Hi everyone!

Happy new month of June! Well in South Africa it’s supposed to be Winter but for some odd worldly reason it just seems like Winter is nowhere to be found *raised eyebrow*. But that’s no problem for us fashion lovers cause we know how to roll with it. So lately I have been completely obssesing over something I find to be so edgy and retro and very I-don’t-give-a-f*** to conform.

Ear chains! Or Ear cuffs…  I’m really into them because there is something so hard core about them but… they’re such a small accessory(a small accessory that packs a punch). They’re so stylish and also very much tough-girly. They kind of remind me of a medieval princess in her organza and satin lined room with gigantic burnt orange satin pillows…*this is my imagination taking over-Don’t mind it*

So I wanted put up some pictures because I really love them and I will be making tracks to buying my own and styling in pretty soon. I know that it is*supposedly* Winter here and ear chains are more of a Summer accessory but WHO CARES! So feast your eyes…mwaa ha ha ha

YFY Turns 1 (point oh)

blog, fashion, happiness, love, peace, thank you

Hi Everyone!

I know I have not posted or a while, and I hate myself for it, but I’m soaked with stress. This post is over due in the sense that in APRIL YOUNG FASHION YOUTH TURNED 1!!! Whoop whoop. 

Well, I was super excited at the time, and I still am, but doing the post for it was not exactly doable. I am so grateful to all the readers ((I see you)) who read and have a glance every now and then. I’m super proud of YFY and it’s always so heart warming to see how you beautiful fashionistas enjoy it too.

One thing that I really wanted to do is incorporate more of my personal pictures, as in the previous post *sticks tongue out*, for you to see the brains behind the weird madness that is YFY so we can all get to know each other more.

Thank you so much to everyone. Much love…2up…rock on…peace love and happiness..ok, I’ll stop now!

Love Pamela J…♥

Beyonce’s “Countdown” Video is Fashion Forward

So there has been a big ruckus about Beyonce’s Countdown video and I thought that it was about time I watched it. And so I did…and boy was I pleasantly surprised. Surprised first by the moves she was doing with a pregnancy…*daaang*(work-a-holic) and secondly, surprised that the fashion in the video is something I have been wanting to try out for a while now 🙂

I reeeeally loved the bright colours they used like bright orange nails, the lime liquid eyeliner, the blue;red;green and yellow swimsuites, the black and whit round hat, the even brighter background (anyone who knows me knows I love colour)….I was in heaven. I absolutely adored the 90’s inspired outfits she chose, my fav being the baggy baby pink shirt, black bra and grey headscarf.

Another one of my favourites is the slouchy grey T and navy pleated skirt paired with the black stockings and white socks…Sooo lovely, it kinda reminded me of 21 jump street…I don’t know why…but hey.

Oh and how could I forget the nautical inspired one, the striped tank top and headscarf, short shorts and suspenders, this outfit was cute and fun, much like the video itself. another trend I noticed, introduced by Kourtney Kardash, is the sleek up do with a headscarf (or not). I think this hairstlye is classy and elegant and will definitely try out very soon. Here’s the fabulous video. Enjoy

Love, Pamela J

Florence Welch performs at Chanel show

I was so excited when I heard that Florence Welch, of Florence and the machine, performed at Karl Lagerfeld’s Chanel SS12 show!!! I love Flo because she is the ultimate performer and I adore Chanel, so when the two come together it’s like magic. This is the best coming together of music and fashion…and the sad part was I was no where near the venue….sigh.

Karl seemed inspired by the under sea coral reefs as the colours were coral and pastel and, as we all know, the venue was exquisite to say the least. the venue looked like an under water reef. Another interesting element was his use of flats, which I could wear anytime. He still kept to the classic Chanel look which will never go out of style. Over all Chanel never seems to disappoint

Voila Magazine: Noni Gasa

fashion, lisof, noni gasa, photography, style, style icon, tv personality, voila magazine

To me this magazine is a South Aftican version of Vogue. Yes, I know that this is a huge statement to make but it is certainly my opinion but obviously what makes Voila different is that it has a distinctive South African touch, voila. Voila magazine is rather new to the market and the readership is probably quite small but with Zolani of internationaly acclaimed South African band Freshly Ground has graced previous covers then you kind of have to get my drift.

I remember buying my first pair of white pants that I wore excessively by Noni (Legit line) **my mom and I referred to them the “Noni pants”**, and that was the first time I had been introduced to Ms Gasa and her exceptional style.

I was so extremely excited to discover, though a month late *better late than never*, that the lovely and talented TV personality, fashion writer, stylist, style icon and lecturer at Lisof was the cover of the “INSTANT STYLE FIX” July issue *music to my ears*. I have to give props to Voila for stepping in the right direction with that decision.

Noni Gasa has the kind of style that you wish you could copy, but that would be a waste as her style is always reinvented, the most exciting for me was when she cut her hair…please Lord grant me the courage to do that one day…one day. I appreciate her sophisticated take on fashion. Let me not ramble for too long and let the images speak.

There is only one way to wear fashion…and that’s BOLDLY – Pamela J…♥

Harpers Bazaar : Fall Accessories

Accessories complete every outfit, I’m very sure everyone knows that by now, and I decided to do an accessories reel for a change. Now, I’m a huge lover of rings, no matter how it is that they look, whatever shape size or material used to make it, I adore! This has never really appealed to my mom, who genuinely believes that one ring is more than enough *what with the bag or necklace or bracelet*…But come on, you can never…ever have too much in fashion, right?! So I looked at a few sites and loved Harpers Bazaar’s collection of Fall 2011 accessories……So here it is. Enjoy

Vogue: Emma Watson

It is certainly no surprise that I happen to be doing a post about a lady who happens to be quite big right now. But the only reason that I would do a post about her is beacause of her fashion sense…..(apart from the fact that I am a fan)

I happen to be rather HUGE  Vogue fan and when I discovered that the lovely Emma Wtson would cover it… I became an even bigger fan of both the mag and Ms Emma *stoked*.

Emma watson is certainly making a mark in the word of fashion and everyone is taking notice. I think thay she has kind of reinventyed the “Good Girl” look (after vanessa hudgens kind of destroyed it).

Not only is she gorgeous and wears her outfits in that way but also extremely talented. Vogue did a pretty darn good job of picking her.

Muse of the Month…

MY MUSE: RUMI NEELY

 

Now, all my friends know that I go bonkers over fashion. I would like to consider myself a fashionista, if I dont then who will? I’m always on the internet looking at what’s new and trending *though I could care less to follow them*.

I’m always looking at new blogs on Blog Lovin’ and what style is being portrayed internationally. But everyday my (perfectly coloured nails) fingers keep typing in to a blog I’ve grown addict to. Fashion Toast…I’m sure you have noticed that it’s on my blogroll. Yes, I absolutely love it to bits… *an obsession I tell you!*

Rumi Neely superbly pulls an outfit together with what seems to be very little effort. An outfit is never complete without her black /lace thigh highs and her killer Jeffrey Cambpell’s heels.

The one thing that stands out for me is that her colour pallet is rather minimal, usually bloggers, rather fashion bloggers, will go all exccessive in colour, sometimes it turns out to be raather me to try to be different

What appeals to me is the quirk in every outfit *I love me some quirk*, almost like a non-conformist.

Check out fashiontoast.com to see the method in my madness…uhm…obsession?

Style is what we live for by Pamela June featuring stiletto high heels

 

 

It’s the 1st of June and I thought I would celebrate it with a Polyvore post. I certainly had fun coming up with this set. I’m actually very excited about this month, for some odd and ambiguous reason. Maybe it might have something to do with the fact that this Ol’ gal is heading home for vac very soon. I do utterly love Cape Town but home is where the heart is. The thought that I will be reunited with my long lost… (okay I have a tendancy to go into my own novel-like world sometimes). I’m thrilled to see my family and best friends when I get back to KZN.

I cant wait to see my other sarcastic half, BFF Cas, and my lovely and inspirational mom. The though of having tea and coffe with her on the patio fills me with a warm buttery feeling inside, is this normal? Going to the beach in Cape Town in winter is not even an after thought, you will freeze your ass off just by staring at the water, but back at home it’s sort of a tradition because the water is so warm and the winter is not as nearly as cold.

I do hope you ladies enjoy the beginning of your June month, and Happy Birthday to Micayla and everyone who celebrates their Birthday this month. Enjoy my lovlies.
