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…

When your Neighbourhood is just so good
I’ve been hearing about the famed Neighbourgoods Market for ages, from friends, and social media alike.

London Fashion Week 2015: Event Review
I expected more.
