If you have not noticed, I am absolutely obsessed with reinventing my look because if being in a box was ever a thing, I would hate for people to think they can box in my style. I dress and wear what I like every single day. So how exactly did I stumble onto glitter lips? I am what you call a light “accessorizer”. I rarely wear earrings and hate having to pick out a neckpiece. If it were up to me, I would not wear earrings at all and only wear one dainty necklace that I never have to take off. However this is Fashion and accessories are just as important as the outfit itself.  So in efforts to find ways to continue my strike against some of these tiny things we need.  I thought of a more permanent show stopping kind accessory and after trolling YouTube, I found it! For now glittered lips are my best accessory.

I would do an OOTD, but we are head to toe in Refinery! 

As a Namibian fashion designer you are always looking for avenues to escape the dull reality that is the Namibian Fashion Industry so when a few of my friends said lets go to Menswear Fashion Week it was all hands on deck and we went. But as much as I would like to tell you the glitz and glamour I think it is important that others aspiring to do the same know that doing things like this is not glamours at all because it is part of the hustle. We drove to Cape Town, which is a 15 to 16 hour drive. We stayed at a friend's flat which was as good and as cheap as accommodation comes in Cape Town. We barely paid for anything that  wasn't Fabric, food and drinks... in that order and arranged do most of what we did for free because fashion recognizes fashion and when they do, they open doors for each other. Hot - Right?

Now for the GLAMOUR!!! There is nothing I love more than a fashion scene. Anyone that has attended fashion week knows 2 things. It is work and it is not glamours, but we make it look good. You sit in a room filled with people that love clothes just as much as you do if not more and watch style on styles go down the runway whilst trying to keep your fashion cool under these hot lights. All this while you document and create trends with your snaps, tweets and grams. If there is anything Nam twitter can learn from these front rowers; its that they tweet about the fashion. No one cares how late it started, how hot it is or what isn't happening. All we care about is what hit the runway and why we love or hate it. Namibia has a long way to go in terms for understanding fashion, but don't worry, no one I know is giving up on the dream.

P.S. How awesome are this pics that Frank Mukendi took of us? If you're ever in CT link him. 

Enjoy some of my favorite looks from Menswear Fashion Week.

Its official! I have an alter ego. I cannot really explain how it happened or when exactly, but it is definitely a thing. So when I am out on a Slay mission you're probably meeting Sleah. The thing about alter egos is that people tend to blame all the bad or more real things they do on them. I personally think that my alter ego is just an extended version of me. However I will tell you this; Sleah; is not a personal person, she is here for the Fashion and when she shows up, trust me. She is here for the slay. 

Check Out this Revamped (Because I love to D.I.Y everything.) Go Jane jumpsuit I wore to the  Sun MET in Cape Town. The theme was decades of glamour and that meant anything glamorous from the 1900s to the 2000s. I decided to go with 70's glamour. The 70s were a very sexy time for women and Cher being the queen of see through jumpsuits definitely inspired this look. I aimed to go for a wet look with my hair, but the Cape Town heat was not letting me live. To finish the look I had go in with that red glitter lip because what is glamour without a little glitter! 

P.S. This look got me tones of celeb treatment  for no reason, so it is in fact true that you should dress how you want to be addressed.

Living in Miami will make you fall in love with beach life and everything that comes with it. I have been in love with bikinis since and figured I would share some of my fav bikinis with you. Now you would think that buying a bikini should be a simple task, but it is not. I have come to realize that there is such a thing as a bad bikini and sometimes; if not most of the time, it is in your best interest to invest in a good one. It will change your life and I know this from experience because I used to be that girl that looked terrible in swimwear. Believe it or not but bikinis are more to do with fit than size. I was skinny yes, but bikini made me look and feel so awkward, but thanks to learning a few tricks in MIA my swimsuit game has never been the same. You will never catch me on a bad bikini day ever! You will notice that I have added the purchase date on my favorite bikinis for this summer so you can see that a good bikini is timeless, easy to mix with new bikinis and durable. Of course you cannot have your favorite bikini forever but you can have it for more than a season.
