If you ever need outfit inspiration or ideas on how to wear trends or add unique touches to a simple outfit then Taylor is the one to watch out for.

Taylor has become famous for her style and is the favourite among all the street style photographers for her bright red hair and petite frame.

Below are a few examples of her trendy style…

The skirt adds such a unique and trendy look to her outfit.

These tweed pants look amazing with blue accessories and a floral shirt

Glamour pants and criss cross heels go so well with a black top and sunnies

The jacket and skirt are both really unique items and look great paired together.

There are not many dont’s with this trend which means you can really express yourself and wear bold colours and prints with everything.

Do use stripes as a neutral and mix it with other prints. Add block colour and mix different prints of the same shade together.

Don’t pair to many different prints together, the maximum should be 2 and dont match the prints together for example wearing a skirt and top with the same print.

Below are some fashionistas that show you exactly how to wear this trend well.

I love the pop of red in between these prints

Detailed print bangles mixed with the printed pants is a simple way to wear the trend

Leopard print heels go so well with the print on her pants

This is a really good example of how to clash prints together especially with the block colour clutch and printed heels

Double leopard print clashed with floral always works well

I love that her shoes have the biggest print and that her shirt matches that print but she has broken up the entire look with colour

Her famous shoulder length hair, petite frame and amazing sense of style, makes her one of the most famous fashionistas sitting front row at every fashion week.

She pairs simple items like jeans, shirts and skirts with trendy items and then she adds a quirky touch making each outfit she wears completely original.

I love the way she always adds colour to her outfits and is not afraid to experiment with different trends and styles like a true fashionista.

Below are a few examples of her amazing style and the quirky items in her wardrobe….

1. A quirky floral dress mixed with a simple necklace and tan heels make a perfect summer look.

2. A quirky geometric print dress paired with tan heels, clutch and bright lipstick add a unique look to a simple outfit.

3. A quirky cape with a shift dress underneath and a statement necklace is the only way to rock a cape.

4. Over the knee boots paired with a dress, bright jacket, hat, quirky bag and a statement necklace add a stylish and funky touch for a winters day.

5. Wide leg jeans paired with a military coat, quirky bag and hooded jersey is the perfect mix of casual and trendy.

6. Cool denim on denim, while the hat and necklace add a quirky look for casual chic.

7. Simple tights and statement coat add a quirky touch paired with wooden platform heels, huge clutch and bright lipstick.

8. This entire look is quirky from the skirt, top, shoes and beanie. This look screams Miroslava Duma because she is the only one that can pull this look off without looking like a fashion disaster.

9. Here is another way to wear denim on denim for a casual winter look.

One of the trends I have noticed lately is the baseball cap, last season it was all over the runways and now in the bloggersphere. This trend is everywhere, I already have 2 caps that I am dying to try out with jeans, skirts and dresses.

I don’t usually believe in do’s and don’ts but for this trend there are 3 don’ts to make sure you can pull this look off and rock it in any outfit.

DON’T wear it with your hair in a pony tail, jeans, t-shirt and sweats.

DO pair it with your hair loose or slightly curled, short dresses, jackets, jeans, leggings and ALWAYS wear heels.

What’s nice about this look is that you can wear it in summer and winter and it gives a sporty finish to an otherwise elegant or trendy outfit.

This is not a look for everyone but I think these fashionistas below have matched these looks perfectly and so can you.

I love the simple black baseball cap mixed with patterned pieces and a knit.

The faux leather baseball cap adds a quirky touch to her elegant outfit.

This baseball cap is sporty when paired with the leopard print and army jacket, it ends the look off perfectly.

Mixing faux fur and leather leggings together is always a good look and when paired with a black baseball cap it makes it perfect for winter.

A colourful baseball cap is the perfect way to make an all black ensemble look very trendy and chic.

My style is a mixture of different looks that I like to call Rock Boho Trendista. I dress according to my mood but I like to incorporate some of these styles into my everyday outfits, so I decided to show you how to style an item in 4 different ways.

1. Simple and Classic

I kept the dress simple which is perfect for summer when it’s really hot. I added wedges, simple jewelry and a studded neck cuff to finish off the look.

2. Trendy

I layered the polka dot top underneath the dress, added the shoulder leather jacket and mixed it with lace up heels and aviators. This look is perfect for chilly summer evenings when you can layer but still show a bit of skin.

3. Boho Chic

Layering is really simple to do and the perfect way to keep warm in winter. I added a blue frilly top underneath the dress and a faux fur coat and over the knee boots. There is no reason not to look chic and sexy in winter!

4. Rock Chic

I am a huge fan of leather jackets, I live in them in winter so for this look I buttoned up the jacket so the dress became a skirt, added a huge scarf, patterned tights and heels. This look is perfect for winter when you still want to look chic but stay warm.

Name
Natasha Teplitsky

What is your Profession and what is it that you do?

Designer and owner of clothing brand called Tashkaya.

Which obstacles did you overcome on your journey, in order to find your true calling?

I’ve always had a passion for design which is why I worked for my mom at her factory – Teplov ballet shoes and studied at Haute Couture School of Fashion in Cape town. Before starting my label I had to discover myself through working odd jobs on yachts in the South of France. Having the opportunity to visit one of the fashion capitals ‘Paris’, I couldn’t help but be inspired by the people, the old beautiful buildings, the music played on the streets and all the top fashion houses. I knew then that I had to start Tashkaya.

What advice would you give to someone who pursues a similar profession as yourself?

You can never go wrong when you follow your heart; Fashion is a challenging industry but with hard work comes great rewards. Be positive and don’t let people get you down.

Where do you draw motivation from and what inspires you?

I draw inspiration from hard working successful women like my mom and all the small beauties that surrounds us every day that sometimes go unnoticed.

What is your favourite motivational quote?

Love what you do, do what you love..

Discounts, Discounts, Discounts

Take advantage of every price discount you can find for items you want. Reducing the price you pay with coupon codes or coupon slips is a very smart thing to do. From food to decorations to gifts and more, the money you don’t spend is money available for something else!

Be sure to check several sites for the best discount code or coupon for your target item. Some discounts are noted for specific items, while others are for any purchase at a particular storefront.

Discover if you can combine sale price discounts or not: Some merchants allow combinations up to a pre-set percentage or discount total. Some allow an either/or situation only where you chose which discount you’d prefer.

Compare Prices

You might think that the sweater you’ve been wanting is finally being offered at the lowest price around, but it might not be discounted as far in Store A as it is in Store B. Even using multiple tabs or browsers, sorting through price comparison on comparable items can still be confusing and very time-consuming.

Try price-matching websites for larger or major end items. They often give several prices for the same or similar items from different vendors, saving you time, effort and sanity.

If your preferred store is not listed among those displayed vendors, at least you will have that information ammunition for a price-match request: If you can get a lower price by a price-match arrangement by a local store, do so! The store manager might not agree, but she might: You’ll never know unless you ask!

Find out, however, if local stores have the authority to suspend store chain policy, though. What you might read on the corporate website may not agree with your local store’s policy. Discover each policy and consider negotiating for the better policy arrangement on your purchase.

Shipping v Local Pick-Up

Many merchants make the purchaser – you – pay to have the item delivered to your doorstep. Some, however, present the option to have the item shipped to you via your local outlet for free.

The cost of shipping should be added to your total purchase price, but so should the cost of fuel, mileage, car usage and your time to retrieve the item from the local store.

If you can afford the time more than you can a high shipping cost, opt for the less expensive delivery mode every time. You can combine other errands on your retrieval trip to save time and money.

And lastly, this reminds me of walking along the promenade eating scoops of different coloured ice-cream on a lovely summers day!

I’ve only posted a few of my favourite pieces that I would like to share with you. The rest will be uploaded to our Facebook page soon

I adore the shift dress as it’s easy to wear, classical and it can also be playful in certain prints as per the pic below.

The Crop top is a must-have! you can dress it up or down. A cool way to wear it is with linen shorts or leggings paired with a vest mini.

I’ve always loved the gypsy/bohemian look and because the 70’s era is such a big fashion influence this season, I couldn’t help but add my all time favourite; Peasant Blouse.

The Ruffle Dress is so feminine and pretty. I love to wear it in the day with flat leather sandals or my Teplov ballet pumps. For an evening out it looks great paired with Espadrille wedges or with black heals and a black ribbon tied under the bust.

Lastly, I love the Day dress as it’s easy to wear. You can wear it to the beach and into the evening with any accessories.
