Power to the People

Now picture a comeback from Dynasty Days....Yes Power Shoulders are Back......
I do belive this is for the truly fashion religious girls who can't wait to sink their teeth in a bite of newness....
But there is something alluring about the power shoulder....It could be the sense of strongness combined with the sexy and edgy take control look.....
I was wearing the power shoulder shirt and a firend laughed and asked me if I was ready to take flight...lol...But my fiance doesn't even bat an eyelid when I put the shirt on..

The power shoulder slims down your waistline and broadens the shoulder line.....If you already have broad shoulders...Steer clear...
Now if you're scared of skinnies then you might have a problem here....it usually works with a slim leg but, I wore it with a skinny kick flare and I loved it...It was so chic..
Now stors have been testing shoulder detail for a while but, it does seem to have taken flight....

I think that it is a difficult sale but, I think it's new and so not "poptart SA"...
A number of different items will come through...Tops with shoulder pads, shoulder trim detail like studs, chains,etc, In jkts with futuristic shoulder details, in fabrics like denim,pleather,etc....

Now I say pucker up and Power to the People....
Im out!

Biker Babe

Now if you never read magazines it's way easy to miss a trend but, if your nose is in one then You can't miss Winter's Biker Chic trend...

Amber- Jade my 7year old niece called me up one night to look in a magazine and try to get her a jkt. Now I was shocked and I must admit that myself, her Mom and My Mom had now offically created a monster.....But, what came as more of a suprise is that she said the denim jkt was like a biker style and I couldn't believe that she came up with that by herself!

As leather and pleather make it into your winter wardrobe there is a strong focus and direction into Biker inspired items. Like I said before Grey is the biggest thing and of course blk BUT, the more feminine execution will be in NUDE, the hottest colour to make its way through the colour wheel....

Here we go with my memories but, Knight rider /The HOF comes to mind when I talk about leather....But lets all face it we still have a thing for the knight rider and the car.....Yeah u do!!!!

Bonus, even thought the hottest boot is the OTK boot (over the knee)....Biker boots makes it entrance.....They r Flat....Bonus for people like me who love flats but still wana be on trend.....

It will almost always be worn with jeans, (hopefully skinnies as my poll indicates none of you r scared of skinnies). This is where torn black jeans come into play.

I think the items in this theme will be very hard for some as it can too bold....BUT I LOVE IT!!!!

And I embrace the sexy side in me.....

Ok Biker Bithches..Go out and Mount your bikes...

See you on the Road...

True to my Word....Heres Zoe Saldana in purple ruffle dress at the oscars on Monday evening......

Purple Passion Potion

Purple Passion Potion,

I've always loved purple, I always remembered purple as being a very gothically inspired colour. Especially in my teenage years when we used to hang out and listen to Kurt Cobain, Foo Fighters and Smashing pumpkins...lol....

I remembered this Long purple maxi I used to wear.....and if I think back now it was ghastly....It fitted like a sack and it was not something that other girls would wear ( I got that alot though)...

Never the less purple has certainly made a comeback and what a sexy and feminine comeback!

The colour purple has now done well for a couple of season's in Occasion wear so naturally that's where it would be. But, purple has now become the accent colour to brighten up those winter days too....It goes very well with Grey and Black which is what we will see coming through for Winter now.

It will always come through commonly in tops and dresses but, it could be nice to own a statement piece like a jacket or a pair of leggings....

As South African I think it's been proven over and over " We Smaak Colour with a Passion"!!!!

See pics attached...

Another tip is also to keep as eye out for cosmetics and perfumes....They are always ahead to predict the next hot colours. ( Check out Bvlgari and DKNY)...they had purple since end last year)

Mwah.....

Racey Lace

La..La..Lace,

Wow lace has always remind me of controversial icons like Marilyn Monroe .....who always seemed very breathless and almost always ready to get nude....????

Since then times have changed but, lace still seems to make some kind of come back.

It almost always seems to how a smart feel when you are wearing it and kind of gives you the sex appeal every women wants.....

This time around we finding lace coming through in so many ways like lace leggings in an array of colours (which is more casual in a key colour like grey), in items such as lace jackets, shorts, tops with lace backs, lace cut-outs, lace dresses with contrast lining colour ( sometimes a colour that will be trending for that season such as nude, purple or pink)....

There will be many accessories that also come through in lace...

Now nobody is saying go Lady Gaga with Lace......Hell NO!!!! The Lady must be lead by a bodyguard as she can't even see through her lace mask....lol....Be subtle and remind yourself what the end use of the outfit is....

Example if you going for a more casual feel team it up with a grungy denim jean, skirt or jkt Ala Kate Moss more edgy style...

If its more for work then dress smarter with blk skinnies and simple accessories.....Never , never underestimate the accessories that compliment your outfit...pearls is usually a clear winner here...Like Jacky O....

It also pairs well with a Milky Cream colour but since lace is now coming through in nudes and greys.......... black, milk and grey make an awesome trio....

Now make way for those Lacey Winter Days.....

Peace Out...
