Peachy





Outfit post!
This is what I wore to dinner last night with my mama which was sublime - beef fillet with red wine jus and summer veg, and a perfect little Tiramisu to end it off, all swallowed down with a bottle of bubbly to share... yum!
*High waisted trousers - Woolworths
*Belt - Primark
*Tan platforms - John Rocha
*Peach vest with lace and pearl detail - Mr P
*Essie's 'Mint Candy Apple'
The weekend is almost over - sob!
Have a happy week everybody.

Grapes

Last weekend I went to Benoni for lunch at a place called Grapes.
It was lovely!
My best friend, Giselle, and her boyfriend invited us for some lunch and beverages and a sweet afternoon was had by all!
Us girls guzzled sparkling wine like it was juice, and had lots of funsies.
Benoni is so sweet and old-school, and I must admit I missed out on many photo opps when dodgy old cars drove past and crusty old men sang R&B tunes from their dated BMW's.

planet rock






Hi guys!
Hope you've all had a fabulous weekend. I did!
And now it's Sunday, but before I retire to bed and prepare for a wonderful week of work (yeah right!), I wanted to show you all my new favourite necklace!
Studio W from Woolworths - I love it!
It's lovely with plain white and black vests, and it doesn't look that bad with my new chiffon vest with the beading detail (also from Woolies - I went a bit mad there last weekend).
It reminds me of a piece of some amazing space rock.
Yup, like I'm carrying a fragment of some meteor around my neck, how cool?
You lovely amethyst you.

Mine.






I'm a girl of my word, and as promised here are some of my favourites rings!
Those babies with the brown, blue and bright green stones were my Nana's rings which I just absolutely adore.
And the gold belt ring was my mom's, which she so kindly gave to me since we both knew I would appreciate it a bit more than her these days!
And then there's the hundreds of other beauts from all over the place, which are all lovely in there own special, sparkly way.

rings n things




Yes, yes I know what you're thinking... Another ring post?
I can't help myself, I just love rings.
How lovely is the wolf ring? And the deer ring with those antlers?!
Wait for my next post, I'll show you my very own goodie bag of finger fun.

twisted





Plaits are so lovely aren't they?
And I think they're perfect for summer!
For those really warm days when you don't want your hair all over your back and neck like a thick blanket, just roughly plait it all and swing it back.
Gorgeous!
What's your go to hairstyle for those hot Summer days and nights?

Sonia Rykel Spring 2011








I don't usually post runway photos but I couldn't not share Sonia Rykel's Spring 2011 collection from Paris Fashion Week!
There's beautiful colours and autumnal hues.
Sculpted shoulders and flowy fabrics.
Buttons and gold shiny's.
Leather and colour blocks.
I'm all over this collection like a moth to a flame.
And what an awfully pretty flame it is.
