An Ode to Ms Knowles....





Yes the only Ms Knowles left..lol. Solange my style icon....Sorry Beyonce you went and Married  Jay Z and decided to wear leotards for the rest of your life..now  I love sista girls Music but no maaaarn th best dressed has to be Solange....even her name just oozes style lol...sounds like a French dish dont u think? "can i have some solange with extra cream please..lol..." ... though I must say it is so unfair that she has to be constantly compared..so im keeping this about her..the only one with style..

I'm not going to go through the nitty gritty of introducing you we all know who she is how she rolls and what shes about.. but what i will highlight about her is her amazing sense of personal sstyle..yes she is not only a trend setter and follower but that's not why I respek this lady! it has to be her au naturelle "comfortable with her own skinness"..if there was such a word.i love how when dealing with clothes and hair this woman stays true to herslef..not too much make up..not too much chemical(if at all) and you can still see that sister girl is a black woman.these days we be rocking weaves lashes nails and contacts and a nigger cant even tell what race you are.now i'm not an anti weave activist trust me im more of an activist but i beleive in one beauty enhancement at a time..nah mean? next thing u walk through the airport at the check in counter and they don't even match you with your ID...

In the following images we see Solange in her many stages of fashion her retro yet ethnic and eclectic style paired with many ethnic hair dos and shoes to die for! I swear when i die i want to resurrect as Solanges maid so I can steal from her wardrobe..we see from haute couture..to samples to hand me downs to thrift store purchases to our very own south african designers...Speaking of she was recently in South Africa .. don't know if she still is but she shot a video in Cape Town Kwa Langa..WORD! cant wait to check it out hey.some how these Americans like to create the whole aura of "township Glamour"yet trust me aint nothing glamorous bout riding through the hood in a phela..lol...




























SHORT SHORTS!!

Good morning my lovely ladies.....now i know summer is easing in..apart from Cape Town weathers skitzofrenik tendencies..and the urge to whip out those dresses shorts and mini skirts is just killing you..each , morning you wake up in a sweat after having dreamt about your size 0 body laying sun kissed at caps bay ..but then reality hits you when you open your window and you see the sun but feel the cold..and also the rolls...

Now I love me some short shorts but i just love my dignity as well..so please my darlings this is NOT a trend for the weak at heart..trust me you will get stares( from South African men who just cant seem to contain themselves) you will hear comments(from our fellow sister haters) just make sure you're not giving em any ammo..

Now my favourite shorts are the vintage denim short shorts with cut out detailing or turn up.these usually sit high on the waist ..so please...suck it in..or work it out girl..i know us sisters have the urges to rock some trends like the white girl but we shan't forget that we are blessed with booty and thighs so think wisely before you go there...its all about fit...the looser more comfortable short is for us my ladies..

here are a few DIY trends u could work this summer..
