Time To Get Ship-Shaped in Nautical
There is a reason why nautical fashion makes it comeback year after year. The smell of summer is in the air which means that the sun is starting to shine. Nothing says sunshine and summer more than a nautical theme. Think beach, swimming parties and boats –what’s not to like?
Many designers set sail this year with nautical fashion themes down the catwalks. With crisp whites, sharp stripes, bold colour blocks of white and navy, classic shapes and whimsical details make up the look which has lucky enough sailed into ready-to-wear items. You will feel summer ready!
Remember to go light on the theme – too many nautical pieces paired together and you will start to look like a sailor.

Welcome To The Exotic World Of Maisha
Jul 18th
When you think of exotic what comes to mind? For me images of luxury, beauty, difference and an experience beyond anything plain and simple. For those of you out there who agree and have a love and passion for handbags and wouldn’t mind spoiling yourselves you are going to love this brand of handbags. The designs of these Maisha handbags conjure up a feeling of exoticness.
We at Maisha pride ourselves in sourcing only the finest quality skins from the most exotic destinations in the world. It’s in the skin. These fashion bags are made from exotic skins, ranging from Adriatic Snake to Python, from Lizard to Stingray — to name just a few.
Why Maisha? It means “life” in Swahili and was inspired by the common phrase, “we carry our lives in our bags”. It stands for embracing the unique exoticness in each of us, which we reveal in our style and life’s journey. Capturing this in the design, manufacture, interaction and delivery of our product is our mission.
It’s in the design. The Maisha design philosophy marries exotic innovation and timeless beauty. A classic clutch — in a splash of brilliant red. A useful shoulder tote — with breathtaking accents. A head-turning design — in an understated, creamy brown. A balance of classic, contemporary and quality.
It’s in the quality. Maisha uses only the highest quality skins and puts each bag through the kind of rigorous quality control process that comes with producing world-class handbags.
“Maisha was conceived after an incredible trip to Bali, Indonesia, where at a local retail store I was able to design my own handbag from local skins. My modesty in my creation was turned into outright amazement when on a trip later that year to San Francisco I was approached by people on the street who wanted to know either where they could purchase my handbag or whether I would sell it to them outright there and then. Truth be told I never looked for exotic, it found me and I merely embraced it.” says the designer and owner of Maisha, Sasha Saretta Muller.
“Maisha inspires to guide you in discovering and defining your own ‘Exotic’, to explore your uniqueness and carry it with you every day.”

By the time you have finished reading this article you will hopefully understand my obsession and need for a pair of these wellington boots. HUNTER has finally made its way to South Africa. These practical yet fashionable boots will never let you down. Here’s some more information about HUNTER.
Wellington boot > Chiefly British. A waterproof boot of rubber or sometimes leather reaching to below the knee and worn in wet or muddy conditions
The Hunter brand has become a symbol of British country life and celebrity fashion. Designed over 150 years ago, Hunter wellington boots were created to conquer Britain’s rugged and unpredictable weather.
Now firmly established as a fashion brand beloved by Hollywood celebrities, the classic Hunter boot range offers an ever-increasing collection of rubber and leather footwear to suit urban fashion and country living.
Known today as the ‘original’ Wellington, Hunter has stood for quality and comfort since Henry Lee Norris began his boot making company in 1856. Committed to fit, comfort, durability and performance Hunter wellington boots bear 2 rare and coveted stamps of approval of the royal family.
One Hunter wellington tall boot is made from 28 individual parts. Each part is individually tailored and assembled by hand to support specific parts of the foot, calf and ankle. Hunters continue to be made and finished by hand from natural rubber. It is this attention to detail and the dedicated craftsmanship that makes each and every Hunter boot so special.
As the brand has expanded, Hunter has added an extensive range of accessories to create a distinctive Hunter look. Customers can personalize their wellingtons with a warm and cozy Hunter fleece welly sock. Socks are sold separately and are available in an array of colors, fabrics and faux furs.
