How to Style your Twilly - The Hair Edition

How to Style your Twilly - The Hair Edition

So I will be totally honest in saying that if you asked me a year ago what a TWILLY was I would have replied ... "a what?"

Funny thing is - that I have seen the Twilly styled over and over again on Gossip Girl but never actually knew what is was called. To me it was just a "head scarf" or "neck tie".

Yellow Summer

Yellow Summer

Well in case you have not been counting – or paying attention to the calendar – we have 10 days until October (HOLY MOLY – that just dawned on me too …..)
Now October is technically still “spring” but we South Africans know that we don’t really have spring. It is winter – a few warm days and then it is HELLO SUMMER ….. or in the case of 2022 …..

YELLOW Summer.

Shop Your Summer 2022 Colour Trends

According to the Pantone Colour Institute, this year's fashion colour trends include diverse and distinctive colours that come together to create a palette blending comfort and familiarity with unexpected delight.

 
The trend is more toward self-expression and creativity, and less about following the "rules."  This leaves a lot of room for applying these colours to your own taste and style personality!

How To Wear Your Leg Warmers

How To Wear Your Leg Warmers

Now when we think leg warmers - we think 80s ..... lycra unitards, big hair and shoulder pads. So let me just place the following on record - unitards, big hair and shoulder pads must forever and always remain in the past. While Cher has had a good career for a few decades - even she left this look in the past.

BUT leg warmers....Now those you should have a few pairs to wear every winter.  

If you are still not sure let me show you how you too can enjoy these babies

Colour Focus // Mr Sandman bring me a dream

Colour Focus // Mr Sandman bring me a dream

This month I thought I would look at the colour SAND. 
Much like last month's blog on Grey, Sand is a lovely neutral colour that can be matched with everything. Grey can lean towards the colder colour tones while the Sand definitely has a slightly warmer feel to it.
