Spree S/S Lookboard 2014

Last week I attended the Spree Lookboard event which showcased the leading online fashion retailer's summer showstoppers featuring designs by Shana Morland, Gert-Johan Coetzee, Ruff Tung, Thula Sindi, Adam & Eve and Ilan, just to name a few.

The prints were gorgeous and the brights were stunning. My personal favourites were the pastel statement dress by Ruff Tung and the art-inspired Bold Strokes look as seen on the model with the Paul's Boutique coral handbag. Wow! Can the stylist responsible for that please stand up? I'm guessing it was Spree's Fashion Director, Chris Viljoen. Listen, I wouldn't mind being BFFs, just saying.

Spree also launched Spree Boutique which is an online collection of garments by top South African designers. I really do love the initiative Spree takes with supporting our local talent, it's now super easy to shop SA fashion.

Thanks to Spree as well as the lovely ladies pictured above; Jasna, Tegan and Fatima. I had a great time checking out what's in store for summer. You can shop Spree at spree.co.za

Forever New: High Society

I had the chance to check out Forever New's High Society collection that's in stores at the moment. An amazing electric violinist played while models walked out in gorgeous mini and maxi dresses with a fluffy poodle adding a dash of cute - certainly the dog a Forever New girl would bedeck in a sparkly collar, don't ya think? High Society is a spring collection in sorbet colours and floral prints. Think tea parties or a day at the races. Crochet, silks, broderie anglais and 50s and 60s silhouettes were accessorized with statement necklaces and embellished clutches.

Forever New offers strappy heels, charming purses and delicate rings to complete their classic feminine looks. I like to mix rock 'n roll and girly so I love teaming sweet dresses from here with spikes and boots. Speaking of accessories, British brand, Orelia jewellery will launch exclusively at selected Forever New stores from Mid-November 2013 providing gorgeous costume jewellery made with Swarovski crystals, semi-precious stones and beautiful charms.

High Society will be available in all Forever New stores and select Edgars stores from October 2013 while the Orelia @ Forever New collection will be available at Forever New stores in Eastgate Mall, Fourways Mall, Gateway Shopping Centre, I’ Langa Mall, Menlyn Mall, Pavilion Shopping Centre, Sandton City, V&A Waterfront and Woodlands Mall from mid-November 2013.

I think I might have to get my Queen's Plate dress from here...

Good vibes

Hair - Toni & Guy

Dress - Forever New

Ring - Sass Diva
Nails - Dante Express

Sandals - Accessorize

I'm feeling mellow in my tie dye and looking forward to long days and summer festivals. Since I switched to Toni & Guy products, my hair is looking and feeling better than ever so I took inspiration from their Hair Meet Wardrobe puffed out plait for this look.

Gut feelings, intuition, energies…seems kooky but when you’re receptive to them, they always turn out to be dead on. So many possibilities, choices, opportunities and experiences lie in front of us, we can’t even begin to comprehend all of them. We have no idea where we may end up or how quickly things can change. It’s exciting to be alive for every single one of us. Look to the future with hearts and eyes wide open. Every negative and positive can shape you beautifully. We're all a moment away from everything. Breathe, get ready, get set, go.

2nd Take Spring Garden Fashion Show

2nd Take recently presented their new range for spring and I was there to snap some pics. Florals, monochrome, sheer elements and pastels were on display with the girls and guys showing us both casual and smarter styling options. This sweet little vintage store in Sea Point offers great deals on international labels so I picked up a gorgeous cotton tank. The prices are very reasonable and a lot of garments are a once off so if you're looking to find unique key pieces, check out the boutique at 53 Regent St or you can even shop online.

FEDISA Markham Menswear Day

Last week I checked out the FEDISA Markham Menswear Fashion Flash and it was such a treat. Markham's provided a brief to the college and students were then assembled into dynamic teams and asked to choose from one of four themes: Nautical, Tribe, Bleached Beach and Jungle. After collaborating on designs, moodboards, sketches and fabric choices together, each student then made a garment which would make up the range for each team. I saw a lot of nautical at fashion week and to be honest, was getting tired of this trend being perennially pushed. Enter young creatives for a breath of fresh sea air! Thank you for helping me to enjoy maritime threads again, FEDISA.

Tie dye and pastels were gorgeous, denim was crisp, prints were exciting and the details were amazing. From newspaper print textiles lining jackets to creative patch pockets....details slay me. Let's not even get into accessories because the bags were a delight. It's the small things sometimes; the extras that really anchor a look. Each student also created more avant garde pieces to echo their concept featuring self-made prints, macramé and re-fabrication. The texture in those outfits were amazing. I loved so many of the garments that I wanted to share every single one so do check out Facebook for more. It's refreshing to see students focus heavily on menswear ergo I'm proud of this institution for offering such a comprehensive fashion education. Raya and I dreamed of returning there to study at their beautiful campus. Well done to the students for their impeccable work. Another feather in your cap, FEDISA.
