Winter Must-haves

Winter is well on its way, and the temperatures are definitely getting lower. With winter comes new trends and an opportunity to rework or inject new pieces into your wardrobe.  This is what should be on your fashion radar – it’s definitely on mine.

The beast of all coats – the winter coat

As the temperatures drop you’re going to need a coat you can count on to keep you toasty when you’re out and about.  If you’re feeling the pinch in your wallet – grab a neutral coat which can get you through any occasion but if your pocket can afford it go all out and grab them in an array of colours – for some reason I’m loving mustard coloured coats.

Hello Mustard...


Bring out the baddies

Brogues will be a hit this winter so grab yourself a pair. Boyish masculine looks never looked so good plus there’s an added quirkiness to brogues that makes anyone wearing them stand out. Best worn with a tailored pant–suit for sophisticated glamour...

Boyish
The wild card

My favourite of all them winter looks is Faux fur  jackets - these just scream I know a thing or two about fashion – don’t mess with me ..
This look gets me so excited



All for the bombs

Don’t be alarmed – no one’s getting killed but a bomber jacket will earn you fashion killer status. Brave the chill in this weather proof piece– the bomber jacket is everything –I have definitely been eyeing the Tanya Nefertari bombers for a while #supportlocal Check her designs on IG

The ultimate rouge bag

There’s much to be said about a lady who injects red into her everyday looks, whether it’s the colour of a dress being donned or the colour on your nails or the bright hue on your lips – red is bold and outstanding – make a point to don a statement red bag in these chill months. With your rouge bag in tow you can do no wrong.

Boot season

Get booted into the season with an array of boots. Go for classic colours and clean lines. Keep it French, keep it simple for day. At night – add some sassiness in your step and get into some knee highs...

Boot Perfection 


Make a mark

Add prints to what would often be a boring winter look. Printed jackets, coats and jerseys are everything... Not only will it add vibrancy to your look – you will feel good on the inside too.

Oversized or Exaggerated accessories

More is more in winter and we won’t apologise for it – the weather is dull but our looks will only get better. Indulge your accessory obsession by rocking big statement pieces and keeping them chandelier earrings plus I’ve always loved over-sized hoops popping out of a winter beanie.

And this my friends is how we will do winter this year...

Taking sleepwear to the streets

My current favourite look is sleepwear. You might be thinking what, why and how? This look has captivated me for a minute now and I just had to share some great looks that you can emulate. It’s fun, laid back, edgy and depending on how you rock it - can be delightfully classy.


If my word isn’t good enough at least let’s trust Marc Jacobs’ style stamp of approval. The designer has featured sleepwear more than once in his previous collections.

Uptown Date night

Organikks Restaurant
1 Dacomb drive, Chisipite
Harare
0782 785 000 / 0782785999
Open for dinner from Wednesday to Saturday.

Last Thursday night I had the pleasure of having a delicious and filling dinner with my foodie partner at Organikks restaurant in Chisipite. This upmarket eatery has the right kind of atmosphere, quality food and great service...

Wellington Mandizha was on deck for entertainment that night. The professional musician has played and gained a reputation for his unique style and versatility. He is also currently the in house musician for the prestigious five star Cresta Mowana Safari Lodge & Spa in Kasane Botswana where he has proved to be so popular. His repertoire of ballads includes Rock, Pop, Blues, Reggae and Jazz and any other style that is requested. Take it from me when I say that this guy has an amazing voice and had us singing along to the good old songs I had somewhat missed.

All in it was an amazing evening –with good food and music- I actually found it hard to leave.

Check out what we had
