Summer Lovin'

Ola Fashies aka Fashion Mommies! :-) I know it's been a while, but the inspiration for my next blog post finally hit! except for the wind, the Cape's been having some lovely warm days, so what more inspiration do we need other than the fact that SUMMER is finally here!!! Have you also been wandering around in stores looking for the perfect swim suit? So have I! for both Jada and me...she's even more excited than I am! And as usual I'm thinking COLOUR COLOUR COLOUR - Nautical, animal prints, stripes, neons, polka dots, tropical prints, tribal prints, Barbie (lol) and styles dating back to the 50's! The absolute best thing about this season's trends is that there are no rules. The more colourful and daring, the more trendier you are! The monokini (one piece) has especially captured my interest this season and like the trusted 'fashie' I am, I went and found us some amazing looks...

And for most of us who feel we might need to cover up a little...well you don't have to look like the odd one out when strolling on the beach. Do it in style like these beach babes...

Happy Tanning Everyone!

Fashion Shoot - Our Winter must-haves

What a bag load of fun it was planning this shoot! with the help from my model and fabulous mom, Olivia, and her keen eye for fashion along with Photofuzion Photographer Lesley for making it all come to life in all its fun, colorful, glamorous glory! The outcome is nothing less than AMAZING!!!

When I started this blog it had to scream FUN and dare readers to be FEARLESS when going through their wardrobe or rampaging the stores. So when we picked out these outfits, that’s exactly what we were going for. As Olivia and I started putting them together, there were SO many ideas going back and forth, that should we have used them all there would not be enough time and it would have been impossible to wrap up the shoot in the 4 hours we had in studio. So we did what most successful people do and kept it short and sweet? Heck no!! We kept it fun, daring and to the point! We hope these images inspire you as much as it did us. But first, proving beauty is best worn when accompanied by a good head on your shoulders, is fashionista, career woman and Songbird...

Born in a little town called Vredenburg off the West Coast of the Cape Peninsula South Africa; 28 year old Olivia Brooks, devout wife to Reginald and mom to Matthew 2 now resides in bustling Cape Town where she manages at a large international call Centre. Olivia Loves to Love, Network and keep up with the latest fashion trends and Besides her beauty and bubbly personality with its attractive ability, what most don't know is that she's also a local singing sensation and has wowed many at karaoke and similar competitions. If money were no object a Mansion at the beach; Walk in closet and a visit to Paris would be first on her list of Must-haves.
