Winter is approaching and I am scared of how lacking my Winter wardrobe is. This is why I am on the lookout for some Winter gear. I definitely want to add a cape to my Winter collection. Now, I wonder if any of the South African shops will stock them.

Here are some more of my favourite stands at the Design Indaba. Now that I am looking at these pics I am getting serious buyer’s regret. I wish I had bought those brogues and that vintage necklace and that clock…

Anomali
For unique vintage treasures.

Woodheads
For these gorgeous made from supplies all found at Woodheads.

Silver Spoon
For pretty frocks and clothing.

Kooky
For quirky and exciting perspex jewellery.

Doreen Southwood
For gorgeous dresses and these amazing brogues!

In short, South African designers have a lot to offer. We should be very proud.

I’ve been ogling so many vintage dresses on Etsy. I definitely want a 50s full skirted dress, but I have no idea where I’d wear it to. I only know that I would feel very special and lady-like in a dress that comes from that era. The possibility of who wore the dress and what happened when she wore it is such a romantic concept. Wearing vintage is definitely a whole other experience than wearing something new.

Here are some of my favourite dresses found on Etsy:

Prance and Swagger

Crafty Crow Vintage

Dear Golden

Have a great weekend! Rueben and I are going on a mini-break this weekend and I am psyched! If you haven’t entered the Panda Panda and Friends giveaway yet you can do so here. 14 January is the last day to enter.

I’ve been bookmarking my favourite looks on street style blogs for the past couple of weeks and I noticed a pattern. Most of the looks contain leather jackets! If I haven’t said this before on this blog then I am saying it now, I love leather! This pattern proves it. We can see from these looks that a little biker’s jacket looks great with various feminine looks. It definitely adds some edge to an outfit and makes it more noticeable. I don’t think there is a substitute for real leather. The best thing about it is that it’s a lifetime investment.

Even though Spring is here in South Africa, I don’t think we need to say goodbye to leather jackets just yet. I think they’re an easy way to keep warm on a the chillier Spring or even Summer nights. I’ve owned many leather jackets and found that I could wear them all year. These little jackets look especially good with floral dresses which are undoubtedly very popular already in South Africa.

Today was a quite a busy admin-filled day for me. When the paperwork and queuing was done I did some light shopping. I thought I’d share some of my buys and almost buys with you.

I found two dresses that fit very nicely. I think fit is extremely important. If something does not fit right then it can be very uncomfortable to wear. I also bought a pair of wedges. I’m looking forward to wearing these when Spring arrives, but will layer them up if I have to wait too long!

I surprised myself today because I shopped at Ackermans and Bata which I don’t usually do. It shows that you can overlook no shop as it might surprise you. Below are three dresses I fitted on but didn’t buy. They are lovely, but the fit was slightly out for me.

I wore a very comfy and simple outfit while running errands and shopping. Even though the outfit is plain, it’s still very me. I think it is very important to embrace your own style as much as possible because it makes you feel more you. Hope that makes sense!

I hope you enjoyed shopping with me!

Furthermore, I would like to thank everyone who voted for me for the SA Blog Awards. Your support and effort is great appreciated! My blog was not shortlisted this year but I will definitely try again next year! Also, thanks for all the amazing comments and questions you left for Aisa. I will send those questions off to her ASAP. One last thing, I will announce the giveaway winner tomorrow(Friday). Only a few more hours left to enter!

Have a stunning weekend! I have a feeling it’s going to be a good one.
