Solange x Puma Kicks: 4 Inspiring New Faces

Lecters!

Solange Knowles also known as my fairy-god-mother has recently joined Puma as a creative consultant working on their latest campaign. Needless to say, I love this! I'm not a massive fan of Puma or their sneakers but this will definitely make me consider a pair. I'm stopping buy their online store to give myself a look at what they have in-store.

What I thought most interesting about this piece of work is that it intro'd me to 4 inspiring young ladies I think you should know about too. Lord knows I love an inspiring young woman. There is a little more on WhoWhatWear as well as TeeTeeIsWithMe for your reading pleasure. Enjoy!

Pretty Finds: Indalo Bags + Jabu Ties

Just sharing two very impressive pretty finds I've just stumbled upon, both by local manufacturers.

One

Indalo Bags, wowza, I have to have one of these like yesterday. I'm busy bargaining with my inner accountant to let me have it against my budget. Not a crazy purchase though cause they are an absolute steal for under a grand. My wallet is definitely itching for one!

Two

These Ties by Jabu. I bought one on the spot! For R150 each they are an amazing accessory to transform a drab shirt. I'm not the fashion files but I love these and I think they are bang on trend.

Pics below.

Xx!

AMAZE!

Just so you see it again and love it more.

She has a large range

#ThreeThings

Hi Friends,

Here's my latest #ThreeThings. I haven't yet solidified what gets to go onto the list but for now, it's three things I have and love or would love to have. This one is of the latter.

1. Plum lipstick shade. Looks like this is the season's shade
2. A stylin cap...summer's going but still
3. A fly pair of Js. It's Beyonce, she made me do it. (--_)

Alexander Wang

Lectors!

So admittedly only after hearing the name in a Jay Z verse my curiosity led me on a small goose chase to find who Alexander Wang is. Is he Vera Wang's estranged yet brilliant fashion designer son? (I already saw the plot of an amazing television series here.) Or was he just coincidentally another fashion design apt Wang? The goose chase was just a matter of hitting the Google button and boom, there it was. Well, of course the latter is true (BOO!) but I was pleasantly surprised by the interesting women's wear he creates. Androgynous yet somehow quite flattering. I love a good fashion find - Thanks HOV. lol Pics from his site below.

:)

Classics

One simply cannot beat the classics. What makes any creation timeless? This has been the subject of my ponderings for a while now. What is it that allows certain peaces of design to remain acceptable as beautiful to eye, while others offend the eye even months from inception? It could be a matter of symmetry or balance. Either way every lady needs a classic peace in her wardrobe. It's a statement of class and style over fashion and trend. Just saying, maybe this is a good reason for me to blow a month's salary on a peace from Chanel (^^,)

#ThreeThings

1. Bright Pink Lips 2. Big fros 3. Vintage Earrings 

This is my very own fashion feature, #ThreeThings. It comes from my tumblr blog and I had left it there to veg - all is not lost, I am officially reviving it on this platform. Hopefully weekly/biweekly I will grace this here page with a selection of my hearts occupants at the time. Here's the first pick.

Happy Monday!

Ndebele Print

I love Ndebele print, firstly because I am Ndebele but also because it's right up my alley...can you say spanking fresh!? Wowza! I need my own full set of traditional wear for women my age (to wear to weddings and such - which might I add are rife lately. No I'm not getting old.) Also, I need something trendy to mix into my fun-time outfits...which are everyday outfits in my career..lol [^^,] (Can you see the Brag in my eyes? muhahahaha.)
