Cliq cliq photo of the day



Rihanna looked stunning in her white crop top and denim shorts. The outfit is so simply but yet stunning. She pulled it nicely. Steal her look, shorts look alike at Mr Price  and a white crop top at Cotton on.


Inspiration of the day: Little black dress


Classic black dress... Who does not like the little black dress!?
 Look good on any silhouette, black dress is a hot item in any lady's wardrobe. It's a piece of clothing worth owning. I have all sorts of fashion craziness in my wardrobe and some I have to change season after season but my black dresses have been there for years and I never get tired of them. You can get a good quality black dress for as cheap as R200.  I have ensemble a black dress outfit and can cost less than a thousand and five bucks. See below.

Dress & neck piece at Foschini, shoes at Aldo, wrist piece and aviators at Woolworths and a vintage Chanel bag to compliment can be found online stores such as e-bay.

White high heel : A must have



A white stiletto is currently a need in my wardrobe and it should be for every other lady. I'm a bit delayed I know but it's never too late. White heel transforms any outfit into a classy and stylish outfif. It adds a totally polished dimension. The heel can  be worn with jeans/pants & blazers, dresses or skirts to give a monochrome look. Monochrome look started trending from Spring / Summer  2013 & still is. The look is embraced by big designer household names such as Marc Jacobs and local household fashionista names such as *Hombakazi Mbu of HVC . I have come to love the classic monochrome look & to compliment it, there is a  need for a white high heel.  Get yourself a white heel at Aldo, Gold chain lookalike at cotton on less than R150,00 & Black & white blazer at forever 21.

My two fashionista icons


Solange -left and Julia-right (source:internet)


I have what I call a street-meets-luxury-style with a bit of quirkiness. I'm comfortable in my style and I love the fact that I'm not afraid to push boundaries. When I first noticed Solange Knowles I quickly identified a bit of my style in her. She's got a fabulous artistic style that leaves my jaw hanging each time I see her wearing something. She is a true fashionista and a trendsetter. She is a fan of an African print and never shies away from any great print. First time I got to understand that mismatch works was through her & it quickly grew on me. Later, I got to learn about Julia Sarr Jamois. Boy! Was I not blown away by her style!? She has a magnificent style not very far from Solange's. Whatever she puts on her body works. The first time I understood that I could make my boyfriend's clothing items look so cool on me was through Julia. Both these two ladies have their style tell a story and that story screams 'free spirited'. Exactly what I think every fashionista should do, let their style tell a story. To me, both these two ladies are true fashionista and trendsetters and they should be crown Queen of street fashion and glam. This is not a comparison rather a recognition of true fashionistas and of course my opinion.

2014 Focus areas


Inspiratiom -taking CliqCliq movement into greater heights
This year I choose to call my new year's resolution  focus areas (as my manager would put it)  because  I'd break my new years resolution before the 31st January anyway. 2013 has been a great year, I got to understand myself better, discovered myself, things I want & things that I like.  Tried new things which some worked out & those that did nt work out I'm planning to add them on my focus areas in 2014. Hopefully this time around I will  eventually get around to do them. The time I spend with my family is on top of the list, taking the cliq cliq movement brand to new greater heights is also high up in the list. Helping those in need around me & nourishing my spiritual side also made it to the list.  Continuing to discover myself & trying new things such as new language ( hopefully Swahili) & new cultures. Embracing my fashionista spirit & nourishing it. Now lets see how far I get with my focus areas, I have them written down in my diary as well as my heart. New horizon, new leaf , new beginnings, hopefully 2014 will be as good as 2013 and better
