Spicing up my wardrobe.

I recently realised that I was in desperate need of a wardrobe make over. It came as a result of the fact that my family and friends were noticing a rotation patter happening. This was NOT good. So slowly but surely I have made a change. Here are the most recent additions to my wardrobe. I am hoping they will spice it up a bit.

Yesterday my mum and I decided to venture into the city and take a "quick" look at Zara. Well a "quick" look turned into 3 hours but we had so much fun. 

Today:  The result of wearing the items above together topped off with a Camilla & Marc blazer.

Fear of the front row. Please reconsider, at least for the sake of my neck.

Over the weekend I went to the movies and it started up a discussion, a trivial discussion but a discussion it was. It came about as a result leaving the ticket purchase up to 10 minutes before the session on a Sunday. We were faced with the choice of front row or none at all. While the pros and cons were discussed; will it be too painful to sit through a film whilst craning our necks only to have a warped view of these already oversize people or will the fact that is a comedy and perhaps an entertaining one at that make up for all the aches and pains? 

While the decision was being discussed amongst family, it struck me; this is ridiculous, why so close? I thought. Why position seats so close to such a large screen? Well apart from the fact that it is a business enterprise and obviously revenue is the aim, why? 

Yes, yes I know there actually has to be a front row (obviously) and maybe the discussion of whether it is too close will always be relevant as it is a relative issue but honestly, are you trying to inflict pain? If you must have seats so close consider a discount because no one really likes sitting that close do they? There is just no comfort it sitting so close. 

So after pondering this question I propose to those who specialist in cinematic comfort this; reconsider the closeness of the front row. If those employing you insist, tell them this; no one wants to purchase front row tickets if they don't have to so by moving the front row back you will always sell out. While there are suckers like me and my family who just must see the movie regardless of the row, many will just turn away. You will lose a sale; you may even incur many a complaint from those patrons who chose to subject themselves to such torture and in fact sit through a terrible film in a terrible seat. 

In conclusion, by moving the front row back just a bit so that those in the respective front row do not need to slide down and perch their buttocks on the edge of the seat to begin to view the screen, you will in actual fact improve the movie going experience and make for very happy customers who will continue to come back without fear of the front row.

The Maxi Queen

Thought it was time I do an outfit post. These outfits a true to my style. Throughout summer I have lived in maxis and I am currently looking for ways to incorporate them into my wardrobe year round. I always feel comfortable and confident in them and I love that they give off an effortless, relaxed and chic vibe. I guess you might call me the Maxi Queen.

The Little Black Dress

“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”
                        - Coco Chanel

The Little Black Dress: The must have in every woman's wardrobe. The go-to when one is stuck for ideas. The fail safe. Work function appropriate, whilst sexy, chic and of course flattering.
The quest for the little black dress is never ending. Women have been on the hunt since the 1920s when Coco Chanel made it the center piece for the sophisticated woman's wardrobe.
Just when I think I have found perfection in the form of a strapless Chloe number along comes the Herve Leger. While reviewing my closet yesterday while searching for the perfect work Christmas Party outfit I decided, as per usual, I have nothing to wear. Yet amongst the 'nothing to wear' I have discovered at least 8 LBD's which at their time of purchase were "perfect."

What sets apart the average little black dress from it's perfect counterparts? When do we know we have found perfection that will take us not only through the countless functions and events but transend trends and decades? As each of us look for something that flatters, accentuates, slims, tucks, pushes up we get carried away. When do we stop? How many is too many?


I, for one will never know; but always remember, cost per wear is the best justification and we all need a black dress right?
