Modern Vintage

It is that time of the year again where things get heated up, it's SUMMER! And it seems like it is getting hotter by the day but thank God for the rain that we have been receiving in Durban lately. Summer is my favourite season of them all as you get to let lose and be cool when it comes to dressing up.

I am not a fan of showing a lot of my skin especially my shoulders but I decided to try something out of my comfort zone.

This outfit that I am wearing is completely vintage except for the accessories. I happened to find the trousers at a thrift store and I have been longing to put an outfit together on the blog. Even though the material of the trousers is quite thick they fit well and feel comfortable.

I paired the trousers with a simple camisole and matching nude heels to add some height to the look.

Camisole - Mr Price
Trousers - Vintage
Belt - My brother's
Shoes - Edgars
Watch and Earrings - Gifted

I enjoyed putting this look together and I am happy with how it turned out. I also enjoyed making my face up and you should be expecting a makeup tutorial pretty soon.

But until then remember that God loves you and so do I.

How to Accesorize

fashion

Accessories play a vital role when it comes to putting an outfit together. From shoes, earring, necklaces, handbags, etc, they have the ability of making an outfit less drab and more fab. With different accessories a simple dress like the one I am wearing can be changed into different outfits for different occasions.

I chose to pair this mustard dress with a blue and gold beaded necklace as the vibrant colours complement each other quite well.

These cobalt blue heels are one of my favourite items this season and they match with the necklace and make this simple dress a lot more appealing to the eye.

Invest in bold statement jewelry this summer to make your simple outfits classic and chic. This necklace can also be paired with a simple t-shirt, a pair of jeans and cute sandals.

Dress - H&M
Shoes - The Fix
Necklace - Mr Price

Enjoy the rest of your week and happy accessorizing! And don't forget that less is more.

Remember that God loves you and so do I.

Wisdom

faith

We are left with a few days left until we enter into 2017 (literally just a few days left). Is it not ridiculous how time just flies, especially when you are having fun. But with 2016 coming to an end this means that I will be faced with decisions to make that will determine the following years of my life.

So with this thought in mind I turned to the word, where I get the best advise on anything and everything, and I came across these two scriptures:

James 1:5-8New Living Translation (NLT)

5 If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. 6 But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. 7 Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do.

Colossians 1:9-10New Living Translation (NLT)

9 ...We ask God to give you complete knowledge of his will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding. 10 Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better.

These scriptures speak for themselves. When it comes to any decision making or confusion that you're going through trust that He will give you all the wisdom and insight you need to make the right decisions.

In other news, my beautiful friend, Khwezi Masinga, who is a graphic designer made an illustration of me for my 18th birthday.

She is absolutely talented! If you would like to get a hold of her or to see more of her amazing work do check here on Facebook here and Instagram here.

Well that's it for now but do stay on the look out for an upcoming outfit post this week. Until then...

Remember God loves you and so do I.

Stay Focused

faith

Friday was officially my last day in high school. I can still remember my first day of high school like it was yesterday. I was a shy, chubby-cheeked girl who always kept to herself, until I made friends and became familiar with the environment of course. Since then I have grown and I am still growing into the young woman God wants me to be.

This year is coming to an end soon and that means the time for me to write my final exams is drawing near.
In preparation for my final exams I have been meditating on a lot of scriptures to help me keep calm through this time.

“If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.” (James 1:5 NIV)

“No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.” (Hebrews 12:11 NIV)

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13)

“’For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?’ But we have the mind of Christ.” (First Corinthians 2:16 NIV)

I would like to wish all the matriculants of 2016 the best for their finals. Keep your head high, stay focused and remember that God did not give us a spirit of fear but of power love and a sound mind.
