New Year, New You?

So I have been trying to write a post for ages now, but for some reason haven't found the motivation. I am not sure why, maybe I've got Bloggers Block (not sure if I just coined a new term, ok just googled it and I didn't, go figure).

A lot of people around our office have had the same feeling. It seems like everyone expected 2012 to be bigger and better than 2011, that was a hard year, and somehow it hasn't lived up to our expectations. But, we need to be kind to 2012, give her some room to really shine.

Below are some pictures to really inspire us for 2012. They don't just involve fashion, but rather things we should all have on our bucket lust (you see what I just did there ;). This might seem late, but better late than never. This is for your home, travels, love, life and self! All images from thefancy.com

TO AN INSPIRATIONAL 2012:

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 :)
