A Two Day Celebration

One of my closest friends, Thaakirah, turned 21 today. So we decided that to celebrate, we'd break the weekend into two parts: the fancy, and the chilled.

Saturday consisted of having a total girl day: make-up, heals, dresses- the works- all for our dinner at Kaprino's, a place none of us had been before.

 We arrived all dolled up...only to discover that our jeans and flats would have fit in perfectly with the crowd- talk about overdressed!

And then we realized that we didn't really care, we were going to enjoy it no matter what.

And we did: there's nothing like good food and great company.

 Sunday- today- was our chill day: mini golf at Sea Point (where I placed second- which scores me major bragging points with my sister) and a walk to the V&A for lunch. We didn't expect the walk to be quite as long and tiring as it was, and no one felt guilty about the Macdonald's after that work-out! Overall we had great fun, exercise, and food. Hope you enjoy these pictures as much as we enjoyed our weekend and don’t forget to let me know what you think.

I am surprised that trends take so long to catch on. All of these things were around in summer but did not catch on. I did not see as much people wearing these trends or as many shops stocking them as I do now. I’m also surprised that most of summer trends are carrying on into winter. This is a bonus if you have these items in your cupboards already. So now you can dress it a bit wintery. By adding a winter blazer or jersey, maybe adding some boots and stockings. If I think about my cupboard there a lot of my new summer things that I can dress warmly in winter. The question is will I? I’m always looking for a reason to make me new clothes. And I’m sure that all of you are same, only you’ll be buying the clothes.

Mullets are so big at the moment. You get them in shirts, skirts, and dresses.  

Blazers are back this season only difference is last year they were oversized blazers.

High-waisted skirts are my favourite, great in summer and winter.

Caftans, (LOVE THEM) my cupboard is filled with it. Was the coolest things to wear over dresses in summer (like I’m wearing in the above picture). And in winter it will be a nice cover up.

Wedges were huge in summer and now they have brought them over to winter, BUT this time they are in suede!

Cobalt is my new favourite colour but it is also a hot new colour for winter. What I love about it will brighten up our winter.

Hope you liked enjoyed this forecast. I don’t like winter but I’m excited for all these hot new trends!

EXCITED!!

For a long time now I was not able to blog. I found it very frustrating because I would think of a brilliant topic to blog about and then I would want to go and do it straight away. On the plus side, now I have lots of new ideas and I am so excited to share them with you.

And I have something else that I am really excited about, MY NEW RANGE!!! I have been working on it all week, and finally I have decided on all the new styles, colours and fabrics. Now it’s just for me to start making them. I am going to try and make one outfit every week and then post it on here. My official launch will be on the 20^th of April at Darul Nai’m High School’s market day. But you people will get to see them first. Inshallah.
