I’m sure I’m not the only one having slight shopping withdrawal, I even miss window shopping and while online shopping is definitely second for me (I much prefer going into the store and taking my time), I thought that this was the perfect time to put together an autumn online shopping edit. You can pop […]

I love a wearable trend but I was hesitant to style a denim midi skirt I won’t lie. BUT after some hits and misses, I am obsessed with how versatile a denim midi is and how easy it is to wear.
I tried on quite a few denim midi skirts before buying one and something that I reckon makes or breaks it is the slit in the front. It breaks the denim up nicely and takes the look from frumpy to fabulous. You also want to make sure it is actually a midi length, not a maxi. Ideally, it should hit your legs mid to lower calf, but not as far as your ankles.
I’ve put together a collection of three den ..read more

Nobody panic! I am not about to become a fashion blogger, but every now and again I do think of popping a style post up. What do you think?
Back to this post though. A little while ago, Cape Town based designer, Anneen Henze contacted me to say that she was sending me one of fifty media boxes. To be honest, I didn’t have a clue about her or her clothing line and so I hopped online to have a look.
I was seriously impressed! She creates such lovely pieces: simple but special and able to suit each shape and size. As expressed on her website, “Anneen believes that every woman should feel confident ..read more

Is there anything more classic than a white shirt? I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve only recently added one to my wardrobe… and I’m loving it! It took me a week or so but now I feel super confident when it comes to different ways to style it and I’ve realised how truly versatile this item of clothing is. I like to think that I can’t be the only one who didn’t quite know how to style a basic white shirt and so I hope this blog post is helpful to you.
If you’re keen to see the 5 ways I style my white shirt, give this reel over here a watch. I decided to just keep the rest of my outfit simple s ..read more

A little black dress is great, but a lovely black maxi dress is even better I think!
I recently purchased a black maxi dress, I just knew that it would become an incredibly versatile item in my wardrobe and I wasn’t wrong! The one that I bought isn’t available anymore but I’ve put together a list and linked 5 similar ones:
1. Dress masito from Mango
2. Ribbed organic knitwear tank dress from Superbalist
3. Plain slip on dress from Pick n Pay Clothing
4. Essential split short sleeve midi dress from Cotton On
5. Relaxed tee dress from Cotton On
I thought I would show you three ways that I wear ..read more

I’ve never been a huge jewellery girl – I have a few key pieces that I wear every single day, the most I do is change up my earrings to go with my outfit. When I was introduced to Georgini a few weeks ago, I was really impressed by what I saw, in fact it made me want to change up my entire jewellery collection! There are so many gorgeous pieces and so today I am going to show you a few items that you might want to invest in, plus what Georgini sent to me to add to my new collection and you will have the chance to win the same set valued at R2200!
Georgini is an Australian brand that is now ava ..read more

Well it only took me 37483928 weeks to get this toddler clothing haul up – eeeeek, sorry! Anyway, as most of you know, I did a little bit of damage at Ackermans a few weeks ago. I’ve already put up a women’s wear haul which you all seemed to love, hopefully you will enjoy the toddler version just as much.
Aria hasn’t really been in the mood for the camera recently, and I never ever force her to take pictures when she doesnt want to. In fact, most of the pictures that I take of her are when she is playing around and are hardly ever posed. Because let’s be honest, trying to get Aria to stand sti ..read more

I am SO excited to finally get part one of my Ackermans clothing haul up! Buying clothing for myself is something that I very rarely do and so picking up a few pieces for myself from Ackermans was a real treat, even though what i bought for myself is a pittance compared to what Aria scored, I’m really chuffed with what I found and think that they are going to work brilliantly with the rest of my wardrobe.
Ackermans clothing has always been a hit for me when buying clothing for Aria, since before she was born, but I’ve never really bought anything for myself there which is suprising because the ..read more

Some people just seem to love exercise, I am just not one of them. I’ve never been one to wake up in the morning ready to hit gym, climb a mountain or go for a run. To be honest, there are a ton of other things that I would prefer to do… like snuggle in bed with a cup of coffee. However, a few months ago, I just knew that my body was in desperate need of some exercise, and so I signed up to a gym… again. It’s been about three months now (which is early days) but I am slowly learning to love exercise.
I honestly never thought that I would enjoy my hour three times a week at gym, and a lot of th ..read more

A few weeks ago, the sun was shining, birds were singing, to cut a long story short, it was a gorgeous day in Jozi. And what goes hand in hand with a sun-shiney day? Ice cream! And so off we went to Fab Cafe and Gelato to meet some friends, Aria dressed in her ridiculously cute Kapas Baby frilly dress with whales on.
Fab is such a stunning and delicious addition to the already awesome 4th avenue in Parkhurst and it is definitely going to become somewhere that we frequent during the upcoming summer months. The decor is absolutely gorgeous and totally Instagrammable, which of course makes ..read more
