I think designers understand menswear better this year. While theatricality plays its part during fashion week, it is functionality and fresh design that provide the bottom line after the shows end, most of the time. I think they’re getting it hey! 2017 collections gave the most blasé of nods as an ode to 2016 fashion…

Here for the Curvy: Fashion Bliss with Ruff Tung
“What’s a Ruff Tung?” “Is that code for something dirty?” Nooooooo, you guys! Ruff Tung is just the bomb fashion house that designs like 90% of the creations I don on the red carpet. Founded in 1999, by the now-deceased personality Jean-Paul Botha, Ruff Tung was angled for those with a taste for edgy club…
Summer Essentials 2016 & 2017 – Afrigarde creations
Afrigarde is a South African neck art range, created by the totally cool Maria Uys (seriously, she’s so cool). How many days can I style up my festive and post-festive looks, with the Afrigarde choker? I put myself to the test; Turns out- I can do it quite a bit. Here’s a few #OOTDs Cowgirl Out…
2017 & 2018! Years of epic #BodyPositivity
It started with a beat – No, for real! Dancing around in my room, feeling good while jamming out, is somewhat cathartic, and ups my self-confidence tremendously. Maybe, it’s the rise in endorphin’s, or just a really good song, but I truly delved into where I stood with body positivity at the end of 2016….

From midday till the sun set, Corona Sunsets had its crowds enjoying a solid good vibe in the sweltering heat of Cape Town.

Thanks to the Designers, Hotels, PR folk & Brands that made my 2016
For many, 2016 has been a world of disappointment, but – while I can list the soul-crushing challenges of this year – I will focus on the amazing positive aspects right now. This year has produced some amazing content for me; and this would not have been possible without the collaborations, the tireless efforts to…
So what if bloggers are in it for the free?
WE’RE IN IT FOR THE FREE! Okay, so it seems to be a bone of contention between bloggers and those other individuals involved in content creation and brand development, that bloggers are seen as just in it for the free stuff. Alright, so say that it our most defining attribute, okay?! Now what? What are…
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…
Outfit of the Day: Quicksilver
So I kind of live in a concrete jungle…seriously, the beach is a bit of a trip to get to. But because of that, there are quite a bit of beautifully constructed masterpieces in the city. So beloved is our architecture, that Cape Town is earmarked – by most European ad agencies and film studios…
Outfit of the Day: Autumn Vibes
I say explore your city because you’ll often find the best haunts in your own back yard. I like location scouting for potential shoots and finding new places to get my hipster fashion blogging on, while I explore Cape Town; So I took a friend of mine all across the City Bowl, Sea Point, Green…
Vogue declares war on Fashion Bloggers…but let’s get a few things straight!
It’s crazy to think of the strides the realm of blogging has made in the world, just over the past 5 years. Before the zenith of blogging, bloggers wouldn’t have merited even a mention in the pages of marketing modules, but now we have revolutionized the way in which brands advertise and market themselves. I…

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. Anywhooo, after returning to my hotel from Day 2 of fashion week, I edited and uploaded some pictures to my Instagram, and then promptly passed right…
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…
Winter Getaways: Travel Africa with Rovos Rail
I was fortunate enough to experience one of Rovos Rail’s tour packages this past weekend, and – without prompt or obligation – I can give Rovos a firm 9/10 for their Pretoria to Cape Town trip. I can simply describe it as a world of 5-star luxury in motion, and it’s why Rovos Rail Tours is often…
Cycling Rules!
As you’ve probably gleamed from my post about hiking, I really don’t like exercise and I definitely haven’t warmed to the idea of a repeat hiking expedition. So my friend Liezel decided to try a new angle for getting me active, and? It worked! Now, I am not ready to brave the rough and rocky…

Profile: Soul Design in mind

So #KlaasInSession with Abi James – the heart and soul of Soul Design – who took…
