WHO KNEW!!


The thing that thrills me the absolute most about fashion these days is that it’s just so much fun! Not to mention full of surprises, and I for one cannot seem to get enough of it :) It's a fashion mud pool out there and I'm here to get dirty!

Just when I thought beanies and socks were only meant for those super freezing days,when all I feel like doing is slouch around in tracks and trainers, BAM, they come walking down the runway and POOF! All of a sudden the trend is everywhere! I love that fashion has become more tolerant towards the guy and girl on the street and that no matter what you wear, as long as it’s with grace and confidence, you can pull it off quite comfortably.

Heck! Just because you’re wearing a beanie, doesn't mean you have to look and feel slouchy. So dig out that knitted ol' thing  from wherever you've been hiding it and get styling! Here’s some beanie-lovers that might help you get the style just right…








And as if the fashion gods are making sure we stay nice and warm this Winter, socks with heels, although having been around for some time, have become an even bigger fashion statement this season. So while you're busy getting ready for work, before you throw on those stylish sandals or ankle boots, don't forget to pair them with a good pair of socks. Confused? Here, I'll help you with a few ideas. Come on, try it! It's fun and warm too!








Then there's those ugly old specs we simply cannot do without but bluntly refuse to wear! I know. I'm guilty of this too. But who can blame us right - fact is, they are butt ugly indeed! The secret however is to get a pair that suits your face just right, has a trendy frame and a super chick shape. Believe me, this makes a huge difference and you'll never want to go without your specs again! Now you can be fashionable and be able to see too...haha...so what's your preference?








Have these rather unusual fashion items surprised you as much as they did me? 

Who knew, right!

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.
