Summer lovin'

Sunny, summer days call for pretty, purple prints.

Oh summer, how I have missed thee so. This week has brought back so many carefree memories of last years summer season... the long walks on the beach (with that not so perfect man), the continuous smell of salt through your hair, sand in between your toes and the beautiful moments captured as the sun sets late into the night, as you take that last sip of cider you've been craving all day and night, and in that moment, you are relieved, relaxed, renewed; replenished, ready to take on a new day of summertime madness. 

Yes, I miss that. Yes, I can't wait to welcome summer back into my life.

Yesterday, was the first time in a very long while that I could feel summer knocking on my doorstep. As you would, I welcomed it with arms wide open. I dressed for the day, relaxed and feeling more refreshed than ever; reflecting on opportunities... in awe of the power of now... I feel on top of the world. There's no doubt in my mind that this was obviously portrayed in my outfit - wearing colours, prints and textures that all scream summer, I was set up for a day of care-free summertime lovin' ...not that I have a lover, but I sure am a lover of life. 

Wearing: River Island daisy jumpsuit, Billabong crocheted kimono and Windsor Smith platform sandals.

Happy summertime lovin'

SPORTSWEAR X STREETSTYLE

So this is what I like to call Street-wear Steeze.

Right now, you may be asking yourself what on earth the term steeze actually is - but hey, let me tell you - it's all in the style (don't worry, not long ago I was asking the exact same question). It's a popular quirky term introduced by the young and reckless society published on Urban Dictionary... 

        Steeze: 'The combination of style and ease'  ie. "Damn girl, you got some steeze".

I love street style x sports wear. Its comfy and casual yet has the potential to be the most on-edge outfit, overflowing with tremendous amounts of steeze (yeah, I did just go there). The versatility of this trend is somewhat incredible and I can't stress enough the power to go nuts with this! Play with it, mix things up - Its street style, you can do whatever you like and in most cases, you'll pull it off (unless your having a FASHION101 breakdown!).

It's a trend that hasn't been amongst us in quite a while, therefore it's the opportunity for you to 1. make it your own and 2. set a trend within the trend. It can become luxurious and powerful, paired with the perfect pair of ankle hugging heels or, quite opposite, it can turn you into a street-style-B-Ball-playing-Goddess when complimented with those favourite pair of high-top sneakers that's been hiding in your cupboard, just waiting, screaming even, "WEAR ME". Take it from me, grab those bad boys out, and start making the most of this while it's still around. 

Right now, grab your wallet, head out shopping and grab yourself a jersey, or better yet, you may even have that Jersey that's been hiding in your cupboard, just waiting for that perfect opportunity, well, grab it out, put it on, and start walking with steeeeeze.

Don't wait for the steeze, let the steeze find you (humour intended - but honestly, just go for it!).

Wearing: Stussy B-ball jersey, Bardot white leather shorts, Windsor Smith platform shoes, Sportsgirl vintage denim jacket, Mimco watch, Chi Chi red matte lipstick. 

NOTE* Obviously I'm in a very humorous mood today - Hope you found my post somewhat comical.

On Wednesdays we wear white

Wednesday I'm in love, I'm all shook up.

On Wednesdays, we wear white. We clothe ourselves with confidence; enlightened by the influences of city lights and the sounds of sweet inner-city living. There's something about a Woman in White that intrigues the human eye to look twice, step back and embrace the captivating presence that goes beforth them. I love wearing white. No matter what mood strikes me, If I'm wearing white, I'm made new. You see, that's another amazing facet of style. Style has so many levels of influence both on yourself personally and the greater world. It has the power to create and contour your ability to think, feel, react and respond to the life you disclose your own. And that is why I love white. I long to feel forever renewed, with my shield I go forth, taking the city under my wing and seizing every open opportunity my big heart desires. I am a clean, white blank page. Now let's start writing...

My outfit of the day:

Cottonon black fedora hat - Sportsgirl dark red lipstick - Topshop white blazer - Minkpink white crop top - Bardot white leather sport pants - White peep-toe mirrored heels - Karen Walker Super Duper sunglasses - Nixon rose gold watch
