Fashion Trends Elizabeth Galloway Fashion Show

The Elizabeth Galloway 3rd years' Fashion Show.

A night of fashion, taste and style.

A night of something new, fresh and bold.

A night of showcasing some of South Africa's greatest upcoming talents.

The room was filled with guests from all over, blasting music, a white runway, and talented designers. The third years' Fashion Show at the Protea Hotel, Techno Park, in Stellenbosch occurred on the 20th June. The evening went smoothly, with carefully chosen music that matched each student's collection. The students made three outfits that followed a specific theme that they had chosen themselves. Some of the finest jackets, pants, dresses, shirts, etc. had walked that runway that evening. It was spectacular to watch.

My trusty camera came handy, and I shot as many photos from the second row, as I could. I think the woman in front of me became irritated, I mean I would too, if there was a camera gawking at the side of my head!

Fashion Trends Dramatic Fusion

Courage and Candy.

Courage and Candy.

Courage and Candy.

Need I say more?

I am obsessed with this skirt. It's definitely perfect for a night out! Leather had a popular request this season, making this skirt very trendy. This skirt in particular, is quite clever. The cut of the leather, is a smaller version of the skirt in whole, and it is placed in a central position. This little trick makes the hips actually look smaller. Love love LOVE it. 

High cut tops have been on a high this Summer. So why not infuse it into some Winter clothing? This pale, grey, jersey is an example of this new trend. It's baggy, fun, lightweight, and carries elements of the late 80's grunge style. This jersey is completely free spirited, making it, in other words, hassle free. 

Animal print. It always comes and goes. But I think it's quite genius. We found this vibrant scarf in Courage and Candy. It's rich in color, bright in pattern, and it's the perfect 'topping' to your complete style. It enlightened the entire look with it's bouncy, fun, and rusty colors. 

I finished of the look by pairing it with my Army boots from Queue, and with some over exaggerated make up, giving this look a dramatic flair.

Thus: Dramatic Fusion

Enjoy <3

Fashion Trends Don't judge, before you know my true colors

Okay SO this range of absolutely amazing photos is about to come to an end :( Super sad. Yes. I know. 

But hey, the clothes are available in Courage and Candy in Stellenbosch, so for all the Locals, I advise you to give that magnificent little shop a visit after exams, or just in general!

The tights are just something original. With the jungle-like design, it evokes a certain emotion towards the piece itself, leaving you with the idea that this girl doesn't play around. With my army boots, which I got from Queue, and the baggy jersey, also from Courage and Candy, we get a look that rocks, and rolls. I love it. 

Enjoy!!

Fashion Trends American.

American Flag shorts.


For so long, I have searched for this plain and energetic short. As few may know, I am completely obsessed with America. A few posts back, I wrote about The Lot, a clothing store I found in Cape Town. Their clothes are amazing! To make it better, they received new stock, and the American Flag shorts were among them. 


Why, oh, why do I think it's probably the best shorts ever?
First of all, it's different. It's not the usual ripped jean shorts available at, well, EVERY clothing store. Secondly, it's out of the ordinary. I'm sure some won't even have the guts to wear it. AND lastly, it's uber edgy. Which I, of course, Adore. See for yourself <3

Yes. They have two kinds of shorts. What are you waiting for, Go get 'em!

Fashion Trends Saltwater GIRL - The best

This morning was probably the best morning. EVER. 

So I am the proud owner of Saltwater GIRL's Blogger of the Month title, for April. I woke up, bored as usual. Got dressed. Ate. Started to study. As I opened my Afrikaans poetry book, my mother called me... Apparently I had a package arrival? 


Opening the front door, was a man with a brown box. I signed it off, and opened it. Now, I would like to thank Saltwater GIRL Magazine, for the Paris Hilton watch, the Roxy Bag, and the amazing Revlon products. What way to start the day?


You guys rock, Thank you for being the BEST MAGAZINE ever xx

Fashion Trends Behind these fallen Leaves

Just to speed this up a bit, I�ve decided to collaborate two outfits. In other words, MORE PHOTOS! YAY.

Though for the next few days, exams have taken my soul, and tragically, yes, posting will be limited. I will try my best. The collection of Miss de Lange is nearly complete!

Firstly, we�ve got a look I�d like to describe as Wild One. When I saw this dress in Courage and Candy, I immediately formed an idealistic image in my head. And Voila! I got it right to perfection. She wore a skin tight green dress, with minimum black floral pattern amongst the shoulders. Black Army boots to match the detailed floral, and a dash of chaos, with brightly pink lips. Identifying this look with a song: �Girls, just wanna have fun�� This five letter clause takes an entire explanation of going ON and on about how it works, why it works, etc. in just a second. You can be the judge of it of course; this is only an opinion of mine!

Look number two: Misty in the dawns of Morning.

Eerie, light, spirited, FREE. Deep Blue jeans, a stunning striped cardigan, feather light pastel top, and wedged booties to die for. The morning light worked in absolute perfection. The contrasts between the natural background and the soft colours of the clothing worked stunningly. These elements are now combined with a model that walks tall, without a care in reality, posing with grace and purity. I introduce to you, Misty in the dawns of Morning.

NEWS FLASH. My favourite model, Ashley de Lange, recently participated in a Acting Competition ( Stad Kaapstad Toneel kompetisie) and became the proud owner of the second place. Intense and stressful, she managed through school and other teenage activities, with her piece, �Ophelia drowns in a tumbler with Ice�. I can guarantee it must�ve been a performance to see. The stage is her platform, the lights are her allies and the audience: her pets. She works wonders, when her feet reach the steps. I give a HUGE shout out of congratulations, who accomplished a success as notorious as this. Well done, Ashley <3

Fashion Trends Lost in a Hopeless Place

Hopefully you, the reader, forgive me, for I have sinned. I have waited far too long since my previous post! I apologize. 
Anyhow. For this photography session, we decided on a look, that was obviously, inspired by the timeless and legendary fashion Icon, Marilyn Monroe. We unconsciously modernized her memorable white dress look, something I only realized after. A plain black dress, tainted with a few Marilyn aspects. The back is plain and stunning. Too keep it from getting draggy, I paired it with a pair of BRIGHT red shoes from Zoom. Oh, and red lips of course! A mysterious dress. Playful, yet cautious. You're probably thinking, how on earth could a dress be cautious? Well, I'm no Einstein, but this is as good as I can describe it! <3


As always, I love it. It is not the usual "too-tight-to-walk-in" dress that I see at, basically, EVERY dance. It gives an eerie feeling, one that I of course adore! Enjoy the pictures, please do. and do not forget to follow me through Bloglovin :)
