Fashion At The Grammys!

Gravity-defying hair, lots of bling and Hollywood's favourites decked out in their not-so-finest threads. The  2014 Grammy Awards took a place a few hours ago, and I was a tad disappointed with the red carpet looks. 

The only star who really blew me away was Beyonce, and that was a given, because she's infinite perfection these days!

Think metallic, think big big hair and think sheer gowns - the red carpet was predominantly filled with regal designs, in a somewhat played-down manner.There was no Gaga, there was no Miley - no meat dress & no twerking = let's get classy darling. 



Besides Queen B, I was rather impressed with Paris Hilton's Haus of Milani gown - she was a Snow Queen personified! Katy Perry's musical inspired Valentino Couture gown was an absolute beauty, and was what the Grammys is really about. You're dressed for an all-star, iconic affair and hold nothing back. Love. 

But, Madonna's Ralph Lauren pantsuit? Hate hate hate. I'm pretty sure she wore the same thing in her Me Against The Music video years ago, but kudos to her son for keeping things more refined.

CHASE 14. Be Exclusive.

Chase your dreams. Chase your passions. And, do it with the confidence of someone who knows what they want and how they want it. 

CHASE Apparel just unveiled their latest collection, which builds on this ethos in the most exclusive manner - by giving us must-have street wear pieces, which simultaneously feed our aspirations.


CHASE 14 features a limited range of unisex baseball tops, lycra vests, snapbacks, crop tops and cotton vests. I love the exceptionalism which comes with showcasing 5 essential wardrobe pieces at a time - how many times have you gone to a party, and spotted someone with exact same chain store knock-off as you?  





With the new CHASE range, you're given exclusivity. Individuality. Distinction. Unparalleled quality. Forget the mainstream kids and expensive brands which disrespect your identity. CHASE 14 is about wearing your vision. 

CHASE has evolved with their customers and given them what they want. With pops of lycra and a stunning unisex baseball top, you're on trend, yet maintaining the originality of a one-of-a-kind piece. Do yourself a favour and check out their new range here

Oh, and I did mention their complimentary overnight delivery service?

Willow Smith Wows in Karl Lagerfeld Shoot!

Willow Smith kind of amazes me. How is it humanely possible that a 13-year-old girl can look this edgy, yet self-contained in a photo shoot that're more Vogue than Teen Beat? This is one lil lady who never shies away from maximizing on her talents, and has become somewhat of an influential pop star in a short time. 

If you're shooting with maestro Karl Lagerfeld, then you're pretty much my icon of the moment. Willow stuns in her shoot for V Magazine, wearing pieces from high-end labels Givenchy, Chanel and her personal wardrobe. I love the fact that Willow has her own ever-evolving style, which she has embraced and built on with heaps of confidence. But, at the same time, I feel somewhat uncool and inadequate right now!

Vote February Ladies!

This year's COSMOPOLITAN Sexy Man calendar has me transfixed on Mr February. My dashing friend Ntsolo is currently sitting on the desks/walls/bedrooms of women around South Africa, and I couldn't be prouder! 
Ntsolo is no stranger to the Cape Town modelling scene, so eat your hearts out ladies - the boy's here to stay. Having recently hosted the L'Ormarins Queens Plate, Ntsolo certainly has the brawns and the brains to win this years sexiest man accolade! 

Head over to http://cosmosexyman.co.za/ and cast your vote now! Alternatively, SMS " COSMO Sexy Ntsolo" followed by your name, surname & email address to 35441. SMSs are charged at R1, 50 across all networks.
Here is an excerpt from Ntsolo's interview with COSMOPOLITAN :)
What does ‘sexy’ mean to you?
Sexy for me is someone who radiates genuine confidence, is endowed with an intelligent sense of humour, but above all, maintains a strong sense of self.
Beach party or quiet night in?
I would have to say that since moving to Cape Town with its beautiful beaches, it has to be the beach for me.
Is there a number-one girl in your life?
On the romance side, there’s no girlfriend at the moment, but I think I should take this opportunity to be cheesy and state that my mother is the number-one woman in my life *cheesy smile*.

DKNY Does NYC Chic.

I literally drooled over this stunning DKNY 2014 campaign, which features some of my favourite people taking over Times Square in various pieces of Summer love. 

The campaign stars Cara Delevingne, Jourdan Dunn, Eliza Cummings, rapper A$AP Rocky and skater Dylan Rieder in an array of striking images and colourful clothing. I'm in love with the graphic prints and pops of colour, which really allows the collection to stand out on those laid-back Summer days! 

This ad campaign is definitely my new favourite reason to visit the Big Apple. Give. Me. More.

Totally fetch darling.

Despite the fact that I cringed at some die-hard fans punting Mean Girls as the "greatest movie of all time", I'm still quite taken with this capsule collection from LA based jewelry line, Stella and Bow.

They've channelled the greatest one-liners from the movie, and transformed them into beautiful pieces of jewelry. Cuffs, rings and frenemy bracelets are what they're all about, and serve as a sartorial reminder of why we're glad that our teen years are over.

The only thing missing from this rather spirited line is Glen Coco. Shame.






Say Hello To Lottie Moss.

Kate Moss's little sister is quite the looker if these pictures are anything to go by. 

The 16-year-old has just been signed to Storm Model Management, which alludes to the idea that the little lady may be following in her big sister's gorgeous footsteps! 


This is one gene pool I really wouldn't mind getting caught up in.
