Tracy Reese Spring Summer 2015
This season Tracy Reese dazzled the runway like never seen before. She definitely knows how to keep her designs fresh, it almost feels like she has reinvented herself with this collection. The silhouettes still carry the "Tracy" signature of femininity but this time with a subtle seduction, this collection has variety from elegant maxis to 1950s flair. The tropical prints, clashing prints, lace numbers and exquisite fabrics made for a winner. Here are our top picks

Art Deco's Influence on Jewellery
The great artists of the 15th and 16th century all trained in fine jewellery its no wonder the style continues to inspire jewellery designers today. Art Deco is a decorative art that has an elegant style and architecture reflective of Art Nouvea. The Art Deco Movement has influenced several areas of design including fashion for decades. The inclusion of art into fashion and jewellery provides the promotion of self expression.

“Be brave. Even if you’re not, pretend to be. No one can tell the difference. Don’t allow the phone to interrupt important moments. It’s there for your convenience, not the callers. Don’t be afraid to go out on a limb. That’s where the fruit is. Don’t burn bridges. You’ll be surprised how many times you have to cross the same river. Don’t forget, a person’s greatest

Tracy Reese Resort 2015
Easy wearing clothes that make a girl happy.Creative floral prints and butterflies on dainty silhouettes. Stripey prints mixed in with animal prints. Tracy Reese has maintained her mark in her collection but has ventured with her detail and textile prints. We love the embroidered lace trench coat, elbow length sleeves and subtly seductive maxi dresses.

Our Favourite Looks by Kenya's Diana Opoti - 100 Days Of African Fashion #BuyAfricanFashion
 |
| Made in Africa |
Undoubtedly an inspiring endeavour that Kenya's PR Guru Diana Opoti undertook to highlight Africa's very own designers and designs. From the high end designers now globally acclaimed and showcased at various fashion weeks to the local designers that have long planted their seed in the motherland now germinating globally thanks to the availability and good use of social media and networking. African fashion in not something new it has been around for as long as fashion became a statement. Africa surely has the talent and resources it needs to make for a booming fashion industry. There is however need for the availability of more ready-to-wear, more buyers at fashion weeks and a culture of embracing and taking pride in the local designers' creativity.
With a 100 looks to choose from we were spoilt for choice and couldn't possibly distinguish the number 1 look (the gold lace number teamed up with a gorgeous David Tlale skirt). Our picks are determined by our own personal taste and I challenge all fashion bloggers to make their own selection of the best of 100. Our selection is a mix of minimum effort (Made in Africa) and maximum style (David Tlale).The Chichia London coat is so versatile and could easily transition between Summer and Winter.We couldn't resist the vibrant prints (Bestow Elan, Millie Kidosho, Afromania by Nkwo and Peggy Onyango ), The Wambuyi Mukenyi red dress jazzed up with Adele Dejak "must have" accessories. A geometric print top by Millie Kidosho would look fabulous styled for a Vogue editorial. How about the Millie Collines clutch bag teamed with a Jane Sews Pearly shoulder blouse and Vivo Skirt, take away the Kenyan sunshine add a fur shrug and leather gloves and you've got yourself a sophisticated look that is reminiscent of 1940s Hollywood glamour. The Gloria Wavamunno silver mini pleated dress is bang on trend. Love the floaty blue maxi skirt by Mille Collines. Diana Opoti also nailed the resort trend in tribal chic by Kiko Romeo.
