Hello Spring

Hello guys,

Well it is officially Spring,the most beautiful season - with all the green trees, flowers blooming and warm sunny days.

what better way to celebrate this season than with pastel and floral prints or even both!

For today's look I went for something a bit more "girly" than usual, yet simple and stylish. 

Black is not associated with Spring but it always manages to worm its way into my outfits(It definitely matches with everything)

The Look:

For this look I paired a midi length, mesh pastel floral printed skirt with a basic pastel pink tank tee. A cover up for when it gets colder- I paired the outfit with a black button up cardigan.

For shoes and accessories I went for a pair of black wedge ankle boots, round sunnies, A silver charm bracelet and some rings. 

The Items:

Skirt / Mr P

Tank tee / H&M

Cardigan / unknown

Shoes / Mr P

Sunnies / Flea market

Accessories / Gifted

"Never stop smiling"  

Happy Spring! 

XOXO

DIY Choker

Hey 
Today's post is a bit different, as I decided to show your guys an easy way how to make your very own a choker.
This is one of my favorite neck pieces and the choker has became a jewelry trend again this year.

You'll need:A clasp,2 rings(1 small and 1 big) a pliers and some chain.

       

Firstly measure the part of your neck where you'd like the choker to fit,then cut the chain to the desired length.Once that is done use the pliers to open the link exactly in the middle of the chain and add the big ring. Now open a link on one end of the chain and add the smaller ring and on the other end add the clasp. 

AND YOUR DONE 

This is the end result

Optional:

I decided that I wanted to make another "choker" to pair with this one so here are the instructions.

You'll need:Some chain,2 small rings,clasp and lastly a pliers.

What you want to do is measure where on your neck you want the second chain to fit and then cut it to length. Now add one ring to each end of the chain and lastly attach the clasp and its done.

This is the end result.

I would love to see your recreations.

Gingham

HELLO!

Gingham is most definitely my favorite spring print this year,it has just the right amount of boldness to it. As you know I live in South Africa and spring has just began. What I love about spring is the fact that it is not too hot and everything looks pretty, but one thing is for sure nothing beats AUTUMN!

This print was seen at many fashion shows last year/this year in the 2014 spring collections of Oscar de la Renta, Derek Lam and Delpozo. 

For today's look I went for something more'put together'. 

I paired this two piece gingham print set (a pencil skirt and a half sleeve crop top). For shoes and accessories I kept it simple with a pair of patent leather booties and a pair of round frame sunnies.

 

Items:

Skirt: Mr Price

Crop top: Mr Price 

Shoes: Jet stores

Sunglasses: Flea Market

XOXO
