Working furiously at this

     I've been scarce and hardly visited or commented on blogs, nor have I photographed or posted updates much less painted my toe nails, but thought I'd share with y'all what's going on. 
 
     Besides going to gym, batting to get my housekeeper to work according to my Flylady schedule, school year ending, text books and stationery for 2014 needing to be purchased, I finally bit the bullet and decided to go with my own hosted blog.
 
     So without further ado ... please would grab your coffee and click the image below to visit my overhauled blog ... there is still some debris around from the move, so mind your step for the next few days ... if you a follower via bloglovin, please would you click the icon at the bottom of the new blog to follow, I managed to create two profiles and can't get them to merge and then managed to lose all my followers too ... hope to see you there, Wendy.

Houndstooth ... with blue

 
 
 
I do so love this houndstooth skirt of mine.  It's a knit material and ueber comfy to wear.  I like that it can look super smart and fairly casual too.  I wore it in winter as well with tights and booties and a long sleeved shirt and in another shared outfit with a red peplum.  I think I may well pack it in for my trip in December as I can easily wear it three times with different tops. 
 
It was super hot today and the sky remained totally free of clouds.  Its wonderful weather for sun babies but those like me who got themselves roasted in their younger years know to stay indoors next to the fan with a 1.5l of water.
 
 
The details :
Necklace : Legit
Shirt : Woolworths
Skirt : Legit
Shoes : Conempo
Handbag : Justine Cosmetics
Sunnies : Fairlady freebies just for show
 
 
You may remember that it was a mid calf length skirt when I purchased it and the day I wore it to work with the red peplum, my collegue immediately told me that she did not like the length on me ... and neither did I.  Off to the tailor it went and how much better does it look in the second picture below and the look above?
 
 
'Til we visit again - have a fabulous day.

Fabulous Fashionistas to Follow

I love Pinterest and often find interesting Fashionistas or Style Bloggers through pins.  I think that at least 80% of the bloggers I follow I've found through this means.

Today, I thought I'd share three fabulous bloggers I found this week and added to my reading list ... starting with
her byline says "A sweet little personal style blog" and its sweet.  
bb2

I enjoyed her description of herself as well
I always dreamed of coming to NYC and landing a glamorous job in the fashion industry. 
Instead I became a technology geek and now spend most of my days talking bits and
bytes with IT Directors. Even though khakis and polos are the standard uniform within
 my industry, I prefer dresses and high heels. Closet Confections is my outlet for
 injecting a daily dose of style and beauty into my life. 

Next I found Jessie at Seams for a Desire (such a sexy blog name) via Lydias Pin of this outfit  2



... shes young and cute and dresses way younger than I should but I enjoyed her site and its great inspiration.

Then I found Jackies blog named Lips, Hips and Fashion Tips ... the name intrigues me, I have hips, curvy hips that cannot be ignored, so I went to visit.

The image below sold me so I added her to my reading list, this is the kind of quote I share on WLW
1.3

I especially like her 'About" page

LIPS,HIPS and FASHION TIPS  is on a mission to empower everyone to get stronger — both mentally and physically.
Decide it
Accept it
Believe it
 Repeat it, own it…LIVE IT!
Lips, Hips and Fashion Tips is a one-stop shop for all things beauty, fashion, fitness…and how to improve your overall health.  There’s something for everyone to read!
 and she promised to  share her knowledge and experiences via LIPS, HIPS and FASHION TIPS.  She goes one to say "I love to share nutrition tips, fun fitness facts, all things fashion, but I’m obsessed with nails and I have a soft spot for peanut butter!  The purpose of this blog is to help everyone understand their full potential…no more excuses!"
My belief is that anyone can commit to being the strongest versions of themselves.  I hope you enjoy and follow me on this adventure called LIFE ... with so much positivity and her sounding like what I preach to myself and those nearest and dearest to me, I have to keep an eye on this lady.

And then I found a gorgeous new South African  blog to share by a young lady named Amy Scheepers ... Fancy Pants ... just go there ... click the links, browse around and thank me afterwards ;-)

Hope you enjoy and here's wishing you a wonderful Saturday.

Capsule Wardrobe Advise

As regular readers know, I'm heading to Houston, TX at the end of December to attend my daughters wedding.  Of course, besides all the obvious excitement and the thought of hitting up the stores, my thoughts of course have gone to what to put in my suitcase.  Since we're in Summer here and I'm heading to Winter, I'm now contemplating what to pack in the suitcase.  Since I'll be meeting my future son-in-law, his family and my daughters friends and acquaintances for the first time, I'm of course wanting to make a good impression.  

My biggest problem with travelling to a Winter climate is that you in fact can't take as many clothes as you would when travelling into Summer due to the sheer weight of Winter clothing.

Here's where I'm asking for some suggestions - those who know my wardrobe, please make some suggestions of outfit possibilities I may have overlooked over the past season where I can mix and match effectively.

I'm looking forward to your suggestions.

On the subject of wedding, I prowled around the Dress Barn site earlier and quite liked these dresses - whats your thoughts?

I think I'm most keen on the charcoal one above  ... 


The wedding details are as follows

The ceremony is taking place at 16:00 on the patio of the Country Club and is followed by dinner in the Country Club.

Of course if I choose to wear any of the dresses, I'll need to wear some sort of pashmina/blazer/jacket ... but
I'm just so unsure of what to wear!!  

Let me know your thoughts folks ... share share share ... suggest suggest suggest :-)

High Low Shirt dress




This is the dress I bought myself with the money my son gifted me.  They're such generous souls (don't tell him that I actually put the money into his bank account though).

Before I could wear it though, I had to have my Mom mend it and sew new seams as the cat (not this big boy, but our mischievous little Marshy) had attacked it and ripped it - thankfully the rip was right next to the seam so it was easy to fix.

Couldn't resist showing off my big boy (btw he's not the one who attacked my dress - we have three cats and it was the youngest of the bunch)
 I'm finding that a lot of the dresses at present are cut with very short bodices - most of them are fitting right under the girls.  I do prefer it when a dress fits in the waist, but am just not finding them to be so.  Its a little uncomfortable, but I'm surviving. I'm guessing I'll just get used to how they feel when someone will change the patterns ... dang Murphy ... lol.
Details:
Dress : Mr. Price
Shoes : Fashion Express
Necklace : Made by my daughter
Bracelet - A gift from my daughter
Although this dress came with a belt, I don't quite like the colour, so when getting dressed I went through a bunch of belts trying to find one that went well with the dress and shoes ... none of them looked right and then I spotted this potential 'belt' which is in fact a necklace.  I've worn necklaces as belts before and providing the item of clothing does not need to be held up by the belt, they're often an interesting alternative.  Have you ever worn a necklace as belt?
The material is lovely and prefect for our hot summers here in Africa - its a really easy comfy wearable cotton blend.
When looking at my photos - I must say, girls like Lyddie just amaze me with their self portraits - I just don't seem to have the knack for it, no matter how well I prepare ... lol. 
Well gals .. that's all from me for today.  Hope you had a wonderful happy day.

All Things Thursday Link Party


Woohoo ... and all that jazz

So sorry for no new OOTD posts ... yes, I have been getting dressed, however, with all my own self inflicted pressures and others, I'm running a little behind.

But here's how things are looking in my little universe and its good people - good things

  1. I lost 1kg (Schatz offered to help me look for it) on my eating plan this past week and am so chuffed.  Another 4 to get to goal weight!  However, as I mentioned on my other blog, I'm aiming for an extra 4 - but am not pressuring myself about it until I get to my current goal set by the WeighLess calculations.
  2. My USA Visa (did I mention this already this week?) was approved, so the first part of getting to my daughters wedding is done.  Now to book the ticket, find an appropriate outfit (will probably shop for it once I'm there) pack the suitcase and make a list of all the thrift and charity shops in around their area (Houston - yes, its B.I.G. so this is a challenge).  She has also confirmed the date of the wedding to be 4 January 2014.
  3. My blog has been mentioned on high50 and specifically on this link - so awesome and thanks so much.  I check my stats often (sometimes some weirdo sites show up on the referring URLs list - real unsavoury ones and I can't for the life of me figure out why).  Some of my most favourite bloggers are mentioned as well.
  4. I'm feeling such a difference since getting going on Casseys Ho's blogilates workouts - they are killer!  I do believe I'll see significant changes in the next couple weeks.
  5. My studio is getting more and more organised with each passing day - need a glamour shoot, newborn baby shoot, boudoir shoot or a quick family shoot - check out my Site.
  6. I've added a backdrop to my studio and a ColorMunki to my digital perfecting arsenal.  Relieved to know that when I'm working on photos, I'm seeing true colour.
  7. Wanting to add a few photo walks to my end of year events list - really need to sit down with the calendar and make some plans.  PhotoWalkers and PhotoComment both offer these.
  8. Got one Americano Christmas gift done and dusted and I bet you can't guess whose it is.  Since I'll be there just after Christmas, I'm a little less pressurised to get them posted and will take them in my luggage instead of posting them.
  9. I got my 2014 diary - I saw this earlier this week and just fell in love, however, the monthly tabs of the two that were in the store I was in were bent so I did not buy it.  Today I found it at PNA and decided to go ahead and buy it.  Its filled with fun interesting crafting goodies, ideas, quotes and websites ... I bought mine at PNA but I did see it at CNA and so I'm guessing you'll find it all over.  Its published by Metz Press (Its definitely for the South African market)
  10. At the moment, I'm loving how things are working out in my life - I've done a lot of crying out of pure happiness.  I feel some days like I want to dance around like a crazy kid ... te he te he ... lets go puddle jumping!
  11. I fell in love with a new to me blog today thanks to high50 - go visit

Skinny jeans, nude wedges, lace and a statement necklace


Statement Necklace


Today I rushed off to drop off a dress that my kitty had ripped and my 'bandage' skirt that was coming apart at Mom for mending.  When I got home I showered, dressed and then had two phone calls.  The day just slipped by in a blur.

I had no intention of doing much else outside the house today so I kept it rather casual.

THE DEETS :
Necklace : Truworths
T-shirt : Edgars
Jeans : Identity
Wedges : Fashion Express
Handbag : Gift from my sister Norma for Christmas
Bracelets : Contempo
Ring : Bought in 2005 in Germany

A black dress and a tie front shirt



In my continuing attempts at getting more wear out of my wardrobe and trying new items together, this is what I put together today. 

I love this dress, however, its so low cut in front and I've battled with that since I bought it.  I've tried wearing a cami underneath, I've tried closing it with a brooch and a safety pin, then I tried these little nylon goodies that clipped on your bra and cover up the gals -  however, I found that they would creep up, stick to my skin with static and simply was not working.  Sigh!

Today I tried it with a statement necklace first, then with a little lace bra but still too much of the gals was showing, so I then decided to try it with this shirt.  It worked the best so far.

THE DEETS :
Dress : Truworths
Shirt : Edgars
Necklace : The Silver Copany
Shoes : Shoecity
Handbag : Gift a few years back from my daughter Taryn

Hope your day was fabulous friends and I do hope you're finding more ways to what you already have.

A Million, Bazillion, Trillion Thanks

When last did someone do something for you that just made you stop dead in your tracks, jaw hitting the ground, your brain going round like crazy and tears just bursting from your eyes because it was more than you could you believe and whats more, from the last source expected?
 
Well today, totally out of the blue, the most unexpected call and a gift from the most unexpected person came to me.  As I was pulling into Liams' school to drop him off, my phone started ringing.  It was my ex husbands stepmother on the phone.  Well, how you doing she asked, and then proceeded to give me the most incredibly amazing gift.  She said that she told my father-in-law that she realling feels that its such an important day and she felt sure that I was devastated (put that in great big capital letters) that I could not afford to travel to the event, and she/they are paying for me to fly to Houston to be with my daughter on her wedding day.
 
I have cried on and off the entire day!  I am still so amazed that such a wonderfully unexpected gift has been given to me.  Its been a crazy day, filling in applications, getting photos done and rushing around like a headless woman.  I sent out an email request asking for prayers that an earlier date be arranged for my Visa Interview, which was rescheduled from the 12 to 4 November.   Less of a panic and more time to plan.  Please say a prayer that I get a 10 year Visa - that would be wonderful.
 
My daughter, after being told the news, has decided to postpone the date to early in January (she's money conscious - not Extreme Cheapskate Style - but she works hard for her money and plans well with it and thinks twice before spending it) because the flights are cheaper if I fly out on 28th December than now.  When I woke up this morning there was a Whatsapp post by her saying :
 
       Taryn  - Sometimes people are really surprising!
       Me      - Who surprised you?
       Taryn  - Just everyone.  Sorry I was thinking :) love you good Night :)
 
She'd been told by her Dad what his Stepmom and Dad were planning to do.  She's as surprised and thrilled as I am.
 
Other positives of her postponing the date are that she and TJ will be in their own apartment and I'll be able to stay with them as where I was going to stay now was up in the air.  I can help her sort out and arrange her place and ... I'll be there for her birthday.  We'll get to go shopping before the wedding for a dress and she can approve it (which I was quite stressed about) ... I can exercise some more and look fabulous for her big day ... lol.
 
So gals, since its Winter in the USA when the date is scheduled for and Miss Taryn won't go overboard, I'd like some ideas of what to wear and suggestions, as she said, it won't be a fancy pants do - but I do want something pretty and appropriate as the mother of the bride.
 
Happy happy day.

Have fun now pretties

19 Practical Tips for Thriving During Mercury Retrograde

(With the greatest respect, for any of my Christian blogger friends, who don't believe that the world around us has an effect on us - please be so kind as to disregard this repost.)

It’s that time of year again! No, not quite the holidays (even though that’s getting closer now, too).

Starting on October 21, 2013, it’s Mercury Retrograde, an experience that happens three times each year that can affect our wellbeing in many ways.

Here are some practical tips to thrive during this universally confusing time when you may feel like everything feels a bit out of control.


What is Mercury Retrograde?

Mercury Retrograde is an astronomical phenomenon that happens three (sometimes four) times each year when the planet Mercury appears to be going backwards based on the speed at which Earth and other planets orbit the Sun. (If you want to learn more about how it actually works, just search “mercury retrograde” on Google and look for credible sources.)
 
This fall, Mercury Retrograde goes from October 21—November 10, 2013. 
 
We can often start to feel the effects of Mercury Retrograde a few days before and after it’s official schedule, so give yourself some grace. While not everyone feels the effects of it, many people experience it to some degree, but without knowing why things feel a bit “off.”
 
The planet Mercury governs communication and travel, which means that during a retrograde period, communications, speech, information, travel and electronic devices and appliances sometimes don’t work as they should. Household appliances can behave weirdly. Computers and cell phones may experience disruptions. Delays, detours and cancellations are common. People might say things they don’t mean. Our speech may come across less clearly, so miscommunications and misunderstandings may happen more with your loved ones and friends. If you feel irritable, just breathe through it and let it be. It will pass.

How to thrive and make the most of this time

  1. Keep your cell phone charged at all times. (Don’t be surprised if messages don’t go through or calls drop.)
  2. Allow extra travel time on the roads and in airports—and double-check your itinerary!
  3. Read and review details more closely. Since communication and information can be fuzzy, ask questions and double check details and instructions.
  4. Back up your data on your computer and mobile devices.
  5. Refrain from launching something new right now. This is a time for reflection, ideas and thinking—not new action. (Side note: This is also why we launched our new Dressing Your Truth for Men online course well BEFORE Mercury Retrograde.)
  6. Be gentle with yourself and others—extend extra love and grace to yourself and loved ones during these times. 
  7. Take time to laugh and spend time with friends. 
  8. Play with your kids or any children in your life. 
  9. Nurture your emotional and spiritual life. Pray, meditate, spend time in nature.
  10. Practice loving self-care. Get a massage, do tapping, watch a movie, take a nap, go for a walk, buy yourself flowers.
  11. Go with the flow—don’t try to fight it.
  12. Allow yourself time to take stock of what’s going on in your inner world. Retrograde is a great time to go within, to reflect and renew.
  13. Release anything that’s not supporting you. Let go of the past, limiting beliefs, old patterns, etc.
  14. Finish projects you’ve left undone.
  15. If an old friend comes to mind, reach out to reconnect.
  16. Forgive yourself and others for past wounds.
  17. Re-examine your priorities. Allow new ideas, dreams and visions to come to the surface.
  18. Journal.
  19. Let yourself “be” with whatever comes up. Resist the urge to “do” something new right now—it may be better to wait until after Mercury goes direct to take action, once things are moving in correct alignment again.

 

Mark your calendar for Mercury Retrograde 2014

If you’re planning a vacation, events or travel for next year, it might be good to take note of Mercury Retrograde times in 2014:
  • February 6–28, 2014
  • June 7–July 1, 2014
  • October 4–25, 2014

One shirt dress three ways : Statement necklace and snakeskin shoes


        Casual shopper                                            Night out                                               Mom Photographer on the run                                    

 Casual Shopper or Lunch with the girls





THE DEETS :
Dress : Fashion Express (they also have a gorgeous green at a mere R160.00)
Belt : Fashion World
Sandals : Unknown
Bag : CCI
Necklace : Truworths

With this styling, you could also go for a little kitten heel pump or strappy sandals with a wedge to give it a little lift.  I'm not wild about wearing completely flat shoes and I'm not fond of how my legs look when I have an ankle strap on my shoes. But this outfit I could really see myself wearing out for lunch with friends or shopping.

Dinner/Date night or spunky office gal





 THE DEETS :

Dress : Fashion Express
Belt : Edgars
Shoes : Woolworths
Necklace :
Bracelets : Contempo
Handbag : Woolworths

This outfit made me feel rather fierce!

If wearing this to dinner, it would definitely need to be a little more upmarket than say McDonalds or even Ocean Basket.  I'm saddened by the reality that people just don't bother about going the extra mile when going out, or even when going to work, very often.  You could even swap out the bag for a smaller evening bag/clutch which would really take it over the edge for evening wear.

I'd wear this to the office but keep an eye on the length and not lean back too far and would then swap out the belt for a thinner patent leather one and maybe just a simple string of pearls to bring it down a notch, but if you're a confident lady, you'd easily carry this look off.

Note to self - a fitted belt hikes this up quite a bit - bear that in mind ;-)


 Mom/Photographer on the move

 

THE DEETS :
Dress : Fashion Express
Shoes : Truworths
Belt : Truworths
Handbag : Woolworths
Necklace : Made by my daughter Taryn in 2006

Off to get printing done and need to be able to carry an A4 plastic envelope and this bag totally fits the fill.  I've even considered having it lined/reinforced to be able to use it as a camera bag.  I bought it in the mens' department at the Woolworths Sale possibly last year.  I often scout around  the mens' department for satchel/messenger type bags as they tend to be roomier when made for men - which I just can't understand ... lol.
This look would be great for doing photographs in as the leggings keep you decent and able to move about quickly and bend and even lie on the ground if needed without worrying that you're showing off some private parts.
If you have young'uns, this would be a snap for getting out to the park or the garden and getting down 'n dirty with 'em.

So folks, this is my first how to style and would love your feedback.

Have a stylish day friends.

Boyfriend jeans and a statement necklace for Visible Monday

So folks, how do I look?
Denim with floral shirt and tan shoes
Woolworths Re Boyfriend Jeans - Handbag and Shoes (Kelso) from Edgars
Statement necklace from Legit (Same with different coloured hangers available at Sass Diva)

WHEN : Monday, October 21st 

THE DAY PLAN : The rain that thankfully arrived yesterday is still with us today and is making it really chillo.  Since I have really straight hair, the damp just does not let it hold any styling I've done to it - so today is an iffy hair day and its on these days that I with my hair were long enough for a ponytail.  I need to run out to the bank, but mostly will be spending the day at the pc reading my module 4 and looking at marketing opportunities for Simply Sassy Photography and hashing out my thoughts on a competition I'd like to run. 

I'm still very much in the 'comfy casual smart' look and with that in mind, decided that since  I haven't worn my boyfriend jeans in a while, I'd pair them with a thin cotton long sleeved shirt I bought at Mr. Price ages ago.  I choose it because its thin enough should the day warm up a little and if not, I can throw one of my pashminas over for warmth.  I must admit, I'm not sure I'll wear the shoes out when I head to the bank, but probably a pair of brown heels.

I'm not sure I've ever shown this bag off on the blog, mostly because I'm not sure I've ever actually used it.  I'm making a concerted effort to use what I have, all this crazy indulgence must end ;-).

A grey and wet day outside -  maybe I'll swap the shoes before I head out
THE DEETS :
Jeans : Woolworths 
Shoes & Handbag : Edgars
Shirt : Mr. Price
Necklace : Legit
Bracelet : Kays Jewellers (gift from my daughter)

I'm linking up with the ever stylish and lovely Patti over at Not Dead Yet Style for her Visible Monday linkup.  Hop on over and see all the lovely stylish ladies.

Coral lace and mint stripes




WHEN : Thursday, October 17th

THE DEETS : 
Tank - Pick 'n Pay
Shirt : Mr. Price
Jeans : Identity
Shoes : Meltz
Belt : Foschini


THE DAY PLAN: Today is Courteneys' 17th birthday.  We called this afternoon but had missed her as she's already left for schoool, so the boys and I send her a voicenote over Whatapps where we sang - we sounded horrid ... lol.  

Yet again my day got sidetracked and I did not quite achieve what I had set out to achieve, so tomorrow I'm under some self imposed stress.  Its been a week of unexpected distractions and I'm just not getting to what I need to get to.  I don't know if anyone feels it, but the days sure slip by quickly.

I ended up going around trying to the find the items needed for a school project that Liam has to do which is to create an electric parallel circuit - from searching everywhere I thought it could be, to going to the stores and driving around trying find other options - I came back empty handed, but luckily Schatz found one.

This evening we had lovely chicken and avo wraps for dinner.  I bought the multigrain wraps from Woolworths and roasted a chicken.  Oh my, it was so good.  I think we'll have some for lunch tomorrow as well.

Well, my evening is now over and I must head to bed - hope your day was wonderful friends.

White denim, nude heels and a crochet bolero






WHEN : Tuesday 15th October

THE DEETS :
Capris: Woolworths
Cami: Contempo
Bolero : CCI (Cheap Chinese Import - Wording stolen from sisters friend)
Sandals : Fashion Express
Bracelet : Bought at a store in Graskop
Earrings : Truworths

THE DAY PLAN : Besides working on the final edits of the photos of little Lisa, I had planned to get some reading of my current module done.  I'm wanting to get both of these things finished by the end of the week.

I decided to put up the tripod and quickly take my pictures of the outfit as I find that by the afternoon its a bit mad in our house, so I decided to quickly do them.  Took all of about 5 minutes in total.  

I love these capris, so much so that I also bought a red and mint pair when they were in store and which have all been featured many times on the blog.  They're comfy enough to sit in the entire day.  The sandals I bought about a week back.  I wanted wedge nude sandals as they're so versatile and you can really wear them with everything.  Since I'm a 'retrenched recession`ista reworking her wardrobe' now, I'm really not shopping much, but I can't resist a little purchase here and there.  I bought these after my sister had bought a face cream that I had in my stock basket, so I didn't feel too guilty.  I wanted a pair of nude sandals and when I saw these, except for the brushed suede finish, they were perfect - the height of the heel and the colour.

My cute crochet bolero has maybe made one appearance on the blog.  Schatz bought it for me and I can't remember the exact store, but I'm pretty sure it was at a Chinese store.  I really like it, but find I'm challenged on how to style it.  Today it seemed to fit well.

Well pretty ones - thats all for me for today.  I'm now headed off to collect my nephew, then my son and then to drop my nephew and mother at their home.

Have a magnificent day now.

Sunday outing


 
 
 
WHEN : Sunday 13th October
 
THE DEETS :
Jeans : Identity
Tank : Unknown
Shirt : Pick 'n Pay
Sandals : Fashion Express
Watch : Fossil
Pendants : (I've gone blank and need to go find the info ... lol)
 
THE DAY PLAN : Today Schatz went off for a ride and while he was gone I spent some time getting motivated for my week by looking at some Blogilates videos on YouTube and then did my weekend beauty routine.
 
I then got the boys up and made smoothies, checked out my emails and had just started the kitchen when Schatz got back.  He then suggested we head out to the Norwood Rooftop Market. 
 
It was much the same as it was when at Rosebank but I did enjoy the outing.  Schatz bought me a cute bracelet at one of the stalls that I'm just itching to wear.  I'll be showing it off this week without a doubt.
