SAG Awards 2012 - Hair Trend

Braids and Plaits

..............................

seem to be quite popular at this years SAG awards.
Never mind the amazing dresses, what caught me was this
little lovely girly hair trend that was seen on a few of the famous faces...

To best create this vintage look, try not wash your hair for
a day or two if you can stretch it that far, as then your plaits will be
less "frizzy" and will hold nicely in place! Also,
if you're feeling like royalty like the ladies below, twist it around
your head to create a crown-like effect... there really is a million
different things you can do with your hair and plaits providing,
of course, that you have the length to do it!

But if not, fear not, there are plenty of shops that 
sell hair pieces that can give you the same look :)

Gorgeous!

Wildfox Couture - White label Spring

Pony Tale

......................................................................
Is Wildfox's new introduction to Spring 2012.

This concept-label is chock full of everything
sexy, cutting edge, sassy and fun.
I always keep a keen eye on this lable...
there's ALWAYS something interesting and daring 
going on

This collection has lots of dream-like natural colours,
with the odd Peach, Black and Gold popping up, as well
as lots of Sheers, Loose Knits and Lace...

Attention is paid to techniques such as shredding,
and by the looks of things the fabrics that have been 
used all add to that authentic and quality-filled feel this
brand is known for...

You can check our their website here 
and some of my favs from their new Pony Tale collection below!

Enjoy!

Jean Paul's Loving Amy Winehouse

Jean Paul Gaultier:
Spring/Summer 2012

Yesterday afternoon Jean Paul gave a beautiful, loving
tribute to our late and dear friend Amy Winehouse in his
Spring/Summer 2012 haute couture show.

The looks held names such as:
Brit Award
Victoria's Secret In My Bag
and
Love is a Loosing Game 




The models were adorned with Amy's signature 
Bee Hive Do, in a beautiful array of colours, 
as well as her thick flicked-up
eyeliner and highest of high heels.

And obviously the garments all held Jean Paul's
eccentric Frenchman aesthetic and detailing... mixed with Amy's iconic
Rockabilly Camden-minx vibe...

The clothing is stunning, as always,
and I think the mix of these two really made for an amazingly
original and exciting show!!

If you love Amy, and couture... this would have been
your show! I'd LOVE to know what Amy is thinking about this right now...
:D

Check out the pics below and enjoy ;)

My Bloody (Gorgeous) Valentine

Valentines Day...

... includes lots of red hearts, candy, chocolate (body paint), romantic dinners,
somewhat tacky cards, love letters and if you're the type of person
who hates seeing those lovey dovey always-kissing-in-public type couples, 
be warned because they will
be everywhere!!!

But alas, we love this little holiday, and why?
Because it's the perfect excuse to buy yourself the most gorgeously
outrageous or sexily cute lingerie. Whether it's for yourself, or more
for your partner to enjoy, every female loves
spoiling herself, or loves being spoilt, with sexy lacey lingerie!!!
But what to buy? For me, there are two major undie-wearing 
bra loving type girls... So which ever one you lean more towards, 
look below for the perfect
sexy set just for you...

All lingerie below can be found at none other than Agentprovocateur.com

enjoy!!

Road Trip to Langebaan

Out on The Road...

...with the wind in your face, the sun on your arm as you
let it fall out the car window... One of the best things
about living in South Africa, especially in the Western Cape, is the
natural beauty of our land. The best thing to do in summer
has to be a little road trip! This time my cousin, Chloe, and I went to Langebaan
to visit her dad, and took a drive through the nature reserve on the Sunday.
The weather was perfect and so was our mix tape :p
...........

...........

On our way home we stopped by a string of little shops
in the town. Chloe took me to this amazing little shop which housed
the most intricate, detailed and beautiful things...

From rustic old frames, to beautiful vintage teacups and jars, 
really anything you could think of this place had! My hands
were itching to buy everything in the place... it's not often
you come across a shop with such original, one-of-a-kind ornaments
and house decor... I had to post a few pics to show
the magical-ness of this shop!

Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2012 Collection

Magical Paris

First and foremost, it has to be said: This is THE most magical
fantastical collection ever! 
Bringing together the innocence of "Virgin Suicides"
and stolen memories of a lost childhood, every girl is going to
relate to, and want a piece of this french tart!

.........................................



So, let's talk the most beautiful stage show ever made:
Imagine being at this show, I would have to be tied down so as not to
jump on stage and be part of the party myself! A breath-taking pure white 
carousel sits perched as if on a cloud at the top of the runway...



The style of this collection is a perfect mix of crisp pastels as well as
beautiful doll-like details including lots of lace and
seemingly "over-sized" anglaise peter-pan collars and skirt edges,
with bits of silver detail and glittery bits bringing out the fairy-tale like aesthetic 
to this Paris-in-the-Spring romantic tale.







Just LOVING this Candy Shop - Paris POP shoot.....
Absolutely gorg!

A truly successful collection
