My "Field" of dreams

Why, why, why can't these be a little closer? I am in love with these three items from Patricia Field... I will keep staring at them until they are in my closet :)

First, the belt
When I saw it on Sex and the City, I had to have it and have searched high and low to find something similar - nadda! It's so, so, so gorgeous and so darn different - I haven't seen anything like it and I love how it can be worn in so many different ways.

Next, the jacket


and last, but certainly not least, this dress...

Found: Another Fabulous SA Fashion Blogger

I think it's so great that so many local gals are blogging about fashion... Fashion Jazz, Pippa Lynch, Kim Gray and Robyn Cooke are among my faves. I stumbled upon another fab African blogger, Nandi Mngonma.

Go check out her blog

I'm loving the blues...

Two blogs in one day... I'm catching up, but really, I do have a lot to say - what else is new? Lately, I have a slight (just a slight) obsession with Blue...

It started with this gorgeous pair of Electric blue Steve Madden Trinitie Platforms...


Which, I got as a gift from their lovely agency in South Africa. (They sent me a black pair as well, but it's all part of the perks of being a fashion editor heheh).

Seriously though, these heels are so comfy and the colour is so unique and amazing, Im actually too scared to wear them in case I mess them up. But on the other hand I cant wait to wear them and show them off!

Speaking of blue, what do you think of my blue nails?

This colour reminds me of bubble gum! I had to cut them shorter because long nails just looked weird this colour.. The shade is "GreenPort" by Essie

The super boot - can you go any higher?

First, I must apologise for not blogging more often, duty calls! However, you'll be pleased to know that I have been working on the October GLOSSY magazine and also giving StyleScoop a hot new look. Go check it out!

Sky high, over the knee boots are hot, hot, hot for Fall 2009/10, which means they will probably be super hot for us on the other side of the equator come July 2010. Remember that's around the same time as the World Cup Soccer here in sunny SA, so hopefully the international fashionista's will strut their stuff while their guys catch the game. Girls, please bring along all your fabulous shoes, I will gladly take them off your hands. I wear a size 39 or US 8 :-)

Anyway, back to the boots... how devilishly hot are these Bebe Fabiana boots?


Or these...

I found these babies via one of my favourite blogs - The Shoe Girl. They are by Stella McCartney and as you can see go way, way, way beyond the knee. They do make a flipping sexy, seamless tights/hot heel combo. I don't know if I'd wear them, but they look absolutely amazing!

That's them on the catwalk. You can't even tell they are shoes at first glance.

Now, something I would definitely wear and it fits in purrfectly with the whole versatility thing are these leather leg warmers from Fendi. Yes, I said it out loud - I love leg warmers, but only if they are hot as these...

Worn with the right shoes, which have got to be super high, concealed platforms, then these look ammmmmazing!

The first time I spotted them was in the Fendi ad in the September British Vogue. Model Jessica Stam looks amazing - that whole look...Sensational! I must have these!

By the way, apparently Chanel's front man Karl Lagerfeld was not only the creative director behind this campaign, but he photographed it too! Go Karl!!!

Friday fun

I happened to bump into this really awesome website called Looklet and had some fabulous, Friday fun putting together designer outfits in "real time"...

This is my floral with a "rock-chick" edge. I've actually been on the hunt for a studded belt and the perfect little floral dress or skirt to put a look like this together.

How sexy are those shoes?

I love this look for a night out - The dress is by Karen Miller and has a nice flash of purple - I love purple!
But it 's the back of this look that I really love! How gorgeous are those Alexander McQueen heels? I know.... I want them!

And a trend I am very drawn to at the moment is layering a long tank over a sexy black top, with simple black heels, black shades, some leather or wet-look pants and lots and lots of layered necklaces like this..

My babies...

Today when I went into Aldo, I couldn't control myself. Usually, I go in, see a pair of shoes I love, think about them, then go back, think about them again, and then decide if I'll get them or not - I want to be sure you know!? Now, I must admit oftentimes I leave the thinking a bit too long and before I know it someone else has zapped all the size sixes - one of the beauties of having a "common sized foot".

Well today, I walked in, spotted these babies and ...

Now they're mine!

I couldn't resist and can you honestly blame me? I mean they are H-O-T! Super high, super sexy, super comfy and just plain fabulous!

The only thing that remains is finding the perfect outfit and an excuse to wear them. But, they look great with jeans too, so I don't think they'll stay brand new for too long :)

New York, New York

You've just got to love New York (not that I've ever been, but that city calls me every day!).

Then again, what's not to love? In New York you get Times Square... Sex and The City..... Manhattans and Cosmopolitans... shopping and designer labels lining the streets. But there is also the most important event in the fashion calendar.... The Mercedes Benz New York Fashion week and it kicks off today!
