Omne trium perfectum

Hello everyone, hope your all good. This week I had a chilled day with a friend. When I started the blog I had something in mind about the type of content that I wanted. Things got out of the way, but then I realized when I started to put perfection and insecurity aside, I actually started to enjoy blogging. The power of three positivity, authenticity and simplicity is the three main things that are keeping my fashion sense and really my life together. So this week on post I give you a simple yet fabulous look that describes my vibe and street wear (personally love the tribal jumpsuit I wore underneath the denim dungaree) paired with my black wedged sneakers. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did :) much love...

Child of the fire sign

Hello everyone, how have you all been? I hope everybody is okay. The weather in the southern hemisphere has just gone up to a climax; it’s just so hot that everybody is changing their lives and well it is to be expected. Even wearing black has drawn to occasions.  And to that point my hair and everything else has to change (I swear my hair should be put as a trend to watch) it reflects every possible mood, in fashion and the environment… that’s funny. What better way to celebrate the summer kiss with a couture,  exclusively made cocktail dress by Mphuti Mpho, an upcoming South African designer/friend who is a most certain to watch, his love for African inspired fashion is the most alluring not to mention his quality and ability. I kept gasping at the sight of the dress to wear it was an honor. The child of the fire sign, a reflective motto to my personal growth in this phase. This is fashion that is kissed by the sun, African inspired and gorgeous.

Focus on Galxboy

It is as refreshing as it can get when we see Street wear designer Thatiso “vuittots” Dube standing and making waves in the South African fashion industry specifically in street wear. GALXBOY pronounced “Galaxy boy or Gal ex boy” is a street wear fashion brand that was launched in 2008 a reformed concept from his other works “Cheese boy” which was a T-shirt brand he did, then to “CheeseGalxboy” and now got everybody`s attention to Galxboy proving that evolution, hard work and perseverance is the key to establish a fashion business that pays off.

The brand is embodied with a catchy tag line “what girls do because of boys and what boys do because of girls” sound s very fun and cheeky but I personally admire what was or is the design aesthetics that he puts in each garment made, and branding, his quirky animations and surprising details that one would not think in a locally based street wear brand.

The brighter side of life...

I have finally decided, while being very emotional walking the streets contemplating whether I still want to do this or just leave it. You know when you have a vision in mind and when it doesn't manifest you seem to lose patience, blogging in mind...where patience is probably the thing that is most needed. I did it any way for the fact that I’m seriously enjoying it. Why not have fun? Why not be on the lighter side of life and do things that you enjoy, without the perfection in mind. Let’s play and get the chance to express ourselves in fashion and everything that is art. Besides while you’re at it you`ll learn along the way

Grand Gathering... focus on the gathered skirt.

My obsession with gathered skirts has reached an eminent climax, to the point that I decided to make one myself...or better yet haunt one in every shop I can possibly find. This one I made and I’m very happy with. The introduction of skirts skimming the waistline started during the 19^th century below the bust (the Empire silhouette) and gradually sank to the lower waist. Skirts started fairly narrow and increased dramatically to the Hoop skirt and Crinoline -supported styles of the 1860`s; then fullness was added in the waist.

In the beginning of 1915 the hemline went up up and away for women’s day wear for good, which was very good by the way. For the next fifty years fashionable skirts became short (1920`s), then long (1930`s), then shorter (the War Years) with their restrictions on fabric), then long (the "New Look ")then shortest of all from 1967 to 1970, when skirts became as short as possible while avoiding exposure of underwear, which was considered taboo.

I had so much fun making this shoot; I’d like to know how you feel about my new skirt, pretty, not? Or you’re obsessions about short skirts and their different sorts 

What colors are shaping your spring 2015....yes already!

There’s something wonderful about the approaching spring summer , the dance between the two seasons and how everybody just hated winter (some of us actually preferred the cold moody weather) but hey by societies demands and who wants to wear trench coats and boots all year long anyway. The hot blazing sun, that cool breeze that brings us close or a near fraction of heaven, the beach, ice cream; I had to add that and of course summer festive season holidays. No no it`s a different thing here in the fashion world, fashion week, street wear bloggers, super models, globe hoping fashions shows the world is buzzing with anticipation and a fashion frenzy.Funny enough Pantone released the color of spring 2015 based on the current spring summer Ready to Wear fashion weeks (New York already done) and here`s the funny part if you wondering where is it, the theme and color “En Plein Air” a laid back, ethereal nature drawn inspiration. I can understand, lately technology and our obsession to keep in trend with everything has dominated and in some way we needed to be geared into the direction of pure stillness and being, we need to be clear and 2015 is the year to be one with yourself and your wardrobe of course.what color is shaping your spring outfits, do you like the range of predicted colors,liked the article? i would love to here from you

Street Walker: defying the laws of blogging

Fashion student by day, street walker by night

I promise better image quality and the reason to visit my blog J

With the out most vengeance, I click on my word document and type like a beast. Not that I’m happy or something but really because of the opposite I’m outraged. This blogging thing is giving me nightmares, even during the day... I wonder what’s that called a bad day dream? Blogging is supposed to be fun, isn't it? Then again I guess not, bloggers have been hailed the gateway to the fashion industry and since the start of the millennium an influx of bloggers have been seen and really making a success of it. The importance of it even been recognized by designers, haunting them so they can have a mutual relationship, promote me and well promote yourself too, and the consumer takes note who is wearing what and whether I should go to the shop and buy it.

And for me like everything else in this world, now bloggers are enjoying the lime light and forgetting why they are blogging in the first place, okay who am I to say, I’m a beginner and the world is looking at me with smeary eyes but that’s the truth. I wanted Long Lost princess to be different, something real, something street, something unique that everybody can relate to, laugh if they can, say oh my gosh look at that! Or oh wow I love that (I’d love that one). Long Lost Princess is a fashion blog with a difference, still starting out and realizing I've got a lot to learn but fun and worth it anyway. 

walk it out with me
