Work ensemble

Hey hey,

One of the highlights of the week for me is deciding what I'll be wearing to work. I do that in advanve as I do not want to spend too much time deciding what to wear in the morning. I don't have any set rules for what I wear to work, but whatever I wear has to be fun and lift up my mood...if it needs any lifting that day. So my cue is to always wear something playful, with a hint of colour (especially for the happy summer season) and I always accessorise...albeit minimally...as I still have to look presentable and profession for client impressions. Here's today's ensemble







Dress: MANGO
Belt: Vertigo
Shoes: Edgars

Sawubona,

I did not forget about you...I went on a trip to The City of Gold last week Thursday. That is why I did not do a DAY NIGHT feature on Friday. But I have equally exiting stuff to share with you about my trip. Of course ample amounts of shopping was done so you will be graced with all that too in the near future. But for now here are a few of the moments in Jhb...





My first ride on the Gautrain

A lil eatery in Rosebank...their eggs Benedict was great



I have been looking forward to going to this for a while...finally did on Saturday...


Joburg's Saturday market in Braamfontein







A market ain't a market without great filter coffee

Yumminess





Paella

Port wine...of course I had some









I love how the Joburgers have such distinct style

DAY NIGHT: TASHNICA O

Mwa lala po, Goeie more, Guten Morgen, Good moro,

After another heavily busy day yesterday, I thought I'd never want to see another day again. Then I wake up to beautiful sunrise....as if all the burdens from yesterday are no more and you have a new skin...well a new outfit anyhow.

On that note, our feature girl today is someone who always reminds me to look forward to a fresh start and to focus on oneself first before anything and anyone else. Effortlessly elegant in all she does...here's a glimpse of her aura:
 
 
DAY WEAR
Top: Just Cruzin'
Belt: Truworths
Bag: Thailand
Stunners: Carolina Herrera


DAY WEAR
Top: Sissy Boy
Leggings & Sandals: Edgars


EVENING WEAR
Dress: Monsoon

Earrings: Mom's jewellery box

Remember to give yourself a break and focus on the positive...

AK.

...tell me the truth boy am I losing you for good...


Elo you...

I'm listening to Solange's 'Losing You'. Its her new jaym shot in Khayelitsha and Langa in Kapa.
Looooving the bright colours and fashion and how she merged into the township vibe instead of trying to "Americanise" it.

I dunno if it sounds as good without the video though...I think the video make the song. Take a look...




Toodles. xo
