South African Menswear Week 2018 – Curtain Call
I’m not in the business of being needlessly cruel, and delivering judgement without doing my due diligence. This disclaimer is necessary so that the reactions to my review of South African Menswear Week 2018, are not shrouded in disbelief, and meritorious points made, be subsequently disregarded for being too sharp. The context South Africa Menswear…
Jeans Evolution: G-Star’s raw new strategy
It was in a modified chic space on 10th Avenue, at the tail end of New York Fashion Week 2017, when G-Star Raw unveiled the second coming of the G-Star Elwood X25 in collaboration with music savant Pharrell Williams.

My travels to New York: Planning and execution
This trip was a gift from my mom.

On the day commemorating my birth, she willed this incredible…
Travel New York: A Bloggers Essential Hi Online Gadgets

Travel New York: Escape to Gramercy Park Hotel
New York is unlike any other city in the world. It’s reputation precedes it; and one is likely to feel like they haven’t seen or done everything there is to, within the Big Apple.

Weekend attendance: Cintron Pink Polo 2016
You know how my life goes? I wake thinking I’m going to one event -a very chilled soirée – when suddenly I’m in a whirlwind hurdling towards Val de Vie Estate. I blame Nontando Mposo! She texts me, on some “There’s a ticket for you. Get ready loser. We’re going to the polo!” tip; and…

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: Johannesburg 2016 – Day 4
You didn’t think I’d leave you without a closer did you?! My darlings, I left the best for last, because Day 4 had some of the most exquisite haute couture designs out of Africa. Not to say my non-haute-couture outfit didn’t pass muster; as I put significant effort into being “Cream Queen” – as A…
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: Johannesburg 2016 – Day 3
Day 3, and I was tired but still wired – like I had mainlined caffeine after running a marathon. I tell you, high heels are not for the faint hearted.

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: Johannesburg 2016 – Day 1
My tastes tend to tilt toward the side of decadence. However, the admission of a sense of style, and embracing exquisite taste, is oftentimes vilified as the closest sentiment to blatant materialism, and impacts the world of fashion and lifestyle development quite profoundly. I came to this discovery during Day 1 of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: Johannesburg…
South Africa Menswear Week SS17 – The Klaasic Style Blogger Review
I know I’ve taken my sweet time to review South Africa Menswear Fashion Week –which “SHOCKER!” I’m usually so vigilant – But I literally had no words to muster for the mild and mediocre event. I’ve only just managed to rustle up the energy to say something. My instagram has been busy though, as I…
Burn the Floor: A Dance Production Review…with wine!
Be still my pop culture heart! I’ve seen similar dance productions played through my TV screen in some of my favorite movies and television shows, and figured I’d get my chance to experience the spectacles once I’d touched down in New York, and experienced the marvels of Broadway like a true tourist.

“What Now?” that Kevin Hart has taken SA
It’s been phenomenal to experience Savanna Cider firing up the comedy scene of South Africa – adding their own unique flair to the otherwise mundane events that dominate the lifestyle SA scene. I was amped as hell with their announcement that they are bringing international stand-up sensation Kevin Hart to South Africa for the first time…
Savanna Competition in Session
I don’t know if I’m a leedle crazy, or if I’m sane and just don’t show it…but I’m definitely embracing the loco moment Savanna delivered to me in the form of a kick-ass Special Release tequila-flavored Savanna Cider. How do you like them apples? Savanna Loco is apparently best enjoyed ice cold, with a juicy wedge…
