Rihanna go Glamour

"Our" fashion Idol Rihanna does it again. This time she covers the Glamour magazine November issue. She talkes about everything from her friends, being misunderstood, her reality show and her dont-give-a-dime- attitude which we love. We love the curly hair.

 

She back

Rihanna is coming to South Africa on the 13th of October (next week). I am beyond excited so I had to buy myself a Rihanna branded tank top to wear.

You know girls do eat right?

Spotted with DJ Sbu

It's spring I know but I am in love with black this season. I can wear it all day and night long even to bed.

#Vogue #TheSeptemberIssue #2013 #JenniferLawrence

We all have a thing for our "girl next door" Jennifer Lawrence. The Hunger Games star looked rather elegent and mature in her Vogue September cover. Besides the fact that  pictures were taken by the great Mario Testino, Jennifer is a star to be reckoned with.

The Oversized Sweater

This look was inspired by the girls from Made in Chelsea. I love that reality show because of the way the  young ladies execute clothes and how they make an odd sweater a stylish item to have. UK for me has the best fashion and style sense.  Anything goes in the UK and that allows people to wear what they want but still look stylish

ELLE SA Editor's Breakfast

The amazing ELLE SA Editor, Jackie Burger

Selfie and Jackie

When I received my invite to attend the ELLE SA Editors breakfast in Hyde Park, I was beyond thrilled. It came in time when I needed to just leave my office and find new stimulus outside. Southern Sun Hyde Park Hotel hosted us on the 16^th of August.

My first impression when I walked in at the hotel (I was a little bit late) was, “wow pretty women all over.”  I grabbed a sit and I was sited opposite Poppy Evans who is the Fashion Editor at ELLE. I am a huge fan of Poppy. I love the way she execute fashion in the magazine and I also appreciate her eye for fashion. She told us that she has been with ELLE for seven years now. That’s a long time and her way of writing and conveying fashion in words shows that she has been around for quite some time now.

The great Jackie Burger, who I consider to be the Anna Wintour of South African fashion, was sited in a table next to mine. When she grabbed the mic to tell me to introduce myself to the ladies, I honestly didn’t know where to start because part of me wanted to scream “I am a huge fan of you” but then again we don’t do that. We try not to be too astounded and contain ourselves.  

The breakfast went pretty well. We talked about anything that is everything, from SA Fashion to beauty to magazines. The ladies there were amazing. They were fun to be around and had warm hearts. I felt at home, with people who understood my love for fashion and beauty.  

Elizabeth Arden was part of the breakfast and of course we received goodie bags worth R1000 and had time to consult with Elizabeth A consultants who scanned our faces. It’s amazing how we think everything is fine with our faces simply because we don’t have any breakouts. What I saw in that machine really scared me. From now on I will take using my night cream serious. No more “I am tired excuses.”

I had a one-on-one talk with Jackie where she gave advice about my possible future as a feature writer and it was amazing that she had the time and love to listen to me and be nice. She is such an amazing, graceful, stylish woman.
