Turning heads

I have mentioned before that I love headpieces, for me they can turn a really simple outfit into something that pops.They have made quite the comeback this yea taking on vivid colours and patterns and materials. For those of us brave enough to do experimenting:  The bigger the better! For the rest, smaller more understated versions work too. Spring has sprung and for me, this is the ideal time to start stocking up on them.



Solange does it again

As if one of my ultimate style icons(Solange) couldn't get any cooler, she went on and did just that. Her new video for Lovers In The Parking Lot from my favourite song off her EP "True" which was released late last year dropped recently. All I'm going to say is that I am blown away by her uniqueness and flare for creating beautiful things. From her clothes to her retro dance moves, the video is a breath of fresh air. Here are some snaps which can be found from her blog mydamnblog.com as well as the video itself. Enjoy :)

What I'm wearing

Polka dot lady
Hello :) So,  I didn't really get a chance to get good pictures of my whole attire. Only ones that came out great are the selfies, thanks to my mom's camera skills. Today was a day spent with my mother, ran a few errands including fabric shopping(I forgot to take my camera along-how average?) and popping into my favourite retail stores. I opted for a more sophisticated but still laid back look which is somewhat my little goodbye to winter weather. I'm wearing a 2 piece top and skirt suit from studio W at Woolworths and a wide brim hat from Cotton on. I changed my hair again, I have long havana twist braids which I'm hoping will last quite long considering how busy this term at varsity is going to be. This is somewhat of a vain post, excuse the selfies.
