The weather in Cape Town has been confusing lately, one day its 28'C and the next its storming. Due to this crazy weather I've managed to get the flu twice in one month...like seriously.

On a different note today I am going to be sharing a few outfit pictures from a couple of weeks ago. we were blessed with a beautiful sunny day for my nephews birthday party- which was an outside affair, you would never have said it was storming just the day before. While going through all the photos from that day I found that I didn't manage to get a picture for my entire outfit, however I still wanted to share it with you guys. Hope you enjoy!

Ripped Jeans & Cashmere | OOTD

Ripped jeans & cashmere

16.05.17

Hey guys its me, I'm back with a new look. I cut my hair, as you can see lol. I have been wanting to cut my hair this short for the longest time now,I finally decided to do it, and I absolutely love it! 

I have totally been living in these jeans lately. They are super old and began to tear at the knees so I decided to DIY it up! And ever since, I have been wearing them literally every other day. For today's simple #OOTD I kept the entire outfit comfortable yet trendy. I styled my light grey cashmere top with a pair ripped denim jeans - which I DIY'ed myself. For shoes I went for an easy comfortable option with a pair of black old skool Vans and as always I opted for my everyday jewelry to tie the whole look together. 

The Look-

Have an amazing blessed week further, Until next time God bless!

Personal Style & Favorite Fashion Bloggers

Personal Style & My fav Bloggers

18.04.17

Today I want to talk about personal style. I wouldn't say I have a specific style, as I tend to gravitate to whichever 'style' I feel like wearing that particular day. Today I'll be dressed like a plain-Jane and tomorrow 90's chic, the next day edgy or street style, some days girly and others sporty.

For many finding 'your' personal style is not easy; as we tend to follow current trends and they may not work for everyone, but in saying so the best way to determine your style is by trying out different cuts, shades and 'styles' to see which suits you best and makes you feel good. Check social media to gain inspiration from, like Pinterest and Instagram. Go through your closet for similar pieces and work with what you have and create your personal style from there without totally copying someone else's outfit but taking inspiration from it and making it your own. 

Five tips to finding your personal style:

1.Style icons who's fashion inspires you- Follow their blogs and social media's to see their different outfits and how they style different pieces and take inspiration from it.
2.Beauty and hair are important- Personal style is not just about the clothing but the hair and beauty as well, as they are factors which contribute to your style as a whole and polishes the entire look. 
3.'Repeat' pieces- Take note of pieces you tend to grab often. These are items you can work around  and incorporate into your new fashion icon inspired style. These are items you love and feel comfortable in.
4.Signature- Find your signature piece like a biker jacket, red lipstick, wavy hair etc. Then making sure it is well incorporated into your look to complete you personal style.
5.Instinct- And finally trust your instinct and wear what you feel works and makes you feel great! 



Here are a few influencers that I follow (both local and international) and take style inspiration from adding to my personal 'style'

Sheryl Luke (Walkinwonderland)

Julia Dang & Maya Nilsen (TheLineUp)

Jenn Im (clothesencounters)

Aisha Baker Parnell (Bakedonline.co.za)

The important thing to remember is Inner beauty, because without it; outer beauty is nothing, if we are 'ugly' on the inside. So always be you, there is only one you and you are the best you!

1 Peter 3:3-4
'Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.'

Have an amazing blessed week further!

Heidelberg

Hey guys!

For those of you who didnt know, im currently in Europe and I recently visited my brother -who lives in Germany. We decided to go on a lil adventure to the city of Heidelberg. It was so beautiful there. We did some touristy things like taking pictures of the old architecture as well as walked up the to the castle- which is a ruin and a landmark of Heidelberg. And not to mention the amazing view of the city from up there!

Did I mention the BEST ice cream EVER can also be found in Heidelberg! At Schmelzpunkt Pure deliciousness - My favorite flavors were Macadamia Caramel, Brownie Heidelberg Fudge & Mango! Id highly recommend.

Despite the weather, Heidelberg was a wonderful experience. It was absolutely beautiful and I would definitely recommend visiting when in Germany. 

Thank you all so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed today's blog post! I wish you a blessed weekend further until next time. 

'The Lord is near to all who call on Him, To all who call on Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of those who fear and worship Him [with awe-inspired reverence and obedience]; He also will hear their cry and will save them.'
