Fashion vs trapped inside

Day 7



This shoot was very unexpected...

I literally stepped into The Delight (Gondwana collection), Swakopmund and I immediately knew what dress just blended, literally, into The Delight's reception. I promise. It was as if I had the exact fabric of the couches...I couldn't resist...sooooo, this shoot is different, because it's indoors :)

Jewellery sponsored by NamCrafts
Location: The Delight (Gondwana collection) Swakopmund




Quick tip
This outfit will suit an hourglass, inverted-triangle and a pear shaped perfectly. All body types will be able to wear a dress like this, although an apple shaped figure will have to shift the waistline to the smallest part of their waist area in order for attention to be shifted away from the bigger part of the waist.

My experience
The Delight is beautiful. I loved the interior and how modern it was compared to the other lodges. 
I liked it here. The colours...everything. I think it was just very different, not a lodge setting, more a beautiful bed and breakfast. Swakop is generally a relaxing place, so The Delight made it a happy, relaxed venue.

Day 6



This was the longest drive ever...
I'm in Swakopmund at the moment.
Don't know how I managed to do this shoot, but it happened.

The reason I chose this dress was that it was perfect, knowing that I'll be climbing some dunes. 
It was light and did not absorb any heat, so it was great for this setting

Quick tip
This dress suits all body types. Everything you think you can possibly hide, can be hidden with this dress.
It's comfortable and flattering. You can wear it anywhere and just accessorize it to suit the occasion.

My experience
This shoot was so chilled. The sun wasn't blazing, so there wasn't any setbacks. 
The surroundings were peaceful and relaxing.
Everyone who comes to the coast, leaves rejuvenated and that was just what it was.

Day 5


New day:)
This morning, I went for a boat drive at sunrise...don't recall ever just relaxing the way I did when I stepped into the boat.
Sooo, my outfit was a bit different..as I was thinking of ways to make normal comic t-shirts more jazzed up. I added a long skirt to make it a bit more fashionable.
This trip was wayyy too fun to be in a body-hugging dress, so Spider-man came along :)

Jewellery by NamCrafts
Location: well, I was on a boat on the Kavango River.. and Hakusembe River Lodge (Gondwana collection)




Quick tip
This outfit can honestly be worn by all  different figures. My skirt sits on my waist, but when you have an apple figure, you can shift it above the waist, to the slimmest part of your abdomen. 
This is a fun outfit. Plus, you're never too old for comics :)

My experience
To describe this shoot..jeez, I couldn't have had more fun, really.
The boat ride was amazing. The scenery. The sound of the water :)
This was an amazing experience. One I would do over and over again.
The people were friendly, the service was exceptional.
I really had a great time here.
Was honored to have met the Governor of the Kavango East too, on my way out of town, Amb. Dr. Samuel K. Mbambo, who spoke to me about how Namibia isn't recognize internationally as it should be and how our own people aren't aware of how beautiful our country really is.

Day 4



This place though..
When I arrived in Rundu, at Hakusembe River Lodge, I knew the dress that will be perfect for this venue and the sunset.
Sooo, I had 45 minutes to get ready for this shoot before sunset. I didnt want to let this opportunity pass without me taking these pictures here, an hour and 45 minutes before sunset, so this was the crazy shoot.
Have a few good pictures before the disappeared on me :)

The reason I chose this dress here is...hmm, you'll see :)

Quick tip
This dress will be perfect for an hourglass- and inverted triangle shaped figure, as it hugs the hips, it calls the attention, therefore those whose aim is to hide their hips, will be making it very visible wearing this mermaid dress.

My experience
If I had a choice, I wouldn't have come back. This was an amazing experience, although it's pretty humid in Rundu, as the lodge is at the Kavango River. 
This place is amazing. I cannot stop thinking about this place and how the lodge is situated along the river.
This is a peaceful place and I highly recommend a trip to Rundu.
You'll be amazed at the beauty of this place ;)

Day 3


I'm still in Etosha Safari Lodge, had to overnight to get some pictures before sunset, so the dress I am wearing here is made from fabric that was sponsored by Penduka. The hand-embroidered detail, made the dress very unique and found it fitting to use it here, to add to the beautiful scenery, if that's even possible :)

I decided to use it at this venue because it was soo green, had to break it somehow :D 
I loved taking pictures here, in this dress.

Quick tip
This dress is perfect on an hourglass, inverted-triangle and pear-shaped figure. The ultimate way to cover big hips is by wearing something like this, whether it's a skirt, this is the perfect way hips wont be seen. There's a lot of detail in the top, so attention won't even stray anywhere else.

My experience
I loved this shoot, because the weather was perfect. The surroundings beautiful and I didn't want to get out of the dress :D 
The surreal surroundings made the shoot amazing.
Went to take some pictures at Etosha Safari Camp as well, different environment- amazing experience :)

Day 2 - Dinner




This was a long drive..
At Etosha Safari Lodge now.
The drive through the park was exhausting, so was looking forward to a nice dinner at the lodge.

Soooo, dressed for dinner :)

 Quick tip

This pencil dress will suit an hourglass-, inverted-triangle and a pear-shaped figure. Flaws won't be seen due to all the fringes, which is at the hem of the dress and the whole sleeve, so hips won't be noticed, due to distractions :)

My experience

It's a beautiful place. Very peaceful and relaxing. 
No place to be complaining :) Beautiful surroundings.
Tranquility mode activated..
