The Attack of the Printed Pants
Bold colours and prints might seem a little intimidating at first, but if you have the confidence to pull it off, we say go for it! Let me be totally honest now…do I own a pair of printed pants? Absolutely…NO! Not one single piece, nada. Never had the guts to get the look right and [...]
Denim + Leather

White Tops and Bright Bottoms
If there’s one type of item that’s one too many in my wardrobe, it’s got to be white blouses. T-shirts, tank tops, shirts, off-shoulders—you name it, I’ve got them all! I’ve so many that sometimes I find it difficult to find a specific top in a whole mountain of many. Plain white ones are such [...]

Scallop Trim, Anyone?
The first time I laid eyes on a scalloped piece, it was actually a vintage blouse; all feminine and pretty. Scallop collared blouses were big back then and everyone had to have at least one in their closets. After doing some research about this trend, clever nettle mentioned that: “Scalloped hemlines were also popular in [...]

Sexy Skin Tone Shoes Are The Way To Go
A couple of months ago, I managed to snag a pair of nude pumps from Aldo at 30% off and boy oh boy, I felt like I was on cloud nine! They were the perfect nude for my NC42 skin and not all nude shoes suit every skin tone, mind you. The ones I purchased [...]

It’s all about colour, colour and more colour that will brighten up any dull day! Personally, the best thing about these babies is the fact that they can jazz up [...]
How about trying a new outfit without taking off the one underneath?
Just the other day, my friend Wyne and I were we talking about trying on clothes in cold countries. While studying in New Zealand, my petite little friend couldn’t take the cold weather and used to layer up in long johns and whatnots. And of course the inevitable question followed: “How did you try on [...]
