Snuggle Bug

So Today it ended up being really chilly and rainy. In the mornings it feels really warm but I guess it's because everything is always a rush to get done for work. Argg- it makes me so mad because I know the temperature yet I still dress in hope that it might be warm at some point during the day.
I wore a white shirt with my sleeves rolled up, jeans and pumps... Definitely the wrong outfit.
This morning my original outfit was brown boots, brown accessories and white shirt with jeans, but I decided to change- bad idea.
Anyways I love winter and the weather. I love dressing and feeling all snuggle. With coats, boots, scarves and all the trims.

Maddies cute shoes- Polka dots

 How stunning does Maddie look?
She was sophisticated yet stylish. The colour scheme resembled 'nautical' which was amazing. I love her shoes- this for me completed the whole outfit making it a form of art.
Great!!

Runway VS normal girl 2

 Loving these maxi-dresses espcially in stripes. This is from Jill Sanders ready-to-wear 2011 range. Although we are moving into winter, here in Cape Town, this look is great from Summer, even Spring. It has a essence of 'Nautical', I guess it is the mere fact that it is stripes and the colours happpen to be white and blue, even the white and black below. These dresses aren't tight fitted which is a factor that I love. Not everything needs to cling to your body to be sexy or appealing. Loose fitting is just as azamzing when pulled of correctly. Another thing that made me love thhese dresses is their design: the basci neckline is not often seen in dresses. Plain and simple, resembles a vest and is both stylish sophiscation and relaxed casual. It is just so unique!

 This dress, similar to the one above is not as flared but still not fitted. If you arent that daring, opt for this style. The neckline is higher which I find 'oh so appealing' and the width of the straps are wider. Although the stripes are horizontal and can pose a threat to ones figure, I would attempt purchasing and wearing this particular dress.

So now we see a fit variation of this style of maxi-dress, pulled off by a normal female who is not a runway model. She pulls this dress of with such ease and style. The neckline is similar to the blue and white maxi above, but still something about this look is a MUST. So who wore it better- runway or noral girl 2?

Runway VS normal girl

 So remember this ws one of the first images on my blog- well I've seen this look! The girl (Lydia) on the right hand side with the white shirt tucked into the skirt- I loved the look then and still love the look now.

This is a image taken from a magazine, portryaing that exact look off. Well Done Lydia, you are a great fashion icon for females.  Who pulled the look off better, the runway or a individual living amoungst us...I vote the above image, an normall girl.

DENIMS

The above images are examples of the right way to wear jeans. So glad my colleagues set great examples of what I blog about.

Oh My Word- DENIMS! In 1873 Blue Jeans was invented by, the amazing, Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss. These two guys are heroes of mine as I can live in jeans. Denims are just so versatile. You can dress it up and dress it down and style it to suit your personality.

-denims

I love the various ways designer’s makes denims/jeans for guys. I studied design and fashion and found a great interest in deigning denims and jeans and although it is much easier to make it for guys, a mild design should be available to females.

- wearing broken denims:

When I was younger, I thought it was so cool to wear my jeans, covering my shoes and the ends would eventually become worn out and torn. But times have changed and honestly ‘what was I thinking!’ I could easily blame it on my tomboy stage but it was just me not knowing any better at that time. Now at this age, I find it so annoying when I see people walking around looking great but their jeans hemline is busy tearing apart. My boyfriend has a pair of jeans like that, that hemline has died long ago and it’s being shredded. Ah- why, that all I ask myself.

Jeans are bought with the hemline in tacked. If the hemline was meant to be shredded to strips, the designer would have made it that way intentionally. So let all not do that. If you are short, suffer from a lack of growth, like me, and you buy a pair of jeans; please, I beg you, take it to a tailor and get it shortened so the hemline ends where you need it too. Please.

-same pair of denims ok?

I feel if you can style it differently then by all means- go ahead and wear the same pair of jeans daily, weekly any amount of days.

-flare jeans

All I can say is- I was once able to pull of flare jeans but now I’m not sure how. I have to re-evaluate myself with regards to flare jeans.

-skinny jeans

This is my new favourite clothing purchase items. Doesn’t matter what shade of blue it is, for me it is a must have. It goes hand-in-hand with tights or leggings. You can wear it with anything and it portrays your bottom half of your body so great with a loose top or dress.

-white jeans

How do you pull off white jeans: I think you have to be a certain size to pull these denims off correctly and with style. Me, I’m thin but have bigger thighs especially my inner thighs and I’ve tried on a pair of white denims on but to my horror I appeared to look like a white baby elephant. This was in a cubicle so I dare not even bother purchasing it and walking in public with them on. I congratulate and am actually a bit envious of females who are able to pull white skinny jeans off. I constantly see a colleague of mine, which works in Marketing, she wears her white skinny’s with such style and fits her body so well, looks as though it was made and tailored just for her.

-black jeans

Black jeans are my favourite. They are able to make one appear thinner than what you actually are- is it a mental illusion or is that true, who knows the answer but it makes me feel great when I wear black jeans. My only concern is; how do I wash it without the black of the denim fading or white marks from the machine power getting on it. Drives me insane.

Kendal Jenner

OMW- she just looks great!
I think she is so naturally beautiful and has a essence about her. She doesn't even need to try to look good, she just does!

Umbrellas and rain coats

Living in Cape Town and our winter especially when you work in the City, winter gets extreme. I will go out looking for just the perfect umbrella to go with all my outfits, only to let the wind whisk it up and completely brake it. What is the point.
So now my question is- are the stylish yet affordable rain coats?
I have not seen but it's my mission to find some. Getting up and getting dressed is great but it is not so great when you have put in all this effort and energy to look amazing, simply 2 seconds of being outside (maybe running from the car to the building or even worse walking from the bus to work) ruins your complete look and nothing, I mean NOTHING can fix it.
I feel i might have that problem soon and I'm dreading everyday that leads closer and closer to our winters.
But lets see...
And so it all begins as we depart from Autumn and emerge in an extreme winter.
