SA Trend Wishlist
I read many fashion blogs and websites and most of these are based in the Northern Hemisphere. Because of this I am exposed to trends for seasons that must still reach South Africa. I am not one to follow each and every trend but certain trends appeal to me. Sometimes these trends don’t reach South African shops and I am sure there are many good reasons for this. I imagine that shops go to a great deal of effort to supply clothing that suits their markets. I can appreciate that, but sometimes I wish I didn’t have to get creative in order to buy the clothing I want. Getting creative could mean buying clothing from overseas, having them made or searching every possible shop until I find something similar.
I picked out three items that I hope I’ll be able to find easily as the days get warmer here in South Africa. They are are:
Dresses with cut out backs
Flat cut out shoes
Little brown bags
Do any of you have the same problem? What would you like to see in shops soon?
I love all three trends and they’re perfect for warmer weather! I’ll like to more sheer shirts and light sweaters in shops! xoxoxoxxoo
I love all of these trends, especially the little brown bags you pictured. And how sweet is that dress with the heart-shaped cut-out?!

I love all three of these trends and am hoping to find a cute brown bag for the fall. Since shops here are starting to put out their fall items, I am looking for a cute pair of lace up granny boots.
I love these back cleavage dresses! They are gorgeous!
I wish I could find them too
xoxo
Yes! I know! Same problem
It’s so annoying seeing things on overseas blogs that we just cant get here! The dresses are amazing i hope we get to see these here! I actually got a pair of shoes similar to the ones in your pic, from Zara when i was in Italy in May, no doubt you will see alot of them on my blog when summer is in full swing! Will definitely let you know if i see them around our stores!
fall clothes and weather!
absolutely lovely picks!!! those gray shoes are adorable!
I seriously love those shoes in the first pic. And pretty much that trend/style in general!

Helloha A
Happy shopping ladies
Check out Victoria Secrets online shop as well, believe or not they have amazing summer dresses.
Only problem with shipping your goods from the states…customs duty,gift wrapping comes inn a bit cheaper
Very cool post. Living in the Western Hemisphere, I forgot how long it can take for fashion trends to migrate. You can get some cute brown leather bags — like the one you posted — on Etsy for really cheap if you are interested. xo style, she wrote
Thanks for the tips ladies! I will be sure to check them out!
I love your selection! =)
I live in Costa Rica and here’s the same, we never will use some trends because of weather…
love the first little brown bag
