STYLE: A Glimpse into My Style

Be Free With Your Style 

Hi beautiful friends!

Before I realised that I wanted to save the world and have green super powers, I thought I would grow up to be a fashion designer. When I was younger, I used to spend hours designing the perfect evening gowns that could be worn on the red carpet. As a Visual Studies graduate, being creative through my art work; photography; my words as well as my clothing choices has always been important to me. 

A few weeks ago Style GF, a mobi-magazine that focuses on fashion, beauty, bloggers, celebrities and is accessible through your phone, contacted me and asked if I wanted to share some of my style tips. While The Glam Green Girl has always been focused on beauty and lifestyle, I jumped at the opportunity to have some fun with my closet and share what makes fashion so fun for me. 

Here's my "Blog in Style" feature for Issue 17 - you can check it out here. 

To elaborate on what I'm was saying as my style tip, my style changes everyday. One day I'll rock the sporty look, the next day the bohemian look, the next day the glamorous look etc. To me that's what fashion is about, it's about playing dress up every day. 

To add my own twist to this beautiful dress (I've had it for a while, it's one of those that you can use for almost any occassion) I added a turban ~ those that know me or follow me on instagram know how much I love hats, beanies, turbans, flower crowns etc!

I shopped my own closet to create the different looks that I'll be featuring soon - green fashion tip: Instead of buying new clothes all the time, shop your friends closet or your parents, I love some of my mom's cool items and have even claimed one of my dad's jerseys!

In the next few weeks I'll be sharing some outfit posts as well as my style tips - I'm excited and I hope you are too! Let me know your thoughts, is this something you'd like to see on my blog?

Love always, The Glam Green Girl xXx

Joburg Bloggers Meetup

#JHBBloggerMeetup

Imagine a whole bunch of ladies seated together who have a passion for blogging! Yep that happened! On Saturday (9 November) about 25 ladies got together to celebrate their love of blogging and to finally all meet each other as many of us follow each others blogs. 

It was an amazing day organised by the lovely Johlet from Our Journey To Everywhere - high five to you Johlet! 

I think we were all overwhelmed when we walked to the table and saw how it was overflowing with goodie bags! I'll be honest, I though we were getting small goodie bags with a few products but it actually turned out that I was worried about how I was going to carry it all to my car!

Thank you to Vovo Telo in Parkurst for hosting us and for the delicious food

A big thank you to the awesome Brendan from Zoya for letting me fix my nails ;) 

And finally, a BIG thank you to all the sponsors for the amazing goodie bags! I cant wait to try out all of the products!

Head over to Johlet's blog to read more about the joburg blogger meetup - thanks again superstar!

Lots of love to all the bloggers that were at the Joburg Bloggers Meetup <3
