Coffee Date || Look

The best part about being in the entertainment industry is that whenever I'm not on set, (Or writing a blog post), I can plan to meet up with friends. I love meeting new people and making new friends. Which brings me to our coffee date with talented photographer Tegan Smith.

I've known Tegan through social media, as she is the personal photographer for Baked The Blog. I have always been a fan of their work and absolutely loved the collaboration. Meeting Tegan for the first time was pretty unexpected. I basically dropped her a message about meeting up for coffee when she visited Johannesburg, and the rest was history.

Being someone who's fairly new to blogging, in comparison with people who have been doing this for 7 years and over, it was good getting some advice and tips about whats acceptable by bloggers and what's not. It's also a bonus when you can take pictures of your food before you eat it, without the person your having it with, thinking your weird.

Which now brings me to this look post. I love dressing up, even if its just to the mall for a quick coffee date. Tegan had her camera with her (Ofcourse) and with her eye for fashion, took a couple quick snaps for me. Yay!

I loved sharing whats the go-to places here in Joburg, and in turn she promised she'd show me all the awesome places to visit in Cape Town when I visit for the first time. 

My Look:

Woolworths scarf

Edgars black cotton top

Shorts bought at China Mall

Edgars knee high shocks

Aldo Shoes

Louis Vuitton sling bag

Thanks for stopping by :)

Until the next post...

Miss Boss Couture Winter Preview Launch || Event

Greeted by glasses of champagne, Miss Boss Couture took their preview evening to an entirely different level. I was really excited to view their winter corporate wear. Its always so difficult to decide what to wear when its so cold outside. Especially while trying to stay fashionable but extremely warm at the same time.

One of my favourite things about this brand is that it is tailor made to fit your body, regardless of shape or size. Its always difficult to find things my size because I'm so tiny. They also offer a variety of signature pieces that can be paired with different outfits.

My highlight of this evening had to definitely be this pleather peplum belt. It can be worn with a dress or jeans to turn your favourite dress into a peplum dress of your favourite top into a peplum top. One of the best parts is that its pleather, so it gives any look a bit of an edge to it.

Owner of Miss Boss Couture, Stacy Tobin, has an eye for fashion. Who says Carrie Bradshaw's style was not affordable? This stunning blue ombre skirt was originally made in white, and then dip dyed to follow the latest fashion trend of ombre/sombre items. If I was living in New York it would be a must have.

So my look for the night was edgy corporate. I tried to go with neutral colours and then use this turquoise Miss Boss Couture corset to add colour to my outfit. (This corset was made for my cousins wedding. This was part of a two piece maid-of-honur dress. It's so versatile that I get to wear both pieces individually)

My Look:

Mat & May Hat

Zuri Earrings and Cuff

Miss Boss Couture Corset

Lee Cooper dyed jeans

Aldo shoes

Polo handbag

Mr Price Blazer
