Winter Is Coming; The Boots.
In this round of Winter is Coming, I’m talking boots for all and sundry. I love Autumn Winter dressing, not so much the biting temperatures and slush and aftermath of a beautiful snowstorm that forces us into ugly attire, but the kind of temperatures we are having now, the cooler temps, dry days that still…

Leather-Pleather.
This is a lovely bag. Lovely shape and colour. You can either carry it as a shoulder bag or a clutch, if your fold the base at the markings. I appreciate the subtle detail that has gone into the design of the bag, its grey, gold hardware accents and a strap that’s it. Inside is…

Brunch; The Sweater Dress
Without a doubt one of life’s greatest inventions is the Sweater dress. Yes, Life’s not just Fashion because a sweater dress is not a trend, its a staple. You can’t go wrong with it. Its the go to, throw on and go piece that leaves little room for doubt or discomfort. One failsafe piece. This…

NYFW SS14 Best In Show- Michael Kors
This round of New York Fashion Week has been pretty savvy, if a little disjointed without one overarching movement or theme on play, the variety worked for me; common sense with a dose of fun and functionality was mostly on display. My favourite shoe was Michael Kors. In fashion, especially during Fashion Week, rarely do…

NYFW Day 7. Technical Evolution and Sweet Colours.
Proenza Schouler. My only critic of this collection would be that it felt more Autumn than Spring- Summer especially with the outerwear, besides that this was up the usual distinguished standard that the boys have set and we have come to expect from them. Panelling, high waists, wide hems and a softened severe feel. Love…
