Today’s Fashion Friday is all about polka dots. I am loving this trend, from elegant black and white, to pretty coral and white dots. There are so many ways to wear polka dots, it is a fun way to dress for summer – you can opt for a dotty summer dress or a sheer dotty blouse, paired with shorts or jeans. I do think that it is one of those trends where less is more, so keep it simple and stylish and do not over do the dots!

Competition Details:
In South Africa we are fortunate to live in a country which is overflowing with amazing creative skills and talent! I love meeting people who have taken their skills and talent and put them into practice, doing what they truly love, which reflects in the product they produce. One such amazingly talented lady is Catherine Nebe from Mr and Ms, who I have had the pleasure of getting to know over the past few months.
Catherine designs a gorgeous local fashion range, which is all about individual expression. Mr and Ms is not primarily about chasing current trends, but rather about taking inspiration from beautifully designed clothing from the past and applying that inspiration to today’s context.
Mr and Ms is my own creation. My focus is on design for the individual. Acute attention to detail at every stage is crucial to me. So I have deliberately held back on growing my brand beyond what I can maintain. I pride myself on the fact that each item is a special creation.” ~ Catherine Nebe
Great emphasis has been placed on quality, which is maintained throughout the production process, from inspiration, through design, production and sales, to delivery. Mr and Ms specializes in well-made and well-fitted apparel with a touch of vintage individuality to compliment the classic style and beauty.
As a mom of two (very trendy girls), I like to think of myself as someone who follows trends but maintains my own sense of style, which makes Mr and Ms the perfect brand for me. The garments are created to enhance and complement your existing wardrobe and to become classic staples items that will last, rather than a fad which you will tire of.

I love this gorgeous Essie shade Jam n’ Jelly, it is a warm fuschia pink with an iridescent sheen. It is so perfect for summer and looks gorgeous on your fingers and toes. It looks wonderful with white and even more stunning if you are wearing black! To tell you the truth it is one of my all time favourites, let’s just hope they keep it around for a while.
