Her name is Kimbra.....



Have you ever paid close attention to the person singing for a specific artist, and wondered "who is he or she?" That's exactly how I felt with Kimbra when she sang for Gotye in his music video "somebody I used to know"....This ladies breath-taking voice got me to fall in love with her the moment I heard her, here's a track by the talented Kimbra herself, titled "Settle Down."  ENJOY.

Something for the men......

Once again seeing as summer is right around the corner I figured I should get a few fashion likes of my own that I like seeing men wear......ON THAT NOTE HERE'S SOMETHING FOR THE GENTS!





























love.pray.laugh

The aim is too look like this.......

Now that summer is knocking at our doors very soon and winter is saying its last goodbye's, ladies have started to panic about their winter binging habits, that obviously made them gain weight. Unfortunately if you weren't  hitting the gym to look like this sizzling fit lady (in the below photograph), then its never too late to start keeping fit-its a pity you won't look like this lady, but one thing for sure she motivates me to want to look good and healthy.

Gold and Classy.....

There was a time when gold was the absolute "IN-THIN" to wear, then it went out of fashion......theses days gold is worn and has to been seen somewhere amongst your outfit. Whether it be your bag, your shoes or even your nails-GOLD IS A MUST HAVE IN THE WARDROBE.

The beauty in Black and White

My thoughts....

Sitting by my desk all I can think about are the  many things, challenges, cries and happy moments life is still going to give me.....but then I suddenly have a sigh of relief because once again God has given me another day......and its up to me to make sure that the next day is better than YESTERDAY.

From the Books of secrets...

MIRRORS

 

" You are the cause of whatsoever is happening to you. You are the cause, and the world is just a mirror. But it is consolatory always to find the cause somewhere else. Then you never have guilt, you never feel self condemned. You can always point out that here is the cause, and unless this cause changes.."how can I change?" you can escape into it, this is a trick. So your mind always goes on projecting causes somewhere else."


FROM THE BOOK OF SECRETS.

The Knowle's Sisters doing their Braid thing....

One has to give the Knowles sisters a thumbs up for bringing back the braid look. But then again one has to give Solange Knowles a double thumbs up for putting her sister in the game. Solange has been seen nearly everywhere, looking fresh and natural in her afro and then again in her tredny thick long braids...clearly Mama "B" is following suit and giving the weaves a bit of a break....LOOKING GOOD SISTERS!!!



                                        Mama "B" looking good with long golden brown braids.


                                        Solange Knowles has started a trend for all young ladies.....

Jozi Straat Style......

Johannesburg a.k.a Jozi was buzzing with street style. From high waist pants, to colouful shirts, to vintage handbags, then again to designer label handbags, to neck-chokers.....let me allow you to see for yourself......Dankie Jozi!!

love.pray.laugh

                   The moment I saw this lady I thought to myself : "lovely, trendy and sophisticated."



         Nothing looks hotter than "A LADY IN RED" and vintage high waist pants..GORGEOUS!


                               Simplicity is always key, and this guy pulled it off quite well.



 I looked at this lady's earring's, bag and her African neck accessory and I thought she looked beautiful, on-top of that she added a red boyfriends jacket to give her look the edge....and yes the hand bag that she holding is JIMMY CHOO (sigh).




 When I first saw this dress at Mr Price I thought to myself that it had some edge about it, then I spotted this lady rocking it and looking sexy and classy.

 Trust somebody out there to look diva-lish and have a  weird yet eye-catching hair-style in Johannesburg. This lady deejay is definitely not afraid to try out new things...might I add when I asked her about the colour of her hair she replied, "I bleached my hair."




 We might still be in the winter season, but that doesn't stop many women from wearing knee high winter socks with short skirts....and I must say she rocked her outfit quite well...OH AND HER VINTAGE BROWN BAG.....(sigh).



 Found this BEAUTY sitting conversing on her phone, and I was just mesmorised by her hair and cute looks. Might I add her tatoo was also asking to be photographed...lol.




      This lady's bright colours stood out from a mile away, and I absolutely loved her oval sunglasses.




  These two ladies are clearly friends as they seemed to be dressed  alike, but they looked relaxed and cute.






  The colour yellow is not often seen in the streets of Johannesburg as its boldness stands out. Yet this lady in particular broke the brightness with a black dress and added snake skinned wedged ankle boots. LOVE THIS!



                                                         Her shoes are a must have!!!



              I stepped into Shell garage and spotted this guy looking ravishing, cool, calm and collected.




                          Leather jackets and animal printed shirts can never go wrong.


 This is not one of the best photograph of this ladies neck choker, but it really added something to her plain pink jersey.

                           This young man's jersey looked warm and I loved the texture and print on it.




                                    Her shades and ring are a MUST HAVE.....LOVELY.

   Leather jacket, ankle wedged boots and big hand bag and she's ready to walk the streets of jozi!



 Everywhere I go these days I seem to see everyone carrying these printed back-packs.....and I'm actually loving them....I WANT ONE!


Now here's a guy (yes its a guy), who could give many women a run for their money. Not only is he pretty, but he rocked his outfit. I absolutely loved his dark green shirt, black boyfriends jacket and his neck-pieces.
