An Nur Streetstyle shoot

Hello again Readers!

It’s been a really short week which means all productivity needs to be squeezed into 3 days…*Sigh* But I’m not complaining as it means a few more ‘late’ mornings for me yay! This mommy business hard work….

About 2 weeks ago I was filmed for An Nur The Light’s street style feature. It was such an honour to be chosen and interviewed; and the day turned out to be unbelievably hot for an Autumn day. As I’ve said previously, I usually decide on the day what to wear so my outfit planning of the previous night was all in vain (as is the norm) and I chose a completely different look and outfit on the morning!

After much deliberation I finally decided on a look that encapsulates my style, classic with a bit of edge. It’s no secret that I love sequins and I own quite a few sequined pieces, I therefore chose this two year old sequined skirt that I picked up on a trip abroad. Denim is also a favourite and I usually add denim for some edge or to dress down an outfit, in this ensemble I tied it at the waist for an effortless laid back feel. Even though these two pieces are both from two seasons ago I still feel happy to wear them, a sign of their timelessness and quality.

My lace up caged heels and a pony hair clutch finish off the look.

Hubby shot this look in true street style fashion after the shoot.

To watch the interview and feature, please keep an eye on my page or social media for details on when the episode will be aired. An Nur, The Light is usually on Saturdays mornings at 11am, on SABC 3. Stay tuned for further details.

Wedged Street Style

This past Mother’s Day weekend was one of the best I’ve had in a long time, mainly because this year, we decided not to fight with crowds for a table at restaurants. I spent such a relaxed day, doing very little, reading and spending time with my two Mums :-D

I do believe that Mother’s day should be everyday because of the “muchness” of a mother and what she accomplishes on a daily basis. But it is great having that one day, just to be acknowledged and shown how much you are cherished.

I hope all Mums had a fantastic Mother’s Day, and may you always be cherished by your families every single day.

Today’s look is a typical relaxed look for me, I suppose you could call it my “Street Style”.

I have paired my oversized denim shirtdress, with leather leggings and wedge sneakers.

I’ve also included my Makoya Brands Thiros versatile leather clutch to finish off the look. This clutch is the perfect size for everyday essentials and the chain length is just right for it to be used across body too!
