KarlaCloset: Casual Meets Couture (Once Again)




A lot of people asked me to post more about my style and also what I wear in shoots, 
and in this shoot I wore something out of my own closet (white top & beige tight skirt) and matched it up with the known designer in South Africa, 
Anel Botha's Couture pieces (violet skirt & neck piece).

ICON (Ready2Wear) recently collaborated with GHD South Africa for the Style Lounge event. 


It was a fabulous evening filled with loads of helpful hair styling tips and fun.

The GHD models were kitted out in Icon ready2wear as they walked the Runway to Reality.

MTV VMA's 2012 Fashion



The MTV Video Music Awards 2012 was all about the hairdo!
Of course, music's biggest stars flaunted their fashions, and I'll give you my  
fashion list of Best Dressed and Worst Dressed. 

But first, let's talk about the hair.
The recently coiffed Miley Cyrus took a page out of Pink's playbook and wore 
her platinum 'do in a pompadour.


What do you think? Sexy?
You be the judge.

And what about Nicki Minaj?


I know we're used to her "freak show" couture, but she looked more like Bozo 
with a little hat with her pink/blonde mop oozing from both sides.

Rihanna, on the other hand, knows to class it up.


Her new, shortly cropped, brunette hair was a perfect look with her long white gown.


Best Dressed
• Rihanna: The controversial singer wore a white, slinky backless dress that was one of the night's most stunning outfits.

• Katy Perry: I tried not like this sheer, floral printed dress from Elie Saab. But it's Katy Perry. She would really have to screw it up to make it on a "Worst Dressed" list.

• Miley Cyrus: Maybe the plunging neckline was too much, but the tight, black gown from Emilio Pucci was a perfect fit. The hair? That's another matter.

Worst Dressed
• Nicki Minaj: As I said earlier, the hairdo was distracting, but unlike Miley Cyrus, Nicki's black beaded jumpsuit with red corset just made the whole look a mess. I know, it's Nicki Minaj.

• Emma Watson: She is so darn cute, but her printed dress from British designer Peter Pilotto lacked focus.

• Taylor Swift: The young crossover star can pretty much do no wrong. Well, almost. I expected more than a white pantsuit.

This is my list of worst & best dressed at last night's MTV VMA's.

Mint Green Trend




The color of coolness, freshness and the sea breeze, the color of your 
favorite cocktail, the color of vigor and courage… It’s all about the color of mint. 

A softer shade of green and turquoise, mint green is a great hit for the up and 
coming season and we can’t get enough of this fresh shade! 

Minty fashion is everywhere, from clothing to accessories, from makeup to 
nail polish, and even walls in our homes are painted in this flirty color. 

Universally flattering for almost all skin tones and so fabulous in combination 
with white, black, peach, beige, navy and almost all the shades of rainbow… 
what’s not to love?
