Trend : Culottes

Hi Lovely Beauties

Lately I've been living in my culotte pants and my collection is kinda growing, they just too comfortable and I think I'm obsessed all over again.... let me give you a little back story going back to my childhood I remember owning a denim pair that I wore all the time I mean ALL the time with my ridiculous pink sneakers and colourful type jerseys haha... but as I got older I grew out of wide style  - palazzo , pajama pants as some call it and thought its not such a cool vibe and switched over to the SKINNY LEG , come on I know you did too. 

Anyway flash forward to 2018 the CULOTTE has become one of the most popular trends in my opinion seeing it at many fashion outlets and I must say I think it's here to stay throughout 2019 into our autumn/winter season back to spring/summer this year. 

Here is a look I wore to a wedding on how I styled my pleated culottes let me know what you think?

I'm excited to style my culotte pants for the upcoming autumn/winter season . If you would like a post on how to style culottes or just a general lookpost to see how else I styled it , let me know.

Are you a fan of the culotte trend? let me know in the comments below :)

#OOTD - How I Styled my Paper Bag Pants

Hello Beauties !

Omg its been months , yes I am alive and I miss this little space of mine. I don't know why but I just could not get myself to sit by the computer and write something , one moment I'm feeling inspired one minute totally uninspired. Does this happen to you too?

Anyway ... I've come back with a OOTD for ya'll yay I know you like them. In today's post I will be showing you how I styled my paper-bag pants.

Firstly I love how comfortable these pants are, comfy and versatile which I think you can dress up and down. In the look below I dressed for a wedding so I styled it with a pair of block heels (yup comfort yo girl ain't got time for that stilettos) along with a cute light weight top from poetry which i tucked in my pants along with the straw woven bag which I found on the flea market for R40 can you believe it? I then put my hair in a top knot with some cool handmade beaded earrings.

No clue what to style your paper-bag pants with? Here are some tips

• Give some edge with a leather jacket.
• A white shirt , this will make you look chic as ever.
• Plain white tee and heels (plain but simple outgoing look agree?)
• Add funky accessories to your look.

Please show me how you styled you paper-bag pants . If you loved my look let me know via social media or comment below would love to hear your thoughts.

Secretly Missing Summer

H E L L O my beauties

Is this really my first post for the year? I can't believe it and the fact that we past the half of the year already, I feel so guilty but you know sometimes life can get too busy .. I know I know I say this all the time whenever I'm on some break , no excuses but I want to try and create good content than for the sake of posting. 

Damn.... its been a while since I had time to sit and actually write something for you. After a few days of coldness the weekend past we were surprised by some wonderful sunshine and warmth and I must say I'm secretly missing summer although I do enjoy winter days.

Now into the next weekend I am still trying to finish off this post and thought it would be perfect because its a beautiful rainy Friday afternoon, everyone is in their own space and I thought its perfect to finish up this post that I've been trying to get up for the longest time ever.

These are a few pictures I took not to long back , basically the last days of summer , and thought it perfectly suits the idea of this post.

Also.. I am currently loving the EMBROIDERY TREND and trying to find pieces with awesome embroidery.

 

What is your favourite - Winter days or Summer Days? also what do you think of the embroidery trend? too much or loving it :)

What I'm wearing :
Jumper : Up To Date Closet
Bag : Practical Gifts
Sneakers : Adidas Stan Smith
Earrings : Chokers and Statements (Made by myself 😃)

I hope you missed me as I missed my little blogging space haha let me know and you can also keep up with me on Insta @nabeelahisaacs. Have a lovely weekend.

Stay Fabulous

Style Tips : Transition From Winter to Spring

I know some of you might find it difficult to put your spring wardrobe together after the winter season and because we not in full spring mode yet because the weather in Cape Town can be quite confusing.

Here are some pieces that I think will get you from Winter to Spring. 

Light Jerseys

Because its not completely spring and the chill in the air can become cold, it is good to have about three jerseys that are versatile to mix in your wardrobe.

Pumps

As we slowly packing those boots away we slowly start bring out pumps as the days can get warmer. It's the perfect transitional piece because your feet is still semi covered.

Sandals

I'm going crazy seeing all the beautiful sandals in stores at the moment from simple ones to bold ones , it's always nice to have a new sandal to kick off the summer season. 

Denim Jacket

I really did not make a mistake to get a denim jacket its become such a statement piece I'm wearing it all seasons #fact. I would say if you don't have one yet please girllll... do me a favour get yourself one and you will thank me (haha).

Stripe T-shirt/Sweater

I'm so happy that I stocked a few stripe sweaters now, for me stripes seem to add to the spring look and has made it rounds to the season over and over again, it is also a statement piece for the wardrobe which I think you can also wear all year round.

White Sneakers

Guys if you don't know me I cannot survive without white sneakers currently my All Stars are in a mess but luckly I have my Adidas to fill in which is btw very comfy , anyway if you not keen on wearing bold sneakers always opt for white because they are safe and go with anything.

Bold Jewelry 

There are sooo much trending jewelry pieces at the moment , I would say play around with different styles and see what style suits you best. I'm loving tassels at the moment.

About this look:

My look below is very simple and what I prefer and a very basic #OOTD , it was quit chilly although it seems like the sun is out and about. I,m totally love my witchery jersey I also received as a gift its not a heavy weight jersey paired along with my denim jean and jacket and sunnies obviously , soo this is my basic transitional outfit.

   

I did a similar post last year on other pieces I mentioned to get you from winter to spring (Click here).

I hope you enjoyed this post and I helped you in a way because i know it can be tricky to change up your wardrobe , feel free to comment below and let me know if you also find it tricky to change your wardrobe from winter to spring. 

What I'm Wearing

Jersey : Witchery

Jean: Levi

Bag : Market

Shoes : Adidas Stan Smith

Sunglasses : H&M

Summer Trends

Hi Lovelies.

Gosh..it feels good to be sitting behind the PC again just blogging because I have some free time , which is very rare these days because I'm constantly just caught up with day to day things, I hardly have time to sit and blog (sigh).

Anyway since I'm here I figured I compile a little What's Trending This Summer collage of what is in store at the moment and what I think is the HOT items for the summer season.

1. Earrings - H&M R149
These tassel earrings seem to be super popular lately , I've seen many bloggers and fashionistas rocking it. These earrings are a great statement to add to an outfit. I'm really contemplating on getting me a pair.

2. Sunglasses - Miss Maxi R229 (Can be purchased on Zando)
Im loving reflective lenses it updates your look instantly and gosh you guys know how much I love my sunglasses, I really need to start collecting them without one going missing or breaking before purchasing the next pair. You will find a range of colours available at most stores, girrl you gotta get you a pair you will not be sorry trust me.

3. Dress - Mr Price R159.99
The cold shoulder , bare shoulder trend is definatly the summer trend and this dress from Mr Price is soo cute I'm thinking of purchasing it myself. If you see yourself rocking this trend there are a variety of stores that you can spot bare shoulder tops/dresses.

4. Bag - Mr Price R159.99
Ok the bag may not be a trend but the colour Rose Gold and Mettallic feel is surely making a statement in fashion from jackets , sandals , jewls you name it, own anything in rose gold or mettallic you winning. I think this bag is actually cool for packing your belongings in for a day out.

5. Colourful necklaces and chokers
I'm really loving the jewellry this season soo many colours and funky designs and the brighter the better. Then... the choker trend which has been even bigger than before in my opinion and is not going anywhere soon , we did see it in winter but the trend is still going strong and think it will surely stick around for all seasons to come.

6. Shoes - Espadril R599
I NEED!!!! Ladies don't you think these shoes are amazing ? I really want to purchase every design from ESPADRIL each pair is hand made how awesome? I need to save ASAP I hope I own a pair soon. I see many stores stocking all kinds of espadrilles soo have a look around there are some affordable ones out there because the are super trendy this summer.

7. Shorts - Mr Price R159.99
Im really loving the lace detail that is being incorporated into clothing pieces lately I think it gives summer a fresh look. The boho trend seems to be dominating fashion lately I'm loving it.

There you have it my top trending pieces for the summer and where you can find them. What trends are you loving this summer?? :)

#OOTD Tan Overload

Hello .... is it Monday already?? Damn where did the weekend goo!

Anyway...I ended the weekend off with a lovely afternoon stroll on the beach with the family.

About my Look: 

Soo I've been thinking and my tan shoes from Foschini is going to be a huge part of my summer wardrobe and have a feeling I'll probably be pairing it with everything besides my white sneakers that will always make an appearance. What I'm actually saying is that if you don't have a pair of tan shoes/sandals girrrrl you gotta get a pair asap. I also think I will be stocking up a lot of white tops , I see many pretty lace tops in store at the moment I need to get my hands on one. If you a girl like me that can sometimes be very lazy to to chop and change bags or accessories daily then stick to tans , black or neutrals as I did with my bag , sunnies and cap then you good to goo and can pair it with almost all your outfits. I'm also on the search for a good denim jean any suggestions?as I desperately need one because I basically took this one from my sister before she put it in the throw out pile, but I love it because I like the fit (the struggle to find a jean that fit me properly)

I then went online browsing again and thought I'd re-create my look and gathered items similar to my #OOTD look to help you get your basics for spring/summer.  

1. Sunglasses - Mr Price R59.99

2. Lace Top - Mr Price R89.99

3. Shoulder Bag - H&M R229

4. Straw Hat -H&M R249 (could not find a cap similar to mine but you will find at cotton on ...but on     the bright side a straw hat would look perfect too)

5. Denims - Foschini R550 

6. Tan Sandal - Poetry R799

I hope you enjoyed this post , thanks for reading and have a great Monday.

Stay Fabulous

Pop Of Spring

Hey lovelies 

Cape Town is slowly showing signs of warmer weather but Sunday was just lovely, it was all sunshine in the Mother City and the day could not be wasted at home. It was a well spent afternoon having late lunch with the family in Hout Bay catching up and enjoying the scenery.

I'm so excited for the upcoming season as we see lots of lighter colour clothing in stores that just scream spring/summer which is super exciting. I seriously need a shopping spree, I'm already eyeing so many items in store from quirky shoes to beautiful dresses.

Having trouble transitioning from winter to spring? Here are some must haves just to get you started:

• White Jean
• Versitile Sandle / Shoe or Sneaker 
• White Shirt 
• Maxi Dress
• Sunglasses

then... obviously there are the trending items such as the off the shoulder tops , pajama like pants with the funky patterns which you can buy in between if its your style or if you have a little extra cash to splurge.

In my look below I'm wearing my super comfy white jegging , a white top and layered it with a super lightweight peach jersey paired with my new favourite tan sandle (did you notice? I'm not wearing sneakers lol) and a backpack to complete the look along with a bold statement to break the outfit a bit and duuhh cannot leave those sunnies behind. It was refreshing dressing in lighter colours and weird wearing sandles after a long long time...yay! bring on those summer days. 

Hope you enjoyed this post , thanks for reading and Have a lovely Tuesday :) 

What I'm Wearing 

Jersey : Woolworths

Jegging : PNP Clothing

Shoes : Foschini

Bag : The Fix

Sunnies : Edgars

White Top : Practical Gifts (old)

Stay Fabulous

Getting into 2016

Hey Lovelies

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I'm rather late hey but damn I'm feeling lazy from the festive season which has long past as things are definitely back to normal in the Mother City.

So I think I've taken January as an extended holiday trying to get myself back together and need to be focused once again as we head into 2016.

Here are a few things I would like to do in 2016:

• Read some books (actual hard copies)
• Take up a new hobby 
• Start doing some form of exercise even if I start out with walking.
• Be more consistent with my blog(hopefully!)

besides those few points mentioned there are so many things I'm hoping to achieve but I will take it one day at a time. 

I thought to get things swinging again I decided to shoot a look post to get myself back into the blogging mode just to keep me motivated.

In my look below I'm wearing these awesome lace up flats from Mr Price that I'm totally obsessed with paired with a retro printed skirt which was given to me along with a plain black basic tee and some gold accessories and my tassel bag also from Mr P that I love to bits.

Anyway I just want to wish everyone all the best with the year ahead and may 2016 only bring you nothing but joy.

Trend : 70's Fashion

Hello Lovelies



The trend which is strongly alive right now is the '70's Trend'. Every shop you walk into you bound to find some fringe , tassels , round sunnies, chokers and not forgetting those flare pants catching your eye. There are so many pieces you can add to the list that will give you that 70's feel.

My opinion about the whole 70's revival this season is that I absolutely LOVE it, the look is super laid back. I love the different textures , retro prints , layered jewelry and effortless hair.

What do you think of the 70's trend? Have you purchased any cool pieces let me know or tweet me some pics.

I spotted some awesome pieces at Mr Price , Fashion Express , H&M so go check it out.

Have a fab Tuesday.

Trend : BOHO Marks

Its been the most HOT fashionable item recently and its going to remain so for the rest of the summer.

I like the fact that these 'Temporary tattoos' as they call it lasts about 4-7 days or so depending on how you maintain it. I think its fun and quirky because it comes in funky patterns that are silver and gold in colour and I see that it comes in a combination of blue and silver too which is different from the normal dull looking tattoos and the metallic factor just makes it more outstanding.

I haven't got my hands on these cool looking tattoos but by the looks of it everybody wants to get them and by the reviews I have read its certainly a summer MUST HAVE.

Would you wear these temporary tattoos? If so you can tweet me some pics @thefabdiary if you have your hands on them already.

I have come across a page on Facebook they are a South African Distributor selling these temporary tattoos visit their page - BOHO MARKS FACEBOOK PAGE.

MR Price are also stocking these for ONLY R29.99 defz a bargain.

I do not take any credit for the images used in this post.

Stay Fabulous
