HOW TO STYLE BROGUE SHOES | CHANGE OF SEASON

The shoe that makes it work!

It's that time of year again, where the seasons are changing and you don't want to dress too hot or too cold. 

The Brogue shoe, similar to the Oxford shoe, is my go-to shoe when the seasons begin to change. 

Keeping it casual, I love to pair these shoes with a pair of jeans and a warm jumper when it starts getting more chilly, or in the case where I might get too hot, I pair it with a t-shirt and jeans. Simple yet elegant don't you think? 

The Brogue shoe has some sort of elegance to it, that turns a simple outfit into something rather classy. 

I love these suede Brogues from Kurt Geiger, which to all my South African followers can be bought at Spitz. Although I chose this sand beige colour Brogue, it does happen to come in another two shades, namely, black and navy blue. I think the colours were perfectly chosen to be versatile with any outfit you choose to wear.

The best thing about a Brogue shoe is that is matches pretty much any outfit and can be either styled up or down. You can wear your Brogue shoes with skinny jeans, boyfriend jeans, dresses, skirts and can even pair them with cute socks. I literally live in my brogue shoes, especially when I want to avoid wearing heels.

I suppose the point I am trying to make here, is that Brogues are most definitely not out of fashion and will continue to be trending for a while. I think they are classic shoes that won't disappear anytime soon.

KIEHL'S | CHANGE YOUR SKIN

Looking for a skin care range that will change your skin?!

Look no further - Kiehl's have challenged me to put their products to the ultimate skincare test. As some of you may know, I am very big into looking after my skin. It is so important to find the right skincare products that work for you. 

Over the next 4 weeks I will solely be using these four Kiehl's products in my skincare routine and updating you on how these products have made my skin feel. So keep posted for updates on my InstaStories!

I have already started using these products for the past week, and I must say they have exceeded my expectations. Not only do I love the packaging (yes I am a sucker for pretty products) but I also love how well these products absorb into my skin and make my skin feel so nourished. 

Let's start with the Calendula Deep Cleaning Foaming Face Wash:

This gel based cleanser activates when combined with water to a create a creamy foam that is really gentle on the skin. I love how this face wash completely removes any makeup residue, impurities as well as dirt in the pores. It contains Calendula flower extract and gylcerin which helps replenish the skin without removing essential moister from your skin.  

The Ultra Facial Moisturizer is honestly the best moisturizer I have ever used. I am not just saying this! I swear, Kiehl's have perfected this moisturizer. It has two amazing qualities which for me is so important when using a moisturizer. Firstly it contains an SPF 30 in it. I mean this is soooo important, I cannot stress enough how important it is for you to apply SPF on your face on a daily basis. Now instead of having to apply a moisturizer and then a SPF, the Kiehl's Ultra Facial Moisturizer contains both the moisturizer and the SPF in one. I honestly couldn't think of anything better than that! With saying that, the second quality that literally had me obsessed with this moisturizer, is the way it makes your skin feel. It deeply nourishes the skin leaving it soft and smooth. I am not exaggerating when I say that this moisturizer makes your skin feel like porcelain. I honestly could not believe how soft my skin felt when I applied it on for the first time. (literally so obsessed!)

OMG, let's talk about this Avocado Eye Cream! 

I have tested many eye cream's out in the past and I have always hated the way they irritated my eyes. This Avocado Eye Cream from Kiehl's is really thick and rich, however, is not filled with chemical's that burn or aggravate the skin or eyes. It contains natural elements and avocado oil which soothes the skin and rejuvenating the skin under the eyes making you look awake and fresh. It eliminates any dark circles under the eyes as well. 

Last but not least, I have been using the magical Midnight Recover Concentrate at night before I go to bed. This facial oil really restores the skin overnight and by the morning your skin is glowing ! I apply a few drops on my face after I have cleansed my skin and then gentle massage the oil into my skin. What I love about this oil is that it is light on the skin and doesn't block your pores.

 

I am so happy with the results thus far and I can't wait to tell you more about my  #ChangeYourSkin challenge at the end of the 4 weeks. 

Keep posted for more updates on these products on my Instagram & InstaStories.

HOW TO STYLE MULES | CARVELA STYLE

Mules, Mules, Mules.... everybody is wearing mules! 

The latest and most awesome re-addition to the fashion world is a pair of mules. 

If you don't have a pair of mules, whatever the brand may be, I highly suggest getting your hands (actually feet) on a pair of mules. 

In my recent collaboration with Carvela and Spitz Shoes, I picked out this amazingly gorgeous pair of mules from the Carvela Luxe Collection. It was a tough decision to choose which colour mules I wanted to get, as I could of easily chosen the black, maroon and brown mules (but then again that would just be greedy- although in fashion one can be greedy for more right?!?) 

In the end I decided to go with these chocolate brown colour mules, as I thought they would be the most versiitle (however, the more I think about it, the more I come to the conclusion that all three colours are so versitile in any case). 

Speaking of being versitile, I think mules are pretty much one of the only shoes that can be paired with absolutely any outfit you wear! If you have no shoes to wear with your outfit, choose your mules, you won't go wrong!

I have been living in my mules ever since I received these babies and I have to say they are one of my favourite pair of shoes. Not only are they super pretty (yes I stare at my shoes a lot) but they are also such comfortable and soft shoes to wear. 

I am most definitely going to get myself the other colour mules from Carvela and yes when my budget allows for it, I hope to get my feet into a pair of Gucci mules too!
