JUNGLE FEVER

there's been loads of animal print seen internationally and all over the mother city! i think its a super hot trend, it can however be over killed and over done! so just be careful of your choices when and if you decide to get something...the key to looking chic and different is to personalizing the trend to suit your own taste. you could wear it up to a formal or dress it funky for a fun event, either way you'll look great, but i suggest to buy less obvi and typical prints. good luck rocking this look ;) 

...CHECK OUT MY MOODBOARD FOR INSPIRATION...

the first look is very simple, funky and definitely fun; a total new take on leopard! the other is more sophisticated, opt for a python or any other snake print instead of the obvious. 

TAKE THE JUNGLE TO THE STREETS...

go aaaaal out by wearing bold pieces of every print!  everything about this looks intense...
OR

opt for something simple! keep the look polished  and  clean by paring a mini dress up with a pair of statement shoes :D

FUNKING UP THE JUNGLE...

this animal prints can be dressed a little formally, even for everyday- it just somehow works! and then also try a cute fun approach- pair it up with booby socks or knee highs and some cool classics pieces.

AWESOMELY FUNKY, but not overdone 

...MAKEUP...

keep makeup mysterious, focus on the eyes and  keep hair natural looking and not over over worked. loose waves are perfect or an untidy pinned up look. never gloss up lips, keep final look simple and tonal dont make lips too dark or bright.

GOOD LUCK FINDING YOUR LOOK TO ROCK!

Little bits & bobs of me...

So life's been really crazy latey...but in a good way! Even though i'm a little freaked you get that feeling when you soooo stressed out you go into chill mode! well i thought i'd update the blog now, taking you back to second year once again! 2nd year 'TRINNY AND SUSANNAH' fashion show (Granger Bay V&A) I had a brief to design a leisure wear look, my inspiration was 80s grunge as it was totally hott at the time! check out my moodboard and see if you catch my idea before the design! :) 

 ...THE MOODBOARD...

...THE RANGE BOARDS...

I was really inspired by the streets! i love how dark and edgy it all looks; the feel is super edgy yet is glamorous all at the same time. It was a trend that had EVERYTHING over sized, ill-fitted and definitely street chic

This looks is a little more polished, consists of a distressed denim cross-over hooded dress- tied closed with a piece of chain, the dress has huge pockets as well, a sequined long length vest, purple faded denim skinny's and stirrup legwarmers

 This look consists of a large sequined hooded jacket, printed vest, denim waist coat and super low slung distressed jeans tucked into woolen legwarmers

 this hooded denim dress has more paneling detail and lots of top-stitching! i love the idea of the double skinny studded belts. The look has a knitted short sleeve longer length tee under a sequinned waistcoat with denim jeggings and legwarmers. 

...THE PRODUCT...

this is the look i made...

I made the beanie from a woolen knit and made the chain from glass beads and silver chain!  Fabrications are as follow-
vest: silver and black sequinned mesh
over sized shirt: poly cotton
Boyfriend jeans distressed denim: bleached, sand papered, grated!
