Autumn Basics

Hello,

Autumn here in South Africa seems to be very chilled I love the fact that the air is more cooled down and we get surprised by a warm(ohkay not that warm) day in between. Before Autumn leaves us by next week I just wanted to share one of my casual looks and favourite basics I rocked this season before we head to winter where more heavy layering will be needed when dressing.

I'm really a fan of comfort , I simply love my denims and shirts keeping it basic and simple. This is shirt I found at a woolies sale about the end of last year paired it up with my fav edgars jean jegging and booties I snatched from Mr P awhile back can't really remember. I added a bowler hat to make this look more quirky and a simple small sling perfect for a day out.  

 I think Bowler hats are a must it just makes a outfit cute.

Boots is one item I'll be wearing a lot of.

Tip: Boots and Hats is one way to dress a look and make it look funky so use this as a statement no matter how simple your outfit may look.

What accessories do you use as you 'wow' piece in an outfit??

What I'm wearing:

Shirt : Woolworths

Jean: Edgars Free2BU

Boots: MR P

Hat and Bag: Practical Gifts (Facebook)

Have a lovely Monday :)

Stay Fabulous

Trend : Pastels

Hello Beauties

Mmm its been awhile since I sat down behind the computer and actually wrote a post, I just don't seem to find enough time in a day urghh.

I hope you all well :)

Anyway I want to speak about a trend that seems to be very popular this Autumn/Winter,
PASTELS.

No need for autumn/winter to be dull and boring, although these shades were popular during spring/summer it seems to make a big statement this season , I'm not complaining I think its great, it gives that lightness during the sometimes gloomy weather.

Over the last months I've collected some lovely pastel colour garments and accessories I'm glad I did ,perfect timing I must say.

What do you think of wearing pastels in a/w?? thoughts leave it in a comment below. Show me your outfits tweet me @thefabdiary I would love to see how you styled your pastel garments or even tweet me your pastel finds whether its shoes , earrings even socks haha.

Till next time..

Stay Fabulous

Denim On Denim DO's and DON'TS

Hey lovelies hope you all had a great week so far its almost weekend yay! just 2 days hang in there.

I've seen lately browsing through magazines and going through tweets to see that denim is going nowhere and seems to hit bigger for the autumn winter season coming up. Yes we all know we cannot go without our denims especially our jean right?? But lets face it denim is FOREVER.

In this post I'm going to focus more on the denim on denim aspect , as I actually love the 'look'.
I'm going to be discussing the do's and don'ts of wearing denim on denim from my point of view. So here it goes..

DO's

• Do break your denims with bright colour accessories (shoes,bag ect).
• Its always a good idea to break it with the colour tan.
• I feel that breaking denim with a nude shoe always does the trick and keeping accessories simple.
• I would also go with a dramatic print shoe(leopard print or so).
• Pairing a blazer with your denim-on-denim look will add more fun like a bright pink would be for fun or settle for white do keep it sophisticated. 

DON'TS

• NEVER wear the same denim tone together its a huge NO NO. 

So looking at my points above, I see my DO's seem to be greater than my DON'TS points, so for those that are too afraid of rocking this look why not give it a try? By following some of the points in the DO's I'm sure you'll be rocking the denim-on-denim look. 

Here is some images to get you started:

Denims are fun to play with,so have fun. What are your do's and don'ts of wearing denim?

Hope you enjoyed this post , thanks for reading.

DIY : Turban Style

Bad hair day?? No need to stress, just add a turban to your head and you can turn heads. Grab your headscarf or 'doek' as some may call it or ready bought turban and get your styling on. There are various ways in which one can style your turban leaving your head looking fashionable as ever.

The turban trend seems to fit into all four seasons of the year hot or cold it seems to work for all occasions. I love the fact that it can add so much edge to an outfit , I've been so obsessed with turbans but don't find the courage to wear one and go out in public because personally I don't think it 'suit me' but I still love it and admire how great people look in their styled turbans.

Feeling lazy and don't feel like using a headscarf to make a turban? Well you know those plain coloured ready made turbans (you can just put on your head like a cap) that you can easily find at markets for R20 or more, which will also work well for a bad hair day.

I also decided to show and share a quick and easy DIY way to make a ready bought turban cap look chic.

All you need:

Broach of your choice   

Ready bought turban 

I love this broach because it has a vintage look.

Choose turban colour of your choice, so many to choose from ..I love this colour it will lighten up an outfit.

Attach Broach to the center , be careful not to hurt yourself.

Quick DIY embellished turban.

And your DIY turban is complete :) (psst don't you love my model haha)

Tip: Be creative by adding flowers , head chains, or whatever you feel just be creative.

Here are some turban pics for more inspiration :

There are so many other ways one can style a turban than in the pics above, these are just some of my favorites I came across. (I do not take credit for these images)

Hope You enjoyed this post .. How do you rock your turban?? (Tweet some pics to me, I would love to see)
