The way to my heart is paved with sunglasses galore. This image taken by Hannan Saleh in New York encapsulates the vibe they can give an outfit. Such a sunny feel to an outfit. Eyewear me love you long time.
Style Inspiration | Zoë Kravitz
There is a 60s/70s feel to this outfit on Zoë Kravitz. Designed by Danielle Frankel, it calls to mind style icons of eras past. Think Donyale Luna, Edie Sedgwick, Jane Birkin and more. Worn to her wedding rehearsal dinner, the satin bra top and cycling shorts under the beaded sheath was so fresh, something about it felt really new. The part bohemian actress totally created a look that is going to inspire for decades to come. This outfit goes into the hall of fame of style moments.
Brand | Halpern
I'm obsessed about Halpern. It is the colours, it’s the embellishments. It is the college of fabrics put together. Love the 70s feel to it all. Never met a piece of Halpern that I did not like. Such a collectible brand. There is something special about Halpern.
Red Carpet Style | Cynthia Erivo
In a sequin Thom Browne dress that took 800 hours to create and a Bulgari necklace worth 3 million, Actres Cynthia is in a style league of her own. It is something about how she chooses to wear her hair. It is something about the strength she exudes. It is something about her quiet elegance. There is something about Cynthia. Look styled by James Bolden.

Style Diary | East London
I like a well layered outfit and here i’m wearing two skirts with a top and fauz fur stole. The backdrop is the beloved East London. The hat was just to throw in further texture, for a £1 from Pound land, it is not too bad.
Lust List | 2 Vain Girls Dress
It is all about the midi dress. It is the piece commanding attention. Both the streetstyle influencers and the catwalk point to it being a must have. The best thing about this length is that it is a classic elegant cut that will always come back in fashion.

A mettalic blue with pleats, the short sleeve piece has a white collar that is demure enough for the day but dressy enough for night wear. Run don’t walk to shop from the site which launched today.

What can I say that hasn’t been said before. Bonang is class. It is the way she carries herself, it is her innate glamour, it is the way she wears her clothes. This gown, the bag, the stole (hopefully fake fur) come together seamlessly. This is pure Hollywood glamour, this is red carpet, this is Bonang.

Trend | Midi Skirts
Image from Net A Porter
Midi skirts are the must have piece. They can be an unflattering cut but styled right they have an elegance about them that is hard to match. Their cut is timeless and season after season we see them come back into fashion. Invest in a midi skirt to suit you. For the bold try a print or bolt of color. If unsure stick to hues such as black, grey or champagne. For the petite pair with a heel as the length of the midi can shorten legs. Take inspiration from the image above. Isn’t the utilitarian look refreshing? I’m inspired that the humble midi skirt can inspire in more ways than one.
My Style | Leather
There is nothing like a pair of leather pants or in this case, a pair of faux leather pants. Here I threw in a bowtie for good measure. The jacket with a wide belt over it just made sense. Missing these boots.
This reversible coat with faux fur lapel is the current crush. Zara get ten out of ten for giving you two coats for the price of one. Run, don’t walk to snap it up here
Beauty Counter | Fenty Lipstick
Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty range had me at hello. The packaging, the design, the whole approach. Don't fail to add the bad ass hues and colours available. I wouldn’t mind trying ‘Uncensored' lip paint. Perfect for adding a bit of glamour to your day. Shop it here.
