I know that it’s September and technically Spring is here but I’m not quite ready to give up my monochromes yet! I think that joggers and a slogan tee are a good way to slowly ease into the warmer months. If you keep the outfit fairly simple, you can go a little crazy with the jewellery as you can see I’ve done here.

This is one of the tees that Jacqueline from Stylistique gave me to style. It’s one I’ve been after for a while now and I love that it feels a little oversized because that just adds to whole comfy chic feel of the outfit.

When I saw these joggers at Mr Price I just could not resist. The cat print is adorable (at least these ARE cats, I’m looking at you HELLO KITTY!!!!!) and they are comfy as heck. I want to give an award to the person that invented joggers because they have saved me from being an absolute grouchy pants on many an occasion. You can pair your joggers with flats, ankle straps or courts for a chic look or wedge sneakers or high tops for something a little more street. I chose these sweet Zara heels because and I hadn’t worn them yet and Spring called for something pastel.

Although I personally feel that pearls will never go out, they seem to be very in right now. I have lots of different strings of pearls and I love layering them together with my other necklaces for something unique. Check out Zara and Zuri for some stunning faux pearls. I finished the look with some MAC St Germain lipstick for a little more pastel detail.

What will you be wearing this Spring?

Until next time

Hello lovelies! Today I am sharing a look I put together with a t-shirt the lovely Jacqueline from Stylistique Designs gifted to me. She told me to pick a tee from her collection and then she chose an extra one for me. This is the tee that she chose for me and I’m really surprised and humbled because we barely knew each other but she made the perfect choice! There are some super awesome designs in Stylistique Designs’ collection and you can get them on a sweater, vest, t-shirt or hoodie. They also do the most amazing pillowcases and cushions too!

If you know me you know that I love my city. Heck, just my blog’s name will tell you that. Every day I discover new reasons to love living here despite the crime (it’s really bad, but you have to be vigilant and take steps to keep yourself safe… also there are other dangerous cities out there) and the dry Highveld climate (nothing that can’t be fixed with a humidifier and some good hair-care and skincare products). I originally just wanted to shoot these photos in my backyard but Shuaib dragged me out. He says that i have to show off my city on the blog. We shot these in Rosebank near the Gautrain station. It is fast becoming one of my favourite shopping spots and I love coming to the Zone for coffee, movies and fro-yo.

I decided to keep the look monochrome with a slight edge. I love to dress in a simple but edgy way and a pair of statement heels and some jewellery is all you need to go from comfy to chic. I also added some Kelly Yum Yum lipstick to the mix. I love the bright pink and the lipstick feels amazing on.
