Minutes to the day...

Hello Lovelies!

I know it has been far too long and there is no excuse except to say that life has completely run away with me and it all has seemed slightly hectic. But alas, here I am having wiped the dust off my keyboard and popping in for a little chat.

Finally the end of the 3^rd term has come and may I say I have never been more excited for a holiday. I don’t know about the rest of you, but the 2^nd half of the year sometimes seems as if it disappears into a slight lull. Our focus is on one thing and one thing only, December/summer holidays! I have already started planning day to day activities, but as I find myself drifting off into a sweet holiday slumber mode, I have to challenge myself by asking...what does TODAY hold? We all know the cliché “smell the roses etc.” But have we actually taken that into account for our lives? It seems to me, that we have all pressed the fast forward button and as much as we try we can’t bring ourselves to slow it down and take life in. I know that this all sound like a broken record but this philosophy of life is so very important to follow. I have got 2 days left before I head back to my home town Durban and I feel the pull is so strong to go back that I am barely thinking about anything else. Today though, I got back to the flat after a long day, huffed and puffed and threw myself on the couch, lay there with a slight stream of sun coming through the blinds and decided that at that exact moment, life truly is a beautiful thing.

It is time that we learn to fully embrace our days, and take each day on as though every breath depended on it. Sure, we are all going to look forward and let ourselves feel uplifted and excited about what’s to come, but make sure you don’t miss out on the perfect moment that could happen in the very next few seconds....Take time out from living in the future or past and focus some energy on the present, it could all change in a split second.

I won’t stay away this long again... I have missed our chats.

stolen moments...

Peace and Love x

Spring a Ding Ding!

Happy Spring friends!
Here in Cape Town we had a gloomy start to our spring. Spring day bloomed with grey skies and blustering winds, the rain joined in later on in the day as we all cowered in our homes wondering when the sun would come out. It did! What a beautiful Saturday we are having!
I thought today I would do a recap on spring 2011 Fashion Trends....
It seems that there is a varied mixture of elements to be thrown around this season. What I like about the fashion predications is that they can apply to every woman’s wardrobe. As I've blogged about previously, 70's and 60's are taking control over the styles. Biker and a touch of punk are seemingly taking stage too. It’s an interesting group of looks and I think we might have great diversity in this season’s style....exciting! Within these styles, plunging necklines, maxi-dresses, lace and crotchet (yay) and many more exciting aspects to springs wardrobe. If I were you, I would explore the 2nd hand stores for your accessories and the odd maxi-dress or blazer. Have some fun with your wardrobes this season; it’s quite hard to get it wrong. Just avoid going over the border on the 70's look. You don’t want to look like your impersonating a character out of the 70's, keep it stylish.

On a different scale, my cousin who is currently residing in Aus has introduced me to Kimbra. Her songs are truly beautiful and I have already downloaded her whole album. The video I’m sharing is "Good Intent" and has a really cool vibe to it, make sure you check out the dance scene and her dresses...wow!

Hope you are all spending your day doing something interesting! Definately a cocktails-by-the-beach day!
Ciao x

White's still remain a firm favourite... and definately still mine!

70's inspired....
