THE JUNGLE

     Ahoy mateys! Tis the season to be jolly and what better way to usher in the holidays than with a walk on the wild side. Now we all know the lion is the king of the jungle but style-wise we think the leopard and the cheetah rule that B***H! This is simply because the print on their fur is nothing short of enviable.
         Animal prints are basically seasonless. You can not only wear them with almost anything , they also
add a little edge to your wardrobe. Pair your animal print pieces with plain colours and avoid additional patterns especially if you're skeptical because you fear the print might eat you up whole. Colours such as mustard yellow,orange, black and red match perfectly.





     Most people, when they hear the phrase "leopard-print dress," picture something skin-tight and, for lack of a better word, raunchy. But it doesn't have to be that way! Instead of a body-con leopard-print dress, try something loose and flowy for a change. Layer on a belt ,a denim jacket or a turban to break up all that print and keep the look grounded yet chic with simple accessories and flats,

  



 

  Keep in mind that animal print is not a print that can be worked in with other prints, it's happier on its own. You do not want to look like the entire jungle at once.....a little goes a long way.

STRIPE ON

     Hello there buds! Being that the week has just began, hope it's been good to you so far coz we all know the weather has not. No worries though, allow us to strip your problems away with some stripes....shall we?
     Stripes are a classic pattern we humans can't clearly get enough of. Think of a style,any style, and dare yourself to dress around a vertical/horizontal thin or thick striped item. In our opinion stripes are a look taken for granted yet they always save the day and make you look super chic. They are incredibly versatile and can go from 9am work time to 11pm playtime(*wink*)
      Adding chiffon to a stripey look makes it clean,trendy and effortless. To bring out the stripes more make sure your chiffon has a pop of colour.....just like we did.

JERSEY BUDS

         What it do buds? Hope your November is getting on great! Ours definitely is.... even though
2 Chainz was a no show :-( ! That being said, clearly we're quite the hip hop heads which is where today's post drew it's inspiration from.
          As most of you know Jerseys were a big deal back in the day. Guys like the Lost Boyz, Naughty by Nature e.t.c made them seem cool as hell.. no lie. The craze however is back and fresher than ever (okay minus the unnecessarily baggy pants and oversize jackets). Thing is in the past they were mostly worn by dudes and not many would imagine girls would be able to rock them and, if we may say so, a little better than guys do. But guess what we can and WE HAVE..BOOM!!(girl poweeer!!)
   
   Nikey Jersey - CHECK!




   Sixers BasketBall Jersey - CHECK PLUS!!!



 Don't be afraid to swim over to the Jersey Shore....Be different,yeah, be different * 2 Chainz voice*

PEP-LOW

PEP-LOW

     Hey buds!Boy have we missed you guys terribly!!!! Apologies for being M.I.A .... we were busy saving lost souls from fashion HELL... JK! Anyway on to today's outfits; Peplums and High-Lows (now the heading makes more sense huuuhh). However we wont be talking about wearing the two together rather how they can be styled separately and look simple yet sassy.

      A bit of a rocker? well here's how you can bring a little edge to a high-low skirt.




   For those who are biased and automatically think that a peplum top should almost always be paired with a pencil skirt or leggings..STOP DISCRIMINATION!!..Shorts are clothes too!



Put a little pep in your step and some high in you're low and your good to go.

POLKA-DOT-BUDS

         Ola buds! Hope your week has started in High Fashion (and by high we mean HIGH wink**)
So.....on  the menu today is that tasty print they call Polka Dot.

         Polka Dot is such an adorable print,it's kinda like the Koala Bear of prints. It's so playful ,fun and youthful that some would argue it's a must have...AND THEY'RE RIGHT!

         The Colour of the day happens to also be a fruit;you guessed right ORANGE!! Some people might not be bold enough to wear this colour because of how much attention it draws and being unsure of how to style it.

          Here are some ideas on how you can start off;
Cindy chose an Orange Pencil Skirt, a free-fitting Polka dot Vest and made the look edgy by wearing Black leather heels and jacket complete with a leather Tote bag.





Kim put a reverse twist to what Cindy chose by wearing a Polka dot Pencil skirt with an Orange poncho and pumps complete with a Barrel bag.




Remember  Buds.... Some Polka Dot a day keeps the Style Doctor away!STAY HEALTHY!

NERD BUDS

        Hello earthlings, happy new month! Hope you're week's been going great and you've missed us just as much as we've missed you!
    
        Today it's all about being geek chic. Quick question...when you think of a geek's outfit what comes to mind?....probably ridiculously large geek glasses, bow ties, suspenders...basically Steve Urkel righhhht?!
     
        Well, we all know Steve didn't exactly have the best fashion sense but you can borrow some ideas from his day to day outfits, sprinkle a little of your personality on them and nail the geek look.
     
         Here's a little style math to help you through.......

Fedora + Beige Geek Glasses+ Printed Bow tie+ Thai Silk Shirt + High waist Skirt + Black socks and Brogues = ADORABLE!

 





 Bowler Hat + Black Geek Glasses + Plain Bow tie + Sleeveless Denim Top + Printed Dungaree  Dress + White Socks and Ballerina Flats = ADORKABLE!





In the words of Luke Skywalker.... MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!

HUEBUDS

HUEBUDS

       Hello darling buds. Hope you've been good citizens ( well...not really..hehe) and staying stylish as always. Anyway, lets get started shall we.....HUE......
        HUE- The attribute of a colour by virtue of which it is discernible and which is independent of intensity   or lightness.
       Colours have a way of brightening up our lives in one way or another. Having a bad day.....throw yourself a little personal colour blocking party and you might just cheer right up doll.
        Colour blocking not only makes every aspect of your outfit a statement it also makes it very hard for people not to notice you. Be careful not to turn a fun colour blocking party into a full on disastrous clown party by making sure the colours do nothing but compliment each other.


ORANGE|BLUE|YELLOW


 BLUE | RED |YELLOW



If your going to be a rainbow, be a FABULOUS one!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DENIMBUDS

             Hey guys hope your day's going on great and your keeping it 100% fresh. Today it's all about DENIM DENIM DEEENNIIMMMM!!!!!
            In our opinion every stylish person out there probably has a crazy obsession when it comes to denim and were pretty sure that there is a statistic out there that proves almost every living being owns an item in there closet that's denim (Peacocks probably included coz y'all know them birds be FABULOUS oookay).
            For the girlie girls out there you can spice up your denim look by adding lace detail, a blue tie up denim top with white denim pants and a brown braided belt to finish off the look. Shoes can range anywhere from flats to heels....You decide.

                        



              You can try a boy meets girl kind of look when it comes to rocking the denim on denim look.Wearing a sleeveless denim top, a pair of rugged denim pants, military boots paired with a half coat is a perfect example of how you can pull this off.
                  


 
               Feel free to play with all the shades of denim in your closet.... that's what we did....and no denims were injured in the making of this post! But don't forget they have to compliment each other honey. Be inspired.
