howwwdaaaay!! what's everyone been up to? myself? hmm, well lets see.. apart from flying into a fit of raaaaage three weeks ago and consequently shaving my head bald, my January's been a real snore-fest. I've been detoxing, going to the gym, eagerly awaiting the appearance of a 6pack and a lotto win. Incase you're unable to tell, I'm in dire need of some mojo so if you have any left-over do the

WE MADE IT!!! Thank you all so much for reading, commenting and entertaining every rambley post that's gone up on this blog the past twelve months - and for bearing with me when I tried to switch my affections to tumblr, when I got ill, when I got busy etc. I decided last year to put a little more effort in the blog and consequently met some wonderful, encouraging people (online and off), so

I only recently realised that with regards to my birthday, the less of a fuck I give the more I tend to enjoy the occasion! I turned 23 yesterday and couldn't have asked for a better day.. I had no outlandish birthdayzilla demands, no cake, didn't force any restaurant staff to sing me happy birthday, just had a thankful spirit, enjoyed self-bought presents, time with my loved ones and champagne

It's been a long time I shouldn't have left you without no beat to step to, but between sorting my life out, fending off illness and getting myself embroiled in general grown-up activities I haven't had much time to dedicate to the blog. Aaand what time I've had free I've spent with my nose buried in The Grapes Of Wrath, so being the weirdo that I am I decided to dress up like one of those

I'm 100% sure it was only yesterday I was celebrating my 18th birthday *cue memories of my bestie and I smuggling a large bottle of Lambrini into a club, at some point during the night getting 'accidentally' punched in the head, getting tear-gassed out of the club, then stumbling around Canning Town in the freezing cold looking for a cab* sooo apparently there's been a 5 year lapse since that

This is Molly, she's 16, she's my blog helper, roll deeper, confidante, best friend, worst enemy and little sister. I forced her into letting me take a few shots of her in the shorts from the post below so you could see how good they look and therefore attempt a pair of your own! Where was I when God and my mum were deciding who got the skinny, long-limb, gorgeous face genes?! No

I got a few people asking for a tutorial on the shorts in my last post so I thought I'd oblige and document the process when I put together a pair for my sister. Now before I get stuck in lets be clear that my pattern work is all self-taught, so if you see anything weird just keep it to yourself because I don't care! what you'll need: pattern paper, leather, pencil, measuring tape, elastic,

My trial separation from le blog has been greatly enjoyed but fortunately, or unfortunately depending on how you look at it, it hasn't been great enough for me to sever all ties and run off into the sunset with my tumblr. I spent most of my time away from here doing other important stuff like watching every TwerkTeam video in existence, stalking my fave blogs, drinking rosé, growing my hair and

How happy am I for being introduced to the new-ish online wonderland Agnes&Lola?! It's a boutique that houses 12 designers who are all 'inspired by the unique nature of African feminine style', and incorporate said ethos into their designs. I highly recommend you check it out if you're into tailoring and African prints!

If you're in London and you have half an hour to spare head down to Gimpel Fils on Davies Street for the Corinne Day exhibit they've got up. I'm usually drawn to flashy, obnoxious photography but the frankness of Corinne's work blows me away, she captured the honest, unassuming purity of youth so beautifully.it's over in 5 days so make sure you go!! x

I absolutely envy anyone who gets to experience Fashion Week as a carefree spectator because the stress that goes with fashion assistant duties during the supposed 'Fashion Olympics' (making schedules, confirming tickets, travel plans, hotel rooms and chauffeured cars etc.) allows the least amount of enjoyment! While in reality I'm running around getting on with general lackey duties, in my head

I have a real hankering for super-short runner shorts right now, and the fact that I want them in leathers, silks and crepes rather than the sporting materials they only seem to exist in is really not a problem at all because I'm on a mission to make my own. After watching Dogtown & Z-Boys for the twenty-millionth time (and wondering for the fifty-millionth time how to time-travel and groupie it

I didn't take any good pictures whilst doing this D.I.Y but I think it's pretty self-explanatory.all you need is a maxi dress you loathe and an hour of free time.-put the dress on and mark a point about 1.5" below your boobs-unpick the side seams to the point you marked-out the dress on again and tie a big knot first in the front, then another in the back-take dress off, pin the seams back

I'm one of those people who doesn't give a fudge about giving a fudge, so being as lazy as I am I find myself wearing simple ensembles and strategically adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing accessories to make my

I have no experience working with chains and thangs, and I'm severely lacking in patience and concentration but I sat down a few days ago with 5metres of chain and 200 jump rings and went to work on my own body chain. With the help of a pair of scissors and a pair of pliers it took me about 2 hours and 3 false starts to get it to where i wanted! I measured around myself then freestyled it with

I haven't been shopping at all recently and it shows but I do not care in the slightest, my closet's like a pool of custard and I'm having fun wading through it! I found this blazer hidden under a tonne of other stuff on a hanger and I felt horrible, what kind of a person shuns pretty second-hand finds like this?!

I've been real busy not giving a poo about anything non-medication related recently so please excuse me for the lack of posts. Adding to my long list of ailments, I caught a bad case of the shingles and have been scratching my back, legs and scalp, morning, noon and night. Also had a mishap involving my sister and some clippers-I asked her to help me trim my hair she nodded and smiled then left

I'm not really the pencil skirt type but the night before my girl's engagement party a few weeks ago I realised I didn't have enough time to finish the dress I'd already began making and promptly turned it into a skirt. It was so horribly finished and it ripped midway through the night but I didn't wana throw it out because I know she went all the way to Nigeria to pick out Ankara for all of her

I self-medicate with clothing sometimes, as superficial as it may sound the texture or colour of a piece of clothing can sometimes have a profound effect on my state of mind. I've been really confused, contemplative and distracted since my friend's wedding this past weekend.. what flavour should the cake be at my wedding? why am I a spinster at 22? will Don Draper accept my marriage proposal? if

Forgive me if you've seen me traipsing around Gloucester Place, Portland Place and the wider Oxford circus area in general looking like one of the living dead, my life has been the definition of stressed, pressed and oppressed for the past few weeks. I've been working my bum off and it's slowly causing me to look like the deformed, midget snitch from 300 (..yeah, the ugly fucker that wasn't

I got the idea to do this a long time ago after I saw something similar on this lovely tumblr ( I'm either crazy, a liar or homegirl deleted all evidence of it :-/ ..totes the latter). I actually put this DIY off for a long time just because I wasn't sure if I could pull it off, and if I'm honest I was also really sceptical about buying crystals off ebay but I'm HAPPY with the outcome and I think

As per usual summer in London is turning out to be a washout and for once this really pleases my soul because I get to wear baggy clothes and hide the fact that I've put on what feels like a tonne of weight since March.. I only have myself to blame because as it happens I wore this to a feast for two with my mumma last week, she bought me the most amazing lamb-shank my taste buds have ever known!

It's hard not to compile a mass post of images when collection time comes around, lucky for you I've exercised some restraint and picked my fave resort collections for you to digest, mmkay..

I'm a little bit obsessed with peach silk at the moment, I'm usually not the biggest fan of silk because it's such a nuisance, but I walked into the fabric shop the other day and fell in love with the peachy silk I ended up using for the skirt below, I'm planning on getting some more for an outfit for my bestie's wedding in July!!

Yay for all these silly little DIYs I busy myself with all the time, like these wedges that I bought out of boredom and pizzazed-up with some leopard print fabric (literally stuck the fabric on the wedges with superglue). First wear of the summer for the wedges and umpteenth wear of this denim on denim combo.. I'm so uninspired right now, all I want to wear is a white t-shirt with some skinnies

I have to be honest, the Glamour Women Of The Year awards boggle my mind a little, what exactly is the winning criteria? what does one have to do to qualify as the woman of the year in her chosen field? Is it about getting the most exposure? Getting the fattest cheque? or maybe being the chic-est whilst doing your job? I really don't get it, but you know what? It's not for me to 'get' or to

After a few years spent chilling in my closet, I finally decided to put this jacket to use and wear it out yesterday.. it's one of those things I always reach for but never commit to wearing because it's a touch too showy for me, but I figured I'd just throw it on top of a super basic outfit and pretend it's perfectly normal to walk around in a gold lamé jacket. I've decided I like it enough not

I woke up on saturday morning to see a package at the foot of my bed from the lovely babes at Motel and to say I was excited is an understatement! I literally threw off my pyjamas and stood in front of every mirror I own admiring the fit of these trousers!! Although I have an entire closet full of their dresses, I've been a bit dubious about getting trousers from Motel in the past because I have

As I was reviewing and photographing the Tracy Emin retrospective for work yesterday, a guard came up to me and told me I looked pretty so I smiled and thanked him, but as I walked away he whispered after me "yuh body look ripe yanuh".. I can't even describe to you the disbelief and anger that coursed through me, do I punch him or do I pick up a plank of wood from this installation and knock him

I first saw this DIY on A Pair and A Spare, and was originally going to try it that way buy I'm way too fidgety to be able to wear an unsecured piece of fabric and not end up pulling it down accidentally, leaving myself naked. I pulled out a scrap of jersey I had and kind of reworked the DIY in my own way.. I made 1 simple tube and another also a simple tube just twisted twice before sewing (

I literally jumped at the chance to wear this furry delight today, been thinking a lot about all the things I miss about autumn and the biggest thing is fur, so thanks crazy, attention-seeking, Icelandic volcano for messing with the atmosphere and giving me a legit reason to wear fur in the summer! I did actually have a leather jacket on to stave off the wind but I got brave and took it off as

Honestly speaking, ask me who runs this mother? and I'll say JESUS because in my life that is indeed who runs things.. BUT ask me that question when 90% of my stomach contents are comprised of Dom Perignon brut and I'll probably say Beyonce then launch into a rendition of her greatest hits, dating back to No No No.. complete with choreography of course. The merest mention of her name reduces me

So it's the beginning of this supposed great British summer and I'm wearing denim on denim, with a heavy knit thrown over the top!? yep, looks like we're back to winter in the middle of summer again.. Currently obsessed with lilac nail varnish (Barry M) and these satin mary-janes that make me feel gentle and ladylike! sorry I forgot to comb my hair, brush my eyebrows and put on mascara.. really

Do you ever feel like the synapses in your head are all shooting opposing messages through your brain to purposely distract you from doing the things you're supposed to be doing?! no? just me? okay.Take for instance this week, how apt that I became obsessed with chocolate milkshakes (mana from Heaven I swear) the same week I decided to start working out again ?_?.. why does my mind hate me?!

Okay so for a while now my secret pet peeve has been maxi-everything, skirts, dresses etc. I love them on other people but I hate them on myself, instead of making me long and slender, they make me look wider and stumpier than I actually am. I didn't wanna wear anything too restrictive today so decided to hitch my black maxi skirt up, take it in at the waist and knot it in the front! I'm having a

Feeling a bit preppy today, so I added my dirty old converse and a tartan blazer (I got from my second hand spot a few months ago for £1.50 muaaahahahaha...mu) to my Sunday go-to outfit of jeans and oversized t-shirt. The simpler the outfit the less potential there is for me to offend my fellow parishioners when i'm wilin' out at the altar.. aaaand it helps to hide the bloat after my customary

I hope everyone's having a good Happy-Birthday-Audrey-Hepburn-week? After watching Breakfast At Tiffany's for the fifth time this week (millionth time since birth), I've decided to find the Holly Golightly within and stop being a messy bizzatch. So in the name of chasing a cleaner aesthetic, I spent my day looking simple, ladylike and un-hefty-this was until I sat down in the bank and realised

As some of you might remember I popped up on posters in tube stations all over central London a few months ago doing my best possessed-face as one of the models in the New Look denim campaign! The entire thing came as a complete surprise to me, not just because I'm a chubster with a pressed face but because it was actually my boss's business associate Leith Clark (whom I'd only met once at the

I love to get dressed up to go to the most mundane places, I throw on a Jacques Vert blazer (of which I have a growing collection!), some ruby-woo, a pair of heels and Sainsbury's turns into Nobu Berkley.. okay maybe it doesn't, but it helped to erase from my mind the fact that I spent yesterday eating hobnobs in my pyjamas!

Happy belated Easter to one and all!!I hope you all had a fun and fulfilling time celebrating the risen king? Like most good South Africans do on a bank holiday, I ate beef and boerwors (dont ask) and drank beer. I had such a relaxing time with the family, even the fact that I fell bum first into a thorny rose bush couldn't stop me.. until this morning when I realised there are tiny punctures and

PROM, the very mention of this word sends me into violent fits of nausea and uncontrollable weeping. 6years ago I went to my prom in a tight, red Nicole Farhi dress with gold shoes from Kurt Geiger and matching gold accessories, I topped this off with a burgundy weave and red lip gloss (I looked like a yardy baby-prostitute). I'll never be able to get over the fact that I let myself be

A few months ago I sat down in church and spent a 2hour service begging God not to allow me to follow the voice in my head that was telling me to shimmy out of my seat, lay face down in the centre aisle, slowly roll myself down it and out of the front door. Needless to say, I haven't been involved in any rollin' or tokin' since then, and therefore did not partake in any of the 4/20 festivities

I had a little time to indulge in some DIY shenanigans over the weekend so I pulled out the 6metres of top quality cream leather (I also have 8metres in metallic blue)that's been sitting in my wardrobe of years now, and decided to make something. True to form I got lazy midway through making a pattern for the leather pants I was initially creating, and instead made a simple brown paper bag! I'm

Most mornings I wake up feeling like Beyonce but this morning I got up looked at the hair I freshly bleached while half asleep last night -serious super fail- and felt like one of the Golden Girls. So with absolutely no shame in my Betty White game I walked around my little essex town looking like a Jacques Vert advert! I cannot reiterate enough how much having hair has changed my perspective on

I'm pretty sure my decision to grow my hair out directly correlates with my more gentlewomanly approach to dressing, but gentlewoman or not I'm still finding it hard to completely drop my fake tomboy steez so babysteps and small compromises it is. Take today for instance, I decided to lean like a Chola but I wore these forest green satin mary-janes in place of my beat up converse and I felt like

I saw this on Style Scrapbook a few days ago and as a result I'm now obsessed with turning every bit of leather I own into a frigging clutch! I used left over bits of vinyl I found in my neighbour's shed (didn't steal them honest) to make this and the red clutch in the post below...

Bonjour mesdames et messieurs! I've been trying to find a happy medium with the onset of this 'almost-spring' weather and frankly I'm finding it hard to deal with so, I'm pretty much living in Uniqlo denim, t-shirts and flats.

Liu Wen looks friggin gorgeous in this editorial for Vogue China! I love the pastels and how all the chunky gold jewels add an early 90's feel to the spread, I'm actually a little surprised they didn't pull anything form Alexander Wang's SS11 collection, I think the mint pieces he sent down the catwalk would've been perfect for this spread but what do I know right?

The eternal British-weather enthusiast in me will never be subdued, so far we've only had two full days of sunny weather and I'm already munching on solero's, and eyeing up anything and everything with a little colour on it, that might help me overcome my colour-phobia before the full onset of the great British summer.

It's getting a little bit brighter, but the weather's still disappointing for this time of year, nevertheless every time a complaint attempts to leave my mouth I have to remind myself how blessed I am that all we're suffering from in England right now is measly drizzle.. and that said drizzle wont carry my home and loved ones away. With that in mind, a day I'd have called mundane a week ago, I

I just checked out Steedlord's new video '123 If You Want Me', the styling in the shots with Sonya turban swagging on us all are amazing, for the simple-yet very effective-use of colour.. outside it's horrible and gloomy but in my head it's all pastely, like a nice, gentle medley of the salmony pink and powdery-blue!

I'm not completely sold on the editorial but with a face and body like that, I'm not surprised the Bajan bombshell got tapped for the cover of the 'Shape Issue' of American Vogue, say what you will about her but the one thing you cannot deny is that Rihanna has one of the most envied bodies right now.. I see no real cohesion in the shots but what do you guys think? is it good, bad or average?x

just as I was starting to get excited about the sunny weather the rain came and washed all signs of spring away, so back I go to my uniform of grey and black.

It's testament to my lack of sanity that I left my house and trekked halfway across London in this drizzly weather, in a pair of leather hotpants. After one man directed me to the bus stop (situated in his bedroom), and another stalked me round the scary backroads of Croydon, I realised that maybe things need to change on my part.. a 'dress as you'd like to be addressed' kind of thing..

With all the hoopla that's been going down in Paris over the past week, I stopped looking out for the shows and followed the gossip instead.. but I've whittled down my faves in order of LOVE Prada it's weird how cohesive the collection is considering Miuccia's main reference points are '80's power-dressing' and 50's elegance.. LOVE everything from the top-heavy silhouettes to the A-line fur

Spring is right around the corner so before it truly takes hold, I'm taking it upon myself to slowly incorporate more colour into my wardrobe. My hatred for structure and colour is unfortunate and if left untreated will lead to my demise.. my strategy to phasing out the excessive amount of black and grey in my life is to wear an obnoxiously bright item of clothing every couple of days BY FORCE!

I'm a little bit ashamed that my favourite song of Biggie's isn't some obscure, demo, b-side affair that only myself and the studio engineer know the real lyrics to, but I'm not cool like that so Big Poppa gets my vote for best Biggie song ever ..YAY!R.I.P x

I think it's a major accomplishment if I'm awake, bathed, fed and dressed by 11am on a Saturday morning. So I'm currently giving myself a pat on the back for getting my shit together this morning, if I'm needed I'll be found reading the new issue of Lurve in my reading corner.. yes the corner where I hoard all the copies of Vogue, Teen Vogue, Purple, V, 10, Numero, Love, Pop etc, that have

my MFW could easily stand for Milan Fashion Week but it doesn't, in this case the moniker stands for Marni For (silent The) Win!! I'm sure you'll agree with me when I say that Milan is the place where Gentlewomen are most successful at maintaining their sexy, there's a classy, sexy, money energy milling in the air over there that I need to get involved in ASAP, which brings me round to my point

one of the last remaining movie stars from the Golden Age of cinema has left us and gone to Hollywood Heaven, where you sleep on silk sheets and under fur throws, diamonds hang from your chandeliers, you're ferried around in a black chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce, you gargle with Dom Perignon and you do lunch with Lauren, Katherine, Lana and Marilyn.. x

I remember reading an interview a few months ago that Detmar Blow gave about the about the troubled relationship between his late wife Isabella and Lee McQueen, the abandonment, the depression, the waning recognition for her ability to spot mayjaaah talent etc, I found it strange that even though he's married with a son and has seemingly moved on with his life he was still speaking about a

I had the pleasure of attending a seminar held by the wonderful people at Fashion Workroom, which is a non-profit run by Ola Akinlade. The organisation is focused "providing inspiration and motivation for young people through fashion". It was a really great evening, I got to meet the beauty behind Glutton for Grandeur who was a vision in a chic Audrey Hepburn-esque ensemble (forgot to take a

Finally getting round to posting my LFW round up, as usual I figure better late than never considering it's a couple of days late and my fingers are eagerly awaiting their chance to type about all things Milan! Without overstating it's importance, I have to say Fashion Week is a magical period in time, and you don't get the same buzz off a style.com gallery as you do witnessing a show in person,

Ohh Ajak Deng, aside from being one of very few recognisable models of colour doing it big on the catwalks this season(and the past three), she's also the inspiration behind my decision to finally go blonde, and to be fairly honest I'm quite miffed that she went back to black for LFW.. anyhow these polaroids of her completely sold me on the whole blonde thing..

My tendency to act as some sort of life coach on this blog is ridiculous, I'm sure without a shadow of a doubt that when 30 hits, and my 20's are officially over, I'll look back at this and laugh with derision. Nevertheless the things I type are the result of mini lessons I'm learning along the way, so please continue to humour me ..and perhaps yourselves? ( :-[ ) Back to the matter at hand

We're hardly halfway through this winter and we're already getting indications of what we need for the next, which really excites me because the pretty, brights of the Pre-Fall 2011 collections are helping me forget the steady drizzle of rain outside. Trend-wise I'm thinking the future's bright.. the future's pink! Before I talk about my loves, I have to mention Simone Rocha's S/S 11 collection

I've recently been spending alot of time meditating over purpose and how I'm supposed to go about fulfilling mine now that I'm a gentlewoman. After all the craziness and New Year hype, I think sometimes you can go through a momentum-dip when you lose focus of all the little things because all the big things you're trying to achieve start to look insurmountable.. Dreaming big is scary when you

I love shopping as much as the next person, but monetarily and emotionally it's revealed itself to be a habit i simply CANNOT afford to indulge anymore. I decided to forgo the big sales shop this season, after last year's trips left me wasteful, unappreciative and majorly depressed about my Christmas weight (bka the baby-weight I've yet to drop despite being 22 o_O).. okay so I say forgo, and

I imagine going to gigs is harder for Londoners than most people in other metropoli because of London's size, we get so excited for US acts, everyone who thinks they're someone rocks up dressed to the nines, pretending not to know that the next 2hours of their lives will result in profuse sweating due to the inevitable overexertion of 'hip hop hand', therefore ruining their garms.I had the worst

Despite all the hoopla surrounding Vintage clothing, I've never actually been sold on it. Unlike most, I don't like shopping enough to force myself to poke round a tiny smelly shop for an hour in search of old moth-eaten clothes. I'm too lazy and fragile for the rummage, scrummage and eventual realisation that people with hips were shunned in the 20's-which happens to be my vinny decade of choice

My wonderful friend, designer behind Cut and Swallow, Danielle Scott-Haughton recently created a capsule collection in collaboration with men's sportswear brand BoxFresh, and Mz Bratt as the face of the campaign. The idea was to take a few items from BoxFresh's denim line, re-work them into feminine pieces.. I had so much fun styling the shoot, and hanging out with everyone, it's amazing to see

I've had some really great me-time this week, trying to evaluate what I actually want and how I'm gonna get it. I love working in le fashion yahh, but the moment something starts to destroy your soul you better pray for the discernment to run/ jog/ walk away from that situation ..because it is NEVER EVER that serious..so after much thought, meditation and prayer, I've decided I want to be **drum

There's a point in the British summer when we all collectively pack away our batty-riders, belly tops and barbecues. We give up the pretence and accept that fact that a blistering hot summer is not our portion from GOD.. it never has been and it never will be.it's at this point that you have to decide what to do with your life for the next 9months (you know before 'summer' comes round and you can

I am the most ridiculous person on the face of this earth.like i said a couple of posts ago, I've been feeling very young (read: childish) recentlythe problem with this resurgence of youth is that i'm actually an adult now and should probably be a bit more alarmed that my life closely resembles that of a 13year old because being that i am indeed an adult, i'm trusted with the responsibility to
