OOTD In Character

Today my outfit was channelling some Anime. I get very inspired by the awesome-ness that is anime style. Everything about the characters is awesome, from the hair to the clothes to the way that they act. What's not to love?

So I slapped on this floral dress and because it was a rainy but not cold day I could get away with adding some cream over the knee socks with their cute bow detail and my brown combat boots and then brought in some more brown with my broad belt

Just to make it clear in case it wasn't blatantly obvious I really really loved this outfit!

Here's me trying to capture some anime-esque vibes to suit my outfit

OOTD Peachy Keen

So today's outfit was somewhat Rockabilly, 50's inspired, of course I'm not exactly nailing the rockabilly side though. For that I would need some tattoos, more piercings and red lipstick. But never the less I'll dub this the tame version
 Wearing this cute peach polka dot dress with cutout detail at the back, I love the way this dress fits and moves when you walk, it's weighted down and so it flows so nicely, officially one of my favourite mini dresses. 
 Then I paired it with my faux converse sneakers, black stud earrings which I didn't have on when I was taking these pictures...forgetful me. Then i tried to do my hair somewhat 50's but not too over the top and added a cute little cat clip to my side pony.
Then here my dogs very fascinated with what I was doing. Look at them looking at me all smiley like. Goda love my creatures!

OOTD The Little Mermaid

This post is so cheesily named for the funny coincidence that I fit almost exactly into Ariel's colour scheme with my outfit today Just needed a bit more purple in the outfit. It was not intentional I swear.

Just wearing my Aztec print skirt that i featured in one of my earlier posts, which has turquoise, black, pink and purple details mixed  in there, I paired it with my boxy fit turquoise camisole and then my black Plum sandals. Then I added more turquoise with my bead wrap bracelet and some turquoise drop earrings. I may have gone a bit too crazy with the turquoise there but I cant help it, its so pretty!

And just for comical effect, here's me making deals with the sea hag with my trusty clown fish and lobster

OOTD Jekyll + Hyde

So my outfit today gives me a Jekyll and Hyde feel, I couldn't decide if I wanted to be good or bad. It's funny that with a simple change of shoes the outfit gets a completely different look to it, but seeing as I am taking advantage of my boss not being around, I went for the Mr Hyde.


Just to add to the spooky topic, this was a picture that i took the other night through my boyfriend's telescope. So this is before I cropped it. I love having access to a telescope, the amazing things I've seen are crazy, for instance I have actually seen Saturn and the belt around it, which was amazing, I plan to get a much stronger telescope at some point though because not all the planets are as clear as what Saturn was.

This is after I cropped it, amazing how you can see all those scratchy marks all over thee moon and its craters on the sides. Truly amazing to see thee moon so clearly.

Okay now back to my outfit...I just paired my black polka dot crop top with a high-waisted grey skirt and my combat boots, so simple and yet so cute.

Then for accessories, I continued my midi ring obsession with my silver set of rings here

And then added this stunning vintage silver coin necklace, this is actually an old South African coin from when we were still under the British rule. Its a 2 an half shillings coin with Elizabeth 2 Regina's face on it. One of my favourite necklaces.

I like that this outfit could either have gone very elegant and pretty or very grunge. A good outfit to turn from day to night look in my opinion

Witching Hour

So this is some part new things which I bought myself and then others are things that my Mom brought me back from England from H&M! YAY! And this blog is aptly named for my Favourite item from H&M.

But first things first, here are some accessories that I have been searching high and low for, been to many a shop in search, These are from South Africa. 
The top set of midi rings are from a jewelry shop in Crest Shopping Center, Randburg, called LOVISA. And Thank you to them for having a huge selection of Midi rings, I was really spoiled for choice and struggled to only take the ones that I did end up with, so now I have a gold and silver set, which is a good start.

Secondly, this midi ring and hand chain/slave bracelet are from Mr Price, love the slave bracelet but the midi ring needed some alterations, I removed some links to make to chains shorter and cut one of the rings to make it smaller to fit like a midi ring because they are meant to be descending sizes but they were all the same size, so not exactly a well thought out ring, but its better now after my alterations.


Here, I bought this skirt a while back, it was in one of my earlier posts,  but haven't really worn it as I haven't like the ways that I could pair it, so I bought this cream bodysuit with this gorgeous Victorian yoke lace neckline, so now it is complete!!!

 So here is my first item that I got from H&M, its a cute jersey material slouchy tank which I love and I paired it with a bright orange tank underneath which I though would be super cute!


So Last but far from least, this gorgeous dress from H&M!!!!! Words cannot express how in LOVE I am with this dress!!!! Its, from what I have been able to establish from the internet, a slub jersey dress? I love how its somewhat see through, so you can wear things underneath and they will show through. I paired it with a black slip dress that I had from one of my lace dresses.
 So here I have basically gone with all black hence the title choice, it reminds me of something worn in the film The Craft.
 So to further embrace the witchy vibes I pulled my black cat into my pics here, obviously you can't be a witch without your trusty black cat! LOL. Although she was not having any of it.
 And here are my midi rings which I asked my mother to get for me because at that time I hadn't found any here yet, and a girl can never have enough accessories. Also from H&M, I love the antique look to these rings and all the different shapes and designs, very special ones these. 

So all in all I need to move to a country with H&M. That is the moral of this story. You hear me Obama, I need to move to America for the awesome clothes please! Thank you!
