Blogger of the Moment - Lipgloss Kisses by Chicara


.........................................................

... is my number ONE go-to blog for anything
SOUTH AFRICAN and beauty.

Written by Pretoria girl Chicara,
this blog features the most creatively put-together and 
fun to read blog posts about 
BEAUTY and fashion - with all local products!

Her blog is beautifully personal too.
My favourite weekly post is Chicara's 
5 Favourites for Friday!

It's a little ensemle of Chicara's personal 5 favourite
anythings .. as well as a little blurb about each item!




She also features other more personal loves...
Some of which we share, including my all time fav survival horror
game - SILENT HILL ;)



I particularly LOVE Chicara's blog posts
where she will review a local brand...

Her write ups are always very on point 
and honest and she always seems to have
the best and most interesting products to write about.
BIG PLUS is that everything is local
and easily accessible... and even better : affordable!

This is an image from her blog post where she reviewed NYX.

And here's a bit more info straight from the bloggers mouth:

.............................................

1. What are your top (1 or 2) products for WINTER and for SUMMER?
-WINTER - I love body oils to quench dry skin. My fave one is definitely the delightfully scented vanilla body oil from Tranquil Body Treats. Another two must haves for winter are a great lip balm and a rich face cream.  SUMMER - I love using highlighter on summer skin. It creates a gorgeous glow. One of my faves is definitely Benefits High Beam. I also love a bit of wash-off fake tan for my white legs. I adore Rimmel's version which I like to mix with a bit of Caribbean tan shimmer cream for flawless looking pins..
2. Fav personal make-up trend or style?
I love a dark grey/black smokey eye and it's been my signature 'going out' look for years. But recently I've really taken to soft, pretty pastel tones.  

3. How would you describe your personal style and what have been your top fashion trends this year so far?
I'm a bit of a mix when it comes to my personal style. I'm a combination of girly-romantic and trendy. I'm obsessed with the pastel trend and of course the neon trend, which I'll be wearing in Spring/Summer.

Blogger of the Moment - Style Riot!

STYLE RIOT...

...............................................

... Is today's blogger of the moment. 



The writer behind this blog is one named Doni Brown 
who is a fashion stylist from Dallas, Texas

She uses her blog to showcase her loves and passions for fashion as well as any good tips and "tricks" she picks up from her job as a freelance stylist.

Here she is, Freelance Stylist in action!! - don't you love her hair?


What first caught my attention about Doni's blog was her simplicity, but a simplicity far lacking interest and style! When browsing through her blog you can instantly tell this girl is very clued up in terms of fashion and style, and in each of her outfit posts there is always at least ONE really great interesting thing she wears :)

Apart from having a Pinterest, Lookbook.nuLookbook.nu, Twitter etc etc, Doni also has an Instagram profile! YAY! I love bloggers who Instagram... It gives you such a personal look inside their daily lives and loves and interests, and a fashion blogger who can Instagram WELL, like Doni, is always a plus!



I managed to hold this girl down for three quick questions... Here's what she says:

Your personal style, in words?

- My style is always evolving, but it always seems to be a bit androgynous. I'm never super feminine, there's always an edge.





Statement necklace - huge 2012 trend! LOVE it paired with a collared shirt.. WIN!

LOVE love these!!!


Top 3 fashion brands or labels or designers?


- This is like asking me to pick my favorite child! haha Right now I'll go with Alexander Wang, Philip Lim, and Balenciaga.

Top Summer 2012 trends you love?

- I actually love most of them! Some of my favorites would have to be pastels, prints, and color blocking.

Definitly a girl to keep your eye on for great style tips and anything on-trend!

Do go follow her blog over here!



LOVE

Blogger of the Moment - Saturday Girl SA

Saturday Girl SA...

...................................................

... I absolutely love the city I live in, and even more than that the people.
Cape Town really has some of the most diverse cultures and personalities in the world, and the same applies for its bloggers.

And now:
Meet Natalie, the girl behind the "Saturday Girl SA" blog!

Natalie

Just look at this gorgeous face!


I love her blog, firstly because of how personal it is. Natalie allows her readers
to have a first hand glance into her world and passions. Her blog is foremost
driven by her love for fashion, and is encrusted with photos and details about her daily life :)



Natalie, girl after my own heart, also has a huge passion for Dance. She is currently studying at VEGA and in what spare time she has she is a freelance stylist. I managed to get hold of her for more info... This is what she said:

How would you define your personal style?

--> Hmmm thats super tricky lol I tend to see it as a beach/surfer/hippy girl kind of style all year round, I love brands like Von Zipper, RVCA and Insight, the whole beach girl hippy feel is totally my vibe, I usually wear tight skinny jeans ( I am obsessed with Jeans) ans Converse sneakers. I love to mix and match with casual styles I am all about tight on the bottom, flowy on top and I love accessories, rings and earrings that reflect my mood or feel.

What are your TOP 3 Summer 2012 Trends?

--> Loads of necklaces all worn at once from chunky to to fine necklaces.
 Brightly coloured shorts, especially high-waisted
Cute 1920's style summer dresses with quirky sunglasses

Do you have any fav local shopping places?

--> I am a big fan of Mr Price Clothing and Second Hand shopping as well as local Fashion Markets. Amazing talent in SA!
Just a few things Natalie likes... and a small introduction to her blog!
................
Like myself, Natalie is also an avid Polyvore - ist!
Her sets pretty accurately reflect her own style in a way,
and it's clear this girl has a knack for fashion
