Vintage Lifestyle Magazine Feature

My first magazine feature and I am so elated!!! Yes... I danced around my home like a little girl when I was contacted to do this interview. Vintage Lifestyle Magazine now known as Georgette Magazine is a South African based online magazine inspired by all things vintage. It is such an amazing honor to be featured in not just any magazine but a magazine that I actually love reading. It is such a whimsical magazine and if you haven't been reading it I definitely recommend you start reading it. It is the perfect balance of modern and vintage, how to incorporate vintage ideas, fashion, art, etc into today. I enjoy the fact that Vintage Lifestyle Magazine is very inspiring and at the same time educational. You can travel the world through the eyes of many different people, garner great home décor ideas, enjoy the many different forms of art, and of course, absolutely gorgeous vintage as well as vintage inspired fashion. I did an interview on People & Places and you can read the entire interview here from page 80-87.

Thank you to Nicole Danielle Warr, Founder and Editor at Vintage Lifestyle Magazine and thank you to the entire team!!!

Vintage Wedding Dress Code

My husband and I just got back from Michigan. We were attending one of my longtime friend's wedding. We have been friends since primary school back home in Zimbabwe. We attended the same high school. She was my tennis partner in doubles at high school. We lived in the same area back home. We have so many good memories together. Now she lives in Chicago and I'm in New York... years later and we are still friends. Even if we don't talk for months, whenever we talk it's like we were never apart. It is so important to build solid friendships. 

It was such a beautiful wedding and we had so much fun. She looked like a queen in her Nigerian garb and so beautiful in her wedding gown. My heart was so full to see her so happy and I was at peace to see how much her new husband loves her and loves God. What more could you ask for... 

This is what I wore to the wedding...

Ode to Flowerless Fields

Fallow ground, yellow withered grass

Naked trees

Snow white flakes, mixed with drops of rain

Why did the petals fall

Sky is blue, Clouds are grey

Where is the balance of green 

Splashes of purple, pink, and red

Waiting for fields of flowers

From one flower to another. There is a time and season for everything.

All shades of white

I know black and white is a trend right now but I have never been one to follow trends. I prefer style over trend any day and in my opinion white is quite stylish. White is such a refreshing color and looks great on all skin tones. I think every lady's closet should consist of a few white pieces and if you are like me and like to dress your man then his closet shouldn't shy away from white either. The key is to pick a shade of white that works great with your skin tone. White is great because it can be worn year round. Whether you do winter white or wear it in the summer, white is perfect for all seasons. I have been crushing on white lately.

Free People 0313 Collection - Flower Fields

If I was asked to pick one exclusive store to shop from, besides my store, that store would definitely be Free People. The same feeling I get when I go vintage shopping is the same feeling I get when walk into Free People.

Black Texture

I fell in love with a vintage textured sweater and that is all...

I find that the key to wearing all black is to include or layer many different textures and fabrics. This helps to create contrast and interest. This sweater is so cosy and perfect for adding contrast to an otherwise simple outfit. 

And yes, it is still wintry so layering is still essential... I am ready for Spring.
