Tribal Teal

Merry Christmas my dear fellow bloggers. This boho inspired outfit of the day brings a bright pop to the mukky weather we are having in our tiny blob of a country, New Zealand. Maybe my savvy teal chinos distracts the people from the glum weather for a solid 2 minutes. Maybe. The teal coloured pant offers a style transformation to the basic..BUT ESSENTIAL skinny jeans. So since summer is here in the southern hemisphere..(oh lordy...did i just rap? ...) go on and try this seasons trend of brightly coloured skinny jeans

Time to maxi-fy your wardrobe

Why not do modesty with a flare? For those lovely ladies who are leg shy ..ditch those jeans and try maxi dress or maxi skirts. These wardrobe essentials are universal and can be dressed up for a night out on town or down for a lunch date with your girls. Maxi dresses and skirts allow for the femininity of dresses/skirts and are great for those of you who are a big leg conscious.

Maxi's come in all shapes, patterns, material...whether you want floaty floral or sleek solids ...high-waisted or hip-hugging... floor length or ankle biters..maxis are a must have to update your wardrobe and can be worn throughout all seasons! I bet I'm not the only one thinking this is a total bonus. Give those pair of jeans a break and opt for a outfit transforming maxi..

For those of you who are buying your first maxi dress or skirt...remember to buy for your shape...(yes..yes..you've heard this all before..but its true!) Shape flattering pieces can be a huge pick-me-up for those days when you're running late or busy feeling plain bloated thanks to aunty flow.

For all you smaller petite girls..opts for an ankle biting maxi...floor length maxi's can result in a frumpy mess...and make you look shorter than you are..

For tall ladies ..floor length maxis can draw attention to your long limbs and make you look runway worthy

Maxi's are such a simple staple..pair it with your fav graphic t-shirt tucked it with a belt...wear it with a floaty tank and a long chunky metalic necklace...BUSTIERS! A bustier and a maxi skirt is the definition of street glam


So go on ahead...go give that maxi at the back of your closet the day out it deserves

Happy holidays everyone <3
Have a great christmas eve

Summer of 2012-2013: shorts and tank combo

To my southern hemisphere babes out there...SUMMER HAS ARRIVED...and with a hot explosion of denim, tribal and aztec with a hint of florals and pastels.  Celebs like Vanessa Hudgens and Miley Cyrus..(did not mean to go all disney on you..whoops ) have brought a new meaning to summer style for 2012/2013. These boho inspired outfits are a must for any boho chicka's wardrobe..simple and glamorous. Aint that just the best? Who doesn't love throwing on a pair of shorts and a basic tank without all the fuss of having to sort out an outfit..

The basic tank and denim shorts combo is a classic. However with this seasons tribal and aztec influences, it is so easy to update this classic and reinvent your style.

• Basic tank and shorts combo + long chunky jewelery+ a detailed pair of gladiator sandles and a designer inspired bag = insta glam!
