Heidi Klum on the Cover of Elle

Burberry Blazer, Sportmax Shirt & Marc Jacobs Skirt

Today I am featuring the gorgeous Heidi Klum.The German-American model, actress, television host, businesswoman, fashion designer, television producer, occasional singer and in my opinion one of the most beautiful woman in the world! Her famous face has graced many a magazine cover over the years, and she is also well-known for hosting the popular “Top Model” TV series.

Her recent split from pop icon Seal, her husband of seven years, in January, has brought a great deal of media attention her way. Most often this type of attention can be negative but Heidi maintains that she is holding her head high and she is trying not to dwell on the negative aspects but rather concentrate on more positive things. Among these, she feels that her children are her top priority.

Heidi also has her own shoe collection, which she originally launched as HK for New Balance activewear collection. After receiving customer feedback, she decided to launch a collection that also offered stylish, sexy and affordable alternatives, which she has introduced as HK by Heidi Klum Shoe Collection. This collection is available exclusively on Amazon.com and Amazon’s shoe and accessories site, endless.com.

My Top 4 Fashion Items

There is definitely a trend, as far as the common shade of colour, that runs through most of my favourite fashion items at the moment, tangerine is big this season and I could not resist adding a bit of tangerine to my own wardrobe!

My Top 4 Fashion Items

It is fun and a bit sassy and I feel wonderful in it!
The shell bracelet I am wearing was a gift from brother and my new sister-in-law for Christmas! I am loving it, it’s great with most colours but works exceptionally well with more earthy tones.
The beautiful geometric print scarf was also a gift, from good friends and it is so pretty and soft. It looks beautiful with white linen trousers and a white T or vest.
My old faithful suede wedges have been out and about quite a bit of late, as well as being super comfy they work well with a skirt, a dress or jeans. The colour is neutral so you can get away with wearing them with just about anything, day or night! Oh and the added bonus is they make my legs look awesome!

What are your favourite fashion items? Please share them with us we would love to see what they are!

Look of the Week – Floral "Party Pants"

My look of the week this week is bang on trend! “Party” pants are very much the trend at the moment and paired with a smart black blazer it gives the whole look a smart – sassy edge. Add a pair of killer heels and you are well on your way to super sexy “street style”.

I am not necessarily convinced that this look is for me but I would be willing to at least give it a try!

Zara To Open In Cape Town

Exciting news! Spanish retailer Zara to open in Cape Town! Zara will open in the V&A Waterfront, in Cape Town! There has been a great deal of speculation as to whether this major international retailer would actually be opening a store, in Cape Town but the good news was announced earlier this month. As I mentioned in a previous post, Zara is one of my favourite stores to shop at, when I visit London – not that I ever need an excuse to shop! I have bought some truly classic items from the UK stores in the past, so I hope that the local store lives up to my expectations.

David Green, CEO of the V&A Waterfront, says this popular, high street fashion brand will be an exciting addition to the already impressive line-up of internationally acclaimed brands in the V&A Waterfront fold. The new Zara store will be located in the Victoria Wharf, in the V&A Waterfront’s main shopping centre. The brand is felt to be a good fit for the Waterfront which is said to be Cape Town’s premier retail and entertainment destination.

So we eagerly await the opening, which is scheduled for later this year. Further details are still to be announced, so I will be sure to keep you undated on any news.
