Live in linen
I live in linen and have such a love affair with this beautiful, natural fabric that I wanted to chat about what makes linen so special. We’ll talk about everything, including creases and care, why the price tag, and I’ll also share some of my favourite linen pieces to have and to own.

View PostOut in Africa! My “Safari Outfit” and our Adventure in the Bush
I’ve just returned from the most incredible bush adventure! Four days out in Africa, getting up close and personal with all her beautiful creatures, just roaming around a few inches from the protection of our Landrover. Before our trip, I popped into Old Khaki (of course) to pick out some bush-ready, summer-ready and style savvy pieces and I couldn’t resist this gorgeous fringed Cardi. Isn’t it just the cutest summer cover-up? It was perfect for our evening game drives! Since I had bush veld on the brain, by pure stroke of luck and perfect timing, I also found this floppy bush hat while I was there, which was just the cherry…

View PostForever New, Cote d’Azur Summer Collection
The Forever New Cote d’Azur collection launched in stores this week and let me tell you gals, it’s probably my favourite Forever New collection to date. It’s got all the elements of elegance, refined style and glamour without being overly racy or too seductive. Think Hollywood’s golden era, redefined in classic, modern day silhouettes with playful prints and very ladylike finishes. Midi skirts, lace, crop tops, soft fabrics and scallop details. The collection was inspired by the beautiful blue Azure waters that reflect the golden sunshine, so the prominent colours for this collection are buttercup yellow, porcelain white and Mediterranean…
View PostSkirts in Full Swing
I’m trying to step out of my style comfort zone. For a girl who wears jeans-jeans-and-more-jeans, it’s a hard thing to do. Trust me! Lately, full swing midi skirts have really caught my eye. They look so glam, effortless and stylish. So, when I spotted this beaut at Forever New, hesitant at first, I tried it on and fell in love with it! Everything about it is perfecto! The cut is very flattering on my frame. The high waist doesn’t make me look short and frumpy (which happens to me with midi skirts) and I love that it’s not solid black. The horizontal “burnout” stripes…
View PostThe “Wear With Anything” Little Denim Vest
So obsessed with denim shirts/ jackets, and as we head into summer, definitely loving my little denim vest or deinim gilet! I bought the most gorgeous little denim vest from Bershka while I was in Greece, and have been finding so many different ways to wear it. I tell you, it’s the ultimate closet must-have to snazzy up any outfit. I wore it non stop on holiday and it was great for a night out when I wanted to look “smarter” but not be too smart. I was after-all, on holiday! There are a ton of ways to wear it! My fave is to pair…
View PostThe Tribe Has Spoken! New IN, H&M Woven Skirt
For once in my life, I saw something worn by one of the blogs I follow, and could actually drive to H&M (coz you know, I was in Greece) and get it! I was so amped! Now all that’s left, is to lose the 3 (blooming, bladdy, friggin) kilos I gained eating Gyro’s in Greece and I then I can rock my new baby! My Inspiration
View PostClassic Style: Stripes {Shop the Look}
Happy 4th July to all my American readers! To fit in with today, I wanted to do a little post on stripes! Since stripes are one of those Classic Style items, it’s definitely worth it to invest in some stylish stripes that suit your individual style! I’ve always been afraid of stripes, but when you find “the right” stripe to suit you, you just can’t go wrong! Now I’m hooked! I think the key to wearing stripes is to make sure the top (and I’m sticking to tops as striped bottoms are a no-no unless you’re super skinny!) is to ensure that…
View PostSneak Peek at Edgars’ Winter Range – Coming Soon
A few weeks ago, I attended the launch of Edgars’ HAUTE Winter 2013 at Melrose Arch. The entire store had been pre-setup to give fashion editors a complete look at the winter range that will be on offer this year. Named, Fashion Avenue; it’s the place where high fashion resides, anything can happen and there is a surprise around every corner! I am really excited for winter, and while I’m a summer girl through and through, winter is really a fun season to play dressup! I was totally smitten with about 90% of the collection, which means you’re likely to…
View PostStretch Your Wardrobe! Get More Outfit Choices With The Essential Skater Skirt Trend
If you’re a child of the nineties, you probably remember baby-doll dresses, right?

Well the skater style skirt (and dress) is very similar, just an updated version. What we love most about this style is how perfect it is for summer, but because it’s so versatile, it can be dressed up for autumn, winter or spring. And you know what that means… investment, investment, investment! Best Part? You can style it up with items you’ve already got in your wardrobe! A…
