#MBFWJ | Avant Apparel

Fragile innocence meets dark twisted fantasies, Avant Apparel's A/W2013 collection draws influences from the film Black swan with an added dash of baroque.The  manipulation of sheer/lace gives  flow and  shape to create a feeling opulent romance in soft tones of white,creams and Gothic black. Simple line and embroidery also bring texture to the collection, This is by far my favirote collection from day one.

J&B Met | Made to Fly

Hello sweets, after going through a case of slight FOMO and countless failed attempts in getting an invite to one of the star studded  marquees at this year's J&B Met, I calmed the fcuk down and embraced the basic bitch that I was and attended the event General entry style.

While others dazzled to the theme " Made To fly", some just simply failed to launch. Anyway to avoid getting my eyeballs insulted by a number ''costumes'' flying in all wrong directions, I hustled my way into the Lifestyle village, where I got just in time for the CavindishMet fashion challenge, let's just say I did not agree on the winner.

While hunting for those major fashion moments, I found myself at the at the Sunglass Hut pop up store, hunting for that perfect pair of sunnies instead. I easily made my way to their VIP bedouin inspired marquee thanks to a great friend of mine Jeannie D (You don't believe me? see here ), although the bar required cash at this time I had some major fun getting down on the dance floor while enjoying the somewhat deliciously healthy canapes.
