TOLAH CARES: Mamdladla and Son

On Wednesday I was lucky enough to meet the most beautifullest 10 year old boy I'd ever seen. So lively, so loving, so gorgeous and just wanting hugs and kisses. Accompanied by his mommy into the ward at a Johannesburg hospital , I met our hero, Mamdladla's son. I vote for him to be Try's future unclebae.

You trolls will remember her heartbreaking pleas for prayer after her son got so ill that he had to be admitted into hospital. Troll gogo organized a care group to push midnight prayers and put together a few items to help our baby's stay in the hospital a pleasant one.

As we all know, I GET ASKED TO DO EVERYTHING. & so it was that I got tasked by the TOLAH angels to make his day. In the end, I managed to get a few play station games, colouring in books, colouring in pencils and khokhis for him & a card I forgot to write in, I had to say the message to him verbally. Of course we are also about MBA's and doctorates here at home so I got a book for the mommy too just to keep the dumpness at bay. I also managed to act girly and shop around for some flowers too, couldn't get water to go with the flowers in fear that she might just start gulping it away #TolahStandardsSometimes, smh! Thanks very much to those who contributed. From the bottom of my sincerity, I am grateful you are part of this family. You make blogging at this stockvel worth all the trouble. I love your givingness  (someone has to make up these words)

I will let Mamdladla update you about the good progress when she gets a chance to pop in, I'm not hundreds about how much I'm allowed to share at this stage but fear not, the Lord showed off in this situation.

Now that we've got the good stuff out of the way, let's TOLAHPIC. I wanna post my #RelationshipGoals #ThisCouldBeYouButUjolaNoSkrufu #LoveIsThisPic #NinyileNgobaKujolaMina

Somebody lead and I will follow at 10am. #Habashwe #ThisArticleHasNoPics? #ThanksAishaEvenThoughYouDidntPostThis

NYFW Wrapup

New York Fashion Week, one of the biggest fashion showcases took place last week. With over 70 shows, the streets of midtown and downtown New York were abuzz as fashion mavens from all over the world ran from one to show to the other to catch the latest work of designers. The biggest trends were saturated colors, bright hues, a lot of tassled ruffles, fringe and thankfully flowy feminine gowns.

Most of the designers brought their A-game, with outstanding presentations and eye-catching pieces. As models sauntered the runway, every piece was under scrutiny, taking note of the intricate details and overall silhouette of the piece.

Here are my favorites:

Marchesa RTW Spring 2016 - this was absolute favorite. The theme was botanical dream, petals, plumage and tule. I am most certain that celebrities will don these gowns for next year's award season.



Details....


Michael Castello Spring RTW 2016 - luxurious and colourful frocks that show a lot of leg. Numerous IG boutiques are busy making knockoffs of these I'm sure because they are every baddies dream.

Castello
 
Jason Wu Spring RTW 2016 - I particularly loved the ruffled in textured waves fabric

Givenchy Spring RTW 2016 - Ricardo Tiscci made his NYFW debut, presenting lingerie referenced garments, laced with embellishments, striking ornaments with edginess. The models faces were decorated with intriguing jewellery.

 Diane von Fursternberg Spring/Summer 2016
 


DVF

Carolina Herrera Spring RTW 2016 - For the feminine and elegant lady


Carolina
     Reem Accra Spring RTW 2016 - Colourful oriental style and print match


Reem Accra

Least favorites....
DKNY Spring RTW 2016 - the new creative directors, Public School, made their new debut. It was lacklustre for a huge brand like DKNY I'm afraid to say. The minimalism was dull and boring.


DKNY
Jeremy Scott Spring RTW 2016 - although his work stood out because of the bold colors, prints and plastic materials he incorporated, his work is too pop and cartoonish for my liking, not very different from the Barbie themed presentation he made earlier this year for Moschino.

Jeremy Scott

Zimmerman Spring RTW 2016 - the mesh Victorian era inspired pieces with sandy colours were a dull combination
Zimmerman
Yeezy Season 2 - there is no doubt that Kanye West is a creative genius, but in the fashion designing world he is a novice. He is still experimenting with nudes, fabric cutouts, baggy hoodies and hippie wear. The presentation was artistic, very Kanye-sque with military style walk-ins. Although his designs were not received well by the general public, Kanye brushed the critics off..


Yeezy

There was diversity as well, plus size ladies worked the runway!!
Ashley Graham x Addington Elle

Project Runway


Also ending the NYFW with a bang was Betta Ditto for Marc Jacobs


What's a fashion show without outrageous outfits...
Thom Browne


The Blonds


Till next year February...
