Lookbook- Heir Of Slytherin

I think I must have mentioned this about 100 times over on the blog, but I really do despise winter. I hate the cold with a passion, so dressing nicely in winter time is always a challenge for me. That is exactly why I decided to reignite my passion for sharing my Lookbooks on here, in hopes that I can inspire myself and you guys, to be stylish this winter. It’s not easy to dress not only in jerseys and jeans, but make the effort to look nice, all while being warm. Today’s Lookbook is all about winter office wear, featuring some great pieces that I found in Zara and Witchery!

Whenever my friend Josie and I go shopping in Woolworths, we always stop at the 3 places that you have to stop at when shopping there- Country Road, Witchery and Trenery. We like to profile the woman that wears each brand, and we always joke around and say that a Country Road mom owns a horse, has a holiday home by the coast, and always picks her children up on time. We imagine the Trenery mom to be the PTA mom, the one who makes the world’s best cookies and manages the lift club. And the Witchery mom we imagine to be the fabulous mom, the one who drinks wine at noon and wears Gucci sunglasses where ever she goes. Well, I strive to be the fab Witchery mom, and I just generally love this brand and try and invest in a key item per season from them (because it is rather pricey). 2 years ago I bought a fabulous trench coat, last year I got a lovely dress, and this year I decided to invest in this gorgeous midi skirt!

 

Midi skirts are a great piece for summer and winter, because they can be worn with boots in winter and with pretty much anything else in the warmer months. I love pairing my skirts with thigh high boots, and these boots were the best investment that I made 3 years ago. Because snakeskin is such a hot print at the moment, I decided to just go for it and get this skirt(also because I couldn’t stop thinking about it when I tried it on!). I don’t normally recommend paying so much money for a “trend” piece, but this skirt is just an amazing quality that it blew me away. I love the slit on it because it adds a little bit of sexiness to an otherwise plain lenght, so if you love the skirt as much as I do, you can shop it right here, right now over on the Witchery tab on Woolworths.

It’s easy to stick to just neutral colors in winter, but a fun way to spruce up your wardrobe is to bring color through! I started to invest in colored jerseys a few years ago, and wearing a pop of pink, peach and red really does brighten up my day in winter! That’s why I got this jersey from Zara, because it brings a colorful element to an otherwise monochrome outfit. Winter doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom, it can also be fun and colorful! This jersey is currently on sale in Zara(not the green because it sold out but the brow) for a friendly price of R399! I also really love this yellow jersey from Cotton On(also on sale!)   and this red jersey from Mango on Superbalist.

Accessories are also a vital part of any outfit, and I invested in these earrings from Country Road back in January, and have just been obsessed with them! How gorgeous is the marble design? I also recently discovered Tessa Design over on Instagram, and this handy bag is just one of the things that I fell in love it! Tessa is also stocked at YDE, and you will see this brand pop up in a few more of my posts, because I just got the cutest things from there.

PS If you’re a Harry Potter fan you would appreciate the title of this post. My Harry Potter house is Slytherin, so a snake print, paired with the color of the house (which is green) made for an obvious choice for me as to what to name this lookbook 😉

Instagram post 2194484569861217817_206198477 Actual footage of me in 5 months time but on our honeymoon🥰We finally decided on our destination and booked our flights and resort and I couldn’t be more excited 😆 After much deliberation we settled on Maldives as we both felt like it is a once-in-a-lifetime holiday that deserves something grande(like an over-water villa 😉). If you’re still looking for a honeymoon destination, check our my blogpost about Honeymoons For Every Budget 💸Where did you go on honeymoon?
Instagram post 2192268505198681556_206198477 Me looking at December with this loving look like 🥰🥰🥰Honestly, 2019 has been such a busy year that I am so looking forward to the holidays and a little bit of a break. I’m not even doing anything exciting as we have saved all of our cash for honeymoon and wedding things, but I can’t wait to just sleep in, drink wine and relax. What are your December plans? PS this New Years Inspo outfit was shot by the lovely @shante.hutton.photography and will be up on the blog soon 🥰
Instagram post 2190942558071562146_206198477 Forever has a nice ring to it 🥰🥰🥰Less than 5 months to go until our wedding, and I’m finally feeling like I’ve got my ducks 🦆 in a row! Venue, dress, flowers, and decor is sorted, so only a few more things to tick off the list. Should I do a wedding planning update? Honestly it’s taken me a while to gather the best and some of the most budget friendly suppliers around Cape Town and feel like I should pass on the info ☺️ #DevineIDo
Instagram post 2185088803413446673_206198477 Fell in love with Bali 2 years ago, and haven’t stopped dreaming about it since 😍 Sometimes, some things happen in your life just when you need them, without ever realizing that you needed them in the first place. I was in a very strange place in my life when I went on this trip, and it was exactly what I needed to not only re-energize, but to gain my love of life back! Bali is a magical place, and I often hear people talk about how good it was for their soul, and I completely agree. After coming back from this trip a lot of things changed for me and I often think back to this moment and how it helped me heal 🙏🏻 Am I just crazy, or is Bali just that amazing? 😄
Instagram post 2183342537113508538_206198477 You know you’re getting old, when prospects of new carpets and floors excites you 😂 Last weekend I visited @carpetdecor_sa to check out their range of carpets, wooden floors, blinds(and more!), because I am officially at the age where I want to start spending money on getting new laminate floors rather than shoes(okay, that’s a bit drastic, maybe half-half😂). At @carpetdecor_sa you can get a free quote plus they are available in 11 branches all over the country(I visited the Fourways Showroom to get a feel for a full range). They are currently running a fab Love Your Home promo where you can win R5000(see their page for more details). I am dreaming of some pink carpets to go into my beauty room 😍 #homedecor #ad #carpetsandecor
