Xpresso opens it's 3rd Coffee Cafe!

Image
Hello Xpresso! I don’t know about you, but I am a sucker for a well roasted, wholesome coffee – especially a frothy, tasty speciality coffee. My day has not started if I did not indulge in a beautiful cup of coffee. Thus, -  I was in disbelief when I stumbled on an express coffee café in Capegate mall,  called Xpresso, where EVERYTHING is R10! When I say everything…..I mean ALLES!!! That is less the $1 and less than 80 pence per item!! WHAAAAATT???? Best Price                                                                                    Quirky vintage store feel I have been programmed to believe that when something is cheap, the quality is cheap! Indeed! But -  this is not the case here at ALL! This is a java café  that would put mos...

My faves at the Golden Globes

Hello divalicious divas! I'm sure by now you have seen the GG 2017 so I've pulled a few of my faves, and not-so-faves, heehee! Enjoy lovies! Brie Marson in Rodarte The Mullevey design sisters are brilliant at capturing femininity and this gown -  is no different. The drape teamed with the sequins and the floatiness of the fabric is an absolute winner! Nicole Kidman in Alexander McQueen Love the drama in this AMcQ dress with the sequins and feathers, typical of the designhouse theatrical style. I know the sleeves are not everyone's cup of tea but I love that Nicole is a bit adventurous! Priyanka Chopra in Ralph Lauren Bronzy golds on olive skin is always exquisite. I love the juxtapositioning of the modest dress VS the revealing cleavage! Naomi Campbell in Versace This was one of my favourites. I'm speechless! Emma Stone in Valentino The nude embellished dress is gorge! It captures Emma's quirky personality but with complete e...

Hello my fashionfantastic divas! AS you know, it was the AMA's and there were some amazing outfits, and some outfits that needed sensoring! EEEEEK!! See my hits and misses below! HITS! Lady Gaga     She definitely earns the right to  be called a 'lady' and she looks elegant, yet edgy!WHITE is always RIGHT!! I love the juxtaposition of the slim jacket VS the wide leg trouser! Brandon Maxwell - you outdid yourself! ARIANA GRANDE     Isn't she so cute? Such a little dynamite! I love the cropped top, I just wish the trouser was a bit higher on the waist, it would been so much more sophisticated. GIGI HADID     She looked amazing in the lace Cavalli dress however, just a bit more cover on the'female bits' would have just added a bit more sophistication. Yes, she is young, and gorgeous, and a supermodel, and...and...and....but it would have been great to leave something up to the imagination...... JENNY MCCARTHY Simple, sleek...

Colour, colour, colour!!

Hello my gorgeousness! I absolutely LOVE colour! We often are told that black hides and covers, but did you know that vibrant colour actually brightens your mood? Well, colourblock will ALWAYS be on trend. SO if you are confident enough, show off your brights in your tops, and match it with a printed, FUN skirt! If you recall my previous blogs on skirts, I mentioned that this dirndle and flared skirt fits most frames. So why not wear the bright color in the top, match it with your court and accessories, and you have a happy, mix of sophistication and youthfulness. Keep the prints in the skirt soft and not too bold. Repetitive prints are the best! If however, you still do not feel confident enough to go that bold, bring the colourblocking into your shoes or handbags, or wear a contrast neckpiece! Still absolutely sophisticated with an adventurous edge! Viva Le Diva!

Dress over pant

Image
Still unsure how to rock a dress over pant? Choose a soft fabric like a viscose or a silk blend so there is space to breathe! Choose a stunning print! Throw over a belt and matching clutch! In this case I used a studded belt  and clutch to add a bit of an edge to the soft top... ....and match all of this with a plain dark denim! Voila!
