Sergio Ines
What My Boyfriend Wore, is described as a dandy’s diary about all things dapper, and with almost 240 000 followers it’s definitely a hit.
A little factoid: the blog was actually started by Sergio’s girlfriend. It all started with her documenting his stylish and smart looks and it just took off from there. Find the where, what and how when it comes to men’s style at www.whatmyboyfriendwore.com
Aqeelah Harron
All of 7 years ago Fashion Breed was born. Since its inception, Aqeelah has graced the pages of numerous publications and slays us on the daily with her self-professed European-inspired style. We love that Aqeelah features a lot of modest dressing articles and videos on her blog, demonstrating that modest attire can be on trend and stylish.
She’s a regular on Expresso’s fashion panel and gives us life with her advice and encouragement. Follow Aqeelah and become obsessed just like we have: www.fashionbreed.co.za
Lulaman Mlambo
Lulaman “Wolf” Mlambo is a creative with a hunger for fashion, art and food. She uses her blog and social media accounts as a platform to express herself as both a stylist and artist. She says that the meaning of ‘Wolf’ is to aspire to be at the forefront of what she does and in doing so, hopes to inspire her readers.
Her clean minimalist style both inspires and excites us; we encourage you to follow the Wolf, like we have, at www.black-base.com/lulamawolf.
Nadia Jaftha
Ever since her first prank on her mom involving a cigarette, the two have fast become a relatable duo sharing personal moments with fans. Nadia started blogging about 4 years ago and since then has had an explosion of interest from fans eager to witness her antics and keen sense of style.
We love what she does because it’s fresh and funny, and fashionable to boot. She previously dabbled in clothing design but has now set all her focus on her blog and social following. We look forward to seeing what this funny fashionista comes up with next and if you’d like to keep up with her you can check out her blog at www.birdlineblog.com
