Shop of the Week; Mr Price Mint Jeans

Beat the midweek blues with our awesome new weekly Wednesday feature… Shop of the Week! These gorgeous mint, pigment wash hipster jeans from RT at Mr Price are so on trend right now and what we love most about them is the price! R129.99 Young, hip and on-trend they feature 5-pockets and a skinny fit. They are the perfect addition to your summer wardrobe. How to wear mint jeans We love mint jeans especially when paired with sheer white button up blouses and cute cream tops. They also look amazing with tangerine and watermelon tops, fitted white blazers (ala Kim Kardashian), cute black tees and nude biker-style jackets. How would you style these mint jeans?

TREND REPORT: Riding Style

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”…

Woolies Scoop

Well winter may be upon us, but the one great thing we can look forward to is all the fab fashion heading our way! I was at Woolies the other day scouting for ideas for my Woolies Scoop, and got completely overwhelmed by the gorgeous selection of clothing for winter, specifically their pants and maxi skirts! After spending months in dresses and shorts I wasn’t looking forward to going back to boring old pants, but as you’ll see in this post, the selection of trendy and affordable bottoms at Woolworths this season are anything but boring! Printed Leggings Printed leggings are a huge trend and offer a great alternative to plain black leggings! Pair them with brights and you’ve really got a stand out outfit that makes a style statement! Get it: These grey houndstooth printed leggings (R225) are great for winter and offer an alternative way to wear classic houndstooth, especially if the black and white graphic print of traditional houndstooth is too much for you. These have a supportive waistband and offer enough stretch to give your legs a streamlined look. Wear it: I love how blogger Ewelyn from modishyou.blogspot.com has paired her stylish printed leggings with a bright red blazer, silky purple top and ankle…

Trend Report: Turning Scarves into Cute Summer Tops

In case you missed last weeks’ awesome Trend Report, here’s how you can turn your scarves into cute summer tops and expand your wardrobe for less! I don’t know about you, but I love scarves and belts! I find that they really help to inject a unique style into your outfit, setting it apart from how everyone else might be wearing it. Plus, they are generally inexpensive which means you can always be on trend. Scarves and belts have many uses. One of the ways I’ve been wearing them lately is by turning them into unique, flowy tops – perfect for summer! It’s so simple, you will be amazed at the amount of looks you can create with a cute scarf and a skinny belt. To show you how simple and easy this look is to pull off, I popped into Woolies last week where I found the cutest scarves. They always have a beautiful selection of trendy scarves and with prices so low; you can afford to be trendy! Although Woolies had a whole selection of belts and tanks to choose from, I absolutely loved this pink leather belt from Suga Suga (R120). This belt is ideal for creating…

Wear the Trends Six Ways with Fashion Blogger Sydne Summer

A few days ago, fashion blogger @sydnesummer tweeted “How I celebrated the last day of summer“. In South Africa, we’re heading into the glorious season of sun and sand, and so I was immediately intrigued by the title. I clicked only to find myself hooked on her website, ThinkThruFashion.com and her super cool ttF Fashion Staples Series for hours. Sydne blogs every day, showcasing stylish ways to wear six key items she picks out every month. Last month her focus was on an August Safari. Her six key items included a tribal necklace, a military jacket, a canvas belt, an olive dress, a taupe bag and gorgeous snakeskin wedges. The aim of her ttF Fashion Staples Series is to show you how to make the most of what you’ve got in your wardrobe. Every day Sydne wears one of her monthly staples and blogs her outfit. At the end of the month, she posts a recap and shows you how to wear each of the six items at least six different ways. This is a great way to get inspired with different ways to wear your outfits and the six items staple is the perfect blueprint to make sure you wear the seasons key trends. Think…
