The Oscars are undoubtedly one of the biggest events, on the Hollywood calendar and a gathering, of some of the most popular stars in the business! Fashion is definitely at the forefront, at an event of this importance and everyone is eager to see who wore what on the red carpet and which designers featured most.

Label Collections

Label Collection

At the end of last year, I visited the showroom of one of our Summer Makeover sponsors, Label Collections and I thought I would share some of their gorgeous creations with you.

Label Collections

LABEL Collections founder and chief designer Nadia Turton, has always had a keen interest in fashion. She began her fashion journey in the retail industry, where she learned the basics and established her own sense of fashion. She then went on to graduate from Cape Tech, with a degree in fashion design, in 2001. After spending two years in London, familiarising herself with international style trends, she returned to Cape Town. Nadia gained further fashion experience in Cape Town, designing for retailers Truworths, Foschini and Edgars before finally launching her own fashion brand – LABEL Collections.

Label-Collections4

As you may know I am a bit of a fashion junkie, so I relished the opportunity of browsing through all Nadia’s stylish designs.

Label Collections is a locally designed and manufactured fashion brand, consisting of two lines – Labelfemme and Labellamere.

Label-Collections3

The Labelfemme fashion range is aimed at the modern woman, who has a unique sense of style and also values function and comfort. Nadia uses beautifully flowing fabrics and adds subtle nuances of feminine lace and pops of colour to further enhance her designs. Labelfemme consists of relaxed casual pieces for everyday wear, as well as stunning bespoke evening wear.

Label Collection

I loved the colour palette of the Label Collections summer line – featuring among others, one of my favourite combinations, of aqua and white!

Label-Collections2 Label-Collections6

Label-Collections-Lafeme

Labellamere is a trendy fashion range for the mom-to-be. There is, after all, no reason pregnant woman should not be fashionable! Again the designs are created using soft billowing fabrics, which help enhance, rather than hide, the beauty of the pregnant form.

Label-Collections-Lamere

Label Collections also design a fab range of accessories and belts, the perfect addition to any wardrobe. the stylist I have being working with stressed that every fashion conscious gal needs at least one good quality leather belt in her wardrobe! I am in love with these belts, especially the broad, leather, figure belts!

If you would like to find out more about this fabulous fashion brand and one of our amazing sponsors, then pop over to the Label Collections website or you can visit their show room, which is situated in the Manhattan Building, 60 Hopkins Street, Salt River, Cape Town or contact Nadia on +27 (021) 447 3456.

Candice Swanepoel for RE Jeans

You may have seen the most recent Woolworths Mag and caught a glimpse of beauty, Candice Swanepoel, gracing the cover. One word ~ “Stunning!”

RE_JEANS_Candice-Swanepoel

Candice Swanepoel was recently selected to represent the RE brand, not only because of her status as a successful South African model, but also for her look, attitude, and achievements, which were well aligned with those of the brand.

For those of you who do not know, RE is a well-known brand of South African authentic jeanswear, exclusive to Woolworths.

RE_JEANS_Candice-Swanepoel2

In my opinion Candice is the perfect fit for the RE Jeans campaign! I love how she epitomizes the spirit of the modern woman, feminine and elegant with just the right amount of “rock-chic”edge!

RE_JEANS_Candice-Swanepoel3

I am not sure about you but I love denim, in fact it is my go-to everyday wardrobe staple! Denim has always been one of my fashion essentials for summer and this season is no exception, with it still being a big trend. Denim-on-denim is a key look – the iconic denim jacket layered with a denim shirt, paired with washed and ‘worn & torn’ denim jeans.

RE_JEANS_Candice-Swanepoel

For a key casual look this summer, pair your faded boyfriend jeans with a pretty top, cropped kaftan, baby-doll racer backs or a lace-backed T. Dress this look up for evening with a cropped jacket. If you are heading to the beach, sexy boyfriend and Bermuda shorts in authentic denim or sexy poly cotton shorts, are the way to go. Complete this look with a graphic or printed tee and you are good to go!

RE_JEANS_Candice-Swanepoel5 RE_JEANS_Candice-Swanepoel4

If it is a more ‘glam’ look you are going for, especially for the holiday ‘dress-up’season, then black is the way to go. Pair black shorts or coated embellished skinny jeans with a metallic embroidered mesh and sequin top.

RE Denim

 

To shop the RE Denim collection you can visit the Woolworths online store or visit a Woolworths store closest to you, to get your denim fashion-fix!

Old Khaki Summer Trends

Old-Khaki-Summer-Trends3

Old Khaki is one of my favourite stores for casual wear, especially for summer. I love the quality of the fabrics they use and I find their clothing stylish, as well as reasonably priced as!

Last week I visited their Cavendish store to get a heads up on what their summer fashion trends are. I thought I would share a few of my favourite looks with you:

Old-Khaki-Summer-Trends5 Old-Khaki-Summer-Trends

I am really loving the Old Khaki Summer Trends and the colourways which they have used in this seasons range. My favourite colours Aqua and Coral feature quite a bit, complimented with pretty florals and neutral shades.

Old-Khaki-Summer-Trends4

I absolutely adore this bag and have added it to my shopping wish list. It is the perfect shade to compliment all these gorgeous summer colours!

Stripe Fashion Trend

The stripe fashion trend is still alive and well in 2013, yet it always amazes me how little of it I have in my own wardrobe! I know it is not one of the easiest trends to wear and much like floral, you can get it horribly wrong but if you get it right it can look so awesome! It is definitely a trend that will get you noticed. Just remember to get the balance right, especially when it comes to the size of the stripe, it is so important to find out what flatters your figure!

Stripes 2013

I have made it my mission this summer to add stripes to my wardrobe and I have already had success with a cute blue and white striped vest, from YDE, which has a bit of sparkle on the shoulder and neckline. I bought it for a “blue & white function” I attended last week and paired it with white skinnies, my blue Zara blazer and a pair of sexy heels – very chic 🙂

I thought I would share some of my favourite ways to wear stripes. How to rock stripes – from runway chic to everyday casual.

Stripe 2013 Stripe Fashion Trend 2013

I personally love monochromatic stripes, either black and white or navy and white, which can look super sexy if you add just a pop of red to your outfit, either shoes, a bag or even a red belt as you see in the image above.
