I’m still loving my floral bomber jacket, which I bought 2 years ago, and I’m glad to see that this trend is still going strong! So strong in fact, that according to Google’s Fashion Trend Report for 2016, in April, searches for bomber jackets were up by 297% YoY (year-after-year growth) in the UK and 612% YoY in the US. So, if you don’t already own a stylish bomber jacket, you better get cracking! Today, I’ve rounded up a few of my favourite options that you can find right now! My personal favourite bomber jacket style is one that is silky, giving it a feminine touch, but I do also love beautiful prints (especially florals) and unique embroidery designs.

Next month, my hometown of Durban plays host to The Vodacom Durban July; one of Durban’s and SA Fashion’s hottest events! With all the hype leading to raceday, combined with a new found love for my riding boots (which I finally found after years of searching), this month’s Trend Report is all about being a stylish Equestrian. Now, as much as I love this style of dressing, I wouldn’t recommend wearing a riding-style outfit to The July – even though it would make more sense to trot around the grass laden race track in comfy flats and a jacket, instead of your sheer, backless couture designer gown and sky high heels – in winter! As for any other day, I definitely think this look rocks, even if you have no actual connection on the Mink and Manure belt. Here’s how to wear the trend… Riding Style Boots A true riding-style outfit requires a pair of fabulous flat riding boots! Riding boots are an investment and will almost always look stylish and on-trend, so it’s worth it to spend a little extra for a great quality pair that will last you a lifetime! Daniella Michelle brown boots with buckle detail – R1599 from Zoom Footwear Leather “Shobola”…

There are people that love their jeans – sometimes a little too much if you ask me. You know who I’m talking about right? Those die-hard denim heads that wear their jeans to gym! I mean come on, jeans to exercise?

Every blogger needs an outfit post and a jumping photo… I hope you all had a fantastic holiday yesterday. I did a bit of work on my bloggy, but seeing as it was a holiday, I went for a laid-back casual outfit. Since I was feeling all relaxed and left my inbox unopened, I decided to take out my camera and do a li’l outfit post for ya, showing you my fab bubblegum pink Crocs! These lace-up canvas Crocs are beyond cool and comfy too! The colour, well, it’s amazing and kinda makes an otherwise boyish shoe look very girly! I love the rounded toe detail on the front – so retro!. These look so much more stylish than plain old sneakers, and the Croslite™ material midsole offers great lightweight cushioning for your feet – perfect for shopping! They are made of a lightweight, breathable canvas and also come in black, oyster, raspberry and navy. I’m usually a size 6/ US8/ EUR 39 and the six fits me perfectly. You can find these at Crocs authorized retailers, or buy them online via the Crocs SA website, www.mycrocs.co.za – they retail at R499.95 a pair! I’m wearing: White Top – Meltz, Boyfriend…

I am seriously friggin loving Diesel fragrances lately! They are so amazing, young and so totally unique in their own way! Two new fragrances from Diesel are now available; Diesel Fuel For Life Denim Femme 75ml (R799)  and Diesel Fuel For Life Denim Homme 75ml (R699). Both of these, one for her one for him, come in a gorgeous denim pocket pouch with stitching on the one side and a zip on the other side. They look almost identical, even in the box. The ladies one is finished in a slightly lighter denim with gold writing and the guys one is slightly darker denim with brown writing. Also, on the boxes, they are the same – accept the ladies one has gold embossing while the men’s one has brown. – Just so you can tell them apart. But, really I mean I could so wear the guy’s fragrance too – they are both yummy! They smell completely different; the guys one has a distinct woody scent mixed with citrus notes and the ladies one is woody with a hint of florals and amber. It’s not frou-frou kind of floral, it’s just right. This collection launches in February 2012 – just in…

New to the empire of Italian mega cool brand, DIESEL, comes a fragrance so irresistibly sexy, so seductive it will have you falling in love. Some call it Lovers Dose others Lovers Overdose, either way LOVERSDOSE is true to it’s name “a beautiful but deadly weapon of seduction”. With top notes of mandarin, heart notes of sambac jasmine and liquorice, and base notes of ambroxan, this scent is totally delicious! You know that fresh explosion of “yum” you get when you first chew on a fruity gum? Well it kinda reminds me of that. I just want to eat it off my wrist! The bottle, well, that’s another love story on its own! LOVERSDOSE is packaged in a beautiful purple heart shaped crystal that radiates light and fits perfectly into your hand. You can even tip it forward onto its side and it will adorn your dressing table or office desk beautifully! Apparently the fragrance contains “Molecule A” which is known to stimulate endless addiction to love. While I don’t know if that’s true, I am very much in love with this fragrance. The other factor could be that I literally want to eat it, which I guess could have the husband eating out the…
