I’ve always loved a good wide jeans – think boyfriend fit,etc. But when they disappeared off the shelves a few years ago and I outgrew my beloved old faithfuls that I already owned, the skinny jeans then welcomed me with open arms. And I loved em right back (eventually, that is). Fastforward to more recent ..read more

Its really no secret I love putting together little celebrations…big or small. Big budget or teeny tiny; For holidays, milestones or birthdays, it matters not, there is a great sense in joy and satisfaction for me in stringing it all together. And whilst I know our usual gatherings in birthdays had to take an unfortunate long & extended back seat due lockdown, it feels fun to start stretching those party planning limbs again. And for a teen birthday party no less! So i knew the chosen activity had to be fun and engaging enough to catch a teens attention.

An easy friday night out for a casual dinner with friends, while the weather starts to cool off, as we start to welcome Autumn back into our cosy-loving arms.
The star of this look, I feel, are those beautiful blue wide leg jeans, that are comfortably snug around the waist and hip area, while widening all the way down (not flair). Perfect length. Perfect softness. A pretty blue colour, and soft to the touch. And definitely makes me feel comfy in my own skin, as I navigate my new found curves.
These Jeans are from my fave H&M and you can find em here. (Style is called, “Wide high jeans ..read more

Never in my Christmas loving life did i think I’d be the one to start decorating the bathroom for Christmas…BUT HERE WE ARE! I guess, given my Christmas freak status, it was inevitable.
All pieces used listed below, and my advice to you is RUN, dont walk. The stock seemed limited and we almost NEVER get these kinda pieces for the holidays here in SA, let alone for that price. I dang near shrieked when I spotted these Nutcracker pieces in store, because I know I’ve been hunting for years locally just for one of stores to stock SOMETHING like it!
Granted, in my bathroom are just a few touches ..read more

Halloween decorating has officially kicked off in our home and i couldn’t be happier! This little table setting is definitely one of my faves with these adorable ghosts that I’ve been wanting to make since last year.
They’ve been on my radar for longer than that (thanknyou, pinterest!), but I finally bought the cheesecloth last October (already!). However, I ran out of time. But, figured they’d be my first port of call when this season kicks off.
And so it was!I made a few test drives back in August and knew i was gonna share them with you. It looks like cheesecloth ghosts are a viral hut on ..read more
