Loving Lara Bohinc!!!

I'm really doubting my magazine reading skills right now lol. Designer Lara Bohinc has been featured in my favourite magazines on numerous occasions, & I am only seeing her work now! Originally a jewellery designer, Lara decided to branch out into shoes. Basing her first shoe collection on her unique jewellery.



I absolutely love her work, both jewellery & shoes. She uses materials such as leather, suede, & python. And who doesn't love them some 11cm heels!! Lara Bohinc is truly a multi-talented designer.

One Fine Sunday

After a busy week, what could be better than a very chilled Sunday afternoon accompanied by some nice jazzy tunes.
LOLA, one of my favorite pop jazz band who performed at Sunday Jazz Bandung. I think they are really passionate into music and you can just feel it while watching them play.


Listen to more of their music here and follow them on Twitter.

Marchesa Playboy Bunny Costume Design*

If you saw my previous post on Marchesa releasing the sketch of what they had planned for the iconic Playboy Bunny costume, I can imagine you were just as excited to see the real thing. Well here it is! And might I add, I am not at all disappointed. The ccreation of  Georgina Chapman & Keren Craig was debuted at London's Playboy Club. I love the lace & beading on this strapless bodysuit. It really adds some dimension & drama to it. The outfit will be auctioned off for charity later this year.




So what do you think of the final product? Please do comment below & let me know.

Wooden watches??? Yes Please*

My boyfriend was quite excited about a website with wooden watches.  I saw the website & I was quite impressed. The watches don't really even look wooden. Its quite cool. He ordered his watch, & it arrived a day later (free delivery in South Africa). The picture did not do it justice. It's even better in reality. And so lightweight! Its like you are wearing nothing.

This is the watch my boyfriend purchased.


What's even better about WeWood is that they plant a tree for every watch purchased. So you will be doing your bit for the environment too. Considering the fact that it cost only R950, & the fact that its Eco-friendly, I think all you guys should get yourself one.

CreateShake: Wedding Dress Designer APP

OK so we know I love playing with any app that is fun, girly, & has anything to do with fashion. This app is fab. I love love love it. I only discovered it a few days ago, so I'm still just getting used to it, but it is quite straight forward. You are creating a wedding dress, complete with the backdrop, and flowers. Its really fun, and for soon-to-be brides out there, it might be a fun way to play around with dress ideas.

Here are some of the dresses i have created.







After loving this app so much, I wanted to see what other app the creators have created. I found the CreateShake: Wedding Cake app. Yes, not so much fashion, but still fun :)





These Apps are available on iTunes for iPhone/iPod Touch. Have fun, & don't forget to follow this blog with the Google 'Follow' button or via Bloglovin', all in the right sidebar of the blog. xoxo

SUMMERTIME & Im very jealous!

I am so jealous of the Northern Hemisphere right now. Everywhere I turn  i see something to do with Summer. On my favourite blogs. In the magazines ( Vogue UK, Harper's Bazaar) I read. The online shops I visit. Everywhere! It's silly really, because I know our Summer here in South Africa is only months away, but it still I cant help this feeling. Anyway, I thought Id post some great Spring/Summer inspired pictures for all of my friends & followers up North. Enjoy your Summer friends!






Hope you all have a fabulous Summer. And If you aren't following this blog, please do so via Google connect or Bloglovin' located on the right of the blog. xoxo
