Fabulous Faux Fur : How To

It’s Winter again! Time to pack away your summer dresses and swop them for soft, comfy, luxurious layers.

Year after year the ‘faux fur’ jacket continues to trend – sure, it keeps you warm – but it also tends to make one feel like a rapper in a 90’s Diddy music video – Winning at Life! Here are the two faux fur trends I am inlove with – and how to make them your own – let the models, celebs and street style fashionistas inspire you!

A Look into my Wardrobe with Glamour Magazine SA

Recently I had the greatest pleasure of sharing a few of my favourite looks with Glamour Magazine. We were limited to choosing only one pic per look which was so tough – so I thought I’d take the opportunity to post some exclusive photos and tell you a little more about these beautiful garments and accecories!

PLEATED

Pleats first returned to the world’s runways in S/S 2014, previously associated with your gran’s thick skirts or school girl uniforms, this trend has trickled down from the runway to main stream fashion.

Capes aren’t just for Superheroes

It’s not about Batman or Superman, it’s about a hot new trend that’s showing up on red carpets all over the world! INCASE YOU MISSED THE MEMO : CAPES ARE IN, and I’m going to show you how to style it on that glam night out, or with your ripped blue jeans!

Inspired by the East

Who could forget the iconic scene in Sex and the City 2, when Carrie and her squad walked through the exotic Abu Dhabi desert dressed head to toe in the most Fabulous Modest fashion.

Couture houses have been selling luxury modest fashion to wealthy women from the Middle East for years. Now A-list designers and mass-market retailers are taking notice of this market — such as DKNY, Tommy Hilfiger, Oscar de la Renta, Zara, Mango — by producing one-off collections for the Islamic month of Ramadan.

The Return of The Onepiece Swimsuit

Step aside tiny little bikini, the one-piece swimsuit is back with a BANG, and is adorning bodies of  the hottest models on the ramp, and celebs on the beach! Here is all you need to know about this super sexy trend!

Off the Shoulder- One of 2016’s BIGGEST Runway Trends

Spring is here my lovelies!! I cannot describe how happy it makes me that we finally get to shed those heavy winter coats in exchange for light and airy fabrics! For those of us that indulged a bit too much this winter, you will LOVE this season’s fresh new take on denim – the off the shoulder denim dress

The Perfect shade of Red

Dress by Infin8ti, Shoes – Cotton On

Red lipstick is like the little black dress or perfect strand of pearls, bringing sophistication or sultriness to an evening look. It’s definitely one of the sexiest, if not the sexiest lipstick shade.

WHITE HOT! All white Fashion Inspiration

With Spring right around the corner, all white is a trend I am INLOVE with! It’s cool, fresh and crisp, and as always I take my inspiration from the runway and the red carpet. Here’s how to do it right!

ON THE RAMP

“There’s something about an all-white ensemble that keeps things simple, yet chic, and is an easy way to look fresh all year long.” – Harpers Bazar

STREET STYLE

Check out the best white-on-white fashion inspiration, straight from these street style fashionistas! 

WHY WE LOVE WHITE!

There are certain pieces in white that will NEVER go out of style – a crisp white cotton shirt,and a simple V-neck Tee are must haves in every woman’s closet. Paired with ripped white denims and a nude heel, you can’t go wrong. But there is so much more to this incredibly chic colour trend like precisely tailored white suits, or a white trench coat as opposed to the regular khaki trench.  WE LOVE that  boho-gypsy skirts and dresses and are back in.

CELEB STYLE

From flowy Grecian inspired frocks, to figure hugging jumpsuits, all white is alright for Hollywood’s biggest stars! The beautiful thing about all-white is that it flatters all skin tones! Complete your look with metallic accesories – gold, silver and rose gold, or go bold with a bright shoe like our style darling Kerry Washington (seen above).

MY STYLE

We may be in the heart of Winter, but most designers are releasing their Spring/Summer collections – and that got me so excited! I found the perfect summer bodysuit by local design house Infin8ti. These are not available in YDE stores yet, but it gives us all something to look forward to! Please Summer, Do Hurry!

How To : Sexy Sweats!

 

It is slightly frowned upon to arrive at the office in your loungewear (aka ‘sweats)’but designers like Isabel Marant and Alexander Wang are changing that all! Now, much to my pure joy and satisfaction, sweatpants are getting their moment in the spotlight.
