Tis the reason to wear sequins

Holidays are a great time to glam up a notch.

South Africa doesn't offer the wondrous option of winter layering over this time but we sure can add some sparkle (sans fake tan) to the holidays.

Handbag from Lulu Belle available at Cape Town Waterfront and Pretoria's Brooklyn Mall
(I always manage to find affordable french imports from there)

No more bland, blend

Along with the rest of the fashion world, I am fantasising over the mixtures of textures and translucency.

This photo was taken on a night out and I wasn't feeling the little black dress option so opted to layer it with something a little more summer to break it up.

Veiled panels of print make for interesting illusions. I want more.

Alberta Feretti's 2010 A/W range sees the play of chiffons but she takes it another level of cool and brings jewellery into the garment, a beaded sleeve like the ones we know and love in figure skating costumes. AH ha.... sexy .
