Downtown in Chinatown for the year of the Dragon

This past weekend the Chinese Community of Johannesburg came together to celebrate their new year, the year of the Dragon. There was a wonderful festival happening down town in Commsioner stree, in old China town.

I went with a few friends to take part in the festivities, and all though our wish latern didn’t take off to the sky  and my ears were still buzzing from crackers and fireworks this morning, we had a fantastic time! If you missed it this year, be sure to go next year and remember to book at one of the few restaurants to guarantee some delicious Chinese treats!

Jazz age // Alberta Ferretti // Pre-fall 2012

The return of the Jazz Age is upon us. Having seen only a few collections of pre fall 2012 there is one clear trend, that of the 1920's.
I absolutely loved this collection by Alberta Ferretti and thought I'd really try and create a 1920's ambience with these collages.

Giambattista Valli // Pre-Fall 2012

Simply elegant is what comes to mind upon first glance at this pre-fall collection. Filled with rich colours and splashes, if not pure solid, red the looks are hypnotically beautiful. The print on print, fur dresses, satin wedged heels and polka dotted stocking are what fashion dreams are made of.
