CLASSICS: LEATHER AND BRAIDS AND BLACK

Braids, leather and black will never go out of fashion. And I'm in love with all 3.

Oh and Fridays. Gotta love Fridays. Random I know but these were taken Friday night (yesterday). And I had one of those really long weeks so I needed Friday to come already.

Chaa-w for now. ;)

LET'S PLAY DRESS UP AND GO TO THE OSCARS

So I think it's clear by now that I'm all about (playing) dress up. And if I have no where to go, I live in a pretend world where I have an occasion to get dressed up for (not that you ever need one, beautiful clothes are to be worn whenever necessary which is always). 

Having all the time in the world because I'm not really going anywhere, improvised and selfied using my beautiful friend Nikon D7100, 1/2 Oscar looks (because you can only see half of my outfits, because no tripod). 

I don't watch much TV, therefore I didn't watch the Oscars. But if I had, I would be there for the red carpet looks. And thankfully I got my dose of that from the Internet. Thanks girls and guys. 

The Oscars usually are the most conservative when it comes to red carpets, and so they should be as most black tie events are. You are a potential award winner, or attendee, or VVIP, or all 3 first, before you are your own person.  Like most occasions you have a dress code to abide to. Which is why I must confess how incredibly happy I was when I saw Chrissy Teigen in a stunning dress with her Eiffel Tower long legs exposed by a side slit. Long slit. Long slit too long. Long slit too long for the Oscars. They said. "Never that"- She said. Go girl! *high fives BFF*

I shouldn't go on.

I just want you guys to peep my 1/2 outfits. Inspired by how I think I would want to look if I was all 3 things mentioned above attending the Oscars. Inspired by Angelina Jolie's relentless slayage of the colour black. Inspired by Kerry Washington's slick hairstyles, inspired by Emma Stone's versatility in every hue she's draped in, and most importantly by dreams, and that woman who reminded you that wherever you are, whomever you are, your dreams are valid. So play dress up, and go to the Oscars. :)

Chaa-w for now. :)

MODERN MARY POPPINS

 I really had one of those days where I spent enjoying the very simple pleasures life offers but seem to find myself not doing enough of. Instead of shying away from the sun and avoiding heat rash, I put on my cute new vress (my version of a vest disguised as a dress) :) , a cute (borrowed) hat that makes me feel like a modern Mary Poppins and my favourite wedges and took a walk in and around my neighbourhood. 

Spent the day basically floating in a bubble of my favourite things: 

the sunshine, long walks, red lipstick and love. 

Chaa-w for now. :)

SHE'S WORKING AT THE PYRAMID, TONIGHT

I had the busiest Saturday, viewing a few venues for a wedding! Nope! I am not the one getting married! And neither am I wedding planner (I am hardly a planner of anything).

My favourite cousin is though! So I spent the whole day pretending to be a wedding planner.

And then I spent the rest of it pretending to be Cleopatra.

If Cleopatra liked high waists and crop tops.

A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNFLOWERS

So this dress is probably my favourite thing in my closet right now.

I've had it for about a month and I've worn it twice already in the space of a week.
Another abused item in my closet are these orange block heels I've had for some time now. And you may have noticed that because I haven't stopped wearing them since the day I copped them at a once in a life time *Top Shop sale. I say once in a life time because it's very rare that I feel like a sale is A SALE at Top Shop. 

Anyway it's *solid hearts* a thousand times over for this dress. And my beloved blocked babies! 


CHAA-w for now. ;)
