Grunge: Camouflage and Leather

I have always been obsessed with leather but this season, toughness takes a whole new face.The military look is a big trend this season and combined with leather, this makes a perfect mix of style and ease! To pull of the look, keep it minimal and let the camo be the main focus of your look. The key is to accessorize and make the look your own by adding a personal touch, whatever that may be. Here is how I would wear it:

What I'm wearing

All Black Everythang. That NineZero Swagger.

On this day I woke up feeling quite glum and fittingly decided to wear all black. And also because I'm a proud 90's kid, I wanted to pay homage to this era and it's distinctive style.

Here comes the queen... Rih!

Hello blogosphere people :)

MY FIRST POST, WOW. So after having signed for blogger back in 2011, I finally decided that I would stop putting it off and actually start using it.(In my defense, I do think a year and a half was more than enough time to come up with the courage to use this space). I guess I needed time to grow out of my introverted little box and find my own voice and what better way to start than to create a post about my all time favourite star/obsession Rihanna. Just that name sparks off a whole range of images and ideas hopefully all centered around her ever-rising star and staying power. To put it blankly, she's a rock star and needs no introduction, with successful world tours, Grammys and 7 albums(her latest one being Unapologetic) under her belt at the age of 24, it's safe to say that Robyn Rihanna Fenty is the oh so cool queen of pop. I recently bought the May issue of Elle magazine South Africa which features a high fashion yet quirky spread of her and let's us in on what she's really about. The photo spread features her in clothing by Tom Ford, Louis Vuitton and Prada and the photographs were take by Mariano Vivanco- nothing but the best for the queen, right?This woman is undeniably beautiful and one can't help but marvel at her success, style and charm and how she still manages to stay close to her fans. I cannot wait for her Diamonds World Tour concert in October, seems the title of this post is quite fitting seeing that it will Rihanna's first touring visit to South Africa. Rihanna Navy Get Ready :)
 Here are some of my favourite pictures from the Elle spread . Enjoy.
