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.

Two of The Greatest

Born Lucky by David Bailey

As if Cara Delevingne couldn't get any cooler, Vogue UK created a brilliant spread by pairing her with the oh so sauvé Pharrell Williams. I actually couldn't believe it when I heard about it and had to see these pictures for myself. The magazine features an article about the two modelling clothes of their own as well as from world famous fashion power houses such as Balenciaga and Louis Vuitton . Although the shoot is conceptually pretty simple, the pictures are beautiful and I love how they show off these artistic individuals' personalities. Here they are :)

Clothe Her

Had a photoshoot last week for "Clothe Her" By Charlie Rose. A second hand clothing endevor by a friend and university mate of mine Mathabo Tlali. I'm not going to say too much about it because I have done a post on her before but I will say that I really liked the clothes and the new vibe that was introduced by mixing vintage with streetwear. I also appreciate the fact that there is freedom when it comes to the styling and make up so all usb "models" did our own make up and styling using some pieces of our own. It was lots of fun and the pictures came out pretty good. Here are three singular shots of me. Check out the "Clothe Her" page on facebook!
