{OOTN} Last Summer Days

Hi Fashionistas,

Hope you've had a fantastic week?

In my books sometimes a simple outfit is chic, and I adore the cream and black with gold detailing:



Wet-Look Leggings:  Cotton On

Cream High-Low Shirt:  Jay-Jays

Black Patent Pumps:  Rage

Gold Earrings:  Mr Price

Handbag:  Foschini

 

It's not often that I wear my hair up, well I do, mostly at home and sometimes for work, so my hubby said with great delight that he loves my hair like this {bless him}, we went out to dinner with family for birthday celebrations, and I adored this outfit, which is also perfect for when it gets colder because I could simply add a scarf with either a blazer/biker jacket or a lovely knitted jumper.  These shirts should be a staple in your closet anyway if you're like me and pear-shaped so slightly curvy over the bum/hip area.

 

So if you're looking for pieces to invest in for winter, I do suggest leggings and shirts like these, which will give you a few awesome pieces to work with in fall/winter.

 

Hope you like my outfit as much as I do, and let me know your thoughts about my hair being up like this?

Lady Gaga South-Africa: OOTN

Hi Lovelies,

A few months ago a certain mega pop-star announced that she is coming to South-Africa as part of her Born This Way Ball worldwide tour, and to say that caused a bit of excitement amongst us little monsters is the understatement of the year.

I still remember the day the tickets went live, my brothers girlfriend took the day off to buy us all tickets, from the time of opening everyone got bumped into a queue, people went a bit gaga-crazy on twitter and most of us struggled to get tickets.  Needless to say we got them in the end thanks to my wonderful mom who had to go into computicket to book our seats, and of course I then started planning what I was going to wear.  Now I know a lot of people like to imitate Lady Gaga and that's fine if it's your thing, but to me, her main message is celebrating who you are as an individual.  I love anything girly and sparkly, so I knew it was going to be bright with lots of bling and not forgetting my beloved smokey eye.

 

 

I was unsure if I wanted to wear flats and in the end I decided to go with these, and I was so glad I did, the parking was situated quite far from the stadium, and it's so massive inside that I ended up walking more than I expected, not to mention the little run when we heard the music playing and we still had 4 levels to go upwards.  Needless to say the run was all for nothing as we still ended up sitting for about 20 minutes before the show started (so my exercise has been done for the next month) hehe.

 

Plain White Vest Top:  Mr Price

Purple Skater Skirt:  Mr Price

Pointy Flats:  Cotton On

Hair Extensions:  Cliphair Ltd

The stage was so beautiful, it was a castle but looked different with every song due to clever lighting, and the band was stationed in different areas in the castle whom we got a peak of every now and again as the stage opened.  Lady Gaga made her grand entrance on a horse, the whole feel of the concert was definitely sci-fi alien(esque).  I didn't expect anything less from her.

 

As soon as she came on stage, you could feel her presence, she's a mega star for a reason, she filled the whole stadium and we were left in awe and wonder of her.

This was my favourite dress of the night, I would totally wear something like this, and she also wore this beautiful pink dress with an amazing hat, which unfortunately I didn't take a picture of.

The show was the most amazing concert I have seen, the choreography, lighting and set up was extroadinary, with loads of suprises, heart-felt moments and a few bits of shockers too, like her entrance made via a "lady bit" LoL. 

 

Regardless of your thoughts of her, what I saw was someone that truly cares and loves her fans, above all, she encourages us all to be proud of who we are, and not care what people think or say of us.  That is an inspiring message I hope we all will live by.

 

 

Love,

xoxo

Outfit of the Night: Dress from Topshop SA

Hi Pretties,

I made a trip to the launch of Topshop South-Africa last week Thursday, and found such a gorgeous birthday celebratory dress.  I will be posting about the other goodies I picked up and my view about the new Topshop very soon.

This dress reminded me of something Kim Kardashian would wear right?!  It is so pretty yet attention grabbing at the same time.  Very on-trend with mesh cut-out detailing in cream and black, with the girliest shimmery lace material ~ it is the dress that takes you from summer to winter and a definite investment.  It has slight padded shoulders, which perfectly balances out the flared skirt, as it was a bit chilly yesterday I wore tights and black patent leather pumps, and kept the colours black and cream which is very chic and classic, with a pop of colour through my faux-snake skin clutch bag.  It's so much fun dressing up for a night out on the town!

We went to Moyo Melrose Arch what an amazing restaurant, and later in the evening they came around to paint our faces, so much fun, here I'm with my mom and mom-in-law.

Dress:  Topshop in Sandton City R779.00

Hair:  Micro Ring Hair Extensions from ClipHair Ltd

And I wanted to give my brother the reward for the best Movember!  He is the best brother ever, well, he is my only one but still ;) he totally rocked it out!



I hope you enjoyed this post beauties.

Love,
xoxo
