Janes Sneak Peak

Today is blogging day... All I really feel like doing today is blogging and finding new blogs to immerse myself in.
Here is one that I found this morning - Jane and I have the exact same style, and it's great to see it in these pictures.

A game of cat and ... bird

I know it's not fashion related - but I just had to share this pic with you.
While I was away on the Vodacom shoot, my parents looked after my bird. Here he is on top of the cage while the cat was inside. Oh how the roles are reversed...

Urban Outfitters - Skirting the Issue

Check out these fabulous skirts from URBAN OUTFITTERS - Skirts in all their forms will be a huge trend this coming season - so start stocking up!

My copy of THE SARTORIALIST has arrived!

And so you know what that means...

A night in with a bottle of wine!

Mara Hoffman - NY Fashion Week

I fell in love with Mara Hoffman's latest collection at NY Fashion Week.

Her collection incorporated some classic styles (like the maxi dress, mini skirt, asymmetrical dress, etc) but her twist was the use of fabulously floaty fabrics and psychodelic prints and patterns.

Vodacom Shoot - Behind the Scenes

I had a FAB time last week styling the Vodacom shoot - although managing 30 models at a time can be quite daunting...

But I got through - thanks to my friends at Red Bull!

Here is one of the shots that we took - hopefully will be up on a billboard somewhere some time!

Vodacom Shoot

I will be styling a 4 day shoot with Vodacom from Friday til next Wednesday. It has been the quickest photoshoot preparation in history. Called on Monday, briefed at pre-prod on Tuesday, Shooting on Friday til Wed. Managing over 30 models - each of whom need to be dressed from my wardrobe library. Shew.

Here are the bags JUST for the models - the little one is for the guys and the bigger one is for the ladies

And dont forget the accessories!!

...and this is all before Ive even packed a bag with what Ill be wearing for the next 6 days!

Ill post pics from the shoot soon!

Sex and the City 2

Yay - I am such a huge Sex and the City fan - and the second installment in the movie franchise is already in production, to be launched at the end of May 2010 in the States.

Here is the mastermind behind the wardrobe:

Miranda looks miserable in these shoes - and I dont blame her!

Cant wait to see what this scene is all about:

Happy Spring Day!

In honour of the first day of spring, I cleaned out my wardrobe. Hidden in the dark recesses of my closet were things from millenia ago that simply needed to go... Belts were tossed in haphazardly into the back of the shelf and eventually looked like enraged snakes trying to get to freedom.

Here are some before and after pics of my manic wardrobe - with a few tips and hints on getting your own wardrobe spring clean right!

My shoes - Before and After

My belts - Before and After (With over 60 belts, it's important I categorise them by colour!)

My clutch bags neatly packed away

My pants categorised by colour - Black to white

To make some space in my wardrobe for Spring and Summer, I packed away my winter stuff. Bye boots! My tan boots are my favs so will miss them for the next few months!
