Fashion Friday: The September Issue Launch

I was recently invited to the launch of The September Issue in Hyde Park. This story actually starts with me attending the unveiling of Mam' Bertha Gxowa's statue (with my good friend Uyanda), in honour of her role in the struggle for freedom. It's heart warming to see so many of our history's icons claiming their spot in our history books- but that is another post for another day. 

The point of that little tangent was my intention to go straight from one event to another. The only thing that stopped me was the tiny issue of the launch's dress code ('Spring' when I was in 'All Black Errything'). I managed to put together something I hope was decent, and arrived just in time for the speeches. This being a fashion write-up, allow me to show you what Jozi's finest are rocking this spring.

These ladies know a Spring dress code when they see one.

One of my favourite faces, Chianosky. She says she pulled this blue number out of her closet. Nje.

My favourite accessory of the night was this neckpiece from Sass Diva.

The 'photographer' who snatched my camera from my photographer insisted on this pose.
