[STYLE]: Hello Joburg Spring Style

Outfit Post & Magazine Feature

September is one of my favourite months because it means that spring has sprung here in South Africa. You can swop your coats for lighter jackets and boots for open shoes. 

I was featured in the September issue of Hello Joburg (you can download the digital version here) along with Irina from I'll Take It All and Ali from Seams and Silhouettes to showcase our spring styles and what Joburg fashion means to us. You can read my thoughts on fashion in Africa and Joburg in the magazine piece down below. 

As a huge fan of hats and fringe, these were the two main elements in my outfit choice. 

Kimono: River Island
Top: Factorie
Jeggings: Factorie
Hat: River Island
Heels: Mr Price
Bag: River Island
Sunglasses: Ray-Ban
Watch: Fossil
Necklace: Contempo

[DIY]: Gift Bags

Reusing Magazines To Make Gift Bags

 

 

Love to collect magazines like me but sometimes the pile just gets too big? Always attending parties? I have a solution for you - the DIY gift bags!

 

I made two different bags and I've photographed each step, it's super easy!

 

 

What you need:

- A magazine

- scissors (I used cute craft scissors)

- sticky tape or washi tape

-string (if you want to make a bag with handles)

- punch (if you want to make a bag with handles)

 

 

You'll need two pages per bag, so I tried to tear out pages with similar colours to sort of keep a theme going.

 

FIRST BAG:

 

 

After you've torn out your pages, cut the edges neatly and cut the one page smaller than the other.

 

 

Tape 3 of the sides, leave one side open for the handles.

 

 

Punch holes in the side you left open and tie it with string to make handles.

 

 

You're first bag is now done!

 

SECOND BAG:

 

 

The same as with the first bag, neatly cut off the edges and cut one page smaller than the other.

 

 

This time I used pretty washi tape to tape my edges.

 

 

You can seal your package once you're ready to give it to someone with a sweet sticker.

 

 

Ta-da! Super easy way to re-use magazines and help save you money!
