A Right Royal Affair

Durban will once again come to life this weekend. The Vodacom July is this weekend and this year's theme is:  "A Right Royal Affair". I am not going to the Durban July this year but do have a few tips for those going there (for the first time).

Durban July Tips:

• Please honor the theme. Look the part.
• If you still do not have it yet, get a "short" dress. Trust me, you do not want to be walking on the grass with a long-ass dresses.
• Comfort is key. This applies for both shoes and dress.
• You will need sunglasses and sunscreen (Durban sun is not your friend).
• Do not wear too much make-up.
• Even if you are in the marques that will be providing free alcohol to its patrons, DO NOT get too drunk. You, your dress, heels and drunkenness is not a good look. 
• Have FUN but make sure you are still energetic by the time the after parties start!

Some of us have to off-ramp on the N1 LOL.!

Kimora Lee On DESTINY Magazine Cover

I don't think I can admire Kimora Lee more than I do now. She is on the cover of the July Issue of DESTINY Magazine. She talks about how she has gotten where she is in life and her new motto for this year (post Baby Phat). I love her soooo VERY much and I aspire to be the woman she is. 

That's It! The Kokonut Stylist Is Also Gonna Have a Boutique

Have you noticed how almost every good fashion blogger runs an equally good boutique? I mean, it only makes sense right? This morning, I got sooo inspired to do the same when I received an email that contained details of a fashion blogger by the name of Karla Deras.

She hails all the way from Southern Carlifonia, she wears what she wants and is not afraid to show it. Not only is she uber fashionable, she also runs an online Vintage Boutique. This chick has STYLE maan!

Sooo, would you buy from The Kokonut Stylist Boutique? Mmmmm, we got our thinking cap on. ITS ON FASHIONISTAS!!

Meet Samkelo Ndlovu

She is an actress, a musician, an aspiring director, she is beautiful and she loves fashion so.....that's more than reason enough for her to be featured on this blog.

I first saw her on Zone 14 (airs on SABC 1) and I thought 'damn, she pretty'! From then on, I started to take an interest on her, turns out she is a really talented person, yeah, she ain't just a pretty face.

I stopped watching Generations when I got DSTV (lol) but I hear she now acts there. Well, if you want to know what she gets up to, follow her on Twitter: @The_Samu_Rai and you can check out her pictures here.

Its always great to see new faces (especially if they are beautiful) on the South African entertainment industry. Watch out, Samkelo is the next BIG thing...BOOM!!

All Hail To Fabulousity!!!

The First Lady Of Style Lands In SA

Last night, The First Lady of The USA arrived here in South Africa. She was with daughters Maila and Sasha. Apparently, this is her first solo (without Barack Obama) visit to Africa.

I've always admired Michelle Obama's dress style, she always keeps it classy in a very understated way.


They (she and the kids) will be meeting with Nelson Mandela and Graca Machel as well as with President Jacob Zuma and then jet off to Botswana.


I hope they will enjoy their stay in Africa.
