The autumn chill is upon us here in Jozi, and I for one am excited about welcoming the cold. I know, come July, I’ll be begging for summer, but right now, I’m romanticising about gloomy days, snuggle under a blanket with that cozy feeling.

I finally found a pair of beautiful leopard print espadrilles, so I guess you could say I’m over the moon! Best part, they were on sale (whoop whoop) and are totally comfortable, cute and exactly what I’ve been looking for!

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 on top! It will defs become my bush adventure staple from now on! I wore it on almost every game drive and it kept me cool, protected from the sun and thanks to the little drawstring I didn’t lose it. And the colour… perfecto! Look at that frrrrriiiinge! Obsessed! We had such a blast! This was part of our group racing to catch the lioness before she moved away on our last game drive evening. We were incredibly blessed to have seen it all… We spotted the entire big five entourage… Lions, Leopard, Buffalo, Elephant and Rhino, as well as a whole lot more. I wasn’t too fond…

I’m so excited for the Wild Africa Cream launch party happening in Jozi this week. And, if you entered my giveaway, today I’ll announce who will be joining me with their BFF for an evening of Elegance Untamed! Read to the end of this post to see if it’s you! This week I wanted to play around with something different. I wanted to show you how to incorporate a touch of leopard into a chic evening look, by giving your hair a bit of a wild edge… Since I really suck at doing my own hair, I had the help of my talented hairdresser, Louise from Eclat Creatif (she’s amazing) whip up this edgy, boho braided creation with a touch of leopard print. We used my ClipinHair Extensions (read my review here) to add more fullness to my braid. Isn’t it beautiful?! I finished my look off with a simple LBD and my new Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses. They are so cute! They have an almost leopard print effect to them and inside, they have flash of fun with red and white polka dots. For my makeup, I used these beautiful goodies from Inglot. On my eyes, I used this palette that was specially created for Wild…

I’m really into my full midi skirt these days, so when I was planning my first Elegance Untamed outfit post for Wild Africa Cream, I knew I wanted to start with this piece! Elegance Untamed is all about empowering your style and unleashing your inner wild child, but in a tasteful and classy way. Like adding a pop of leopard print to an all black outfit to break it up and a little. Although my outfit is all black, I wanted to keep my shoes neutral, since a nude shoe always looks better and I love how my Loubies compliment the colouring of the leopard print scarf. I also can’t believe that I’m actually wearing a crop top! That’s a skirt I thought I’d never wear and a top I thought I never wear! As much as I love this whole look, I must be honest, I never saw myself in it! So I definitely feel as though I’ve untamed my look and empowered myself to be more girly and glam. Outfit details: Crop top and Full Midi Skirt Forever New Earrings, Bag, Bracelet and Scarf – Accessorize Heels – Christian Louboutin

You know when you find THAT pair of perfect jeans and you just want to live in them every day? Well, I found them! I can’t get enough of these blue ripped, Thunderstruck jeans from GAP. Although I really don’t like straight leg jeans (I’m more of a skinny or boot leg kinda gal), this pair of Real Straight jeans ticks all the boxes for me. Beautiful colour, distressed look, great fit and even though the leg is straight, I can cuff them and still get a peek of the gorgeous inseam. For me, this look is almost “boyfriend”, but a little less bulky. I love boyfriend jeans, but they often look a bit sloppy on my short frame. Take a look at how I styled these jeans, with a little bit of leopard, gold accessories and fudge shoes with cute, gold ankle straps… Jeans: GAP 1969 Thunderstruck Real Straight Jeans, Leopard Belt – GAP, Sheer Leopard Top (and Oldie from YDE), Fudge flats – Vince Camuto (Available at Edgars), Bracelet – Accessorize, Bag – Kipling.
