QUEEN KUNTA

I don't know what it is about having a head wrap or wrapping your head up in a bun that has you knowing for sure that you could rule over the seven kingdoms tomorrow. Or is it just me?

Here I basically didn't really feel like anything high maintenance, since I was headed to a pop up market. But then my boyfriend's top and my favourite high wasted jeans also felt like the outfit was incomplete, until I decided to do my hair like so. :) 

And what are my outfits lately without some ruby woo Mac Loving?

Also I've realised that there are *songs that are playing in my head when my outfits are complete and I'm ready to walk out of the door. So here I'm jamming Beyonce ft. Nicki Minaj's 'Feeling myself' and Kendrick Lamar's 'King Kunta'. Nothing can stop me now. :)

Whilst we're talking about queening, Naso was the lady behind the lens and I really loved so many of the shots she took that it was so hard to just post only a few. You are a gem Naso!

And Chaa-w for now. ;)

DREAMING OF CANNES

I've been definitely dreaming about going to Cannes. You could swear I've been there the whole week. Blame it on that dreamy Raf Simon's cruise collection for Dior Resort 2016, which I still feel LIKE I deserved to have been part of. But isn't that what all fashion lovers deserve? I can't be alone.

Typically, I decided to channel my energy away from the envy and rather towards this ivory white on white ensemble that I believe resembles what the French are known for: romance and perfectionism. White isn't for the faint hearted, it's to be worn at your own risk but when you do pull it off, the end result has you feeling like you should indeed be walking the streets of France or cruising along the coast of the French Rivera enjoying champagne and looking at admiring beautiful people draped in beautiful clothes.

As per usual, I have to mention that my favorite item for this look is this recent find, my long length sleeveless blouse. It's gonna be a classic in my wardrobe. And  I think it works well for both summer and winter seasons. So if you're concerned about the colder winter nights, throw on a trench coat or parker, and that should do ok. Just note that my secret for winter is to layer layer layer, on top or underneath. Just layer.

Chaa-w for now. (read as Bonjour) :) 

DARK SUNSHINE

I’m finally embracing the cold mornings and evenings with warm afternoons in between. So I've decided to channel my denial towards looking for anything black, grey or white in my closet (or at Cotton On, Zara, Mr Price, Top Shop, a thrift shop etc.) for a borderline monochrome look. For these two reasons:

1. Everything (most people too) looks good in these colours. You just have to make sure you wear it right, FOR YOU!
2. The plan isn’t to always up look like a dark cloud. My plan is to do the monochrome look often, yet add one bright item that pops out, like I did here with these bright orange block heels, next time it could be a scarf, or a hat.

This will be a winter rule for me. Please do join me. This is so that we don’t forget that the sun will of course shine again.

Chaa-w for now.
