{OOTD} | The Last Days of Summer


Shoes – Flossy | Jeans – H&M |Top – Forever 21 | Necklace – MrP (old)


The weather has been inexplicably blazing hot despite us being well into the Fall. I long for the cool air (and an opportunity to wear my coats and pashminas) but I’m also trying to make the most of the warmth by exploring my city.



I snapped these photos while out at 27 Boxes in Melville. It’s a very casual outfit that can be dressed up with heels and accessories. The top is quite simple, but the text on the back adds some character.




In this “look” I chose to wear comfy flats from Flossy. Flossy is a shoe brand that originated in the Rioja region of Spain where the shoes are still produced today. The loafers were worn by artists and sailing enthusiasts of Barcelona and the Bealeric Islands who wore them across the Mediterranean.


Flossy shoes are not just your average loafers though; they come in all sorts of lovely fabrics textures and prints. You can get a basic pair in bright or pastel shades or you can be a bit more quirky with bold prints like tropical flowers, leopard print and liquorice allsorts (!!!).


Each pair also smells lovely and sweet like cotton candy, so you don’t have to worry about wearing them all day. I’m keen to wear my Flossys when I travel because they are so practical and comfy but also look uber stylish. I’ll definitely wear them on the airplane and while sightseeing.



Have a look for yourself on www.flossy.co.za . They also have free delivery which is a total win!
I hope you all have an awesome week!

Until next time

{OOTD} | Cool for the Summer


Jeans – Salsa Denim | T-shirt – Divided @ H&M | Shoes – MrP | Bag – Steve Madden | Necklaces – Istanbul | Sunglasses – Mahmutpasa Street Istanbul | Bracelets – Istanbul and Swarovski

Hi lovelies! Today I’m sharing an outfit that I put together with very basic pieces. My hair is quite long here because I shot this look a while back.


In summer it’s quite difficult to put together stylish outfits because of the intense heat. I’ve learned that you can’t really go wrong with a great pair of denims and a white tee. Invest in good quality basics and build your outfit from there.


Accessorising is key because you can turn something really simple into a something stylish with the right accessories. For this outfit I chose statement sunglasses, a snakeskin box clutch (because snakeskin is in!) and simple jewellery.




I finished with white heels to give the outfit a cool clean look.

How do you wear your basics?

Until next time
