SOCKS WITH HEELS

Ok so its a universal fact that wearing socks with sandles is (or should i say was) THE fashion faux pas of the century, but this is fastly changing! High heels worn with short or knee length socks have been spotted all around town, and it comes as a great shock to me that they are looking ever so chic!! . Vogue has been doing it for a while, SPJ sported them in the 'Sex and the City' movie, and Alexander Mc Queen has even gone to the extreme of using the trend in mens wear ( this I still cant get my mind around). If i hadn't seen the proof of the pudding it would have taken me a long time to get my mind around the idea, but it just looks so great. Check out the pics i posted below and tell me what you think. I'm totally loving them paired with shorts and mini's and i hope you do to. So come on girls join the fashion revolution - and why not kill two birds with one stone -be comfortable and do it in style!

MAD ABOUT MAPUTO CLUB STYLE

A tropical mecca, it's like stepping into Disney world but with booze! Maputo's club 'Coconuts' is reminisant of any Hollywood movie that involves a plane crash and a desserted island. It's the place to be on a friday night and is filled wall to wall with breathtakingly beautiful and totally styling girls. Im embarrased to admit that i really didn't expect Maputo to be home to so many fashionista's but what a fantastic suprise! The most popular style item in Maputo was hands down the high-waisted jean, handfuls of girls rocked the style in different ways! There were onzies and jumpsuits, waistcoats and wedges, skinny's and rah-rah skirts, to name a few - all put together in divine dedication to fashion. Watch out world, Maputo's fashionista's are taking over!!! See the photo's below!

Hi my fellow fashionista's

GLOBETREKKING IN ROMANIA

The Globetrekker is the new nomad in Europe and that's great news for us ROMAINING here in Africa, because the African prints that are looking so exotic and so in are not only easy to find but also allow us Africans to express our culture through our clothes.
Like i mentioned in other posts, bold prints are in and they fit ever so snuggly in to the latest trends ie. safari and boho.

There was a great focus on Afri-chic at this years fashion week, with designers embracing our culture and identity as Africans through their collections. The attached picture was from a South African designer (unfortunately it didnt say who) at S.A fashion week and it just shows that South African designers are creating collections that match if not better high end international designers. Checkout http://www.mimimagazine.com/ and check out Kobus Dippenaar and Marriane Fassler they were my favourite Afro-chic designers this year. All of them gave European designers a run for their money in regards to using African prints in maxi dresses and bohemian styles. ANother really hot label is Lalesso who will be openeing Cape Town Fashion Week. They have a appeared in Cleo, Glamour, Cosmo and more and there African Khanga fabrics are becoming a bit all around.

Wear African prints in maxi dresses/onzies/mini's with woven belts, head bands, waistcoats and to get the boho glam look jewel the tops of them.

I HEART LIVING IN AFRICA esspecially when it makes being fashion forward so easy!!!
