Fashion Favourites Featuring David Tlale. Gorgeous designs from his MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION WEEK WINTER 2013 collection. I am really enjoying the gold fashion trend this season, so luxurious and I love the use of pattern in these beautiful gowns! I wonder what he has in store for the MBFWCT this year?

My Fashion Friday post is 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!
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!

Today’s Fashion Friday is reminiscent of the 50’s style Rock ñ Roll fashion, which brings back memories of the movie Grease, with flirty swing skirts, figure sculpting fitted bodices and a classic bob to complete the look.
These images were taken backstage at a Dior Show early last year, I simply love the drama that the photographer has managed to capture!
