Summer Trends

Just when I think that the hot weather is here to stay,cue;endless rain and cloudy skies.Regardless,I have decided to embrace my summer with the latest trends.The following are basics,with a twist..Here are some of my MUST-have items for the scorchers ahead!

What I love about this seasons trend is that,no matter what you pull out of your cupboard (provided it aint black,grey,brown etc),it's IN.Who would have thought we'd be wearing pink pants again ;)

 Boys carry knives,we carry our massive rings!Weapons of mass destruction,yes,but adorably girlish at the same time.I am crazy for beeeg blingy rings.Who doesn't enjoy tapping on that stylish Samsung S3 or scrolling on the iPad with sparkly fingers?

 

Too delicious for words.Everywhere I go,these two colours seem to pop out at me.So when i spotted a lovely satin camisole with this combo,I knew I had to have it.Combine these two hue's in any way,and you sure to make a statement.

 

 

Pretty scarves,wrapped around your head as a turban,draped on as a hijaab or simply as an accessory,loose around the neck,scarves are stylish and add a special touch to any outfit.

 

 

 

I read somewhere that Wearing sunglasses is like facebook in real life. you can stare at people without them knowing.

Ha!Although I wouldn't approve of stalking,I am attached to my sunglasses.This summer,along with our bright colour-blocking,let's try something quirky with our shades!

Heart or other shape sunnies are adorable,however,it doesn't always suit every face shape.If you love them anyway,just perch them ontop of your hijaab.

Or if you don't want them to be just decorations,buy a timeless shape,with a colour frame.Too pretty not to.
What are your favourites for this summer?

Take Your Time,Summer

Someone buy the Weather a calender!The past week,we've been experiencing the craziest weather.Hot and humid,rain and storm,then cold and wintry.When Spring began,I remember everyone complaining that we had just jumped straight into summer,well,here's your Spring,South Africa!

We really are never satisfied,are we..

Anyway,the change in weather has frozen my brain and my ability to think,hence,no new posts in such a long time.Also,there are major renovations going on and who can concentrate with that constant BANG BANG BANG or nephews and nieces running around screaming to the beat?

So,while I plug in my ear-phones,lock my door and slip on a jersey,my mind is very very far away ------->

Ahhhh...think huge sunglasses,a lovely coral lipstick,a summery turban with a ultra-stylish floppy hat over,my favourite magazine and miles of beach....

Turbans: Hijaab Trend?

I've been fascinated with the latest hijaab trend: Turbans. At first,I was convinced it would just not suit me,despite lovin' the whole look.But then a very daring friend tried it out on me and - ta da!I couldn't get enough of it.I spent literally the entire night trying to perfect it,much to my husbands amusement.


However,I'm not entirely convinced about the whole open-neck aspect.If you are used to covering up,then maybe the end pieces could be brought over to cover the neck.Alternatively,you could wear a polar neck,high collar or a big bling choker to cover up..Let me know what you think.


Here are some hijaab inspirations:

This looks gorgeous: Wrap a brightly (preferably contrasting) coloured scarf around the neck
