Red is one of my favourite colours to wear especially in winter! Much like other bright colours it seems to lift your mood just by putting it on. Red is a great statement colour and as long as you get the shade right, it looks good on everyone.
I have already started scouting the shops for items for the new season and red and navy are definitely two colours that are trending for Autumn and Winter 2013. Below are a few of my Red Hot Finds – a super cute Patterned Navy and Red Blouse with Birds from Woolworths – I love the neckline and the cuffs. I also found this Three-quarter Sleeve Red T-Shirt at Woolworths, which looks great with dark and light denim. For a smarter look wear it under a navy blazer. The skinny jeans are by Country Road, also from Woolworths.
Wearing red is something that I have always enjoyed but I have struggled to find a red lipstick that suits me and does not stain my lips for days after wearing it! After much searching, I decided to consult my makeup guru, Kirsten, who just happens to be my sister in-law, who steered me in the direction – MAC Cosmetics. Success!!! I managed to find the colour – Russian Red, a Matte MAC lipstick, and it is amazing! To find out more about how to apply “the perfect red lip” visit Kirsten’s website by clicking here.
In keeping with the Red Hot theme is one of my favourite Essie Nail Polish shades, Pouf Daddy, which in my opinion is the prettiest red shade available. Another new makeup product I have added to my collection, is the Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara – I am loving Rimmel products and they are really inexpensive, which is great!
Have a Fashionably Fabulous weekend! Please share your thoughts and comments or fashion tips below.

This weeks Style by Super Mom features a few of my style and fashion finds and the popular trend of high-low hems or shirt-tails. This trend can be seen across the fashion spectrum in shirts, skirts and dresses. I thought I would try a short-sleeved chiffon top, in classic black, from Mr Price, as my introduction into the trend. The great thing about this look is, if like me you are a tad on the short side, it is perfect because it cuts shorter in the front, making your legs look longer and it will hide a multitude of sins out back! 
I paired the black top with a pair of dark skinny jeans, from Woolworths and these new, super cute, black Gino Paoli pumps I just bought from Queue Shoes.
Black really is a classic colour and definitely one of my favourites for the evening or a more sophisticated day-time look. Wearing all black during the day can be quite severe but if you pair it with contrasting accessories or a bright nail polish or lip colour it can be super chic.
This gorgeous pearly lilac nail polish by Cherimoya, which I received in a goodie bag last week, is not a colour I would normally choose but I am loving it and it looks great with black! The only thing I do not like about it, is that the nail polish brush is a bit too thick.
The final touch to complete your look is a spray of your favourite fragrance and mine at the moment happens to be the Lady Gaga Fame – rather unusual because the fragrance is actually black! So SEXY!
Items: Black High-low Top R79 Mr Price, Dark Skinny Jeans R275 Woolworths, Animal Print Scarf (Gift), Black Gino Paoli Pumps R329 Queue Shoes, Two-tone Bracelet R120 Woolworths, Cherimoya Nail Polish R19.95

A bit late today but slowly getting back on track with my blogging schedule! I am not overly convinced about the peplum trend but you have to love this amazing Victoria Beckham(VB) design that Elle Macpherson is wearing. The quintessential glamour-goddess strutting her stuff! VB definitely seems to have mastered the art of identifying what flatters the feminine form. I am loving this structured grey dress, peplum and all, on Elle Macpherson – super chic and super sexy!

Fashion Friday is all about glitz, glamour and the red carpet! Featuring my favourite Red Carpet look from this years SAG Awards and the gorgeous Naomi Watts! Looking absolutely radiant in a ornately beaded Marchesa gown, diamond Fabergé earrings and glittery box clutch, Naomi typifies old-world Hollywood glamour. She adds just a few punches of colour to her ice-white look, with a bright ruby lip, an emerald-green mani and topped off with a chunky emerald ring, also by Fabergé. Not to forget her beautifully styled golden locks! STUNNING!
Have a fabulous Fashion Friday!

Skinny jeans are still a top fashion trend but it is summer in SA and way too hot for jeans! So trade in your jeans for a cheeky pair of shorts. If you have the legs for it high-waisted shorts are super trendy, especially pretty lace ones but do not worry if you feel that these expose too much flesh, then try something in a longer bemuda style. There are styles for everyone!
I am loving this trend which is becoming increasingly popular from the beach to the boardroom, with flirty cut-off denim shorts in gorgeous pastel shades to chic tailored shorts worn with heels and a tailored jacket. As I mentioned there is a style combination for everyone!
To shop this trend in SA try major retailers such as Woolworths, Mr Price and Foschini. If you are looking for more tailored or lace shorts try stores such as Zara and Mango. I have bought quite a few pairs of shorts from Woolworths this season(see image below). They retail for R160 and are wonderfully soft and fit me well, without being to short!
