Fashion Friday

Neon and bright colours are super trendy at the moment. You can wear accessories to give an outfit a punch of colour or go all out and wear the bold trend from head to toe, depending on how brave you are! This trend is definitely reminiscent of the 80’s and 90’s, all you need to do is picture the Wham hit Wake Me Up (yes I am probably showing my age!).

Here are a few ways that I have worn the trend, as I mentioned you can accessorise with colour – fun neon jewellery, a bright clutch or bright bold make-up and nail polish if you are not keen to go all out.

The Black & White Dress above is from Woolworths and the Chevron Stripped Grey and Neon Yellow is from YDE. All the bangles are from the new Cotton On store in Canal Walk and the chunky ring is from Accessorize.

Have a Fashionably Bright Friday!

My Top 4 Body Creams

Today I am sharing My Top 4 Body Creams with you, in no particular order. There are certain things a like about each one and tend to use them for different things.

Woolworths Vanilla & Brown Sugar body butter – those that know me know that I LOVE vanilla! I enjoy using body butter, especially in winter when my skin is very dry. This body butter not only smells heavenly but it is very nourishing and does not leave your skin feeling sticky. It is particularly good to use after you have shaved your legs – very soothing!
Beautiful Earth Ylang-Ylang & Rosewood body butter – this is really an amazing product which I reviewed a few months back. It is a wonderfully pure body butter made from only natural ingredients and essential oils, it has a soft subtle fragrance, which matches its pretty pink colour. My tub is just about empty, so it is definitely time to order more.
Busby Liquid Gold Intensive Moisturiser – this is not solely a body cream but I am using it as one. It is extremely moisturising for dry skin and also good for sensitive skin as it contains natural oils and beeswax. I would even go so far as to say it would be great for baby’s skin. It has a fairly thick consistency but is non-greasy and does not have much of a fragrance.
Innoxa Balance Body Lotion with green tea extracts – this is one of the products that I received in my July rubybox and instantly feel in love with it. It is light and non-greasy and smells absolutely amazing, good enough to eat really!!

What is your favourite body cream or body butter? Please share them with us and what you love about them!

Snoods

I thought I would do a post update on the post I did last week on Snoods {something between a scarf & a hood!}, as I have had a few enquires as to where to buy them. I recently bought myself one from Woolworths, they had quite a few bright colours but I opted for a neutral beige. {I will get a bit more adventurous next time – I promise!} Today being the cold winters day it was I had the opportunity to try it out {it certainly did the job – keeping me warm & toasty} so here are a few pics of me wearing my Snood.

My Fashion File – Swimwear Trends Summer 2011/2012

Nanette Lepore

As the weather seems to be getting warmer here, in Cape Town, the time has come to start thinking about venturing out and making a few necessary purchases. So I thought I would do something fun, to get you in the mood for summer and give you some idea of what’s out there on the swimwear scene.

The look this summer definitely has retro references, with a return to 60’s & 70’s swimwear glamour. One piece costumes are making a big come back, in either bold – solid colours or flirty florals, which are more feminine with flounces and frills.

Swimwear Trends 2011/2012 by supermomsa featuring 77kids

The trend in bikinis are nude, neutral tones and even shimmery gold’s – if you are looking for a bit more bling. To complete your look, you can shade yourself from the sun with a giant sun hat or tie a scarf around your head for a bit of 70’s styling.

So be daring and try something different this season and whatever your style just have fun with it, it is summer after all! See you on the beach! 😎
