Sophie Griotto is a talented illustrator and after Fifi Lapin, might be my favorite. Sophie’s focus is the contemporary urban woman, she researches her accesories and attitude, which makes her personality a lot more original. Her work is not just a picture it’s a place I want to go to.

Inspired by New York and all its craziness, it is no surprise I am in love with the Kate Spade 2013 fall collection. So retro, so Kate Spade, so me!

I found Fifi Lapin’s blog by accident and it was one of the best accidents I ever had. She does fashion illustrations, but they’re all bunnies, who doesn’t love a bunny right? So imagine a fashionable bunny, I know, you just can’t beat that…
This is her London Fashion Week illustration, how damn cool are these bunnies?
Do yourself a favour and go check out her blog http://fifi-lapin.blogspot.com/
I see myself enjoying sporty inspired fashion more and more lately, this editorial in W, USA Magazine is especially cool because of the colour co-ordination and the makeup

Yay it’s Friday and for many of us, the first weekend after being back at work! If you’re like me, you’ve been in your own world of day dreams about the New Year has to offer and have also been pretty tired and lethargic throughout the week, so in case you missed any of this due to lack of interest to anything other than your bed, here is the weekly wrap up of fashion, celebs and anything worth mentioning…
- The awards season kicked off with the People’s Choice Awards and the general consensus was that Taylor Swift was once again, the best dressed. You can view my favorites here
The most successful winner on the night was The Hunger Games franchise
- Justin Bieber was allegedly snapped smoking pot which caused a Twitter frenzy. Fans created a hashtag #cutforbieber and were cutting themselves in protest of him “smoking” the pot (I searched the hashtag, it wasn’t pretty)
- Chanel’s Spring ad campaign was released and caused controversy because of two young models used in the campaign. The campaign has a Japenese feel, you can view the campaign here
- Mila Kunis (who was voted sexiest woman alive by GQ magazine just a few months ago) was dubbed by New York News Daily as the “frumpiest” celeb
- Kate Middleton (who the world seems to be obsessed with) turned 31 on Monday 09 January
- Britney Spears quit X Factor, since I watched the season she was on, I must say it is the best thing for the viewers as well as her career.
- Apparently Taylor Swift is back in the recording studio, which of course is probably inspired by the Harry Styles breakup (I don’t mind though, as long as she keeps making music as good as the stuff on her album RED)
- The Oscar nominations were announced, you can view the list here
- Emma Stone stunned once again in a ravishing red Lanvin dress
- On a more personal note, I compiled a list of 5 fashion items to own for 2013 for All4Women, it may just inspire a new look or a shopping spree http://all4women.co.za/fashion-and-beauty/fashion/5-fashion-items-to-own-for-2013.html go have a read
That’s all for now, have a happy weekend lovelies
I remember a time (a few years ago when I was still in High School) when if you didn’t have a Von Dutch buckled belt or a Von Dutch branded handbag you weren’t cool – end of story.
However nowadays if you were to ask the high school teens about Von Dutch I doubt they’d know what it is. Von Dutch’s stint in SA fashion came and went quite quickly!
Can you remember Von Dutch?
Miranda Kerr is everywhere! From magazine covers to fashion editorials and the face for so many brands I can’t keep up. I’d say this qualifies her for an “It Girl” status. Above all of her achievements and magazine covers, she has impeccable style and is a fashionista to watch.

I love this image for so many reasons – beautifully shot, the sneaky red sole, the combination of red and black, its perfection!
