What I Wore on Friday Night


Last night I went out and met up with an old friend of mine called, Gustav, who was visiting town. 
I hadn't seen this guy in such a long time so I was really excited to catch up with him and have a good bottle of wine. 

The outfit I wore, I have just realized, is all proudly South African! 




The place we went to was very la-dee-da.






What I Wore:
Floral Dress - Edgars
Tights - Woolworths
Heels - Mr. Price

Fashion | Peplum Top

Three days ago I decided to do a quick dash into Mr. Price to stock up on some winter cardigans for my London escapade coming up in about 50 days, 17 hours and 20 minutes, (but hey, whose counting!?).

I've seen peplum tops around other bloggers fashion posts but I haven't really been too crazy about them to be honest.
I thought I'd try one on while I was in the store, as I've recently discovered not to judge books by their covers. A wedding dress I thought to be hideous turned out to be 'not-so-bad' when I tried it on in the bridal boutique last week! 
 
This peplum top was plain white and had an almost 'country-girl' feel to it.
I also tried on a red, high-waisted skirt... (not eactly cardigan shopping now, is it?)
 
You can't really see the peplum shirt style in this photograph but I decided to add in what I wore here because it shows you a different way to wear it:


So that was my outfit! I've also really enjoyed just lounging around the house in this vest like piece. It's really comfortable and can be worn in so many different ways; they are cheap too! Unless you buy brands that is, which I don't... because a) I cannot afford them and b) even if I could, I would much rather save my bucks to do further travelling rather than buy something because it has the word 'Guess' on it. Everyone has different priorities I suppose!
 
Along one of my many hunts through the world of Pintrest I found some great Peplum tops and I also added my finds below for alternate designs and ways to wear them:
 





 
They are so versatile and fun to play around with! I must say that I really love the boob-tube fashion peplum top, that is probably my favorite from the lot.
 
Have you got any thoughts on peplum tops or found something in the fashion world that tickles your fancy lately? If so let me know!
 
I hope that everyone has a wonderful week ahead!

Outfit of the Day





Last night I had a bit of a night out on the town. To mark the occasion, I decided to haul out my ivory colored lace Mr. Price Dress which was R99.00
I paired it with six gorgeous rings. 
On my right hand I had the turquoise stone and the peace symbol rings from Mr. Price while the chunky black stone ring is a find from Primarks a few years back.
On my left hand (pictures again are taken from that of a Blackberry so I do apologize for the terrible quality,) I had a turquoise stone ring I got from Metallic Mermaid, a beautiful eternity silver ring from American Swiss and my moms old Peace ring I found covered in clay one morning whilst routing through her things.

I let the nerd in me come out as the evening progressed by putting on my retro specs from Markham's which is actually a man's store but I really like some of their accessories and hats in stock at the moment. 
My Audrey Hepburn hat also had a night out and got A LOT of attention once we hit the clubs. This hat is also from Mr. Price. 

Some guy in the club actually came up to me and told me that he has now dubbed me the new retro kid in town. What an honor! 

Hope you are all having a fantastic weekend bloggers - take lots of snaps of what you did and send me the links! Here's a few of my own snaps from last night:
