Poca and Poca Winter 2012

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In order for me to get to Poland, I would have to pay over 600 Euros to fly 11 hours, covering a distance of 8720km. But I think all that may just be worth it to shop Poca and Poca's Winter 2011-12 Collection. Designer Karolina Gniewek brings her unique vision to this enchanting brand, creating gorgeous and girly clothes with a retro twist. Each delightful piece is handmade in Poland, ensuring that special care and the highest quality is maintained. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For this season, Poca and Poca have brought together a delectable range of outfits in sugary sweet shades and ladylike looser-fit shapes. Ruffles and bows are a salient feature, adding an extra dose of prettiness to each piece. Key looks include frilly jumpsuits, high-waisted trousers, a sequined ape, flirty cotton dresses, silk blouses and alluring puffed shorts. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It's refreshing to see single toned fabrics, and an absence of prints. It makes these ensembles all the more timeless and versatile. A mini black bow tie and large hair bows enhance the charming, feminine theme. If Alice in Wonderland fell down a rabbit hole into 2012 and ever got tired of wearing that blue dress, she could always try on one of these endearing outfits.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx0_bSS7WMxslaZlooG6mzjR-YSr5m5DAgHjPLWu5OCjUuuYP3fl9uooGsfH6EY2UNVlVp0W9W199zk4cVygsu96mcOuwsu25s5qO9HTG1urTavBUs13Bm3AzfxKNs3ivuYMQKSfBN83Dz/s1600/poca3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx0_bSS7WMxslaZlooG6mzjR-YSr5m5DAgHjPLWu5OCjUuuYP3fl9uooGsfH6EY2UNVlVp0W9W199zk4cVygsu96mcOuwsu25s5qO9HTG1urTavBUs13Bm3AzfxKNs3ivuYMQKSfBN83Dz/s640/poca3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt-vrhcs13ZB1VTkSf82-JE6z9XHtHAW48BJl9x3dMj4K4tJ-rEYKkqzI8fF4op56R5IfCqltFpy0iZ8obPA3PP7qBz1cpAYrGDz9A8rb4wTRdmWIWgczoQZCiJgEmWEsqeknb5OgppCzD/s1600/poca2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt-vrhcs13ZB1VTkSf82-JE6z9XHtHAW48BJl9x3dMj4K4tJ-rEYKkqzI8fF4op56R5IfCqltFpy0iZ8obPA3PP7qBz1cpAYrGDz9A8rb4wTRdmWIWgczoQZCiJgEmWEsqeknb5OgppCzD/s640/poca2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyqcWv8BYouwcWWXlmRPbNX7EMrWTy8j2gpGOwddttncZSpZZVoS3cjeOQrXa8bTMg9o8sIPGGCMWbyyblwRc4cIyJJsP558in6w0SptmQkCQ5LM14Ph27bPNL5L_4ECvxtKf4vU8hK_ww/s1600/poca1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyqcWv8BYouwcWWXlmRPbNX7EMrWTy8j2gpGOwddttncZSpZZVoS3cjeOQrXa8bTMg9o8sIPGGCMWbyyblwRc4cIyJJsP558in6w0SptmQkCQ5LM14Ph27bPNL5L_4ECvxtKf4vU8hK_ww/s640/poca1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div>

The Many Coats Of Pippa Middleton

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Pippa Middleton</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Winter Street Style</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Pippa Middleton is hailed as a Brit It-Girl and fashion icon, admired for her sophisticated style and graceful demeanor. She has become widely known, along with her sister Kate Middleton, for their timeless style that is easy to attain. Pippa demonstrates that looking polished isn't always about high-end labels or high heels. The simplest of styles can be the most appealing. </div> For Winter 2011, Pippa has been sporting a variety of elegant coats, in different shapes, fabrics and colours. Pippa is an expert at making optimal use of her accessories, which is something we can all relate to. Her no-fail formula for a dashing winter's day work outfit are: A classic coat, black tights or skinny jeans, a deluxe leather handbag, knee-high boots and a voguish pair of Chanel sunglasses. And she gets it right every time. Here is some street style inspiration featuring the many coats from the closet of Pippa Middleton. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLVom_sAssd2PiwRmTJycxVQizcuNPhdhfIlfUZggFOB48TASP_95RM4QG9Jtb82pLw64CbMGNYU8eDFn21Siq1kOokUnuX8bEsYYIBiID-anYc5xicfV6GBHsHgwHI5R8V0C9y62V2ozy/s1600/pippa1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLVom_sAssd2PiwRmTJycxVQizcuNPhdhfIlfUZggFOB48TASP_95RM4QG9Jtb82pLw64CbMGNYU8eDFn21Siq1kOokUnuX8bEsYYIBiID-anYc5xicfV6GBHsHgwHI5R8V0C9y62V2ozy/s640/pippa1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1.

Hoss Intropia Winter 2011

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Spain has given us some remarkable fashion brands; Zara, Bershka, Pull & Bear and Mango, each with their own massive cult following. Hoss Intropia is another one of those inspiring brands, but unlike the contemporary feel of the others, this fashion franchise marches to the beat of it's own folkloric drum.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For Fall/Winter 2011, Hoss Intropia paints a bohemian picture in earthy shades of brown, cream, tan, khaki and black. The attention to unconventional detailing is what distinguishes the brand from its counterparts. They create their own unique prints and focus on innovative cuts, hand-beading and embroidery and mixing textures, using quality fabrics. The collection has the charm of a romantic countryside, with military-inspired masculine tailoring. Each eclectic ensemble tells a story of sophisticated style and laid-back elegance.  </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Tuesday Thrills - Mishah Designs

Mishah Designs Day Wear & Accessories I'm always excited about discovering fantastic new South African brands, and when I came across Mishah Designs, I knew I was onto a good thing. This Cape Town-based fashion brand has been creating trendy and exclusive womenswear since 2008. Zahra Effendi is a talented designer and stylist who works for the label. Her design principle is based on an instant response to the fashion market.  What I love about Mishah Designs is that all the pieces are so practical and wearable. There are pretty printed dresses that entice with it's feminine flair, and modern pieces that render a youthful charm. The typical Mishah-dressed woman is stylish and confident, without any airs.  The beautiful range also extends to accessories; bags, scarves and belts, all made with the same fine quality and assiduity. These are some garments from their Spring 2011 Collection. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7m8Xs9QvEoSdH2Szv0YOLbBJFuOamokLFfiXZ9kzbMYO6ZLFCcgDK3eTC1cBJJTwrfX3BnqR7g8ch9eO8sQjyIXvN6v7w2d9GH5TIS9GcLVH2Nc-8uNRNV41OUg289LSm2Y9PFp_v79Go/s1600/misha+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7m8Xs9QvEoSdH2Szv0YOLbBJFuOamokLFfiXZ9kzbMYO6ZLFCcgDK3eTC1cBJJTwrfX3BnqR7g8ch9eO8sQjyIXvN6v7w2d9GH5TIS9GcLVH2Nc-8uNRNV41OUg289LSm2Y9PFp_v79Go/s640/misha+1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>1.

What inspires her the most as a designer is people. She says "I can get lost for hours watching people pass by, the way they are dressed, the way they carry the things they wear. There is nothing more inspiring to me than street fashion, the combination of colour and texture, the endless array of people's choices of clothing and accessores in their everyday life as they go about their days. Whether it be for work or fun or a quick run to the local cafe or market.  With a few of her fab outfits already featured in Elle and Fairlady magazine, Zahra has a bright and long future ahead in fashion. Garments from Mishah Designs are available from selected boutiques at the V&A Waterfront, Canal Walk and Gardens Centre. The range is also sold at Cquinz at 182c Main Road Sea Point, Cape Town. For more information, you can contact Mishah Designs on (021) 434 7505. Alternately, visit their <a href="http://www.mishah.co.za/">website</a> or <a href="http://mishahdesigns.blogspot.com/">blog</a>, which is updated by Zahra. I'm looking forward to seeing Mishah Designs expand, with more stockists in the rest of country. All the best.

Burberry Blue Label - Spring/Summer 2011

Burberry Blue Label Spring/Summer Collection 2011 Burberry Blue Label has created a Brit chic, high street fashion collection for Spring/Summer 2011. The centerpiece of the range is this season's trendy trench coat, seen in different colours and fabrics. The conservative colour palette includes deep red, navy blue, creamy beige and black.

Tuesday Thrills - Tashkaya Clothing

Tashkaya  Winter 2011 Collection When I think of comfortable, beautiful and laid-back fashion, Tashkaya comes to mind. Talented South African designer, Natasha Teplitsky launched her clothing brand 2 years ago, which she continues to nurture with care and dedication. The eclectic Tashkaya line represents Natasha's international influences and her passion for high-quality, timeless pieces of clothing. This winter, Natasha combines luxurious fabrics with simplistic designs; creating a collection that is wearable and stylish without being fussy. I admire her design aesthetic, which remains true to her individuality and Boho-mod sense of style. Natasha doesn't emulate international runway trends, she creates her own.  The latest Tashkaya collection embodies casual elegance, with versatile clothes that can be worn on any occasion. Each item can be styled in different ways. Accessorize with cute woolly berets, chunky scarves and a skinny leather belt. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxO-tnUWkC9fxgTUq1eELyuLmDIJ5f6PmhTDcU5aFdOWsffACmYPP-2PAOqr7KPi90ZiAvdGvX0AtvHTj6Q8upzCQ3BXTu7PiBq57P07SIUgYAhgZy8VeB_Mw9zh80SXpIRKrsi6vkuuo/s1600/tashkaya.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxO-tnUWkC9fxgTUq1eELyuLmDIJ5f6PmhTDcU5aFdOWsffACmYPP-2PAOqr7KPi90ZiAvdGvX0AtvHTj6Q8upzCQ3BXTu7PiBq57P07SIUgYAhgZy8VeB_Mw9zh80SXpIRKrsi6vkuuo/s640/tashkaya.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> 1.
