Style Guide Cape Town
We honestly respect Robin Cooke of Style Guide Cape Town. This is a woman who is not afraid to speak her mind. And when it comes to fashion, boy is she serious. However, her posts are never without added humour and we doubt you will ever read her blog without having a good chuckle.
Robin blogs about celebs and she mostly isn’t singing their praises. She recently had this to say about the way Kim Kardashian has been dressing now that she is pregnant: “I just don’t know what to do about this. I decided a couple of months ago to simply abdicate from the whole discussion of Kim Kardashian’s style. I just can’t. It stresses me out too much, you know? And steadily the maternity dressing began. And it was a HORROR SHOW. And so I felt justified in just staying out of things. But then yesterday happened. Three looks in one day. Each progressively worse than the next, and I could stay quiet no more…Seriously. Has this woman not got a mirror. Leather on curves on a normal day is a disaster. We discussed this yesterday. But on a pregnant woman, who has ample proportions anyway, it is really just silly. It beggars belief.”
Style Diary
Carla Fourie describes her beautiful blog, Style Diary, as follows: “Style Diary is a South African fashion blog where you’ll find posts about all things fashion and beauty-related, including fashion trends, fashion finds and outfit combinations that I love. Occasionally I post some of my favourite outfits and you’ll see that I like to mix current fashion trends with items that I already have in my wardrobe.”
Carla’s personal take on fashion is evident throughout her posts. She shows readers how to wear items, shares inspirational pictures from high fashion and also conveys her knowledge of beauty products.
