Celebrating Women's Day with my favourite women in Fashion!!!

The Magazine Maven: Anna Wintour

Anna Wintour wields considerable influence over American fashion. Runway shows don't start until she arrives. Designers succeed because she anoints them. Trends are created or crippled on her command. But Anna Wintour, editor in chief of Vogue, says she is determined to use her power for good, not evil. Despite her reputation for being icy and inscrutable, despite the severe perfection of her hairstyle and wardrobe, Wintour has taken it upon herself to act as something of a den mother to fledgling designers and worthy causes.

The Fashion Doctor: Dr. Precious Moloi-Motsepe


The brains behind the African Fashion International (AFI) group, Dr Moloi-Motsepe successfully converted a talent for medicine to a talent for nurturing young fashion innovators. Under the group�s patronage, several South Africans designers have had a chance to showcase their works at Paris Fashion Week, and of course, Africa Fashion Week, which is an AFI event. As chairperson of AFI, she has given a very welcome platform to fashion designers from all over Africa. Noted for wanting to create employment and opportunities, this dynamo businesswoman is well on her way to seeing her dream of transforming the fashion retail industry become a reality.

The Designer we all love: Donna Karan

This New York native launched her own label to great acclaim, winning the hearts of working women with her streamlined, sexy suits. Donna Karan creates clothes for all women. I love her design style.

The Model turned Mogul: Kimora Lee Simmons Hounsou

The talented designer is credited with inspiring a new generation of consumers with her glamorous, sexy, over-the-top style which has catapulted her clothing label Baby Phat by Kimora Lee Simmons into an enormous success. Kimora's influence in the world of fashion is undeniable while her savvy as a businesswoman has made this former runway model a worldwide brand phenomenon. With an unrivaled universal appeal, Kimora is the only multi ethnic woman to have a successful fashion empire, with brands ranging from high-end merchandise like her KLS collection, to Shinto Clinical which are a range of luxe skincare products.

The woman who turned Plaid into Profits: Rose Marie Bravo

Since being named chief executive of British design house, Burberry, Rose Marie Bravo has convinced the style elite that the dormant, 148-year-old brand � with its placid beige plaid, which had been spotted, if it was noticed at all, lining the raincoats on markdown racks � not only is no longer a fashion anathema but is in fact a status symbol. Her feat has more than doubled the company's sales, turning it from a $470 million-a-year enterprise to a $1 billion behemoth.

Happy Women's Day to you all!

How to wear the Aviator Jacket

Now if you follow this blog, you would've seen my previous blog on Winter Trends for 2011. And one of the trends I liked the most was the aviator jacket. It's just so hot, and I absolutely love what Burberry has done for the military chic look.

Its easy to go out and buy an Aviator Jacket, but do you know how to wear it? I see it everyday, people having some gorgeous fashion pieces but not knowing how to put them together to achieve a chic look. So, if you need the help, here are a few ways I think the Aviator Jacket should be worn.

Aviator Jacket: Look 1
This is a very casual look. Although I do feel it shouldn't be limited to just day wear. You can wear it at night. I love the knit dress, and the rusty colour palette. You'll also notice that the dress isn't too tight, it just skims the model's body. Don't wear anything too tight with this jacket.

Aviator Jacket: Look 2
This is another casual look. I love the pop of colour from the tangerine sweater. The legging cargo's are also pretty cool. It's a great day look.

Aviator Jacket: Look 3

I love the shorts look. I like that you can choose how short you want your shorts. Its great if you are a student or if you are going for a laid back look. This look just screams comfort to me!

Aviator Jacket: Look 4
 I layered a tank top, knitted sweater, and the jacket to add a bit of texture. And the dark denims are great if you are going from day to night, as they are less casual than a light wash. And the floral bag is lovely, soft, feminine touch.

Aviator Jacket: Look 5
This is another layered look. Most people don't wear brown & black together, but I say 'If you do it properly, it will look fab!' And I do think this looks good. I think the peach flowers in the dress, & the scarf bring the brown & black together.

I hope this was helpful to you. And if you have any requests for other looks you would like to see, let me know via my email address or the Contact page.

Hiking Boot Trend this Winter

Who knew hiking boots weren�t made for hiking. This winter, the hiking boot has gone from functional footwear for the outdoor enthusiast to deliciously trendy women�s fashion bordering on fashionably ridiculous. Who knew  brass d-rings,speed-hook lacing, cushioned heel cuffs, and rubber tooth-bottomed heels could be so fashionable? These shoes prove that all girls can hike in heels!


Here are some of the juiciest hiking boots I've seen so far :)

??

This pair is by Burberry. I love the shearling inner.

??

Loving this platform, grip sole boot. Fab colour!

This is a gorgeous black suede boot that I found on Amazon.
Love the lace-up detail.

This is by DSquared. And can you say fabulous!!
Studs, shearling & lace-up detailing :) Love it!

I love this Kelsi Dagger boot. The peep-toe is fab!!

This chunky heel with grip sole is great for those ladies
who aren't into wearing skyscraper heels.

I love this fur-lined boot by Sam Edelman.

These are my absolute favourites. I would kill for a pair of these
 DSquared shearling lined boots. They're so sexy!
