A new addition to the Marie Claire fashion team

Meet Kelly!

We would like to formally introduce you to our new Johannesburg Fashion Assistant, Kelly Fung. She will also be blogging about the latest fashion news for us. We thought we would find out more about the vivacious Kelly by investigating her extensive shoe collection. Kelly has an amazing amount of high quality footwear for her size three feet; most women with the same podiatry proportions struggle to find shoes. However, Kelly has some great tips for anyone with an unusual shoe size.

She recommends online shopping as you can find the coolest shoes for a great price and she makes sure she checks out the size guides that each site provides. Kelly says “it’s all about proportion!” and manages to find shoes in unlikely locations – often whilst aboard.

Another styling tip of hers is to base an outfit on one fun piece and keep everything else as simple as possible, this way your outfit will never be too much and make you look like you are trying too hard.

 

 

Here are some more of Kelly’s Favourite Things:

Favourite music…

I love Metric, Band of Horses and good ol’ pop band Maroon Five. I like really old music from the ’70s and ’80s, the kind my dad listens to.

Favourite stores…

Locally, I love little boutiques like My Sister’s Closet in Melville. I’m a sucker in any MAC make-up store and of course, the usual; Mr P, Zara (hoorah!) Internationally, my first port of call are the high street stores like Topshop, H&M, Cos, Bershka. I love Grey Hound, Another and Mob.F in Bangkok.
