The Buzz on the Streets

This week I decided to talk more about what else is happening in the fashion world. By the mere fact that sunrise is later and evenings are getting chilly, we can safely say that we have entered Autumn. With that comes new autumn trends.. Yay J. Orange has been pegged as the new autumn colour for a while now. I had a feeling, but since its being spoken about by numerous sources, its confirmed in my books. Although I’m more of a blue person, I’m quite eager to get my orange on. Not terracotta, not burnt orange, but that 70’s bright orange that just screams at you. I think I may just incorporate some orange leather into my pieces at some point…Once I’ve completed the Jinn rings’ range I recently embarked on. On blogs, there are two that I’d like to recommend. One is www.rushe-row.blogspot.com, a very talented evening gown designer who has just recently launched her label, and www.inthefashionloop.com , Mr. Price’s fashion blog. I do think Mr. Price is underrated in this country due to the fact that it caters to the lower end of the market. One thing this store always gets right is stocking the key fashion pieces for the season long before any other store, even of high trend caliber, stocks them. I swear if they instituted a high end division I would be named Most Loyal Client sooner than you can say fashion addict. On another note, although, yes, I was waxing lyrical about Kate’s ring a post or two back, I am getting so tired of the constant buzz about this wedding. Am I alone here? Anyway…

5 Things I am dreaming of today:

1.       A personal cobbler – where to find the next Jimmy Choo, hidden away in some derelict building toiling away like Rumpelstiltskin.

2.       A new hairdo  - something unique, colourful, fashion-forward.

3.       A pair of red velvet Errol Arendz pumps – A modern day Dorothy… Mama loves playin’ dress-up!

4.       Black, bold D & G Cats Eye sunglasses.

5.       A spontaneous trip to Moz – People just don’t agree to things on the spur of the moment anymore…tsk…tsk..

Tomorrow my Easter holiday commences, spending time with Mr. Jinn and soaking up that beautiful Cape Town sun while it lasts!

Till next week, don’t forget… Ornate is awesome!!
