Hot Right Now!

 If you haven’t watched television or read magazines or drive with your eyes closed then you will not recognise any of the following points I’m about to rave about; the hot new things in fashion closest to my heart.

The Peplum

I was introduced to this word in 1^st year fashion school; and fell in love with it before I knew what is was exactly.  It is simply a flared piece added to a dress, skirt or top at any point to create some flirtyness and femininity to a piece.   The best position for most South African ladies it the waistline so that it falls just where our behinds start; giving you a stunning shape from the back. 

                                                         

Green

Yes that almost too bright and also not dark green….I think its grass green.  I believe it is the new petrol blue.  It is bold and the right colour for the environment *wink* So don’t be stubborn, go green on everything: shoes, dress, handbag , watch, car, lawn, etc just green it.

                                            

Black and White…together at last

It’s a great day in fashion for politics, now that black and white can hang together on a dress, or a handbag or on a shoe without looking like a Zebra or being limited to 2-tone jazz theme.  Chanel is an inspiration on this (Dankse Karl!).  Just don’t go too monochrome, we might mistake you for a wall!

                                                     

Toned Down Colour Block

Okay I'm now satisfied with the brightness of colour blocking; and do believe as South African s we took advantage to potentialize on our traditional gears on our daily wear the day colour blocking was stamped as acceptable everyday!  Now as we move into Winter 2013 you are allowed to colour block; just with muted shades.  Think of berries, tans, pastels, etc.

                                                

Till Next time in fashion.
