Dress
I mean, black is my go-to when it comes to getting dressed, especially when I'm going out. Because let's face it, it's flattering. But a little white dress never hurt anyone, right? And the Bardot Gigi Dress is something different for a night out in summer, because why not, hey? All that's left is to get my tan on before slipping into this one.
Two piece
I really enjoy the whole two-piece ensemble trend, especially when you can mix it up – like with these items from The Fifth. So it's almost an all-black outfit, but the printed shorts give it that bubbly feel (sorry I just couldn't resist).
Jumpsuit
Ok so if I had legs that were as long as my entire body, then this jumpsuit would look banging on me! However seeing as I'm a whopping 160cm, it might not work out that way. But I do love the fact that it's an easy go to outfit - simply zip it up and head on out. Sorted.
Camera
I don't rely on mirrors so I always take Polaroids. That's what Cher Horowitz does anyways. As would I if I had this Instax Polaroid camera. (And if you don't know who Cher Horowitz is, you're too young for me, bro.) Jokes aside, this camera is a great way to capture all your fun times. I'm a sucker for Polaroids! I really, really want one of these bad boys.
Perfume
One of the most important parts of getting ready is spritzing up your outfit with a little scent. This floral fragrance, Daisy by Marc Jacobs, is the most affordable way to wear the designer, plus I really love the scent. It was on my Wishlist for so long, but even though my wonderful mother just bought it for me on her way back from New York – Thanks Mom! – I could probably do with a backup bottle just in case.
Speaker
If you think the party starts once you're in the
clurb, well I hate to break it to you, you're wrong af. The party starts when you're at home, drinking some wine, getting dressed, listening to some tunes, snap-chatting away (
@TalyaGalasko) and turning it up on this insanely good looking Marshall Speaker. Only I don't have one. Yet.
Earrings
I love accessories when it comes to styling, but not when it comes to styling myself. So for a night out, these subtle silver star studs (wow, that's a lotta 'S's) are simple and perfect.
Necklace
That being said, I do love Pichulik! Her designs are just so bold, but they're still simple. If I had to rock a statement piece, it would definitely be this Pichulik neckpiece.
Bag
We ladies all know the hassles of a bag. At least, I do. I hate taking a bag out! Why can't I just keep everything in my pockets? Well, because everything falls out of my pockets and I never see that R200 note again, that's why! So having a bag is a must when heading out. Especially when you're all glammed up. You've gotta keep all that lipstick, mascara, shimmer and whatnot on your person, y'know! So ya, I love this bag because it's really pretty. And Cambridge satchels are quality!
Keychain
What's more fun than a fluffy keychain? I'm sure lots of things, but I think this is a really fun way to find your house keys on your way home after the jol. Simply reach into your bag and feel around for a fluffy thing. Viola! There they are! Fashionable and functional!
Sunglasses
Being hungover isn't so bad if you have a pair of these Super sunnies, right? Ok, fine, being hungover is the absolute worst, but at least if I had these shades, nobody but me would know, right? Puffy eyes – sorted. Harsh sunlight – sorted. Splitting headache – where's that Bloody Mary?
