Longer length dresses are my most worn items during the summer months. I’m uncomfortable with anything that’s close fitting especially when the sun is out and the temperature rises. The feeling of anything clingy is unbearable – unless I’ll be wearing it for a short period of time. This vintage style inspired dress is feminine and stylish with a lovely neck detail, double slit…
Purely by coincidence, I came across a tea room secretly tucked away in Seefeld, Zurich which serves tea – English style with homemade cupcakes, scones and cakes served with clotted cream and jam. On the menu are Dessert Tea and Afternoon Tea which comes with sandwiches. This shabby chic style little tea room has three tables so it’s best to…
Sunglasses are the must-have accessory for summer, especially the teeny tiny ones with the minuscule lenses which just about cover your eyes. They offer no sunlight UV protection whatsoever but we are not talking about been practical or protecting our eyes here…just about looking cool in one of the futuristic, Retro, Matrix styles. If you aren’t owning a pair of…
Spring is probably my most favourite of the seasons. As we leave the long cold winter and sometimes dreary days behind us, we gladly welcome spring with open arms… as it’s well overdue this year or so it seems. Off comes the thick layers and it’s time to store away chunky sweaters and coats and make room for lighter clothing.…
Blazers are all the rage right now and rightfully so. This is a staple that we all should have in our wardrobe. A blazer can really change the look of any outfit besides keeping the chill at bay during the transitional period. It’s sometimes difficult knowing what to wear as temperatures can change drastically on the same day. A blazer…
One of the top 10 colours for spring is lavender – a softer shade of purple. This hue ranges from a barely-there tint to a more vibrant one on the colour spectrum. It has been seen on the spring/summer 2018 runways and has been popping up quite a lot on social media. This colour suddenly seems fresh and is perfect for spring. It’s…
Gone are the days when sneakers were reserved for the gym or any type of fitness activities – and we had to be content with the same classic styles. The sneaker is now a street style staple, and is effortlessly stylish – and along with it, we now have comfort. Yes, girls! Fortunately, we now have a vast array of…
Kimonos are stylish, easy to wear and perfect for the transitional period depending on which material you choose – from lightweight, transparent to something a bit heavier and warmer…there is one for everyone and every occasion. What I love most is the versatility of the kimono. You can choose from a basic to a more elaborate one depending on your…
In today’s post, I’m wearing a classic dress with a gingham print which gives it a very modern look…bringing it right up to date. Gingham print has been popular in 2017 and is still going strong. This print comes in many sizes and bold colours. Gone are the days when it was just reserved for tablecloths. I have no doubt…
Most times I wear natural or neutral looking makeup. I’ve added a few new items to my makeup bag. All these products that I have selected are so easy to apply… and I literally do my makeup in 10 minutes, unless I’m going for a neutral look which takes me a whole lot longer. Sisley Foundation I’ve tried many different…
My outfit today is a bold vertical striped jacket with a horizontal striped jumper, paired with simple black trousers. I intended to wear the full suit (you can find the trousers here) but opted for a more low-key look instead. I love how the jacket falls loosely and best of all… it doesn’t crease which makes it perfect for travelling or…
Today’s outfit is from my closet. It was one of those winter days when the sun was trying to come through and so I expected a warmer day. It was actually very cold because of the slight wind. Nevertheless, I ventured out in an outfit – not really appropriate for the temperature and pretended it was warmer – while hoping…
Skincare is right at the top of my list. If you are aiming for flawless looking makeup, then take care of your skin by using the right skincare products. Doctor Babor hydro cellular Hyaluron cream is part of my daily facial skin care routine. Those who follow my blog would have seen a post here. Hyaluronic acid is a molecule that is…
My all black look today is dramatic and sophisticated while been edgy at the same time. The one shoulder top is simple and fitted which balances the proportion of the flared pants. I love the fit of the neckline as it stops just at the right place and doesn’t cause overspills of any kind. Lately, I have been buying more high-waisted pants…
Some years back when I was on vacation in the Caribbean, I came across Ligne Saint Barth products, founded by Hervé Brin, who uses the knowledge of his Breton and West Indian ancestors. The company uses all natural ingredients with Caribbean floral overtones to create harmony and a sense of well-being. All products are created on the island of Saint Barthélemy (French…
In Crocodile River Valley, in the Francolin Conservancy, Pretoria is the Restaurant Mosaic at the Orient. The hotel mirrors the Moorish culture with its oriental and Middle Eastern style set amongst beautiful lush gardens. Restaurant Mosaic serves seasonal tasting menus and is placed in the top ten eating establishments in South Africa. It also boasts one of the best wine cellars…
In today’s post, I’m sharing a few ideas of what to wear and will definitely get you noticed at any party. I always plan to get things done well ahead of time but unfortunately, it just doesn’t happen. During this festive season, I’m fortunate in the sense of not having to entertain and be totally stressed out – which most of us…
Animal-rights activists are partly responsible for many people turning away from wearing real fur. Because of public awareness campaigners, more people are hesitant to wear real fur either, because of ethical reasons (killing animals for their fur) or fear of being called out. Some designers ( Vivienne Westwood, Armani, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger) renounced using real fur in their collections…
Sorry I haven’t posted in a while. I thought my blog needed a small makeover. You know what it’s like…we all change! It took a bit longer than expected as I’m not really tech-savvy but finally managed to sort it out. I would appreciate some input, so let me know in the comment space below what you think. It’s that…
Don’t we just love cosy chunky knits during the autumn and winter season! Well, we are in luck – as this year there are lots of beautiful jumpers to choose from whatever your preference or budget. This chunky knit jumper is from Lorena Antoniazzi. It is so soft and comfy against the skin and gives a lot of warmth, so I don’t need…
Wearing the right type of bra is the foundation to achieve that perfect streamlined look. Buy the right size bra and don’t squeeze into a smaller cup size which only causes over-spill. We don’t want that! If you don’t know your correct size, then it’s time to get measured.
