031 Collection

''This summer, Mr Price is collaborating with some of the freshest, most fabulously fashion-forward designers in the country. The result? A range of unique, locally designed clothing that you simply won’t be able to resist.
Designed for the 031 collection and styled by the gorgeous Agyness Deyn, this much-anticipated range was inspired by all things ’70s and bohemian. With eclectic prints in a vivid mix of oranges and pinks, denims and neutrals, 031 brings you the hottest hemlines and all the silhouettes of the season.'' - From Elle

Love birds

'Simply Amazing' would be the words I would use to describe Kerryn and Roberts special day.
Nothing over the top, but nothing too simple... The whole venue and everything about the wedding  symbolised this perfect couple. Kerryn looked so beautiful and so happy, Robert looked very 'dapper' in his chocolate suit and had the biggest smile on his face the entire day! A perfect wedding. Sadly I didnt have my camera for the most of the wedding (idiot i know), but here's the link to see the professional photos by Carmen Visser (i love them all, especially the one of Kerryn and her sister - Niki, holding the parasols.aaaah .... true love.

Ccb ♥ Couture

My very talented friend from Durban, Chanelle, has just started a clothing brand called 'Ccb Couture'. Her designs are amazing! They are bright and colourful, unique, trendy and sexy, and I can see a piece of her in each garment! I love that she uses a variety of materials in her designs, and that every piece shows such freedom and creativity.

Words from Chanelle: ''CCB ♥ Couture is my independent designer name brand specializing in dress design, hair and make-up. The very concept of CCB Couture is providing you with high class, elegant, feminine, and sophisticated fashion as well as stylish make-up and hair to suit any particular event (specifically bridal, dance and/or high fashion events)''

Lomography - Getting there slowly

So, I have only developed 2 films since i've had my mini Diana, and have only recieved like a handful of decent photos, but i dont care -  i've enjoyed taking every single photo!...I love the fact that I have to take my film in to get developed, as that means I get a packet full of suprises about an hour later when I go to fetch it! Driving home and getting to the computer couldnt be more exciting when you have a newly developed film put onto disc! Here are some of my favourite photos so far....

Kerryn's Batchelorette...

A friend of mine, Kerryn, is getting married in 2 weeks time. Saturday the 10th of September was a  special day filled with sweets, laughter and fun!..It was Kerryn's batchelorette, a tea party inspired by the Madhatter. The decor was just too magical for words!  Have a look see for yourself, although, you had to have been there, the photos dont do justice!  xxx



Shiny Happy People

Shiny happy people laughing
Meet me in the crowd
People people
Throw your love around
Love me love me
Take it into town
Happy happy
Put it in the ground
Where the flowers grow
Gold and silver shine

Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing

Everyone around love them, love them
Put it in your hands
Take it take it
There's no time to cry
Happy happy
Put it in your heart
Where tomorrow shines
Gold and silver shine...

So, THE KOOPLES, French for 'couples', is a new brand that has launched in Paris and Brittain.  A massive hit across the fashion world! Founded by three brothers called Alexander, Laurent and Raphael - the sons of the people behind the successful Comptoir des Cotonniers womenswear chain. The awesome advertising campaign featuring real-life couples looking drop-dead gorgeous in their Kooples gear is seen all over taxis and cabs in London. How hot are these people and their outfits? IM SO JEALOUS! Wishing myself lots of money and a size 28 body right about now...LOVE the outfits on the 4th photo!                                                                          www.thekooples.com 

Cake pops and and loving Spring lots

Spring is FINALLY here! Im loving all the bright colours and cherry blossoms!

So as we swiftly move along, we had a big get together at Tracy's house on Sat, for a 'Girls Spring Lunch'. It was so good to see everyone, and Trace did a super job on organising everything! To add to the occasion, I attempted to make 'cake pops' as they are called. They came out really nicely, but it was a mission trying to get them to the lunch before melting away, as they were coated in chocolate! yum!...

Recipe: sun + friends + fun + yumminess + punch + music = a really good time!
