Dressed By Vanessa

Dressed By Vanessa Enjoy exclusive & affordable fashion while shopping for the latest trends in an intimate and relaxed environment. Popular wardrobe consultations also available.

I left the corporate world in 2001 and began exploring the possibility of doing something on my own. Through my love of fashion I saw a need for exclusive garments at reasonable prices, combined with a more intimate and personalised shopping experience. Dressed By Vanessa took off with a bang, with fashions being sourced from as far afield as China, Vietnam and Bangkok. A focus on quality has howe

ver resulted in focus on Hong Kong and an increased support for local designers. My business relies largely on word of mouth and its success is proven by the number of loyal clients kept happy and glam! Through my years in the fashion world, my philosophy has remained steadfast: exclusivity, affordability, honesty and a pleasant, personalised shopping experience. As a result, I've never moved from a small, intimate studio and also offer a personal shopping service and very popular wardrobe consultations.

First Thursdays felt like the perfect opportunity to wear the fabulous, shimmery gold tank top I’ve just found at Zara & paired it up with my new coated jeans from Witchery and an old favorite bomber style jacket, which I’d picked up years ago in a little boutique in Franshoek.
Over the years, I've collected various pieces that hold sentimental value and each has a story to tell. I love incorporating these with new finds each season, to maintain a touch of fun and stay on trend.

Ps. I LOVED First Thursdays - the art galleries, the energy, the people, it was all just fabulous!!!

Hello 2023!! A slow start for me getting back onto my social media & 2022 wasn’t much better!! I spent most of last year largely focused on settling into and renovating our new home. It was a bit hectic and I couldn’t wait for the building to end, but I loved immersing myself in the design, fabrics & wallpaper choices and creating spaces that bring me much happiness after a year of terrible loss and sadness.
This dress by .shop sums up my wish for 2023 - May the year ahead be filled with brightness, fun, style & everything that makes us happy!

Heads up for a fab find - Loving these Desray Shaped Cotton Pants. Great cut, flattering lines, on trend & easy to wear - I’m a huge fan of the Ginger colour too!

I’ve been far more absent than planned, but the past few months have been supremely hectic and my life has been thrown completely upside down, with not only our move and renovations but also losing someone very special to me.

So as the year winds down a bit now, I hope to find more time for myself and as I shop, stock up and tweak my Summer wardrobe, I’ll hopefully be able to give you lots more tips on where to find some goodies!

New kicks - such fun! 🤩Can also highly recommend  for fab tracksuits - great fit, warm & comfy!
