Happy productive days ahead

I hope you are having a lovely weekend. Being sick for the past 4 weeks has  been a setback for my blog. Im coming back with a bang though, too many things to do. Trying to build a brand is not easy, means research, meetings and be on top of things. Having summoned to a six weeks bed rest has nt made things easy at all. On a positive note, I'm slowly getting there, so I cant wait to do what I love most. I cant wait to get back on the bandwagon. To all my Christian friends, we need to reflect on what this period means to us, Christians, Good Friday to Easter Monday. Enjoy and be safe.

Lupita does it again at MTV movie awards

Source: Elle Magazine
Lupita is getting good reviews again. There is something that she is definitely doing right. I'm trying to think so hard why is she Hollywood's IT girl? Designers want to dress her for the red carpet. Magazines want to feature her. I'm not trying to be funny at all but if Hollywood wanted an African American "it girl", why her? The only big movie she's been on is -12 years a slave. Why not Kerry Washington, Megan Good, Zoe Saldanha, Tarij. P Henson, Gabriel Union, they have been at it and are very good. They never got this hype.  There is a lot more before her that also deserved to get this hype. I think she is pretty  nevertheless and maybe her personality and attitude has everything to do with her being an IT girl. All I can do is be happy for her and wish her well in her career.

Fashionista of the day

Fashion Friday it is. We talking street fashion. Today's fashionista is Pushy Bonkolo from Umtata. I love her retro look. I love the color and the detail she's added to her maxi dress. The belt, it added another dimension to her outfit. Talking about bringing back the retro. Well done Pushy. What's your thought on Pushy 's ensemble?

Fashionista of the day




Today's fashionista is Nolitha Mqunyana from Johannesburg. A designer of Rayo de Sol label and a business woman. Her ensemble is chic and beautiful. It almost feels as if she did nt have any hustle putting it together. I love the detail. Her high waist skirt which she has designed herself is made from super wool. Her shirt, also made by her is made from Valentino exclusive fabric. I love the touch of a pink shoulder bag, to bring out the colour in her outfit. If you would like to know more about her designer label please e-mail me at cliqcliq@mweb.co.za

Winter closet

Its that time of the year again, when we need to re organise our closets. It feels like yesterday when we first had our first warm Summer days in Cape Town. Its Autumn already and one needs to start packing those Summer clothes away. Swapping fedoras for Turbans. I must say Winter clothing is not my favorite but there are certain winter items that I really love. I have  created 5 Winter inspiration ensembles. If you are  buying winter clothes remember to create a vibrant wardrobe. Mix trendy with classics. Try to be as dynamic as possible. Must haves for this Winter is a leather biker jacket or pull over, biker boots are still trending, brogues, maxi skirts, blazers, oversize sweater or jersey, beige coat and a lot of different accessory. Have you done your winter shopping? What's bomber item in your list. I just got mine a faux leather & denim biker jacket.

Fashionista of the day



Today's fashionista is Fundi from Cape Town. I love her elegant style. She carries everything that she wears with so much grace. As we part ways with Summer, her stunning outfit of a maxi skirt paired with a blazer is  definitely, a YAY. Scroll down to see some of her photo's she has been featured more than once in the blog. Enjoy.
