look of the day: Male crush

I do not know much about him but kate does not love you, I love you. (see: k a t e l o v e s m e ).

New obsession New love, the Michelle Viljoen inspiration.

I find that my life and blog are getting rather monotonous each and everyday, being an explorer of the web, I recently discovered the amazing work of Michelle Viljoen (see: papercitylife) and from I was truely inspired. I absolutely love his photos, motionless yet tell a story.

So to bring the spark back to my life, I will be soon taking photography lesson (not sure when and where), so i can capture the amazing memonts of my (fashion) life.

The recent work of Michelle Viljoen, hope you get inspired too. x

Inspire Me: Fake Sartorialist

I love how the fake sartorialist gathers random inspiration from the  streets around the world and selects one aspect from each photograph to create something new and unique.

Mr Price (ND) Winner 031 collection.

Yesterday mark the 1st Mr Price New Designer Awards, although I was not there I somewhat felt how intense the night was as the finalist showcased an array of design talent. From Ruff Tung to Holmes Brothers, each with a new flair on fashion and style, the 031 collection clearly shows how much design talent we have in the country.

To be frank, I was impressed by the work of  all participants but there had to be one winner.  selected by a high  panel of judges, which includes British model Agyness Deyn, SA Fashion Week convener Lucilla Booysen, award winning fashion journalist Milisuthando Bongela, designer Leigh Schubert and Mr Price trend executive Joanne Coehlo, Winner Cindy Armstrong offer a chic and well executed collection that comprises of flowy, well shaped fabrics and loads of head gear (Think: Stiaan Louw's '6' collection).

well done to Cindy and the other talented participants, looking forward to seeing more of your work in the near future.

Style By Aggy Deyn.

Although I could not be in Durban to witness the Mr Price New Design awards, I was very much informed of the proceedings of the event thanks to twitter ( follow: @fake_angel @031collection and @MrPriceFashion). I would not get to the details on how saddened I was not to meet British supermodel Aggy Deyn, however I absolutely loved how she styled the Mr Price range on day one of the event.

I'm not certain if the range is available in stores yet, you can visit the Mr Price near you for further inquiries.
