Print on print




I love mixing prints. I paired leopard on leopard and tied it in with black hosery and black boots. The dress is a soft knit, a Zeenat Arieff original, designed and made by me. It's easy to dress up or down and very comfortable. When doing print on print, limit it to two at a time and ground the look with plain shades.

Love birds...for your ears


Unconventional accessories can really add personality to any look. These dove shaped earrings are made of wood and decorated in pastel colors. It's great for summer and the texture of the earring makes it great for winter as well. Sweep your hair off your face to place these proudly South African pieces in full view. For warm days, pair it with a summer dress or a shorts and tee. For cold days, pair it with a  jersey dress or coat and jeans. Keep it casual, fun and flirty.

Pastel fresh


Layer pastels this winter. Layering a shirt, jersey and coat with a simple color choice gives an interesting look that's easy on the eye. Pair items of a similar shade with jeans and a neutral boot. Add two subtle statement pieces for some flare - bold earrings, boots, bag or bold hair. I went with bold earrings and hair! Try keep the statement piece of your choice bold in design and not in color to keep it pastel chic. I love pastel shades in cool weather, it keeps winter fresh!

The stylish man



This stylish navy blue suit with silver embellished blazer redefines "black tie" events for men. A white wingtip shirt and metallic bow tie is chic with this lux look. Young, fresh but elegant. Perfect for the confident man with a unique bold style. The key to a suit is fit. Make sure the fit is perfect when making this style statement.

Winter brights


Don't save bright colors for summer. Sport them in cooler temperatures too. I love this royal blue trench for winter. To warm up the look, wear it with dark skinny pants or jeans, rider boots and a stylish woolen scarf. When you're doing a bold trench in winter, ground the rest of the outfit with subtle tones.
