The award-winning lifestyle and fashion blogger Twiggy has made a name for herself with her blog named "Sleepless in Soweto" where she features everything fabulous about what to wear, eat and go in Johannesburg and outside South Africa.
Her Instagram is as colourful and interesting as her personality...full of yummy looking food, cocktails, travels and style inspiration.
Twiggy was recently in Mauritius, for 6 days of island exploring and slaying courtesy of Mauritius Tourism South Africa. She shares with us her style diary from the island.
The Bodycon:
Baby blue body con dress and white sneakers, red cat eye sunglasses
My first day on the island was about learning more about the Festive International Kreol. A local festival that celebrates Mauritians and their Kreol heritage and culture. I opted for a very simple and comfortable look as it was my first day on the island and I didn't know what to expect in terms of weather, activities and overall vibes of how people dress on the island.
Jumpsuit;
Stripped linen jumpsuit and espadrilles
For my catamaran cruise outfit, I wanted to go for something light but that would ensure that I don't get a bad sunburn. Although the sun did burn me right through the jumpsuit, I felt light throughout the boat ride and changed into a full, stripped swimsuit to bake even further. I had paired this look with a pair of espadrilles, however, no shoes were allowed on the boat.

Casual:
White tee, orange pvc skirt, tube socks and vans
Day two was spent sight seeing, waterfalls, the seven colours and botanical gardens. Sneakers were definitely necessary with all the walking that took place. I couldn't resist and paired them with a bright orange vinyl skirt, just to stay on trend.
