Save some Space
I absolutely love these great ways of saving space just by using floating shelves and cubes. Placing them at different heights also creates a more interesting look.

Rocking the leather mini!!
2011 scream bold and daring including items such as feathers, rock and roll decorative elements like metal ornaments and leather skirts. Think 1950s flared or 1980s fitted leather skirts, paired with knee high boots or flats for a more toned down look. A balance in the rest of your outfit is essential to refrain from appearing tacky. The right fit is also necessary to keep the look.
How to rock your leather skirt
Keep it high waisted. People have a misperception that only a size 8 can pull of a high waisted skirt. This style will accentuate your waist and flaunt your figure in a sexy yet classy way. Pick a short a lined skirt or a full length straight cut one. There are plenty of options – much more than all the body types put together!
Keep the rest of your outfit plain: Your idea should be sassy, yet wholesome image, not Tina Turner grimace! Pair your skirt with a crop top, baggy shirt and tights with a flat boot to keep it chic. Keep in mind to wear minimal accessories – the skirt should catch enough attention J Opt for a pastel coloured skirt like Victoria Beckham for a more innocent yet adventurous look.
Be confident: Wear your skirt with pride and poise and see the heads turning.
Ons kan n section doen oor history van sekere items ook bv die mini skirt:
A brief interesting history of the mini skirt ( hierdie deel is nie my eie woorde)
When a young upstart British designer named Mary Quant opened her boutique Bazaar in 1955 on King’s Road (a mod and rocker hangout), she was poised to spearhead a fashion revolution. Without any real training in fashion, but with a finger on the pulse of everyday fashion of the street, she represented a distinctive breakaway in fashion and invented the mini. She began to sell clothes that reflected the ideas of the day’s youth and that had nothing to do with established Paris fashion houses (Lehnert 2000).
Lets crop it!!
There is no way rocking your summer look without this key item!! The 70′s inspired crop top will make any summer outfit scream with hotness. From prints, stripes or plains its an absolute must have. Wear it with your denim shorts or skinny jeans or if you really want the complete 70′s look wear it with a stunning long flared skirt!!

Style with some Bunting
Use bunting to light up any room or space. From outdoor to your bedroom these pretty little flags really light up a room. We sell our bunting from R100 and can also custom order your perfect colour combo or whatever your heart desires.
Looking forward to colour blocking!!
This runway trend is a must-have to follow for summer 2011. Pack away all your neutrals and FORGET black as a basic. Mix and match your entire outfit by using only bright and bold colours. Don’t be scared to really go wild , this is a fun and adventurous look that just WORKS!!!
