Festival Series 2 - Sunnies

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted on my blog :(
Unfortunately being sick and busy at work doesn't make it very easy...

But as I keep saying, summer is on the way, and each day 
gets a little warmer!
Episode Two of my festival series introduces yet
another must-have item for our awesome
Cape Town music fests... Sunnies!

Retro shapes of all sorts seems to be here to stay,
whether its aviators you love or
the massive half-face-covering sunnies you adore,
anything seems to be going this summer.


One style, however, is definitely dominating the scene
this spring:

The Cat Eye Sunglasses

Mainly popular due to their stick-out style of being flared
out where the arms join the main frame, these babies havent changed
much from the 50's and 60's when they were most popular, however
there are a few renditions of this style for the less-daring
cat eye lover...

I absolutely love this style!
It's elegant, alluring, nostalgic and will definately
get one noticed in a crowd!

Below are my favourite pair are from Miu Miu (oh of course!)
I love how the cat eye style is very softly represented here and wont be
too striking or heavy on the face:

 

Some others from Miu Miu (Go to their site now!! Best eyewear for Summer 2011 ever!)

I think the main thing in terms of eyewear this summer is to have fun with
new trends and to be a bit more daring with your choices :)


After all, that's what fashion is for!

Festival Series 1 - Denim Shorts

YES! Summer time means

(if you're from South Africa)

some of the world's best music festivals and trance parties around!

Think hot-as-hell weather, best friends, awesome music... aah. CANT WAIT!

So this is the first episode of my new "Festival Series", in which

I will be posting the hottest and trendiest must-haves

for Summer 11 in Cape Town, South Africa.

So to start with, a pretty basic and obvious trend (and of course timeless)

The Denim Shorts

This season is seeing more of a high-waisted thing going on,

with ripped or raw edges and pockets sticking out the 

bottom seems to be how it should be done this summer. 

Pair this with pretty much anything, as well

as that free-spirited indie-rock chick attitude 

(see pics below for more inspiration). 

But remember to find a style that

suits your body type.... always important!

So must-have-festival item number one! Go go go!

Look out for my next episode coming soon!

Blouse... Get one!

 

Want something posh, mod and light for a trendy summer look?

This is my new fav item, and I will

be keeping a sharp eye out in the shops

for one of these.. or two... or five :)

Bringing in everyone's new love of see-through

clothing with a granny-core styled blouse, this

item of clothing should be paired with skinnies or cute denim shorts

to give it a more casual look, or

tucked into a cute high-waisted skirt for something more

formal and sexy. Really, do what

you like with this!

Look out for interesting patterns and

bold, spicy or pastel colours... And detailed

necklines, collars, contrasting cuffs and ties and of course buttons!

The ones below are all from Urban Outfitters,

and can be viewed over here!

Have fun with this!

Trinket - Local Designer Brooches

I absolutely LOVE seeing beautiful

things coming out of SA that I haven't seen anywhere

else before.

 

Trinket Designer Brooches

is just that.

 

So this is just a quick entry to share with you

these delightful little contemporary brooches.

 

Below are a few of my fav!! I think there are a few great

ones for the guys too, to either attach to your

jeans or shorts or cardigans this coming spring? 

yes :)

You can find them
(if you're from the cape) in Long Street

at either MeMeMe or Mungo & Jemima! For elsewhere

in SA, check out their site...

over here!

 

enjoy kids!

In LOVE with Kate Moss

Yes! She's now part of the "taken" crowd...

Kate Moss got married to her "rocker" boyfriend

(from The Kills)

Jamie Hince on Friday 1st July in Southrop, England.

And talk about a marriage, this one consumed the entire weekend

with its festival-like festivities. And Kate looked

absolutely devine in her John Galliano dress

 --> which was dripping with rhinestones and

topped off with a gorgeous vintage-styled lace veil. *sigh*

Everything about this screams elegant fairy rock princess... Just stunning.

 

Kate says:

 “I wanted it to be kind of dreamy and 1920s, when everything is soft-focus.” 

And that it most certainly was, but of course with a bit of a twist!

All the images below are part of the collection of
official pics taken by wedding photographer
Mario Testino,
and are coming out in the US Vogue today!

You will find a whole bunch more

(including a few of the celebs that attended too...)

over here! 

enjoy!
