- Topshop and Adidas have cleverly collaborated to create Topshop x Adidas Originals, a collection of 20 equally high-street, sporty and fabulous pieces. Currently on sale here.
- As always, my art research has resulted in me finding the most amazing artists/artworks. Billy Kidd had a photography exhibition called Transience, which is composed of photos of dying flowers and nude women. Check it out before simply dismissing it - it's been done so tastefully.
- My 5 year goal right now is to finish high school, move to and study in the England (preferably London). ID Magazine has an interview series of first year fashion students studying all over England, which fuels my imagination with what my life could possibly look like in a couple of years. (I literally die at the thought!) Read them here 1, 2, 3.
- Top 5 songs on my recently played playlist:
Dark Doo Wop - MS MR
2 On (feat. Schoolboy Q) - Tinashe
Pluto (Remember You) [feat. Beatenberg] - DJ Clock
Down (feat. OmArr & T. Coles) - Jaden Smith
- If you follow me on twitter, you might notice that I often post poetry or quotes from poems. Most of which I've recently found on Instagram. My favourite insta-poet has to be Olivia (@ohpoems). She's unbelievably good. Like, I have no words to describe her, she's just out of this world.
- My namesake and blogger friend, Khensani Mohlatlole, has written an article for ItsFashionating.com on my favourite member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, Kendall Jenner, who is blowing up in the modeling world right now. Read that here.
- What most people tend to forget, for all of Miley's antics, is that the girl can sing! I've been loving her cover of Summertime Sadness by Lana Del Rey and Hey Ya by Outkast recently.
- My favourite type of design is brand identity design, and there's nothing I love more than watching my data disintegrate as I browse through identity after identity after identity. The identity I'm currently obsessing over was designed by Anagrama Brand Intelligence Group, for a boutique called Novelty, which you can take a look at here.
I haven't done a Lovely Links post all year, which is a shame because they're my favourite kind of posts. Grade 11 has already battered and bruised me enough to last a life time, and so I don't really have much time for the internet and blogging and a life outside of school. What a bore, right?
I'm in Mpumalanga right now for a little getaway with the fam, during very nearly the only time I've had free this year (mid-term break). I feel like sometimes we all just need to sit back, separate ourselves from our work and lives for at least 24 hours just to reset and refocus. I think this break will do me some much needed good (that is, if I can get past the anxiety of all the things I still need to do once I get back...) Happy Saturday, and to those of you who watch Suits on DSTV, happy Suits Is Back day!
xo,
