Hello 2016!!!

Hi everyone...

 

It feels very weird to actually be writing this post as I have written so many in my mind since the last time I posted here. It has been very difficult to sit down and do an actual post due to many things (lack of a photographer but mostly lack of motivation) but I am very happy to be writing one tonight.

 

I really have missed doing this and have missed all of you and your strong support on what I do. Thank you so much for everything guys, mostly for allowing me to be me. All is deeply appreciated!!!

 

Quick Update: I have a photographer for daily outfits posts (my colleague - Mandisa Maforevane). She is a blessing in my life and she came at the right time. This is a major achievement for me and I celebrate everyday for this. You all know how much I have been struggling on this regard eversince my relocation to Johannesburg. All of that resulted in me not posting at all on this page. I know, I could have continued to post about beauty products I use or items I have copped (sneakers mostly) --- or even blog about my weightloss journey.

 

I don't know - I guess I was just demotivated. Last time I posted something here I felt like I was cheating you guys as I blogged about #AdidasSuperstarSneakers without full body pictures of me wearing them. I tried but became unhappy afterwards. Anyway, I am back now and I am intending to ensure that I give you all nice and juicy posts.

 

I have taken many pictures in the past month and I will try as much as I can to write blog posts about all those outfits - am sure you have seen most of them as I have been keeping myself busy on other social media mediums like Instagram, Facebook and twitter... I just feel a need to still write about them and be permanently available here.

 

I have many collaborations done and others coming up with designers, plus-size bloggers and plus-size clothing stores etc.... I cant wait to share info about all these projects with you but you will have to wait a lil bit :) sorry!

 

For tonight: ill share just one picture to remind you of how I look like, lol mostly its a reminder of how my style taste is like. I am not gonna talk about what I am wearing now as another post with enough supporting pictures of this outfit will be posted shortly. There is no particular reason why I chose this picture out of all pictures I have taken so far except that, it has captured perfectly what I am all about on the style front - "Vintage Inspired Style and me being a Sneaker-Head Queen".

 

Dress: Mr Price

Dress worn as a coat: Thrifted

Bag: Chanel

Shoes: Puma

Glasses: MiuMiu

 

Hope you are ready for everything good I am bringing this year (what is left of it). If you have any specific interest that you would like me to come on my posts please give suggestions on the comment box of this post - ill try my best to ensure all get covered depending on feasibility of the request of-course.

 

Good Night .... Rather, Good Morning y'all :)

 

Love you lots,

Curves Around The World: Peplum

 

Hey, Beauties!!!

 

Hope you all enjoying your Saturday! Its freaking cold where I am. Winter is sneaking in slowly but surely. I must admit I cant wait to pull out my winter gear.

 

This post is about Curves Around the World Peplum theme. I never really indulged into Peplum as a result I only have this peplum top which I bought on a highly discounted sale. I don't really have many reasons for not having more peplum items....at some point when its started being on trend, I kinda convinced myself that I wont look good in peplum as it will add volume on my thick hips but looking at these pictures my perception is changed - I look good and well proportioned. So, I was wrong!!!

 

Its clear that in future I will have to give some trends a benefit of the doubt before dismissing the idea of wearing them.

 

Yes, this is my version of Peplum Style. Hope you love it :)

Curves Around The World: Crop Top

Good Morning, my fabulous friends :)

 

Curves Around the World post has arrived and this weeks theme is CROP TOP. I love crop tops they just suite  my upper body as I have short torso so for me crop tops 

become normal tshirts.

 

The weather has been very bad as a result I have not been able to wear something that's crop top. Today, I am posting an outfit I wore early last week that has a CROP TOP with a front tie that I tucked in. I wore suspenders with this skirt because the waist is big. 

 

I promise to take other pictures when the weather is clear so that you can see a lil bit of skin because with this outfit there is no skin showing as I wore this at work. During weekend I don't mind showing my skin and therefore will take appropriate pictures for you. I like wearing my crop tops with high waisted skirts and or on top of my maxi dresses.

 

I hope this post qualifies for this theme, for now :)

 

How do you wear your CROP TOPS!!!

Curves Around the World: Week21 - Pink

 

Good Morning, Fabulous Friends!!!!

 

Its ROUND3 of Curves Around The World themed outfits. This Weeks theme is Pink. One of our members Nina came up with this theme because it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I am glad she suggested  because we have to honour and support this awareness campaign. So, this post is dedicate to all those who did not make it, the survivors, fighters and also serves as an education to those who do not know their status to encourage asap testing. 

 

I have seen plenty of bloggers educating their readers about Breast Cancer in total and I am happy about this because the more we talk about Breast Cancer many lives will be saved and empowered.

 

 

I wore this outfit at work this Monday. It was very hot and my dress is strappy and sleeveless - therefore, I had to cover up to protect my skin from the sun and hide my thick arms as sometimes I don't feel comfortable showing them.

 

Have you done your part to contribute towards Breast Cancer Awareness??? If you have not, please do something cause its the right thing to do :)

 

Dress: Woolworths

Shawl/Poncho: Thrifted

Heeled Pumps: Fashion Express

Sling Bag (worn as a clutch): Lehza Vintage

Sunglasses: TomFord - Sunglass Hut

Bangles: Pep Stores

Watch: Fossil

Curves Aroun the World: Week 19 - SEQUINS

Good morning, y'all!!!

Sequins theme for this weeks Curves Around the World has just arrived and happened. Since I am not a fan of sequins I really was scratching my head for this one because I have no sequined items in my closet at all. I thought I would buy a top or dress just to make this post possible - ran around looking came back tired with no luck. NO LUCK AT ALL :)

Few days ago whilst resting in my room my eyes met up with this sequined beret from my hat stand and whoallaaaaaa an idea immediately came :) I bought this beret this previous winter at Mr Price with another sequined navy one. Thought id wear them during winter just to familiarise myself with sequins as I own none in my closet at the moment. I had so many ideas as this beret is my focal point for todays post  but I ended up with this version: which I hope is appealing to you as it does for me.

I paired  this outfit with my recent buy *fashion world Spring Dress* - All other items worn are just thrown in to spice up and jazz up my outfit. I am pleased with this outfit. Hope you as well!!!

Are you the Queen of Sequins? Why? What do you usually wear them with??? What is your recent sequin buy?
 

 Wish id continued taking pics in my office with my phone - they are so clear and much nicer I think!!!
