CREATIVELY INSPIRED: HEELS

Image
Alice in Wonderland inspired these incredible looking heels, designed by Nicholas Kirkwood as part of a Alice In Wondreland Themed collection in 2010 which was a group effort of invited designers, to showcase their talents. Inspiration really was key here, and the 'bug' really did bite him here. Quirky characters would definately go for this one and yes i'm talking about wearing it to an event. As for me.... themed photo shoots and the stage and maybe a costuming party, yes, yes, YES!!! ;-) [Image: styledotcom]

AFRICAN FASHION: JEWELLERY

Image
African fashion is rich in colour and creativity, your typical statement piece that add the 'wow' to the 'factor' ;-).Its no secret by now that I am crazy about statement pieces, and if i can add these beautiful South African inspired jewellery to my jewellery box I would be a very happy girl.Surely its something for this summer season, but do remember statement pieces should stand out so don't wear them with competitive clothes eg. Collages, multi- coloured Happy shopping :-) [Image: _]

FASHION MIS-LED: "When the right dress is worn with the wrong bra" and VICE-VERSA

The sight of a bra sticking out at the back of a halter-neck and strapless dress or top, is not only distracting, but its very much UNACCEPTABLE, those clothes are designed that way for reason. A good friend of mine brought this to light and i have seen ENOUGH of it. The number of women and young ladies engaging in this "trend", what ever it is, is growing and i am sick to my stomach of a beautiful garment being destroyed by an UNDER GARMENT all because the wearer has been mis-informed that it is ok. ITS NOT OKAY, it is a big NO NO!!! Ladies please, KNOW THIS, nomatter how lovely and beautiful your apparel is, at the end of the day our conversation will not be based on, how amazing you looked it will sound more like; "the dress was nice but that BRA! if only she had done something about the bra she WAS going to look stunning". Don't be astonished when the compliments don't come as you had hoped, our eyes where glued on the bra not the dress...
