NOVEMBER RAIN LIFESTYLE FASHION PONCHO

Today we are stepping away from all things make up, beauty and recipe related and making a splash in the world of fashion when it comes to the Wintery weather.

These ponchos come in a super cutesy pouch bag – how fabulous!

Although born into scorching hot weather of sunshine and beaches, I am secretly (and totally proud to be) a Winter baby!

Since living in the UK, we tend to find ourselves frolicking about in more raindrops than rays of sunshine, and if there’s one thing that I have learnt from the Brits’, it’s that the rain never stops you from doing what you’ve  gotta do!

If you’re anything like me and always forget to pack your umbrella into your bag, then my November Rain Lifestyle secret is totally for you!

This is a super stylish poncho raincoat that keeps you dry during those unexpected showers. My favourite part is that it fits all snuggly into its own pouchy bag that can be kept in the car, in  your handbag or even in your backpack. There’s no reason to not be a prepared Petra with this darling little raincoat at hand.

Super spacious for tons of movement!

These ponchos are so incredibly comfortable and warm and allow lots of room for movement with its sophisticated and practical design. They’re super easy to slip over your outfit or even your jacket. One thing that I am absolutely LOVING about this poncho is the fact that it allows PLENTY of room for my 5 month growing baby bump. This totally tickles my pickle, because we all know how often our wardrobes need replacing when we’re expecting.

This design is the Oriental Bird design – my favourite!

These ponchos come in different patterns and trendy colours too which give them that extra bit of sass, not to mention the flattering design that has a longer stretch at the back to cover your bottom. The hood is also detachable and super spacious, which doesn’t leave you with hair being tugged from behind – bonus! If you’re worried about squishing your head through the poncho, fear not! There’s a super “easy to use” full length heavy duty zipper for easy access, which totally makes life easier, doesn’t it?

What a spacious little hood we have here!

November Rain Ponchos are made from a superb quality Satin Polyester and have a waterproof backing to avoid all wetness and the possibility of looking like a drowned rat – which is never a good look to be sporting around.

Not only do these ponchos flaunt style and dryness of course, but they also fund their own Giving Back project, which means that 10% of all revenue is donated each quarter to various water related projects. These include the Water culture project in Northern Thailand which has allowed the company to feed 100 children continuously every year due to the growing of crops. What a fabulous project, if you ask me! Find out more here.

HOT FASHION TIP: Pair your poncho with a bright pair of wellies for a funky daytime look or show off your waterproof style at your weekend festival, sporting events, theme parks or pretty much wherever the rain drops take you.

If you fancy putting one of these to the test, be sure to order yours for £49 here .

Style: Longer back & shorter front. Love it!

Until next time,

PEARLY PINK CLAWS

YES, this IS a possibility! Gorgeously coloured claws! What a beautiful thought!

There is NOTHING better than having the dandiest and freshest looking manicure! Not only does this contribute towards looking as though you have your life together, but it also makes you FEEL like you do. Think about it – how many times a day do you unexpectedly catch a glimpse of your paws? Almost all day long, right? You can’t hide from them – wherever you go, they’re always going to be there, right by your side – LITERALLY. There’s no escaping such bodily attachments, unfortunately.

For one, I know that if my nails aren’t looking like a Fresh Fiona then I become shy with my hands and find every way to hide them. Not to state the obvious, but that wouldn’t make me very handy! Why not be a pleasant possum and make an exceptional and not so ghastly sight for yourself and all other claw witnesses involved. After all, we only have one set of eyeballs.

My nails and I are all for the pearly pink shades at the moment. I found a great one at Clicks for an entire R29.95. SUCH a bargain, considering most decent quality nail polishes cost an arm and a leg these days. Thankfully not a hand though – I mean, what would be the point in buying nail polish then, right?

Anything “pearly pink” (a whitened light pink colour) hits the spot for me, ESPECIALLY on claws! It just looks so chic and neat. Who wouldn’t want to be sporting such fabulousness everywhere?

The shade in my below picture is “EASY GOING 300” from “SinfulColors Professional” and is made in the U.S of A, in the Big Apple. The brush is rather friendly and spreads the nail polish evenly and smoothly (very well behaved if you ask me). BONUS! The bottle design is pretty simple and clean cut. The nail polish is quite hardy in wear and tear too and the “coverage” is relatively thick. I use two coats per nail. It stayed on for about 3 days with a finishing layer of clear nail polish on top of my “pearly pink”. Any girl knows that 3 days of limited polish chipping is a literal LIFETIME in the land of non-gel nail polish. For that, I would definitely give this particular colour a fat 9/10!
