EARTHADDICT Winter Fashion

The cold winter weather in on its way! The mornings are darker and there is a definte chill in the air. It is time to haul out your winter wardrobe, dust of your boots and get ready for the chilly months ahead. Some of my fashion favourites for winter are long T’s and leggings, worn with boots and an oversized chunky knit.

A brand which I am loving at the moment is EARTHADDICT clothing! EARTHADDICT clothing draws its inspiration from the Earth, distilling pure and natural design cues into a distinctive range of leisurewear for women. The brand draws upon a natural palette, and translates the unique colours of a river pebble, rain cloud or an autumn leaf into its stores and clothing.

While scouting for items for my winter wardrobe I found the perfect pair of long leggings and a long-sleeved fitted T, in their Raven colour pallette. Both the leggings and the T are from the EARTHADDICT Classic Range and are made from 100% organic cotton – making them super soft and comfy! They are a perfect addition to my winter wardrobe!

EARTHADDICT use 100% organic cotton wherever possible, which is grown without the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, which is much kinder to the environment!

Silver Fig Jewellery

I love jewellery and have many different pieces but I have been searching for that “statement” necklace; something special and meaningful but also something I can wear everyday, if I so wished!

Imagine my delight when I found Silver Fig Jewellery! Silver Fig offer a stunning, original silver jewellery range, designed and hand-crafted by Neil Miller in his Johannesburg studio.

Silver Fig was founded in 2010 by husband and wife team Heather and Neil Miller. Silver Fig culminated in the couple’s combined experience of over 22 years in the jewellery industry, in management and design respectively, living and working in Johannesburg, London, Paris and New York directly for leading brands Debeers LV, Asprey & Garrard, Bulgari and Tiffany & Co., and later for a boutique workshop in London’s Hatton Garden.

Neil’s vast experience, as an independent designer, married with a unique and individual approach to silver-crafting has resulted in a unique collection of silver jewellery. His creations are inspired by travel throughout Africa, which combine nature and good-luck charms to create beautiful sterling silver necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Silver Fig Jewellery is currently available in 15 stores throughout South Africa.

Their jewellery has been featured in Elle, Marie Claire, Grazia, Glamour, Woman & Home, OK magazine and is loved by celebs such as Kate Moss, who is a fan of their Impala pendant.

My favourite piece from their collection, is the Wishbone Pendant(seen above and below), which I received last week, in this pretty pink pouch. I am loving it and have received so many compliments since I have started wearing it. The pendant is beautifully made and I know it is something I am going to treasure forever!

Style by Super Mom – Red Hot Fashion

Red is one of my favourite colours to wear especially in winter! Much like other bright colours it seems to lift your mood just by putting it on. Red is a great statement colour and as long as you get the shade right, it looks good on everyone.

I have already started scouting the shops for items for the new season and red and navy are definitely two colours that are trending for Autumn and Winter 2013. Below are a few of my Red Hot Finds – a super cute Patterned Navy and Red Blouse with Birds from Woolworths – I love the neckline and the cuffs. I also found this Three-quarter Sleeve Red T-Shirt at Woolworths, which looks great with dark and light denim. For a smarter look wear it under a navy blazer. The skinny jeans are by Country Road, also from Woolworths.

Wearing red is something that I have always enjoyed but I have struggled to find a red lipstick that suits me and does not stain my lips for days after wearing it! After much searching, I decided to consult my makeup guru, Kirsten, who just happens to be my sister in-law, who steered me in the direction – MAC Cosmetics. Success!!! I managed to find the colour – Russian Red, a Matte MAC lipstick, and it is amazing! To find out more about how to apply “the perfect red lip” visit Kirsten’s website by clicking here.

In keeping with the Red Hot theme is one of my favourite Essie Nail Polish shades, Pouf Daddy, which in my opinion is the prettiest red shade available. Another new makeup product I have added to my collection, is the Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara – I am loving Rimmel products and they are really inexpensive, which is great!

Have a Fashionably Fabulous weekend! Please share your thoughts and comments or fashion tips below.

My Top Fashion Designers

As you may have guessed fashion is a great passion of mine and I love pouring over the latest fashion offerings, by the Top International Designers.

I have always said that one day when I grow up(hopefully sometime soon) I will own a Elie Saab creation!

These are My Top fashion Designers:

Elie Saab

He is definitely my favourite designer, I love his dreamy almost fairytale style of designing. Elie Saab’s signature has to be his exquisite beadwork and his use of lace and tulle. He named his Spring 2013 collection “An Ode to Delicateness”, with illusion necklines and sheer sleeves, his creations seem to almost float down the runway.

Marchesa

Marchesa’s 2013 RTW(Ready To Wear) collection has a definite exotic Indian flavour with hints of Bollywood – elaborate threadwork, sari draping and fringe are front and centre. The collection features rich tones such as Chartreuse, peacock, bordeaux, or eggplant tones tipped with gold. The structured sari gown below is my favourite – I love the rich tones and stunningly sexy lines of the dress.

Oscar de la Renta

The name Oscar de la Renta has always been synonymous with high fashion and his 2013 RTW collection delivers on all fashion fronts. The collection has something for everyone, from day suits in doily lace and the unusual use of fuchsia Astrakhan, to party dresses in feather-embroidered tulle. Super feminine and so pretty!

Zac Posen

Zac Posen’s 2013 RTW Collection has a definite Vintage feel to it with 1940 Skirt-suits and old school floral day dresses but my favourite part of the collection are the exquisite gowns! I particularly love his use of satin and tulle to create a dramatic contrasting silhouette.

Style by Super Mom

This weeks Style by Super Mom features a few of my style and fashion finds and the popular trend of high-low hems or shirt-tails. This trend can be seen across the fashion spectrum in shirts, skirts and dresses. I thought I would try a short-sleeved chiffon top, in classic black, from Mr Price, as my introduction into the trend. The great thing about this look is, if like me you are a tad on the short side, it is perfect because it cuts shorter in the front, making your legs look longer and it will hide a multitude of sins out back! 😉

I paired the black top with a pair of dark skinny jeans, from Woolworths and these new, super cute, black Gino Paoli pumps I just bought from Queue Shoes.

Black really is a classic colour and definitely one of my favourites for the evening or a more sophisticated day-time look. Wearing all black during the day can be quite severe but if you pair it with contrasting accessories or a bright nail polish or lip colour it can be super chic.

This gorgeous pearly lilac nail polish by Cherimoya, which I received in a goodie bag last week, is not a colour I would normally choose but I am loving it and it looks great with black! The only thing I do not like about it, is that the nail polish brush is a bit too thick.

The final touch to complete your look is a spray of your favourite fragrance and mine at the moment happens to be the Lady Gaga Fame – rather unusual because the fragrance is actually black! So SEXY!

Items: Black High-low Top R79 Mr Price, Dark Skinny Jeans R275 Woolworths, Animal Print Scarf (Gift), Black Gino Paoli Pumps R329 Queue Shoes, Two-tone Bracelet R120 Woolworths, Cherimoya Nail Polish R19.95
