{OOTD} | MUSE//MEWs


Hooded Top – Shop Brett Robson | Jeans – H&M | Boots – Timeless Shoes (Gift) | Sunglasses – Primark


The hysteria of Pokémon Go was at its peak when I was in the UK and I spent a great amount of time hunting and catching with my brothers. It was loads of fun, of course, and we also managed to see and identify loads more monuments and landmarks than we would have without the game. The downside was that we didn’t have power banks or portable chargers so our adventures were short lived.




Honestly when Pokémon Go was announced all that time ago I really didn’t think it would take on this well. I’ve always loved Pokémon, it is a warm and safe place for me and it’s something I can share with my brothers despite the mega age gap.



If you’re a regular reader you’ve probably seen my previous Pokémon themed posts. If not you can have a look here and here.

This is a very casual outfit and for running around (and catching Pokémon) I’d probably switch out the boots with sneakers. The hooded top is another winner designed by friend Brett. There’s tons of gorgeous stuff in her store right now so best you have a look. ;)

The lipstick is Urban Decay Vice in Violate. I am OBSESSED with these lipsticks. More on that soon though!


Now, best I’d get going. Jigglypuff is trying to alert me of the Mew (MEWS/MUSE haha!) that’s lurking about.

Denim // Velvet // Tulle


Dress – Thrift Store | Tulle Underskirt – Custom | Shoes – Call It Spring | Velvet Jacket – Custom | Glasses – Prada



Today I’m sharing an outfit I wore a while back to SA Fashion Week. I know, I know; that was ages ago but the truth is that I somehow lost these photos and I found them over the weekend. I was very determined not to spend money on anything new for Fashion Week this year so I “shopped” in my closet and this is what I came up with.


I got this lovely dress at a thrift store four years ago. The jewelled denim top and tulle bottom caught my eye and I had to have it. In my impulsiveness I didn’t realize that the skirt was high waisted and way too short. I really couldn’t part with it though and it took me four years to come up with the brilliant idea of layering it with another tulle underskirt.


The velvet jacket was sewn for me using the design of the jacket from a suit my Mom wore in her 20s. I have that suit too now and I’ll definitely wear the original soon. I love to wear different textures together and the soft velvet made the perfect outerwear for the denim and tulle dress.


Chic heels, my oversized Prada tortoiseshells and a coat of MAC’s Ruby Woo finished off the look.



I am becoming more inclined to make use of what I already have in my closet than to buy new things. It’s always great to come up with new, distinctive combinations.


Until next time
