…it takes one strong item to make a statement..

..a great look is not about “piling it on” but rather about choosing your pieces carefully.. Less is definitely more, but that does not mean you have yo go all “minimalist”.. A great pair of boots/shoes, a statement jacket, a bold piece of jewelry is all you need…

I love this look…almost plain..but then those boots just change everything..tease and say something… then leave them…breathless

beautiful nude…the scarf makes the statement..

Michel Lamy -Rick Owen’s wife says it loud.. I love..

I’m in love with bling/statement sneakers at the moment! Haven’t found what I want yet… but it’s only a matter of time!!

…statement pieces that I love…and want..

Off to ITALY for more buying…

A touch of Goth…a hint of punk..a lot of leather..a lot of black..pale skin,dark lips and attitude..

HOW COOL IS HALLE BERRY??? She is one of the few Hollywood stars that somehow always gets it right and never looks like she’s trying.. I love the leather pant! We’ve got some stunning ones… very flattering and a lot easier to wear than you think! I’ll show you how!

ADORE

I like the tattoo peeking out..

leather pants…another fetish of mine..

Yummy fur jacket!

the vest looks very much like a Gryphon vest!…maybe it is… Great way to layer for winter and look sexy whilst staying warm

More street style…

From Paris fashion week..

…these street styles speak of strong women…women who known who they are, who they want to be and who are not afraid to bee seen or heard! Would be great to start seeing more of that in SA… where individual style is still rather frowned upon! I am still amazed at how many times I get weird looks when I dress a wee bit outrageously (I say I wee bit because I do toned it down a lot here!and can assure you that in Europe no one would look twice in my direction!)… Thankfully I have a thick skin and could care less about what others think, but it still baffles me! However I am ON A MISSION… to change SA’s attitude towards fashion and hope that along with it I will liberate and empower women!

Happy long weekend!

Love

me
