 Hey Everyone 😀

Firstly Happy New Year ! can you believe we in the year 2024 already? crazy ! 

I'm sure wherever you are you are somewhat settled and feel that back-to-norm vibes have crept in already. 

On my side I still feel a bit on holiday mode, I think because the weather is so hot and it still gives those summer vibes you know..my days recently have been filled with loads of visits to the beach and sunsets which I absolutely love.

I've seen this trend going around In's and Outs for the year lets give it a goo 

INS

• creating>consuming
• drink more water
• reading more 
• learning a new recipe / being the kitchen more 
• blog more (haha I really want to try this year)
• more walks / sunsets 
• getting more creative 
• some form of exercise 

OUTS

• consuming > creating 
• too much screen time (very hard but got to work on it)
• comparing 
• not being organized

I would like to add more here but I really need to think about it but it was fun making that ins and outs list... lets hope I can stick to it haha 😂 

but anyways ... I hope everyone have a good year ahead , because of course there will be curveballs along the way  but we have to be positive and hope and trust for the best.

Summer Must Haves

 Hey Lovelies ,

As much as I love winter fashion, I'm ready for a change and welcome some summer fashion. Here is some of picks of what I think would be great to have this upcoming spring /summer. 

1. Denim Skirt - Mr Price 

The denim skirt in my opinion is a must have and I hope I get my hands on it soon, it's classy and it can be dressed up and down and used for all seasons. 

2. Tote Bag - Mr Price 

Beach days, markets a quick errand, tote bags are always a great idea. It's light and a plus fashionable you get really great ones with awesome graphics. 

3. Colourful Earrings - Lily Jewels 

What is summer without funky jewelry. Go bold go with colour it makes a huge difference in your appearance and add spice to your outfit. 

4. Silki Sunscreen - Silki 

Aaah I love this Sunscreen, works well and soo affordable. Girlies you don't need to break the bank. This one does the job! 

5. Flower Clips - The Fitz 

The trendy flower Clip, so fun and will add character to your outfit. I want all the colours. 

6. Simple Sandals - Woolworths

A cute comfy Sandals is a must for Summer, even if you have your two basic colours. You need them on those warm days

REVIEW : Fujifilm INSTAX LINK WIDE Printer

 Hi Lovelies , 

How are you ? I hope you having a good day 😀. As you all know I am an Instax gal , and I'm here today to bring you another awesome review of one Instax Printers this time - they sent over for me to test and review the INSTAX LINK WIDE Printer.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS:

Firstly I was super excited to try this particular Instax out as it was a Printer this time and you need to download the APP to get access to your photos. I loved the design of the printer and loved that it comes with a stand so you can store your camera on a desk or shelf.. I was definitely intrigued to see what this Instax Printer can do.

Trying out the INSTAX LINK WIDE:

So with this Instax printer it needs to be used with the APP which was the first time I used it and it was such a fun process. I enjoyed choosing some memories from my phone that I always wanted to print and adding wording and selecting photos and putting it in a collage. I only figured out some other features later on once my film was finished but I think they are really cool and something different to add life to your memories.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

Wow! I am 100% impressed with this printer and I would definitely purchase if I can. I love love my normal Instax cameras but this printer was so fun to play around with. My favourite features was that you can add artwork or wording to your memories , oh and the collage feature is great. But guys I realized you can add so much more such as voice recordings , hidden messages , website links , location points to your photos. I also love the wide polaroid look as it can capture more of the background if you please.

KEY FEATURES:

• Simple Print
• Colour Modes
• Video Print 
• Multi Print

QR MODES

• Record a sound
• Link to a website
• Location Print
• Hidden Messages 

Retail Price in South Africa +/- R2500

Colours available in the Instax Link Wide Printer

Look Post : Winter Look And Styling My Combat Boots

 Hey lovelies,

How you doing? We've really been having winter weather in Cape Town recently, chills rain and all and I think I'm all ready for a change of season and now in the mood for some warmer weather until summer comes again then I want winter, but...  I'm all for winter fashion and I wish I had more energy to capture more winter looks.

As long promised I've always wanted to put some winter content up and finally I got myself to to put a look together and actually post it! A winter outfit look post at least before winter is over, I took the opportunity when we decided to take my little brothers to the park , my sister had her camera with and I was down for a little photoshoot as the setting was perfect.

About the look : 

I've always had this idea to style my boot like this I just feel it completely elevate the whole outfit .I went for a very laid back look - my baggy track pants, keeping it basic with a black jersey, quilted mid lengthy jacket(which is very trendy atm too) and of course my favourite shoe for the season my combat boot to give it the extra edge and to complete the outfit , i also added some black sunnies and a black beanie not forgetting my cute sling bag. Are you not loving this DUPE from Ackermans that looks very similar to the country road one.

Do you love my winter look and how I styled my boots ? Is it something you would wear? 

What I'm wearing:

Sunnies : Cotton On

Jacket : Choice Clothing

Track pants : Cotton On

Shoes: Soviet

Bag : Ackermans

Stay Fabulous

Review : Silki Daily Defence Sunscreen 30 SPF

 Hey Beauties , 

It's been a minute and I've been hibernating again. but I'm back with another review. Today I will be reviewing a sunscreen by a brand called Silki Daily Defence Sunscreen  - 30spf UVA-UVB.

I've been testing this product over a few months now and I must say I literally love it and use it on the daily. So I will keep this short and sweet..

What I loved about the product :

I loved that it is very cost effective and mainly that it does not give off a white cast when applying. I also love that it does not give an oily feeling once applied. I also use it on gloomy days ...as you should and as a daily cream , its actually very moisturizing.

Here is some more info on the sunscreen :

• fragrance free
• easily absorbs
• no white cast
• for all skin types
• for all skin tones
• affordable

I will 100% purchase again and its perfect for normal to dry skin , I really want to try out the 50 SPF anti pollution sunscreen. If you looking for another 50 SPF sunscreen I did a review on the Nivea anti aging - Click here

You can purchase the 50ml on the silki website https://feelsilki.com/ . for only R130. If you used the product please tag me and the brand #influencedbythefabdiary

Look Post : Styling Cargo Pants

 Hi Beauties,

Omw things just got hectic lately and I was wanting to post this ages ago but I didn't get any chance to sit down but I couldn't be more happier to post this as I did not do a Look Post in AGES I mean AGES !

Our topic today is CARGO PANTS , I must say its definitely one of my favorite favorite trends at the moment and glad it has made a comeback and gained quite a lot of popularity. I really love that our legs get to feel comfy while looking stylish, don't mind me I still love a good skinny pants but I'm not complaining, I love how laidback the loose fit is and the plus side is that you can style it up but I prefer styling it laidback as I did here. 

My look- I went with an oversized graphic T with a nice pop of colour along with a stone colour cargo pants and white chunky sneakers paired along with some vintage looking sunglasses I got in a magazine once upon a time.

Hope you loved my look , please comment below if you did. How would you style your cargo pants ? Let me know .

Have a wonderful day.
