or a special piece of jewelry to polish off the look. Select the Right Undergarments : Stylish women know the foundation of a great look is good underwear. Plan for the fabric and silhouette of your look with the right bra, panties, and shapewear to provide the support you need, whether it's to ensure you're not inadvertently gi...

The White shirt! No, it does not have to worn with just a pencil skirt or a sharp menswear-inspired trouser! Add some 'drama' and wear it with a soft flowy skirt or a maxi! Team it with an accent broad belt and viola!!! 

I spoke at a blogger brunch a while back and was so blessed to see this blogger was inspired by my talk. Thank you Xana for the amazing write up!! Above is the image of the winter storyboard with some of my pics and below is a snippet of the feedback. ''We didn’t miss out on too much. There were three guest speakers viz. Margaux Knuppe from Rubybox, which I’ve already acquainted and worked with previously; Jill Hector who is a personal stylist and last but not least, the speaker who really inspired me was Meagan Duckitt. A fashion lecturer at CPUT, a stylist, a designer and a blogger'' Follow the link below for more.... http://www.xana.co.za/wearing-clarins-skin-illusion-2/

We often struggle with our face shape, and hairstyles and earring are quite a struggle to decide on. Over the next few blogs I will discuss the different face shapes what to wear to suit it. Long Face Shapes   Your face is normally longer in length than in width. If you measure the widest part of your face with a tape measure, the length is more. Oval Face Shapes    Your face appears narrower towards your chin. The silhouette seems oval and equal proportions from cheek to jawline.  Sweetheart Face Shapes    Your face is narrower towards the chin and wide cheekbones. Your chin is one of the most prominent features in your face. Square Face       Your face seems square and equal in proportion throughout length, especially your cheekbone and chin area, and your jawline is very strong. Round Face Shapes        Your face is quite circular, with soft bone structu...

I am writing a piece shortly about the best shoes for your leg shapes, but I stumbled on this amazing piece by Instyle magazine that was too juicy NOT to share!! Kudos Instyle! I could not agree more!! Athletic/Linear shapes Tap your sporty side with drawstring trousers (an upgrade from sweats), like Allison Williams'. They're not only comfortable, but the waist-cinching band encourages curves. Counter a too-athletic aesthetic with ladylike nude pumps. Curvy LET Christina Hendricks be your go-to muse and select high-waisted wide-leg pants (ideally with a crease down the center) to create a longer, leaner look. As for shoes, opt for a clean, classic pump, or a chunky high-heel sandal. Petite Look for ankle-grazing bottoms that are fit and tailored to your frame. Try to avoid dark ankle-strap shoes-the strap can cut off your legs, making you appear shorter. The goal is to lengthen. Reese Witherspoon opted for leopard print pumps, which built height and ...
