POOFY SLEEVES

Dress Shirt and Hat, MrPrice// Shoes, Fashion Express// Jeggings, Sissy Boy
Hey Everyone!  

 I trust that your work week hasn't been too hectic thus far. I started work on a few Mondays and I've met my new bunch of grade 8's. So I'm still in the memorizing of names phase (which I've become pretty good at since teaching). 

Anyway, when I got in touch with Miskaa Price from Iridescence Design I was quite thrilled when she agreed to do a few shots for the blog. The things that I look for in photographers are those who can give a good sense of direction, one who can make me feel comfortable when taking pics and especially the ones who love pictures to have that natural feel to it. Tip to new bloggers : when taking pics, relax your shoulders and do not be stiff. I think it shows on camera. Yeah, I might be pretty guilty of that too (Laughs). 

 

Lets talk a little about this look. When I spotted this dress at MrPrice a few months back I loved the dress but unfortunately the store didn't have my size. So I was stuck between the letting the dress 'go' emotionally and try to move on and forget about it. Sounds dramatic eh? Then to my luck when I returned last week I saw the same dress shirt (I say 'dress shirt because one can wear it either or) and scored it for a whopping R50! 

The few aspects I adore about the dress shirt is that I love this shade of orange. It gives me such a cool tanned look. The material is slightly sheer and that's why I opted to pair it with my old faithful white Sissy Boy jeggings. What is more eye catching about this shirt dress are the sleeves. I've always loved poofy sleeves but not those huge ugly ones, but the soft delicate ones that can add just enough 'oomph' to an outfit. I love the fact that I feel so 'girly' in this item. The shoes are so so comfortable and versatile and I scored them for under R200 at Fashion Express.

LOOK POST | HOLA SENORITA

Hello & Happy Monday to everyone!

After brainstorming many ideas on what I should entitle this look post, I settled for 'Hola Senorita' which means 'Hello Miss' in Spanish.My reason for settling for this is because when I had a closer look at the pictures it sort of reminded me of a beautiful garden somewhere in Spain (One of the countries on my bucket list)!

Sadly, this was not taken in some pretty garden in Spain but rather at the beautiful Shelleys Goumet cafe 
by the VERY TALENTED AND MOST AMAZING photographer : Fatima Khan-Wise from memrsme (check out her blog)
She is also one of the photographers behind Chroma Creatives designs (check out their website).

I was immensely happy when Fatima agreed to take these pictures for me as most of my pictures are taken by Nur in which I have to remind a week before the time that we will be doing a look post for the following week (Laughs). 

I love the way she works. During the entire photo session I was talking about my blog to her (Laughs), and while these pics were being taken, I thought that me talking the entire time will be evident on the pics. When I received it, it didn't show at all. This does not only show her RAW talent but one can be super comfortable around her as well!

LOOK POST | SIMPLE ,

 Hey Guys & Girls! Firstly, I would like to take this opportunity to wish everybody a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR. While most bloggers are re-capping on the last years' happenings, Myself and Nur are stopping on the side of random roads to take pictures! 

And that's basically where the following look post begun. I entitled this look 'SIMPLE' due to the fact that that is exactly what this look is- SIMPLE. With that being said, it is also how I'd like to start off my year with look posts which embody simplicity (hopefully). 

The sweatshirt-which reminds me A LOT of Riri's style- I bought at Cotton On. The boots which you can view HERE

is an item which I can't go without. It is for this reason that I am so thankful to Cape Town for its wet weather we've been having lately. 

I have a feeling that these Utility Boot Cats and the Timberland will be on SUPER TREND for next Autumn/Winter (Well, I'm hoping it is). The rest of the look is a combination of undone hair and burgundy lips, My fav! 

What do you think about taking random pics on sides of roads? 

 

Have a stunning Friday and weekend <3

xoxo
