Where She Writes

Hello Everyone :)
It is obviously extremely late for me to say this but I will go ahead and say it any way. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I have been away for too long and I am deeply sorry for abandoning you guys but I promise that I am back. Better than ever in fact. My sole purpose for this post is to introduce a new page here, which is 'Crib Notes'. Crib Notes is a new part of me were I will share my writings about well anything and everything that I write about, I know this might sound petty of me but I am learning to put my words together and I have so much to say that I just want to share with you guys, and get some opinions on how to improve my writing and so forth. And the reason why I have a different page for my writing is because it might not always be fashion and style related, and I do not want to confuse or lose any of my fashion and style friends who have no interest in the other topics that I might discuss or write about on 'Crib Notes'.

Friendly Fashion Update

Hello :)
I am very heartbroken that I haven't been an active blogger but I have a good or rather valid explanation as to why I am away for so long. I do not have proper blogging equipment (shed's a tear). 
I own a Blackberry Curve 8520 and my camera refuses to connect to my PC. I do not know why all of this is happening to me but I am working on it and I will be a regular again. 
During my absence I would like to thank everyone who has been spreading the word about my blog, it does not have much content but you guys love it nonetheless. Thank you sexys and lovers of fashion for your support.
And during my absence I have learnt a lot from other bloggers and vloggers on Youtube and I must say that I have become so addicted to Youtube and I am contemplating on becoming a vlogger too. Well after I get a new camera of course.

Now onto the topic of fashion, you guys already know it is winter down south. Winter is my favourite season and the fashion is always on the ten's and I would like to believe that my fashion is along those numbers too *giggles*
My favourite things to wear in winter:
  1. My black cotton scarf from Woolworths
  2. Black pleather leggings from Edgars
  3. Black pleather shorts from Woolworths
  4. Black leather biker jacket from Edgars
  5. Loafers
  6. Tights or stockings
  7. Bondage skirts
  8. Trench coat
  9. Printed pants
  10. Ruby Woo MAC lipstick
  11. Rimmel eyepencil
  12. Rebel MAC lipstick
  13. Sunscreen
  14. Boots
  15. Dresses
These are just a few of my favourite things and not forgetting the accessories to go with. And I am a lover of black, I have no idea why but in winter I just love me a monochrome look and a pop of colour ever now and then. I bought myself a few MAC lipsticks and they add the pop of colour if not the accessory.

I hope that I gave you guys an idea on what to add to your winter do's and PLEASE share your winter do's with me too, I would love to learn new tricks on how to look and how to twist my outfit in winter. Even though it is the last month of winter in the south.
I hope you guys are well and I love you all. Stay Sexy and Stylish Lovers :)

A few of my snaps during my absence.

Keira Knightley to play Coco Chanel??

I would like to apologise for my absence, it has been a very busy year and my time has been limited to my studies. But I promise that I will now try to sneak a little post in now and then. Nonetheless especially my personal outfits of the day and favourites so look out for that. Right, now to the headlined story about this upcoming film directed by the King Karl Lagerfeld himself, celebrating the 100th anniversary of Chanel's first ever store in Deauville, France. He chose the face of Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle fragrance to portray the legendary Coco Chanel. I for one think Keira is a excellent choice since she sort of has a resemblance to Coco.

What are your thoughts about Chanel's 100th anniversary and the film? And particularly what are your thoughts about Keira Knightley as Coco Chanel?

Solange Knowles for Elle Magazine South Africa

I loved this magazine cover so much I thought I should just share it with you. If you have not seen it already then it is my pleasure (laughs). Solange came to Cape Town South Africa with her mother Tina Knowles to shoot a video for her new single "Losing You" and to shoot the cover of my favourite magazine Elle. So without any further delays here are some of the shots I found on the Elle web site (elle.co.za)


On the Cover,Solange is wearing Loin Cloth & Ashes shorts, Tart top and Pichulik rope bracelets.

And here are some of the behind-the-scenes editorial shots:

 Silk brocade bustier and matching skirt by Gavin Rajah, Jacket by Loin Cloth & Ashes and Wire and Bead Cuffs each by Merchants on Long.

I hope you guys find this as inspiration to go get the magazine if you are in Africa, thats if you do not have it already. If you live in the other parts of the world and it is not on sale there just visit elle.co.za and watch the behind-the-scenes videos.

Summer Inspiration and Aspirations

I have a few, well lets just say a dozen things that I want this summer. One never knows how or where to begin, especially if you are an indecisive lover of things like me. Too little money and so many wants, and I just can not bring myself to actually forbid window shopping. No girl, fashion lover or anyone for that matter can walk with their eyes closed. Because as Coco said, "Fashion is everywhere..." The little indecisive me is going to share a few of my summer wishlists and the things I want to do during the summer holidays. I joined Virgin Active health club Again... And hopefully this time I will not back out like I did last year. But I am quite certain that I will stay for a longer period of time because I really am determined to be healthy, fit and shed a few kilos this summer. Being a petite girl with a curvy bum and hips I would also like to rock neon shorts and denim shorts or shorts with aztec and tribal/ethnic prints too. Either than my personal aspirations with exercising i would recommend it for everyone. And its great to see that a lot of South Africans are getting into the exercising thing. Gyms are getting flooded with all sorts of people nowadays.

And the following picture illustrates the determination I am willing to show throughout:
