Style, Fashion & Wardrobe: Odile Muller (Gertze)

Following an urge and desire and taking a chance: (What's life without taking risks hey, lol?)

A quote by Mark Houlahan:

"If you want your life to be a magnificent story, then begin by realizing that you are the author and everyday you have the opportunity to write a new page."

So, here goes. I love this lady, her style, her beauty, her passion and her drive. She is one small pettite woman, yet with so much flare and attitude (positive)!!!

Been searching and scrutinizing to see who I want to feature first for this chapter of my blog and well, well, well, our former Miss Namibia (2010), Odile Muller (Gertze) made the cut.

So, let's start:

Odile is a beauty queen born in Windhoek, 1988. Miss Namibia 2010 and made it to the top 25 at the Miss World beauty pageant as well in the same year. Proud Namibian moments, lol.

I've asked her to share a few detail with me and I am so happy to share it with you my chikas, so here goes:

Which trend will you working this Summer?

Well, I love my legs and showing them off. The main trend I would love to try is the new floral print dresses, shorts and skirts, especially the peplum. I also want to experiment with loud and colorful prints. (I believe you'll be able to pull that off, lol).

 
Describe your relationship with your wardrobe?

Right now it's a love and hate kind of relationship. Sometimes I find buried treasures, another occasion I never find anything to wear!!! (Lol, completely think that this is a woman's thing, gosh, hehehehe). But I enjoy experimenting and playing around with different textures and mixing old with new.




Favourite item in your wardrobe?

My SHOES and my accessories. These are the key items that make or break your wardrobe!!! I had to spring clean my closet and give away boxes of clothes and shoes so my collection is looking really thin. But like they say, out with the old, in with the new! (I also believe in that, and it's good, but surely think that some things you just can't give away, no matter how old or small they are, lol).






















What's your fav go-to shop, and which pieces in-store do you gravitate to first?

It usually varies on budget (Oh sure, she also has a budget, lol). Mr. P and Edgars are always loyal to me and I rarely leave unsatisfied. But my fashion heart belongs to Anjo's and their beautiful selection on shoes. (Do yourself a favour and browse through their website, it is amazing).

Describe your best buy:

My best buy has to be something that I have been looking for forever. A recent best buy from Anjo's, a pair of black flare shorts that is a perfect fit for my small pair-shaped body type. What I'm searching for now, the perfect pencil skirt. I could make it myself, but what fun would that be if you can't go shopping??? (Lol, good one...)

Define your own style:

Classy, fun, eclectic. Not all at once though...



What's the one fashion trend you wish you have never worn?

Faded Acid Wash Jeans. EEK!!!

Do you have a dominating colour in your wardrobe and what is it?

Oddly enough, black and neutral tones. When you experiment with fashion, it's always safer to try it in a neutral tone, and if you rock it, then you can go crazy.

Who's your fashion icon/crush?

I have 3, Blake Lively for her ultra girly, fashion forward appeal, Kim Kardashian for her love for labels and Olivia Palmero, she has this amazing talent of wearing ANY trend and making it work. (I can imagine why these 3 woman are her top 3, just look at some glam).







 
Odile got married recently and she gladly shared a pic in her gown with me. She sounds very excited about the future and is also very patient, but boy-oh-boy if someone is busy with a lot of things at the same time, it's this lady!!!
 
Love the detail of this gown, beuatiful and classy indeed!!!
 


Till later chikas!!!

Mwah!!!
xoxo
