Look of the Day: Leather & (neon) Laces**

Gone are the days when trainers were only reserved for the gym and tarmacs. Trainers have made appearances at several fashion weeks and street-style blogs. With major sports brands like Nike and Reebok splashing colour all over their Free-Runs, Air Max and RealFlexi's, it is kind of difficult to resist. Today I am wearing my new pair of Reebok RealFlexi's with a pair of leather pants. I love this combination of neon colours and how this pair of Reeboks just pops against the rest of my outfit.

Same Dress. Different Girl.

I have featured Bonang Matheba on my blog before as one of my style icons, so you can only imagine how flattered I was when I realised that we have the same dress. I wore mine on the 'red carpet' at one of my residence formals in 2010.

In Joan Rivers (Fashion Police) speak this would be a "*Beep* stole my look!" moment, but I must say that it's not everyday that you unknowingly share the same taste as one of your style icons.

I'm calling it - this is one of the highlights of my fashion career!

Pink. October. Breast Cancer Awareness.

October, as we all know, is Breast Cancer awareness month. I believe in this cause, so I thought I should share 3 of my favourite PINK and most essential possessions. I think these three items are those that every woman and every lady ought to have.

1. I love the simple sophistication of a silver watch and yes, mine happens to have a pink face.

2. My pink studs. For me, simplicity is key when it comes to accessories, hence I only adorn my ears with studs.

3. Coco Chanel said, "A woman without a fragrance is a woman without a future." She was definitely onto something here. Every woman deserves a good fragrance that can define who she is. I love light, floral, fresh and joyful scents, which is why I wear Carolina Herrera Léau. Its floral, earthy, sandalwood and sensual notes really do wonders for my mood. I also love how the bottle is accessorised with charms: the gold CH charm, a pink CH handbag, a pink floral ribbon and a dragonfly with pink wings.

My heart goes out to every woman and family affected by breast cancer. Remember that time is the Band-Aid that heals all wounds, every woman owns a good pair of something; from shoes to earrings, so don't worry - your best pair is a fighter. 

Same Outfit. Different Girl.

The art of coincidence. I spotted this picture of Jena Dover in one of my ELLE magazines and it just so happens that I have similar items in my closet. Who wore the look best?
