Sun, Sea and Sand!!

I am so super excited for my holiday's this year, I can't even begin to explain. I am going to Cape Town, one of the most beautiful places on earth. I am going to go to the beach, eat fresh sea food and drink wine on the wine route.

One of my favourite things to do is buy a great bikini's...I still haven't, so here is my inspiration for when I do eventually get around to it (has to be this week)!

Also...This year I WILL have beach hair that looks pretty, luckily plaits are in :)

The Doors

At the moment my husband and I are busy looking to make a house a home...buying is stressful. What I have noticed is that South African's are kinda boring when it comes to their front door (no offense anyone). So I have decided I really want a beautiful door, that is warm and inviting. I am loving the dark grey and the blues.

For the Moms...And Dads

As I have many friends with kids, and 2 lovely nieces, I thought I would do a post on a few things that can keep the kids busy during the holidays, hopefully inspire you to take some great pics with your kids and of course also some really cute kiddy outfits.

To the Moms & Dads: I hope this helps :)

Colour Combo Please

Everyone goes through those painful, pull your hair out, dramatically flop onto the bed and cry out 'I have nothing to wear, why is life so unfair" days! What I have come to realise is that those are the days I am more creative, I wear things I haven't in ages and I put things together that I normally wouldn't. So below I have put together some really nice colour combinations that sometimes we might not have thought of, but have in our cupboards. Like Olive & Cream, Red, White and Tan, Navy Blue, Pink & Baby Blue (lurv this one).

When I saw some of these it inspired me. Sure I might not have had the exact same outfit, but thats what inspiration is about....those aha moments (thanks O) that make you feel slightly sheepish and think "Oh, maybe I do have something to wear".

Prezzie Time...

One of the best things about Christmas is seeing all the gifts under the tree, all looking colourful and pretty. Below are some fantastic gift wrapping ideas, which are all super cute and inexpensive. There is always something special about a wrapped gift which has that extra personal touch! Especially when you the person giving, and you put extra effort into the other awesome people in your life :)

Skirts, Skirts & More Skirts

I found this picture the other day and fell in love. So I went on a mission to find a skirt just like it...and I did (literally exactly the same)! This skirt makes me happy everytime I wear it, people love it and I feel femine and flirty in it. They are very much in fashion and are great for summer!

I found mine at Zara in Sandton and they had quite a few colours! All I need is the tan jacket now :)

One month & it's Christmas Eve

OMGosh, so its one month until Christmas Eve and I am so excited. I love South African Christmas', they remind me of sunny days, swimming, friends and family. So between all the other fashion posts I will upload a few ideas that you can do for the festive season which are really fantastic and all pretty easy.

Below is a very summery wreath, a great starter for your table (use different cheeses) and a beautiful welcome drink (just freeze different coloured cordials and pour with sprite)!


Spread the Christmas cheer. xoxo

Yellow...

I need Yellow. At the moment it's all I can think about when it comes to clothing. Yellow is warm, evokes light, is full of creativity, it symbolises wisdom and means joy and happiness. It has been proven that people who are blind to other colours can usually see yellow. All in all a pretty powerful colour...and it's in fashion.

So below are a few pics to inspire you, after all it is summer and no colour epitomises this more than the lovely yellow!
