#Perspective / The scent of autumn

Although the woody ‘base note’ remains the same, the overall scent of autumn may smell slightly different each day. The base note of this scent, which is dried leaves decaying, is constant.

Dreams in the Daytime: Styling ideas for daytime parties

At long last, the arduous days of summer are slowly but surely creeping away. Albeit at a snail’s pace, but we are happy nonetheless and the possibilities of winter days filled with celebrations are getting us excited and rightly so! A party on a winter day is cherry on the cake! Think romance, elegance, sparkle and sophistication! Your winter daytime event wardrobe must combine all of the aforementioned elements and then some. Subtlety is the name of the game, and yet it should stand out as well.

Autumn fashion to keep you warm, cosy and stylish!

Autumn comes to us for a very short period, but it is one of the most fashionable times of the year. This year, we have all witnessed extraordinary fashion ideas from high-end designers to street-style fashion worldwide. The autumn fashion colours, this season, are influenced by the ‘70s style earthy tone. Do not miss the chance to add some golden yellow, burnt mustard, emerald green, and neutral tones of brown to your shopping list.

Kaftans: Breezing through autumn

Length, sleeve and neck; there is a lot to play around with when it comes to the nifty kaftan. V-necks, or boat necks, squared or ballooned sleeves, long kameezes or shorter resort wear, the kaftan enhances any chosen style. The loose cut of the garment makes ventilation possible, and this attribute makes it one of the top choices of attire for those living in hotter climates. Comfortable to boot, women have been known to be partial to kaftans as sleepwear too!

#Perspective / Autumn has arrived!

I smell the fragrance of fall in the air. The morning air is crisp, the leaves are turning, the days are getting shorter, and the temperature is dipping. The quilts are out, the comforters are in. Summer dresses are out, sweaters and light jackets are in. While the aforementioned changes are easier to adjust to, it is my garden and its changing appearance that asks me of my patience, for it is going to be a long wait before my garden dresses up in a myriad of colours afresh.
