I’m an avid reader of Jess Lively’s blog. Last year there was a turn-a-round in the blogosphere, caused by one of Jess’ posts entitled ‘Things I’m afraid to tell you’. It sparked a wave of prominent bloggers, to open up and admit to their readers that their lives weren’t as perfect as they seemed on their blogs. I think this was such a great idea. With...

Hey, my comment was featured on The Everygirl!

I’ve been reading The Everygirl almost every single day since June last year. They have the most wonderful articles and are a constant source of inspiration in all sectors of my life. So when they asked for readers to write in explaining how The Everygirl has inspired them, I jumped at my chance to share how much Alaina and Danielle have moved me to be a better version of me. I am...

[[MORE]] How cute are these new shoes? I’ve always been more of a heels girl, but when I’m dragging my laptop and gazillion bags (for some reason I always seem to have a lot of stuff with me) around Cape Town I have to be practical, and flats are the way to go. I bought all of these at Mr Price, who I have to say have really picked up their act in the last while. I’ve been...

Ladies Lunch

Spent a lazy Sunday afternoon with Michane and Klaudia, nibbling on treats and sipping wine. Klaudia has the most beautiful courtyard in her block of flats, so we relaxed outside, and were visited by countless squirrels and a bunny rabbit! [[MORE]]

The Btech Project. Post #3

The Btech project is slowly taking form. It’s becoming slightly annoying, because I’ve given up my entire life in complete devotion to achieving a fantastic mark. It’ll all be worth it in the end, I’m sure, and I have an amazing lecturer, Chantelle Arpesella, who’s guiding me through the chaos. Anyway, I sound like I hate what I’m doing. Let me just be clear,...

After creating such lovely images for the last edition of Spar Savour magazine, my friend Leigh and I were asked to do some more work for the online mag. We shot and styled two different pieces, although I can’t share them yet because the next edition of Spar Savour only goes live in 13 days time. But here are a few tit bits in the mean time.

The Dog's Bollucks

Before I went away to Thailand, I had dinner at a fantastic restaurant called The Dog’s Bollucks with my fabulous friends Klaudia and Michane. They make the most overwhelmingly delicious burgers you’ve ever laid eyes on! I ate the dream-worthy New Yorker (which is very sneakily a lot more burny than you’d think, which I loved). Check out the photos below of their fantastic...

I’m such a breakfast girl. I simply love the fact that it can be sweet or savoury! What a choice… So I treated myself on Sunday morning, to a smorgasbord of delights. Peanut butter toast, strawberries & castor sugar and my favourite green tea, with a dash of lemon juice. I laid them all out on my beautiful wooden board, that was a gift from my cousin Tracy’s wedding. ...

Typo Obsession Continued

In my mind, I’m the queen of organisation. Somehow this never seems to translate into my daily life. I put fashion and outfit planning over putting clothes away and tidying up, so inevitably I have a mass clean-up every weekend. What a waste of time, but at least I always look presentable. [[MORE]] Okay, I’m side-tracking. The point is, I like to believe that I live in organised...

The Btech Project. Post #1

I’ve recently written my thesis, entitled ‘The way women are represented in South African media and how this negatively affects the way in which they perceive themselves.’ It took ages, was a huge shlep, but it’s done and I’m proud of it. For the next 6 months, we’re spending our time coming up with design solutions for our thesis. I’ve decided to...
