Fashioned By Me x Mora Ammo

Last week Mohammed from Mora Ammo and myself collaborated. The brief was for me to style a few key items from his latest pret-a-porter collection. The items included a floral midi top, a black full length skirt and a silver dirndl skirt. My favourite look is the black and white pairing. It's very Carolina Herrera. Classic and elegant... 

I styled the pieces the way I would wear it which isn't necessarily how I'd style it for someone else. My look is very understated. I don't wear much accessories nowadays as I prefer a cleaner look. It's not often that I'm wearing print especially floral but I really loved this floral print - I'm considering investing in a few floral prints for this season. I feel like sometimes I channel Sara Donaldson from the blog Harper and Harley - her colour palette is black, white, grey and nude. I do think her style is great but she seriously needs to add some colour to her wardrobe. With that being said, I am going to introduce more colour to my every day wardrobe.

My hair was done by the talented Sawleha Hansa of @glamhairdontcare and the photography is by Mohammed himself!

All of the Mora Ammo items are available for purchase. Contact Mohammed on 0820788999 and follow him on Instagram @moraammo

Onyx By Aneesa Solomon Winter Collection Part: 2

Hi everyone. I trust you all are well. I did a post about my photoshoot for Onyx recently, if you haven't read it, please do so :)

I'm so excited to share some of the final images with you. This season was a little different from the previous shoot I did. The mood was more serious and the tone was a little darker, but still as beautiful. The entire collection is up on the website (www.aneesasolomon.com) and Facebook page  (Onyx) so please have a look at it. Also, for everyone in Durban, Onyx has collaborated with my good friend and relative Mora Ammo for a pop-up showcasing on Saturday the 6th of June 2015 from 2-5pm at 43 B Jan Hofmeyr Road, Westville. Please pop on over to view their latest collections (which are absolutely stunning)!

Mora Ammo - Summer Collection

Apart from blogging, I am also a part-time fashion stylist, I recently had the pleasure of working with Mohammed Amod of Mora Ammo on his Summer '15 range. I was asked to do the styling of the garments alongside Sawleha Hansa, who styled the hair for the shoot.

If you have seen his previous collections, you will note the understated elegance and glamour that is synonymous with the brand - this collection is no different! The new range boasts a variety of timeless pieces which exude glamour and sophistication so it was no surprise when the beautiful Tasnim Mia was chosen to represent the brand.

The shoot took place at the Mora Ammo store, capturing not only the beauty of his garments but also the famous gold Roberto Cavalli wallpaper that graces the main wall. I didn't want to take too much attention away from the detail of the garment thus keeping the accessories to a minimum. Less truly is more, especially when it comes to accessories. Plus, this season is all about simplicity and little to no accessories as we've seen on the likes of Kim Kardashian and our very own Aisha Baker of Baked the Blog. 

So without further ado, here's a few images of the latest collection...

 Some Behind-the-Scenes Images of the photo shoot...

The Mora Ammo New Store and Collection Launch

I recently attended the Mora Ammo launch owned by Mohammed Amod, who is not only a relative but also a close friend.  I’m so proud of him as this is the second anniversary of Mora Ammo. The launch featured his latest collection which is hand picked by Mohammed himself. It takes a lot to please women, and he has exceptional taste when it comes to selecting garments for a wide variety of customers. I myself have bought at least 5 evening dresses in the past two years from him and I can’t complain as I am the type of person who prefers to know what im getting. His dresses have a custom – made fit at an affordable price.

Guests were welcomed with cocktails, canapés and a death by chocolate fountain. The store is classy and fabulous, as every woman should be. It epitomizes glamour, especially with the statement Roberto Cavalli wallpaper. Live models showcased the collection, creating authentic visuals of the flow and fit of the garments. 

The dress code was Tres Chic so I chose to wear black because nothing says chic like a little black dress. I wore a River Island midi dress with orange and black Zara heels (because orange is the new black). My hair was done by another close friend of mine, Sawleha, we kept it simple with loose curls, perfect for Durban's humidity.

Apart from the fabulous frocks, We mingled, ate the morish treats and took a million selfies – all the ingredients for a successful launch and I walked away with my 6th dress which was an absolute hit!
