Guard The Vintage Pop up Party

Along with the Hey Gorgeous Brunch which I attended last week and Saturday I also made my way to the other side of Town to the Circa hotel in which Yusrah held her pop up party. Upon arrival I was greeted by Yusrah herself and her stunning grandma. 

Her living room area was converted into a mini shopping aisle with all things VINTAGE! Personally I am convinced that I belong in the 1920's (I think) as I am always attracted to anything vintage. I love how one can wear something 'modern' and add that little element of surprise, maybe a leather clutch from way back when or an over-sized floral shirt?. No matter what,  you have to love Vintage elements. 

On sale were male and female clothing as well as accessories which ranged from R80-R550 (If i remember correctly). Below are some of the pieces I particularly love, the shoes with leather patches is something I loved the moment I saw it, and it was just my luck as it was a size 4! Unfortunately I did not purchase it as I was a little indecisive about what to pair it with (kicks myself). 

all-in-all a fun and tasty experience (The cupcakes on arrival)

That's all.

LOOK POST: Rough around the edges

I hope that everyone enjoyed reading my post on Nivea shower & shave as this was my very first product review! I hope to do more in the future. 

On the flip side... 

This shoot was taken in our back yard along with KiKiCoCo photgraphy, according to her, she wanted something which envisaged a  'rough' looking atmosphere and nothing complimented my outfit more than the tyres in the background and old wheel barrow:) 

What i wore...

 We paraded my closet for something that would compliment the theme well.

We opted for a Burgandy skinny jeans ( Click here)

A plain Camo Tshirt (Bought almost 5 years ago)

Sneakers 

Aviator sunglasses 

The truth ...

To be quite frank, I am not embracing the 'camo' trend very easily as I am with the burgundy. I feel that designers do not know what to do anymore, for this reason they are recycling what was once 'cool' in the late 90's and are bringing it back again purely for the sake of making sales. For this shoot, I wore the camo in minimal portions even though KiKi suggested 'MORE IS BETTER'. 

Finally...
