Neon Lace <3 | My Sister in Law’s wardrobe

Posted on August 6, 2013 by rratavosi

neonNEONneonNEON…!!!

So if you haven’t already guessed, today’s trend topic is NEON. Below is my lovely sister-in-law sporting this trend.

Vana wears this BOLD neon lime Lace top from Bardot. It has a super cute black tie up bow at the back and also a very nice timeless scalloped edge on both the hem and sleeves. Matte black A-line mini skirt from label Whitney Eve.

Accessories !

She has accessorised her look with a big Michael Kors Tote Bag.

She also wear a Silver Jewelled Necklace to tie in the look.

When accessorising with neon Lace it is important to remember not to overdo the entire outfit.

There is no need to bling it out excessively. Just one simple Necklace will do if the neckline allows it, as there is already a lot going on in not only the lace pattern but the colour too.

Now I know it’s usually a Summer trend, which is now frequently seen on icons and bloggers in the northern hemisphere. ( Wish we were enjoying it with you too boohoo!) but you can always bring it back during winter to add a nice pop of colour to your outfit.

Actress and Blogger Ashley Madekwe recently blogged a similar look.

Ashley wears a playsuit made from neon lace, faux leather and ruffles. I couldn’t have thought of a better combo in a playsuit myself !

I absolutely love when lace and leather are combined in pieces, it gives it character – it becomes more of a statement piece.

I have also created A StyleBook on Style Saint dedicated to Neon. Search me, “Rhaya Ratavosi” on stylesaint and it should be on my profile if you scroll down ❤

Commercial Finds ! A Not-So Boring Cardi !

Posted on June 11, 2013 by rratavosi

I am a Cardigan fan !

I am always wearing one, AND styling my garments with them too, because I guess you just never know when there will be the tiniest breeze. ha !

I think they are just one of those perfect daywear pieces every girl MUST-HAVE.

I wear mostly plain coloured Cardi’s, usually oversized, from Ladakh, cotton on or Zara basics. I find these three nail it the best !

Something plain for everyday wear is usually What I look for BUT when I ventured out to look for yet another Cardigan to add to my thousand Cardi’s I came across All sorts of Textures and designs…

Although, The Days Winner , was this very soft and warm Supre Cardigan.

Very Fresh with a nice geometric/slightly Aztec design.

Contrast black Sleeves

Black and “winter white”

This caught my eye because it wasn’t your usual autumn/winter Cardigan.

The combination of colours and it’s presentation give you the ease of pairing it with spring/summer brights such as your limes and oranges as well as the very common primary palette of Red and Blue.

And I guess that is what makes this one of those fantastic Tran –seasonal pieces that you would in fact be able to wear all year round no matter what the on-trend palette is.

With this particular Styling session I have only added one Pop Colour – Lime as it goes very well with the black and white knit print.

It is all very fresh ! So instead of showing you what it would look like with a winter palette I really wanted to show you a spring/summer Tran-seasonal alternative so you all can see how well it can be used later on a season later.

To add a core piece, something very basic We have our black denim. Any style, you choose whatever you are comfortable in. It can even be a pair of really great Ponte leggings you like to wear.

Now to Summer-fy this look I have also added black wedges that have a hessian-look wedge heel. This gives it a very Resort look and also even dresses up the garment.

Other little bits and pieces – A feather necklace and earring set to tie in the somewhat “geometric/Aztec” like vibe going on there or even just a set of plain silver chains bundled in a necklace.

Other colours that would be great to style with this are primary blue/royal blue or even white with a graphic print.

So if you’ve fallen in love with this cardigan you can head to your nearest Supre store Or simply click the link here and be directed to their online store.

xxxx Much Love,

Posted on August 18, 2012 by rratavosi

A few weeks back I bought myself a little present !

A Brilliant neon Lime Blazer – o h y e a h h !

EEEEEKKKK it was seriously so exciting ! THATS WHY I’ve decided to BLOG IT ( I’m totally not over it yet – it’s just so pretty ha ! )

After I bought it I couldn’t stop thinking about it, then when i finally arrived home, I wore it for a good 4 hours before deciding it’s time to TAKE IT OFF LOL

There’s a lot of bright/neon blazers out so if you want to “be in on it” too Just head to your nearest Mall/Shopping centre. Trust me they aren’t that hard to miss in the window !

HOWEVER ! – If you can’t find one, the one I’m wearing is from Target, It’s from the Hot options range AND if also comes in black with lime pocket openings for all the subtle babies !

Below is just a fun little collage I put together, it shows all the dominant colours for styling bright blazers !
