My new obsession (Is this healthy?)


I always wonder what people think when I waffle on about fashion. From time to time I always jump up and down in random outburst pointing at that lovely someone who makes my fashion dream outfits into reality. Seeing something different is always exciting .It brings up so many thoughts and on a casual bases I say the words “why didn’t I think of that”.

Look book is my daily dose of dessert. Yes dessert, the countless amount of ambitious fashionistas putting up a show of the amazing garment that they own. Yes this is what they wear every single day and you can’t help but wish for that brown leather jacket with the zip detail or that amazing vintage bag (which I have seen so many beautiful ones. This is an amazing place to gain some design inspiration.

I have posted photos of the profiles that I love so much. I am a fan actually I’ll even be a dam groupie. Find me someone who dresses like Mckenneth in South Africa.

Please?!

Yeezey ran into Clay as he was shopping at Barneys,digged his style and signed him up, yup just like that! Clay dropped out or rather "took a leave of absence from his studies".

Emma Watson's New Look

Who would have thought that the little child star would become such a fashion Icon, well I certainly did not expect this as there is not even a tiny hint of fashion in any of the Harry Potter Movies. I love the new hair cut. It is a very chic and elegant look. This is certainly a great way to say fare well to the Harry Potter life. The new look  suits Emma Watson very well and many top fashion magazines seem to agree with the change.

Emma Watson is the cover girl for the Marie Claire South Africa February 2011
Aka: The talking Marie Claire Magazine

Here are some images of Emma Watsons new look:

Alexa Chung

I have no words for this beauty. I love her style. She is always on point,  simple but effective. 
Here are a few images for you to admirer in a moment of silence (and I really do mean it “a moment of silence”).







Uffie Diesel Capsule Collection

We all know Diesel for their trendy and hardcore image. Diesel has collaborated with under-ground electro pop star Uffie, who has recently released her new album titled: Sex Dreams and Denim. The range consists of a 12 piece female capsule collection. The project combines both leather and denim, creating interesting cuts and silhouettes. The choice of material certainly represents the best of both worlds and brings out that rock chic feel in the different garments. The collection is already available on the Diesel website. I advice you, to check out the pics on the Diesel website especially the lifestyle pics. I certainly like this better then the "be stupid" campaign.
