Ruffles, tiers and sunshine

Image
This summer ruffles and tiers are huge! The key is to ensure that you keep it simple! Ruffles add volume, hence it could make you look bigger, so be careful of the fabric you choose. I find that chiffon and gorgette ruffles (in dresses and skirts) are extremely flattering for all frames. Check my older posts to find your bodyshape guide. I opted for a 'strappy top'... ...and layers starting below my hips... ...and teamed it with my silver flats! Ruffle dresses are special enough, so keep accessories minimal!

Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on their beautiful wedding! I don't know about you, but one could definately feel the love! What a picture of love! The iconic 'kiss' that melt our hearts. Meghan stuns in a sleek minimal Givenchy dress.  My 5 favourites at the wedding were: Australian actress - Jacinda Barret is the epitome of sophistication in this beautiful berry dress. Carey Mulligan is absolutely feminine in a demure floral dress. Serena Williams is so regal in her assymetrical rose ensemble by Versace! Gina Torres definately towers in this red lace Costarellos dress. Amal is my absolute fave in this striking yellow dress!

Pretty Preppy!

I am an absolute 'girly' girl and LOVE my dresses and skirts, but I also enjoy a great fitting denim and super sleek suit! So if preppy is your 'thang' why not play up your pinstripe blazer with a supercool distressed denim?  A Pinstripe box blazer is always cool.. Work your blazer with a white shirt... ...and pearl embellished denim... ...and pops of colour accessories! And don't forget the attitude, - bosslady! Details are key! A cute 'bright bag' with matching earrings and heels are so edgy! And your insect brooch is so hot this season!  Any insect accessories from dragonflies, to beetles, to spiders are on trend! And if you have not bought an embellished denim, just add it yourself like I did! DIY,  bapee! Yes, you can be trendy on a budget like me! Blazer - Truworths Shirt - My hubby's old Woolies shirt (thank you darling!) Denim - I

FitFlop launches their cool sneaker range and I am trialling a pair!

I LOVE a good pair of kicks. Two obligations for my sneakers are - they must be supercomfy and they must be trendy! I am collab'ing with FitFlopSA and BeautyBulletin and received my gorgeous kicks over the weekend! YASSSS GIRRRRL!!!My hubby collected it from the couriers and his first comment upon receiving the box was  - 'They are so lightweight!!!'. Of course I did a summersault when I saw them, and cannot wait to show of my OOTD! YASSS!!!!!   The branding is trendy and soooo mod!   These kicks are lightweight, and made of an Uberknit that moulds your foot. Because I am on-the-go kinda girl, I love that the laces are not functional and you slip your foot in!
