Arum Lilea Guide: What to Wear to a BBQ

 Free 2BU shorts | Cotton On blouse | Sass Diva necklace & bracelet| Mr Price shoes

Here in South Africa we are enjoying the end of our summer and the long weekends we’ve been having call for summer traditions: a braai (a BBQ to all you non-South African ladies).  The thought just makes me all happy inside.  For these ultra casual fun days, picnics included, I love a pair of shorts in a bright colour,  a light blouse, a great statement necklace that isn’t going to get in the way of all the fun you’re having, and a pink lip.  I love these turquoise loafers of mine for an added pop of colour.

Black & Red

Levis shirt (similar) | Mr Price cardigan (similar) & skirt | Aldo shoes | Sass Diva necklace|

This outfit kind of reminds me of school.  I suppose it’s the preppy skirt and tied back hair.  I love incorporating great basics into my outfits.  There’s nothing better than a white shirt and a great skirt for a quick and easy, hassle free outfit.

Graduation Day

For those of you that follow me on twitter you will already know that last week was my graduation.  I received my LLB cum laude and it was a very emotional experience.  It was as though a chapter in my life had closed and a new one is about to begin.  I am so lucky to have the family and friends that I do, because without them, I wouldn’t have been able to do it.

Arum Lilea's Guide: How to Accessorise

I love to play with accessories.  Great statement necklaces are my favourite pieces.  Wearing one of these is such an easy way to take your outfit up a notch.  I’m crazy about anything rose gold so, naturally, my watch is this colour.  I usually wear it with chunky bracelets in the same colour or I mix it with gold or silver.  I also love this chevron pastel bangle.  Every girl needs a great cocktail ring.   My fingers are so tiny that I only have two that actually fit, but I love looking at everyone else’s sparkly ones.  Accessories aren’t limited to jewellery either – I have been known to sport a giant bow in my hair from time to time.  A bag can also add another dimension to a perfect outfit.  I like to either use one in a similar shade to a busy outfit or if I’m wearing a simple outfit, I might use a bright bag.

The key, I think, to accessorising is to have fun.  Play around.  Be bold one day and simplistic the next.  You really can’t go wrong.

My favourite time of day is that moment when the world turns gold.  I can’t help

 lectures or sitting outside with friends.  Treasure the small moments, right?
