One of my favorite local fashion brands, VAMP are releasing their first ever short film on the 5th of September at Waiting Room. Check out the Facebook event for more details, in the meantime here's the behind the scenes video:
See you there!

I was wearing leggings with this but it was too hot so I took them off and left 'em in the car. Outfits that just plan themselves...I'm at fashion's mercy, what's new? Wore this to the Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer concert. I love one hit wonders, my Ipod is just full of them. People see them as punchlines but really they gave you a moment, a song in your life and they live in that song's shadow while the world forgets them. The best quote from Lady Gaga is when she said “A year from now, I could go away, and people might say, ‘Gosh, what ever happened to that girl who never wore pants?’ But how wonderfully memorable 30 years from now, when they say, ‘Do you remember Gaga and her bubbles?’ Because, for a minute, everybody in that room will forget every sad, painful thing in their lives, and they’ll just live in my bubble world.”
It must be a very difficult thing to do, permanently framed in a pair of parachute pants or in a cheesy music video. Forever recognised as that snapshot of a person, unchanging, donning a jester's hat. But it's really just a person just like you and I that has been cartoonized and put in a jack-in-the-box. The concept of one hit wonders reminds me; no one thing can define something as complex as a person. People are always changing with little tweaks that can make a big difference. Be whoever you want to become. No one can put a label on evolution because it's never stagnant for very long or as a wiser man once said, "Can't touch this".
Have a lovely week!

These are just some photos from the Vintage Lifestyle Magazine launch, you can check out more at facebook.com/safashiongirl. I met some great new people and enjoyed Nicole and Jasna's company as always. The catering and drinks were amazing so I'd like to extend my many thanks to Nicole Warr and Starlings Coffee for a lovely and charming event. Also thank you Natalie for coming with me and getting snap-happy. Note to self: next event less hands on hippage, jeez girl..
Lately I've been busy with Christmas shopping, becoming an aunt to a baby boy named Jackson, seeing friends and I went to the Vanilla Ice, Turbo B and MC Hammer concert. It was kind of magical, they played the Thong Song before the show so by the time Rhythm Is A Dancer was being performed I was serious as cancer enjoying myself.
Happy holidays everyone!
I'm in love with one of the dopest local brands I've seen. Vamp Clothing is the modern, edgy, all around badass of South African fashion so I had to get my hands on the above 3 pieces. I can't get enough of evil eyes, I've always had one but it gets lost or breaks somehow. I was once told that the evil eye reflects people's behaviour towards the wearer back onto them. A kind of karma charm.
The reason I'm so passionate about this brand, which also offers some amazing clothing, is because their accessories speak to the young and reckless. I used to feel guilty about my over-indulgent accessories obsession until I quickly remembered why I keep on having to buy more. When you're really living in the moment, there are casualties. Your necklaces break while you're getting out of a cab, your rings fall apart backstage before you take your walk on the runway or you crunch new earrings with your high heels while being kissed by a boy who's just bad news. So really, there's never enough accessories.

If you've ever fallen asleep in bracelets and rings, loved how they tell a little story or just broken some rules, get your fix with Vamp Clothing. These babies were made with the wild in mind so you can get your crunk on without so much as a scratch to show for it.
