Fancy Friday - Grey, green and blue
It was a day for socks. Yep, and you know I'm not big on socks, though yo wouldnt think looking into my sock drawer.. See, in true Cape Town style the weather had turned on us and dropped 10deg over night, but it was still fancy friday. I started this outfit with the socks, because … Continue reading Fancy Friday - Grey, green and blue
Deep V and deep purple
How do you stay fancy without sweating all day? It's a real thing. As the weather starts heating up here on the tip of Africa I start finding it more difficult to wear a tie. A tie is a little too close to a mini mini scarf...and sometimes your neck just wants to see a … Continue reading Deep V and deep purple
Old Tee and new laces
This was the first of the most beautiful days here in Cape Town. It was definitely T-shirt time. And there is only 1 T-Shirt that sits at the top of my T-shirt pile. It's this guy. It's so old now it's stretches for miles, it's stained and has holes in it! Yessssss! Perfect! Don't get … Continue reading Old Tee and new laces
Bow tie and gingham
What's not to like about gingham? Nothing I say. Gingham is without a doubt my go to shirt pattern. It's like a pattern that's also a flat colour. It allows you to mix it with any other pattern given that there is some continuation of colour. Moral of the story, if you only but gingham … Continue reading Bow tie and gingham
Tan and stripes
I've been wanting to wear this tie for ages now. So I decided I would. A little bit of camel to stay with the seasons trend and my newest fun trick of matching laces to...anything else Im wearing and voila. Now, I'm not saying I nailed this one, and Instagram is usually a good indication … Continue reading Tan and stripes
Biker preppy
There is nothing I have wanted more than to ride my vespa at the coast. Yesssss. So on the odd occasion that we get a good day here, I'm owning it. This was that day. It was awesome. Getting dressed for the ride can be tricky though, for those of you who've been following a … Continue reading Biker preppy
#Fancy Friday - Blue and Red
With life returning to normal we've decided to reinstate #FancyFriday. There's just something awesome about dressing up, for no reason and some of our instagram followers seem to agree. Today I was going with preppy, and nothing says preppy like some khaki chinos and wingtips. To that just add some blue and red (cant EVER … Continue reading #Fancy Friday - Blue and Red
Folding a pocket square - The two point fold
The 2 point fold. The second in my series of pocket square folds. (sorry its taken so long) This one is quite easy, well, they're all pretty easy to be honest, but I'm hoping these tutorials make it even easier. I've got more coming so sit tight. I found this fold works best with a … Continue reading Folding a pocket square - The two point fold
Chilly Green
The green jumper. That's what started this outfit. It was gonna be a sunny day, cold, but sunny! I was hoping the bright colours would make me feel summery and warm. They didn't. But I was super happy with the way this came together. I was also lucky enough that I owned a pocket square … Continue reading Chilly Green
