Miss Kuku Day 3

Jezreel Designs Blog — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 22:36:18 +0000

Day 3 and it’s bitter COLD!
With the weather in mind, trousers are the order of the day.
Today’s outfit consists of: a lovely colbot blue top/jacket I was given as a birthday gift, black trousers, blue&gold earrings and blue ballerina pumps finished off with the lovely Miss Kuku!

Not sure what tomorrow holds in terms of the weather but Miss Kuku will surely be with me!

Until then, picture it, achieve it!

Miss Kuku Day 2

Jezreel Designs Blog — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 23:34:36 +0000

So, on to day 2 (well, 3 really but, you know..) of my bag of the week challenge.

Today’s office outfit is a green sheer top (I know, in the middle of winter, right?!), a kente print ankara skirt, burgundy leather jacket, tights and my trusted boots (well, it is winter after all!).
On the accessories front, I have on the earrings I wore yesterday and a wooden beaded necklace.

I know some people believe wearing too many prints together can clash but I think Miss Kuku’s holding her own!

Ok, so over to you, what do you think?

Bag of the week: Miss Kuku

Jezreel Designs Blog — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 18:39:41 +0000

So, it’s been a little while since there was any activity on the blog, I do apologise for that but we’ve been silent but not lazy!

In order to kick off the 2012 posts, I have decided to, in a way, answer a question that I get asked A LOT: “Your bags are all print, what kind of outfits can I wear them with?”
This question, I find to be totally valid. At times all people see is the print and some find it so overwhelming that they can’t see past it but, fear not, I have come to help! *Super hero voice*

Ok, so in order to show you how to rock your Jezreel Designs pieces in style and with confidence, I have taken to wearing a bag a week to work so you can see how easy it is.

Today I am ‘stylishly’ rocking Miss Kuku (actually started yesterday, but forgot to take a pic). I have teamed her with a green dress, leggins, some boots, green & gold earings, black blazer and a lovely gold beaded necklace (like this neck piece? Drop us a line info@jezreeldesigns.com and we’ll hook you up!).

Well, anyone that knows me knows I’m the least “stylish” person, but even I’m impressed with my little get up *why the laughter?*

Ok, so that’s today’s outfit, leave us a comment to let us know what you think or even how you would improve the look.
I’ll be back tomorrow with a new ouftit but until then, dream big and do great things!

Extremely excited, it’s my birthday this weekend! In as much as it’s going to be all about appreciating life- being grateful for the past, present and future; and spending time with family and friends I’d be lying if I’d say I’m not looking forward to one or the other gift. Ok, one particular gift! Abby’s been working hard on a new bag design. Can’t wait to get my hands on it! It’ll be available for sale from early next year.. All I’ll reveal for now is.. This one’s different.. Very different.. A statement piece named after yours truly!

mix ‘n match DONT mismatch

Jezreel Designs Blog — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 11:01:03 +0000

Hey guys,

Hope you’re all good and are enjoying the fabulous weather…lol
Well, that’s relative, if you are were I am – you’ll be sweating like no man’s business (and it aint even in africa…lol).

Anyway, just thought I should write about mixing and matching in this season. And that includes accessoiries, clothing, shoes and the like.
I remember about a decade ago I was the expert on matching items. Imagine this: green shoes, jeans, green belt, white top, green accessoiries and probably green eye shadow somewhere too…thinking I look hot (I probably did…hehe). Now I look at the pics and am embarrassed.

I’ve outgrown this idea of having to match everything I wear and I’ve noticed that a lot of people still apply this theory of matching items – but it’s less about the colours and more about the actual items we wear.

For example, a floral patterned multi colour top would look less attractive on a same floral patterened multi coloured bottom than it would on a nice plain pair of jeans with simple (one coloured) sandals.
Less is more also applies to style.
Wear what suits you and what you feel comfortable in but if you’re up for trying something new or different from what you are used to (if you happen to be the wild, adventurous type) try plain and simple. Or mix n match. Eg plain bottom, loud top or the other way round.

Forever 21 currently has a great collection of patterned tops and bottoms so check them out.

And whatever you do, remember
Less is more and don’t be scared to try out something new – bottomline, be you – feel you.

I’ll leave and let you (for now).

Gb,

Jezreel Designs Blog — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 09:28:10 +0000

My somewhat bland dinner outfit last week needed a tad bit of character and ‘Yinka pieces’ (clutch & bangle) from our Sophomore collection gave me just that.. Phew! And good to go I was..
