Outfit Of The Day and Stealing Bonang Matheba's Look

Happy Sunday everybody.
Today is kind of a stressful day as it marks three days till I write Quantitative Techniques, which will be my last exam, what's really stressing me out is just how much I know nothing about it. But let's not dwell on the negatives and focus on how beautiful Cape Town's weather is today, not minding the wind that is.
So I had to attend classes today, yes on a Sunday, and was actually clueless on what to wear which then I decided on a pair of leggings I had bought online from Mr. Price last year. Now for those who know me personally know that I have this major obsession with Bonang Matheba, I actually know all of the outfits she's donned to red carpet events and the outfits she wears everyday, you all probably asking how I know that whereas I do not even have an instagram, weeeeeeeell I kind of google "Bonang Matheba Instagram" on a daily basis and I follow her page on facebook. Anyway, so after I picked the leggings out of my closet I then realised that B* actually has an identical pair of leggings. After I spazzed out (getting too excited to an extent you have to take deep breaths to calm down), I then decided to kind of, I repeat myself, kind of, tried to copy her look.
So below is the queen of perfection

Then there's me, thing is I wasn't trying to get an identical, but a similar look. Do excuse the jacket that made a cameo appearance lol.
I wore:
Leather jacket: Mosko @ Traffic
T-shirt: Mosko @ Traffic
Leggings: Mr. Price
Converse: Sportscene
I then braided my weave as it was too windy outside and I seriously hate when my hair blows on my face.
I then lightly accessorised with crucifix earrings which I bought in Century City, literally forgot the store...Oops sorry. If anyone knows, let everyone else know please haha.
Even though I love my nails and painting my nails, I literally cannot paint my nails to save my life as you can actually see in the picture below. I used essence nail polish in red and black to create this look.
  So honeys I would actually love it if you all shared who your style icon is.
Oh and I forgot to add that I actually have a pair of cute shoes that I bought last year from Edgars, which I saw Bonang wearing in one of her B*Dazzled episodes, maybe I'll make a blog post about that some other time. Haha I adore her okay don't judge.
Well on that note, have blessed Sunday everybody... Till next time ♥

Exams, Lazy Headbands and My Ugly "Just Woke Up" Face

Today marks the first day of my final exams, in about a months time I'll be a 3rd year Marketing student. So I was supposed to post a blog post that I promised everyone, about a creative mind that I had a photoshoot with Saturday, but since I want it to be perfect I've been working on it and therefore I will only post it when I feel it's worth gold. Since I did not want to abandon you all, I decided why not update everyone on what is going on in my life, which is nothing, but exams. Today I started with a "Consumer Behaviour" exam, which was okay. wouldn't say "great" because only started studying the night before (not advised).
Today I was feeling lazy (nothing new there) so I just put on this red dress which I tucked into my high waisted shorts, and since I gained a few pounds I kind of like covering up my behind, which is why I put this shirt around my waist, and it actually didn't look bad at all. As for the grey headband, I was just too lazy to properly comb my hair. You can get the headband for only R50.00 at Woolworths.

 


So since I did not sleep last night studying for today's exam, I'm pretty exhausted. So I just wanted to update everyone that I'm still alive and wish everyone else goodluck for the finals.
I feel like I am cheating everyone with this post as it really is the laziest post I've actually put up and for that I am going to post an ugly pic I just took for your amusement, forgive the smudged eyeliner just woke up haha.

 
Well have your laughs :D
Till next time ♥

My day: Outfit, Nerves, Library Goodluck wishes and The presentation

This is a fairly long post if you're not into reading then my sincere apologies :). So to those who are friends with me on Facebook may have stumbled across a status I wrote last night about having to prepare for a presentation for today. Usually feeling nervous before a presentation is not my thing but this time around my stomach was in knots. So I woke up and decided not have any breakfast (Which was not a good decision) but instead just drink hot water with lemon slices as I usually do in the mornings (note: I am not doing this to lose weight as many people may think, but for my skin). Now a mistake I did was sleeping late and so I woke up drained and had to rush to campus so I just pulled out the first items that were peeping from my wardrobe, I went for these pants (don't know what colour they are LOL) this cute white shirt, a pair of black Chuck Taylors and I am not proud to say that I didn't put ANY effort on the hair *cringes*.

So on my way to the library to prepare (yes even more, I'm a perfectionist okay) I "kinda sorta maybe" bumped into someone, no not my boyfriend (cause I don't have one) and we started chatting, I have to say the conversation just came naturally which is rare in my case when someone makes me nervous, so he wished me goodluck, which I guess instead of calming me down it just gave me flutterbies (the cartoon way of saying butterflies, forgive me haha), but I won't be getting into detail about this guy as he may just stumble upon this post and think that I'm a creep, therefore topic sealed.

So going back to the topic of my outfit, I don't usually accessorise but today I donned a couple of rings, I think this has been my latest obsession actually. I just love how "girly gangster" it looks when you wear multiple rings at once, what do you guys think? YAY or NAY? The rings are in silver and I got them from Mr. Price for about R3O.OO and they came in a packet of about 8 or 10. Bless them.

So this was rather a long post and if you have read this far then I am thankful. So of course as you have read there was nothing interesting about my day but this was to share more about my day before the presentation. By the way this was a Marketing presentation, so after I shaked, shivered and sweated my lecturer said "Well done, you're about the only student who wasn't reading from your notes. Fairly interesting presentation" (Well this was before the exchange students presented). Kind of expected my lecturer to say "OMG Tabela you're so fabulous, guuuuuuurl, you did yo thang and you deserve 1OO%", or am I pushing it haha. Just to show how long the presentation was below is the file I kept all of the notes.
 

 So this was my day how was yours? Do share!
Till next time ♥
