Style Diaries: Green with life!

Hey Guys, Style diaries is a new section of the blog.I will be sharing with you from time to time, it will generally be about my favorite looks and styles. I have finally decided to share my personal style stories with you. Dont fret, it wont be a long write  just something quick and easy about my everyday style.

Today's look is pretty easy and simple: A Fashionistagh branded T-shirt with my fav jeans trousers and fav flat shoe lol not forgetting my green turban by a Sa4a. I don't drive yet therefore can't afford to wear heels to work all the time, the whole stress of having to wear flats from home and change over later just doesn't sink in well with me. Doesn't mean i don't wear heels though. I just wait for the right timing to wear them. 

 About the Turban: Thanks to my friend Bunmi who got me this beautiful piece from Designer Sa4a. I find this really creative and i am loving it totally! This outfit has got me feeling all sorts of green!

Style Spotlight: Mafikizolo

Trust South African African Artists when it comes to style! They clearly define where they come from and how they were brought up not only through their music only,but their choice of costumes. Whatever they choose to wear either on stage or on the Red carpet reflects some portion of their culture.  I have been keeping tabs on one particular music duo “Mafikizolo”. Apart from all their sensational tunes, there’s something about them, which attracts my attention every time. Take a wild guess? Yes, their STYLE!.

Their name may mean 'new kids on the block, who just arrived yesterday' in Zulu, but Mafikizolo is no newcomer.

This vibrant, stylish group that created a delicious dance brew by mixing old and new South African sounds, have released seven hit filled Afro Pop albums, sold over a million copies, picked up countless awards, and is undoubtedly one of the most successful groups in South Africa.
