Feeling pretty in my winter favourite

 A few weeks back I got a chance to go out for a late afternoon lunch (by now you know I love to eat). I hope I get time to post the food post soon. I've been swamped with school but I will be sure to get it out to you as soon as I can. It was a late lunch because we couldn't decide on where to eat but what to wear took 5 minutes tops. It has been quite cold of late but that day - the sun was out and it was quite warm out - making it one of my favourite days this winter. I was more excited because I didn't have to cover up so much. So here's the look I went for - a very summery look with flowers in my hair, printed leggings, a nautical dress top paired with neutral black courts. It may be cold out but I hope this makes you look forward to summer and gives you ideas for what to wear when its warmer out...

Fashion faux pas

I’ve seen a number of fashion faux pas over the years and there’s some that I just don’t get  We  need to stop committing these crazy fashion crimes. I will have to admit there's times I’ve personally been caught on the wrong side of the law. Like the time I wore yellow denims a yellow polo neck and some very questionable shoes. I look on that moment with absolute horror. So a few of my friends helped me with this one – this might help someone so please do share.

We don’t get why you would wear a really thick tracksuit bottom with a a skirt on top

Pachigogo style. It may be winter but just stop it already. It’s either one or the other. Of course some stylistas do get this look right. It’s important to note they’ve matched the components from texture to fit and dimensions to make it work howeve,  everyone else is just doing it to stay warm and believe me it's not working.

We don’t get how you can wear heels when you can't walk in them

Please note my mum says you look like you're walking like a giraffe. Now picture that. Now picture you doing that. Does it look good to you? Didn’t think so. Heels aren’t made for everyone and we can see when it's killing you and you’re faking it. Spare yourself the drama – no one’s going to resent you for it besides there’s some perfectly stylish flats out there and  fashionable sneakers are all the rage right now so try that instead.

Girls with shaved eyebrows and hairy armpits; what's your story?

Let me just leave this here.

We don’t get why you use red brow liner on your brows

Who came up with this and why; but why vasikana? Who has red brows though?. I mean what happened to black and brown?Do you know there’s black and brown? I think you get my point. Just stop!

See through leggings

I actually like leggings but we didn’t ask for a show and like my dear friend would say hold on, it's not that kind of party. Long tops and leggings especially if they are see through that's just the answer. You might think you look good but no one wants to see that. I repeat no one.

Color blocking is so last year

Like all things trends come and go. Yes if done well it can still look good but some of you are taking it too far. Check out exhibit A and B below to get why this is on the list.

We don,t get why you wear peep toe heels or flats with super long uncut toe nails

What are you trying to do, hurt somebody? Yes I’m going there. I’m sorry to say but it's wise to invest in a nail cutter. Keep it short and sweet. Polish your nails if you must- just don't scare us with your toes. It gets distracting.

Review: Luster’s Soothing Sheen Spray

I must say, I have been longing to use this product since I got my hands on it and I can proudly say it was worth the wait. I’ve grown up using a number of sheen sprays on my hair and I’ve hardly stuck to one. I really do hope this ends up being a lasting relationship. I recently got a new hairdo and I sure did spray away. The scent is quite contagious- making me want to get a whiff of my hair every now and then because it’s got a lovely sweet scent that lingers on. One thing I hate is a product that doesn’t stick to what it says it offers but Luster’s soothing sheen spray gets a thumbs up on delivery – my hair hasn’t lost its shine since I sprayed it which is what I look for in a product – it would suck to have to continuously spray your hair with sheen spray and only get a few minutes of shine. For all my hair lovers and friends grab one when you’re out and get back to me with the results.

Luster’s Pink Organic Xtra Virgin Olive Oil Soothing Sheen Spray contains a blend of Organic Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Avocado Oil and other natural, beneficial oils to give you a superb, healthy and natural shine. Works great on braids, relaxed hair, colour treated hair and natural styles.
