JHB fashion week was last week as we all know. AFI took fashion week to the Jhb CBD....and it was awesome!

Our main man Yeezy was all leather @ NYFW! What was up with that? Will we be seeing men in loads of leather this side come Autumn/ Winter? Leather pants? Red leather? I wonder.... 'Ye looked dope nonetheless.....we love you! Yes we do and we cannot wait for your next album in March/April? xoxo

Thailand Fashion...

So I went to Thailand over December, and I happened to bump into fashion.
It was crazy and unexpected. I know there are stylish people all over the world, but
had no idea that Chiang Mai would be be flooded with them.

The markets are topped up with any item of clothing one could think of... EPIC!!



Rolled up denims, socks sticking out, brogues/boat
shoes. And then spice it up with a vintage old top/ jacket.
This is what i saw throughout the trip, every male would have this
style on absolute lock down.

Old School vibes.







Floral print...



SHOW US YOUR SOCKS!!


I loved this style- hair is brushed to the front and then teased - a do!!

Jump suits = PLEASANT

Crop top-incorporated into a dress.



We love animal print...




If you're ever in Chiang Mai, Thailand, there is an adorable little
restaurant called G-long. Its got delicious selection of dishes to pick from.
