Hey family . .  Yess Family  :)  Today I’m not  going to  say much because I’m kind of caught up in a lot of things, but I just had to pass by here first. . I just can’t not come pay a visit to my closet.  . . . So I went to church this past Sunday . . as usual . .. well uhm YES AS USUAL  . . . It got me thinking and while I was busy conversing with myself it hit me that most people INCLUDING MY AUNT have the tendency of expecting people who go to church to dress in a certain manner . .  yes there are ways in which are known or considered to be inappropriate for church but then people tend to expect you to look dull and boring. Now tell me how the hell are you going to be able to attract people,especially youth  into going to church while you give them the impression that “you need to look dull for church”??  Seriously think about it .Well, in this lil mind of mine there’s a whole lot of different opinion about that . .I believe that you can look fashionable and yet still be appropriate for a church service.

oooh shoot me for being Awesome lol . . . this is how I looked this past Sunday .. sizzling hot I know hahah!!  . .. this is what I was talking about, you don’t have to be necessarily dull to be appropriate  for church . .  just a simple pencil skirt with a top of your choice, heels then accessorize. . You can even add a blazer on to it when you feel there’s a need for it. If you feel you’re not in the mood for heels then  you can wear pumps or sandals but I’d advise you to wear heels,they look much better with pencil skirt. Even my Aunt approved this one, I suppose I’m now her favorite niece :).

Look at her . .. she is way too proper, I have no words .. . . Please allow me to be rhetorical for a moment here, does this seem inappropriate to you ???  okay . . does this seem dull to you ?? NOPE ! NEVER!  in a million years. Just a simple short “enough” dress with a pair of heels,there you have it. . You don’t have to stress and sweat thinking about what you should wear to church, you have all the things there in front of you.. you just have to be open minded that’s all.

THE “SHELF”

I can’t leave without sharing this with you guys ..  Last Thursday was my friend’s and her sister’s birthday party ,Zipho Jho. Things were a bit  different from the usual birthday celebrations . The guests that include me of course and and Zipho and her sister Athi went for a photoshoot at Nahoon, Mr Mark Fredericks being the photographer .We changed into two attires ,one being in shorts,white tops and chucks the other being white dress and chucks.  The photoshoot was the most exciting part of the day I have to admit, I met different souls MY GOD!! Athi’s friends and herself, you’d swear we were the ones on our late twenties there .. those ladies sure know how to be young lol. . The funny part was that Athi and Zipho I two different souls .. Zipho is the reserved one and My God Athi is the loud one.. you’d swear Zipho is the older one hahah!! I had a lot of fun with them though. . . After the photoshoot we then went to hemingways mall to continue with the celebrations. .

The day

• Hellow closet diggers . . . so I went to a photo shoot for Ace models a couple of weeks ago .. each person was required to bring clothing items that describes a  random summer day . . and WOW the girls nailed it I tell you . . . from shorts to bum shorts, floral short jumpsuits , crop tops, boyfriend jeans etc . .As i was standing there watching the girls dressing up  I noticed something, this summer is going to be the best dressed summer ever. .  yes the girls have different type of styles but what i noticed was that they follow the same trend  . ..  If you want to join the trendy train I’d suggest you to at least have shorts in your closet,however  make sure they fit you well and you’re comfortable in them . . you don’t have to wear bum shorts just because everyone in your block or circle has them. . you can just own a pair of shorts and still look sizzling hot . .  Another thing you should take note of is a jump suit . . .  Jumpsuits are the new black I tell you , you know what I love about them is the fact that they look good on everyone. .  be it be short or long,if you chose the right size . . you’ll be every girl’s enemy . . hahah! yes enemy . .  you know us girls and hating. .  if she’s hotter than you ,she’s your enemy . . to sum everything up, don’t ever leave your house without a pair of shades . . NEVER!

• And so after the “casual summer wear” . . we were then requested to change into “formal evening wear” . . Remember now , it’s summer so we weren't expected to wear long ball dresses. .  be formal but still look at a bit chilled . ..  You know what I love about models, they know exactly what suits them well   . . . the ladies went straight to short cocktail dresses . .  If you have an eye for fashion you’ll definitely agree with the fact that cocktail dress gives you that formal,”uptight serious” look and that casual “I wanna play” kinda look at the same time. now I love flexible items . . you can either wear them to an award ceremony and yet still  wear them to a 21st or 40th  birthday party. .  ..  and of course bodycon dresses, there’s not much to say about them other than they’re are just PERFECT! yeahh no words. ..  Lastly, I know this is a female closet but lets face it we sometimes need the male figure,especially when it involves being formal.. in most cases events that requires us to wear formal clothing also requires a date . . am I telling the truth?. . . or am I telling the truth? hahah :) . . for guys it just a matter of losing the jacket or wearing a short sleeve shirt then they’re covered.

“THE SHELF”

• okay now this has nothing to do with the photo shoot I went to . . This is a photo that I randomly took from the street, I JUST had to  . . . this girl right here made my day . .  i just couldn't stop looking at her . . that white long dress and gold accessories made her look like an angel . . .  till next time

Hellowsss!! Gosh I couldn’t wait to blog this week. .I have a lot to say… Those of you who don’t know . . my school Walter Sisulu University hosted Mr AND Miss WSU 2014 this past Saturday and guess what I was one of the contests lol :)  . . .  Today I’ll mostly share about the experience I had with the other contestants throughout the week of rehearsals. I met crazy and exciting personalities I tell you. There was like 20 of us , 10 girls and 10 guys. At first, I won’t lie I didn't think we would get along the way we did..  you might not understand it but to me it felt like we were now a family. Being with them didn’t feel like being in a competition, it was more like a fun road to Ms WSU. . Yes we did have our differences but then we were able to sort them out. the one thing that I liked the most about us is the unity we had . .  I remember when we were told that the school was not going to provide hairstyles for us , each person should bring their own . .  We as the girls didn’t agree with the idea so then we decided that we are going to complain about that whether you can afford buying yourself or not for the sake of those who can’t.. . That was how much unity we had.

We are also a very playful  group of people lol .. .  there were times where we almost drove our choreographer MR G! crazy because we sometimes forgot that we had limited time to learn everything before the big night!! . . . We laughed about everything. . whether it’s serious  or not.. . We all had little concentration span so Mr G had to make sure that he teaches us the most important stuff in the first few hours then after that we out of control.. it’s we complain about being hungry or tired lol. . . . There’s a video that I took of the guys doing a dance routine that was not even part of the one that we performed on Saturday ..  it was just one of those playful moments lol. .

The night we all have been waiting for came . . We were all excited about the dance routine we were going to perform that night but also very nervous about the competition. The first item of the night was the dance  . . the dance was divided into two groups .. THE VINTAGE and THE MODERN, I was in the modern dance where we had to dance for the Rihanna song named … “found love”. . we were the rihannas of that moment I tell you. .we looked very sexy.. . here’s a glimpse of how we looked in the dance

Then came the swimwear. .  oohlala ahh! the girlss were HOT!! I’m going to be honest with you . . This was the part where we as the  contestants most hated and the part where the audience have been waiting for and loved!! I really didn't feel comfortable but ey.. when the photos came .. that all changed.. infact we all didn't think we would ROCK those bikinis I tell you.

Then came casual wear  . . here people had to show their  personalities and I give this one to the guys . . THEY  NAILED IT. . . What they wore really matched their personalities though . . crazy,sweet,smart, and of course good looking. They all had different styles but then they all looked trendy and fashionable hot. Here’s a glimpse of how they looked  . . BOYSS IN BUCCS  !!

Then came the formal wear. . We all looked very  beautiful and elegant. .  The girls took this one. . Not even words can describe how beautiful we were. . The work we went through to get those dresses lol . . it was war . .  hahaha!! l gotta share this one lol. . . So the school provided dresses for us and guess what, we didn't like  them .. so we decided  to complain about that as well and that  . . we were then given a choice.. it’s either one brings their own or wear the ones we don’t like  . . For a moment there we thought we played with fire lol  . . but then we also came with our terms and conditions . .  we concluded that if we are not given other dresses then we’re are not entering the competition . . guess what we won that battle.. we were then given other dresses.. look how we looked aaaahhh!!

After a long night we came to the moment that we all have been waiting for..  as we all know only 6 contestants from the 20 had to win . .  aand Fortunately for me I made it as the 1st princess . . yeeey!! I was happy about winning. . . Having the title of being “ms freshette” last year … and now “1st princess” this year. .  that’s a great achievement for me.

THE “SHELF”

This was one of the  greatest experience of my  life. when I look back I can’t help it but be very emotional when I think of how grateful I am to have met very beautiful souls I’ve came across this past week . . I didn't only make friends but they also regarded them as family.  Made me realise that sometimes in life you don’t only have to compete but also take time and learn other people’s personalities. I love them soo much that when I think about the whole of last week I can't help it but giggle to myself… TILL NEXT TIME MWAAAHHHH
