Gold chains and high waisted jeans

Model and clothing: Hombakazi Vintage Cabin

This summer is all about gold and pastel colours such as light peach,beige,light yellows and mild colours.Regardless of your skin tone gold brings out your outfit and enhances your features.This season is all about chunky gold chains matched with a simple plain coloured top together with highwaisted jeans and ofcourse a dash of bold lipstick. The one thing you should never be seen around wearing is a flowered two piece that looks like it was taken right from a botanical garden. Wear colours that enhance your features and bring out your figure regardless of your size. Gold chains can be purchased anywhere in Oxford Street between R45-R70

Leather pleather whatever!

The hottest trend this season is leather. It really doesnt matter if it's fake or real just as long as it looks like leather.This trend comes in pleated skirts,A-line skirts,highwaisted shorts and pants.The colours vary from the most common colour being black and tan; there is definitely no boundaries to the colour you should choose, the brighter the colour the more quirky and fashionable it will be.The only down-side of this trend is that it can get really hot and sweaty inside those pants or skirts but who cares if you're going to look gorgeous?!

This look is an absolute YES-YES,you can't go wrong with leather unless you're wearing it with a top made out of dirty baby nappies then that's another issue for another day. Leather is one of those items you should never throw away because it adds personality to an outfit and simply because it's as classic as the ever so popular,the LBD ( Little Black Dress).
