4 Things I…Nicole Warr from Diamonds & Dust

 

Today my featured blogger is Nicole Danielle Warr. Nicole is the founder and editor of Vintage Lifestyle Magazine, South Africa’s first online vintage magazine – which I find a source of great inspiration.

[quote style=”1″]On the 4th of December 2010, Vintage Lifestyle launched South Africa’s first ever vintage magazine. Vintage Lifestyle magazine is a free online magazine, inspired by all things vintage. The content covers fashion, décor, travel, unique coffee experiences, beauty icons of the pre 80’s era, music and much more.[/quote]

Nicole is also the owner of the blog Diamonds & Dust, through her blog she shares her personal experiences and her love of fashion. I am a lover of all things fashion and wait expectantly for the next, fashion inspired instalment from Nicole and especially loved this post she did featuring prints by Manolo Blahnik.

 

Nicole enjoys taking pictures, listening to music, reading inspirational blogs, wine tasting and styling fashion shoots.

 

 4 things I dream of…

 

  • For Vintage Lifestyle Magazine to be recognized as the biggest vintage magazine in the world.

Fashion – You have to "LOVE" it

 

74666352_bdfad9ui_c

I am truly in love with, the romantic, “love” inspired, fashion that seems to have taken world by storm. It can either be pretty, with lots of frilly lace or understated, with muted pastel tones. In fact there are no rules; the only requirement is that it oozes sensuality and romance.

Romantic Fashion Style

This trend is nothing new, but it is possible that I am more aware of it, because I am the mother of two “fashion forward”, young girls. I have had my older daughter looking over my shoulder, whilst I was writing this blog, exclaiming “ooh I love that, it is all so pretty!” I have to admit that even though I would not wear a great deal of these items, I love the flouncy, frilliness of it all!

Romantic Fashion Style

Your look can be classy and chic or vintage and Bohemian. Fabrics like chiffon and silk feature a great deal in many of the fashions, which although beautiful are not always practical, for a mom. I guess it is OK to dream.

Romantic Fashion Style

If you feel that the whole look would be too much for you, then pairing a beautiful blouse with a pair of jeans could be an option.

Romantic Hair Style

The same trend can be seen in hair and makeup. The look in makeup is definitely ‘less is more’, muted natural shades, with pinks and corals featuring a great deal. Hair too is soft and natural, with lose flowing curls or swept up, with beautiful hair pins and floral accessories.

Romantic Accessories

Jewellery is baroque inspired, with gold and pearls and lots of layers. Antique style earrings and ornate rings are a must; even ‘the brooch’, has made a grand comeback. Pretty floral or lacy scarves are also popular when accessorizing this look.

So the key is to have has as much fun as possible and unleash the  “inner romantic” in you.

FAR Photography, Vintage

Vintage Charm

I love old world charm and vintage-styled photographs. This is a collection of photographs I took which lend themselves to that old fashioned simple style.
