Hey Gorgoeus Babes

I can't believe its already the end of the year.. its crazeee, and today is a psecial day in South Africa, our father of the nation Nelson Mandela has passed away.. Very sad but he lived an amazing life and has impacted everyone across the world so that race, colour and class can be one.

So my gorgeous babies, if you are from Durban and schooled at Maris Stella between 2006-2008 then you woud have known this young lady by the name of [Sam Laskey], who today the world knows as the NEW face of G L A M O U R France which she featured on the November Issue this year.. Yesss, FRANCE!!! I was so surprised when I saw this article when I was reading MishConfirmed's blog and realised, Oh shux, I remember this chick, she was at school with me and look at her now. So I had to write up an article about this..

These pictures were taken by photographer Adrian Mesko who captured our South African Sshmodel Sam in oversized coats and Virginie Benarroch designer sneakers proving you don't need heels to be stylish. Miss Laskey played the role of a Tv reporter in the city, struting the designs of Stella McCartney, Saint Laurent, Hugo Boss... Need I say more, is South Africa finally being put on the map??

Whats your thoughts? Let me know and I hope you have a fab week my lovelies!!

Let me know if you would like me to do a Summer Lookbook??

So over the weekend I attended a Youth Year End function at my boyfriends church and the theme was Dress for Success, Own your Success.. Do you think I dressed the part??

I bought these red heels a couple months ago on special and have not had the chance to wear them, so that night was the perfect night to strut them out. And this leather skirt, don't you just LOVE!! I know right, hot hey??

Love my outfit?? Please let me know! And if you haven't yet, please SUBSCRIBE to my beauty channel here and let me know what videos you would like to see!

Have a fab week hunnies!!

So while I was in Johannesburg this past weekend, we experienced the BEST weather, talk about summer trying to get back at us with degrees eaching 32 on Saturday, and I thought it was the perefect time to take out my summer dress from back in the day.

What do you think of it?

I bought it at Essenwood Flea Market a couple years back for R200 and it still looks awesome don't you think?

This past weekend I took a short trip with my family to Johannesburg to attend a family friends Engagement party, and what a beautiful party it was. So romantic and so beautiful, if you a hopeless romantic you would have loved it!! So for the event I decided to dress very feminine and my whole outfit I purchased from my FAVOURITE store Mr Price!

Besides the party I also managed to sneak in SA Fashion Week. I got to see shows from Loxion Kulca, Narainsamy by Mike and Sons and Ephymol !!

Now its back to work and reality, busy busy week ahead!
Hope you like my look, let me know what you think??

PRINTS PRINTS!! They are so in for Spring/Summer and today with our gorgeous sunny weather in Durban, South Africa, today was the perfect day to wear my Aztec dress from Mr Price. I have had this dress tucked away in my closet for a while now and I finally decided to give it a go and it actually looks stunning. I paired it with my fav Leopard Print necklace from Legit and some tie-up sandals.

What do you think?

The weather in Durban lately is amazing, perfect to strut some wedges and show my legs that have been in hiding this past winter!!
I am loving my statement Tees from Mr Price and for the price I had to buy a few. The one I'm wearing is the cutest and perfect title for today's OOTD post. I paired it with my most famous wedges from Cotton On and a faux pastel pink skirt also from Mr Price.

Hope you having a fab week my beauties.

If you didn't know by now, then let me get you up to date about my shopping passion, I love shopping for a bargain and I love shopping at Mr Price stores. So when I came across these shoes I was actually so excited because I did not have to pay an arm and a leg for it to get the same trends that are seen on the catwalks and in high end stores like Zara.

Today I found 3 pairs of shoes which I spotted in Zara and Mr Price and if they are not identical then have the exact colour or detail strapping. So if you still want to have the latest fashion but can't afford to pay Zara's prices, then I suggest get your self down to a Mr Price store and shop.

Everyone always asks me how do I find my clothes and shoes?? It just takes looking around in the store and keeping your eye out!! You can still wear the latest trends this Spring without forking out your whole pay check ladies!!

Here are some examples which I found and put together for you my lovely fashionistas!!

Let me know if you want more posts like this where I find bargains and awesome discounts or "look for less".

So it was an awesome long weekend here in South Africa, something I really needed. In the hustle and bustle of planning my boyfriends birthday and attending a wedding on the Friday, all in all the weekend ended up to be absolutely awesome...

This OOTD involves one of my FAV colours, Teal/ Turquoise/ Mint... Thought I would do a bright look.. My inspiration is from Kim Kardashians look she did sometime ago:

So today we have the honor of introducing a gorgeous young lady from Johannesburg South Africa, Marlize Liebenberg from the awesome blog KandyKaneLove, who we happened to stumble upon on YouTube on one of our FAV youtube guru's Carli Bel. She shares the same love for God and passion for all things beauty that we at Canvas Fashion share too.

Hey Lovelies

So this weekend was The Vodacom Durban July which sadly I did not attend.. I know right, how boring and lame am I... But I did not organize things properly so a couple mates and I decide to throw our very own July themed party at my mates house.. We dressed to the theme "Posh Oh My Gosh" which was the theme at the Durban July. I tell you we got kitted out like we had attended the event, but it was just the fun of it. The guys even went to the betting station to be a part of it and we watched it on tv and had a braai (barbeque) and drinks. So it ended up being awesome, I mean we had good company and we were dressed up.. So all in all it was fun, but we have made a HUGGGGEEE promise that next year we are attending the July.

But I took a few snaps of us in action, hope you enjoy!!

Let me know what video's you would like to see??

Have GLAM weekend hunnies..

Hey Lovelies

So over the past weekend my family and I drover to Johannesburg, (hmm and what a long journey it was), and it was FREEZING!! I think because I stay in Durban, we don't really have the "true" winter experience and mind you, my body was in for a shock... I finally got my hands on a Onesie from MrPrice Fashion which was the cutest and warmest and the place we stayed at had electric blankets and a heater so we were set.. NOOOO!! It was still so cold,, one of the days we woke up and the car was covered in Ice, and I was hoping it would snow because I still have yet to experience snow, I know lame old me LOL.

But any who, the overall stay was awesome, wen to see Soweto, Sandton City and their China Mall which is AMAZEEE since I love a bargin!! :-)

Well the whole purpose for going away that weekend was for my sister who started her first day as a Candidate Attorney, so proud of her. I ended up coming home early though because I had work on the Monday so at least I was there to have some laughs with my family.

I did manage to take few snaps of my weekend, hope you enjoy!!
