//174/ Look 010

Tops: Sonia by Sonia Rykiel- Heartprint silk crepe de chine blouse; Antik Batik-Embellished cotton top; Paul and Joe Sister-Clark printed silk-twill blouse

Skirt: Oscar De La Renta-Bow detailed wool-flannel skirt

Shoes: Camilla Skovgaard-Suede and metallic leather ankle boots

Sunglasses: Prada-Butterfly-frame acetate sunglasses

Laptop case: Jimmy Choo-Ryan patent-leather laptop case

//My affinity for grey has not yet subsided, but here is a more colourful combination. And that is the laptop case I would have bought if I had €425 to spare. Since I don't I settled for a significantly more inexpensive, but almost equally attractive one from Jost.

//I could not decide on the top so I decided it was time to learn how to make a GIF. (Thanks Cath). Enjoy.

//Peroxide Blonde


//PS: By now I think I would say the butterfly top is the best?

//173/ Dress: Cape Town Fashion Week 2011:Gavin Rajah

Gavin Rajah Jaipur Collection Spring/Summer 2012

//In terms of craftsmanship and originality I found Gavin Rajah's show to be the best. The clothing was just undeniably good...most of it anyway: some pieces on the other hand seemed simply horrific. It seems that when he moves away from what he does best (namely beautifully crafted, intricate dresses made of precious materials ) in an attempt to do something more outrageous, the result is somewhat disturbing and doesn't fit into the collection at all, take a look below:

//It was his rad pair of sunglasses, not his adorable smile, that caught my attention. I promise.

//Also, notice the background action, ha!

//171/ Dress: The One

Dolce & Gabbana DD 3062

//This, after a long search for a good pair of sunglasses, is the chosen one. Yes, you can ridicule me for purchasing an established brand and not something cool like Cutler and Gross, Oliver's People or some small, up-and-coming designer, but quite frankly this was the most versatile pair for the best price.  Next is this beauty, which looks simply perfect on.

Cape Town Fashion Week 2011 Highlights

//In Cape Town quality clothing and design was few and far between at the fashion show (as were high res images-sorry!) but here are some of the best looks. For some reason South African materials and finishing always look inferior and badly executed in comparison with international standards, but slowly and surely South African fashion is advancing: there are after all more than enough sources to draw inspiration from in our beautiful country. One presentation that seemed to be particularly impressing was that of David Tlale-stunning!

//In case you're wondering, I decided to do a separate post on Gavin Rajah-he is a whole nother story...
