U gotta luv it

Fashion allows you to express yourself in so many ways. It visually shows the world who you are (today) and allows you to be somebody completely different (tomorrow). Fashion is non-invasive... you can try new colours, new styles, new trends without having to commit to anything, because if you're not loving what it looks like, you can simply take it off! It's not a tattoo!
Fashion allows us to play, to experiment, to try out new looks, trends, colours and era's. It's supposed to be fun, so start having fun with your look, if you aren't already.... especially with all these fabulous AFFORDABLE fashion items I have found for you below.

Ps. Don't forget to follow me on twitter while I'm on my fashion sourcing mission for you.... @afashionfriend

Day 2 of sourcing for my Cosmo fashion shoot

So having established that my colour theme for my Cosmo shoot will be all the pretty soft shades of pinks, vintage rose and vanilla whites, today was shoe sourcing day... My favourite part :)
It takes me the longest time as I drool over almost every pair I see and spend most of the day working out what I would need to cut back on this month in order to afford another pair of OMG heel heaven!
Normally my cutbacks relate to the kids... when it's a toss-up between those shoes and their school stationary for next year, DUH! They can write with twigs and rub out with press stick. Oh suck it up! It works just as good!
It was a very successful shoe searching day, I am thrilled at what I found (My feet are sulking big time though... major dose of shoe envy. It's the last time I take them sourcing with me, I swear!)

Here's a sneak preview of what I gorgeous heels I found.... I am after pretty nude and soft tan colours, the  shoe colour of the season. It's going to be a tough call to decide which shoes I will be shooting with.
Sigh so many shoes so little pages

It's sourcing week for my Cosmo shoot

this week you can follow me on twitter @afashionfriend as I source the stores for the sexiest, sweetest candy-coloured lingerie for my Cosmo shoot for the Feb issue. Yes we work 3 months in advance!!

I will be out there sourcing and posting the following fabulous fashion finds for my shoot: you can look forward to seeing  gorgeous lingerie, hot date dresses and beautiful romantic items in Summers prettiest  colour trends... sugar sweet pinks, vintage rose and pretty whipped creams.

This means you not only get to see what I will be choosing to shoot Cindy Nel in (before she even gets to see it) but it also means you can plan your Valentine's outfit months in advance (and start budgeting for it too!) It's time to indulge and pamper... see you tomorrow for the first of the fabulous finds.
