REVIEW: 57th Annual Grammy Awards


Happy Fashion Friday beautiful people!

Last weekend it was that time again for the Annual Grammy Music Awards in LALA Land! This is literally my favourite awards red carpet because I always expect the fashion to be outstanding and to see a bunch of my favourite celebs stepping out of their comfort zones a little and taking risks. I must say, overall, I was quite underwhelmed by the fashion at this year's Grammy Awards. Of course there were always those 'ERMEGERDYOURESUCHAFLAME' moments and those 'WHY DIDYOU EVEN LEAVE YOUR HOUSE' moments, as standard procedure to any Hollywood red carpet. It's been a while since I've done a red carpet review so here goes.

Couples
Ariana Grande and Big Sean

Ariana wears Versace and Big wears Saint Laurent. I don't really understand the dynamics of Ariana's dress to be honest, she looks like she is off to senior prom. The silver metallic fabric looks like it was just randomly sewn on the dress with no particular purpose. Big looks dapper as always. 6/10 definitely and the 5 goes to Big Sean.

Helen Lasichanh and Pharrell Williams

Helen and Pharrell wear Adidas. I am simply unable to can with whatever is going on here. 

Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West

Kim wears Jean Paul Gaultier dress, Kanye wears Balmain. Despite everyone saying how much they love Kim's dress, I'm not feeling it. It looks a bit too lavish, almost like the dress is wearing her. Sleeves are much too long and it looks like she is having a hard time wearing it (it looks heavy AF)

LOOKPOST: The Re-Up



 Happy Monday!

So we're back! I know I haven't blogged in a while and have been somewhat scarce on social networks and that's because these past few weeks (since we last spoke) have been nothing short of challenging and testing for me and I've had to take a time out and reflect.
Losing someone so close to me has really opened my eyes and made me realize that we are all so privileged to even have the gift of life, and wake up every morning healthy, happy and to know that someone loves us.. yet seldom do we actually take a second and really realize just how lucky we really are. I thought it was quite fitting that I post this on a Monday- the ultimate Re-Up day of the week just to give you all something to be happy and smile about, THE GIFT OF LIFE.

Anyways, on a lighter note, its February! The month of love, hope and faith and I am so hopeful that this month will be my REAL start to 2015 and bring me nothing but happiness and point me in the right direction. The resolutions I made at the end of last year have not been forgotten and have just made me more motivated to do better and to try my very best to succeed and make myself and my angels up there proud!

The LBD

For this outift I have on a cute 'Little Black Dress' from Forever 21. Truth be told, I never saw the hype over having a Little Black dress but recently have seen the benefits in terms of versatility. A simple black dress is super easy to dress up and down and looks fashion forward and sheek when it is worn in any season. My statement neck-piece is also a gem from Forever 21 and is definitely my favourite right after my other gold neck-piece from my previous post. It also makes an outfit stand out and makes it original and bold.

I decided to rock the Miley buns in honour of Miley Monday and to challange each and every one of you to TAKE IT EASY this week, and not take yourself too seriously or be too hard on yourselves.
Literally got the weirdest looks from people while shooting these pics, but I must say it was worth it! Hope you all enjoy: Pics courtesy of Kyte Dlamini Photography!
