So the whole world has become wrapped up in this whole "Kimye" baby saga... North, South, East or Wild Wild West, who really cares?! They are celebs that decided to give their baby a crazy unique name (big surprise there) Is it really that interesting? Dont get me wrong I am just as obsessed with reality programs as the next girl, but lets put things into perspective. I have seen more tweets, articles and facebook status's about this ridiculously non-interesting slice of information than I have seen about our absolute iconic heroes slow and inevitable death, Nelson Mandela.

I dont want to be morbid and write my obituary yet... I can't even begin to fathom the thought of losing one of histories most beautiful souls...All i'm saying is lets just get real here, place your thoughts and prayers where they should be, yes babies are awesome and a blessing, but their name should not be the prime focus of all.

Presently working on a new project in Lingerie... It's so interesting! We completely underestimate how cool underwear can actually be! Not only are people looking funkier underneath their clothes, but lingerie is now becoming day wear. Not the racy lacy numbers no, but the the lace bandeau, bralettes etc. are being made in a way now that teamed with a pair of high-wasted anythings, you have yourself a crazy summer outfit. Festival living if there ever was. Cotton on is probably the leading brand for these styles... but watch this space, there's more to come

.

Oh Yeahhhh... so it's back to my hometown today! Heard from the locals that it is a sunny 25 degree's, this make's me too excited! Cape Town has been hit with what I can only describe as the snow queens wrath... This will be my first full-blown winter in Cape Town, I would generally be heading home for a few weeks... Anyway it is not the end of the world, just have to rethink the wardrobe (never a treacherous task if you ask me) I decided to explore some of the European online stores, just too look ya know, never buy (humm)

Anyways, I found some really funky stores and I have now become obsessed and yes I absolutely ordered online. I feel that this winter is a playful one. Yes, its's lovely to look classic and "french" in winter but there really is just so much more you can do with it. I suggest always having your standard classic trench coat, not only do you look completely smooth in it, but it really does keep you warm. But instead of combining it with your standard boots, cardigans etc. mix it up a little. Add some brogues instead of boots, with a boyfriend beanie just because its cool too look hipster!  Neon coloured accessories, (not my fav, but I'm supposed to like them) I saw a interesting style of Nike neon running sneakers with skinny jeans and a trench. Look pretty funky actually, I take back all my "know-it-all" comments about running shoes being work as everyday shoes... sorry fashion Gods.

Have a look at these combo's.... I dig it!

Would Kill for some summer beach strolling... 

Slightly gushy and romantic but hey, lets admit looks pretty damn cute!

So now that the blog has been reinvented, now it's time to get the rest of life in order... I always find it better to write it down, record it and then hopefully, my new "set of rules" will guide me into creating (excuse the cliche) a better me!

First things first... I am now in the working world, I graduated and got a job.. pretty standard really, I didn't go off on some crazy adventure like I originally said I would, instead I merely glided into normal everyday life and if I am honest it really has been a treat. Being on a salary has seriously made me question my economical brain. Ok, I've never really possessed that but still... the shopping addiction seemingly escalated as my first pay check wen through the bank. HUGE problems! 

My goal of the week.... learn to budget! 

1. Do not go to the shops when you know you cant afford the clothes, that's dumb, you will cry!

2. You know you cant afford to go out to lunch/dinner/coffee so find yourself a boyfriend that will take you       on dates, no I am joking, but rather just have your people round to your place and maybe ask you BFF to grab a carton of milk on their way? Then you have for the whole week!

3. 2 Minute noodles... do not underestimate the power of the R4 dinners!

4. If you think that by shopping at Mr Price is going to save you money, you're wrong. You will end up spending more because each individual item is so cheap that it seems like such a bargain, until you get to the till point at and the cashier ask's you to swipe your life away... again you will cry.

5. Get a hobby, will keep you out of the stores (and no, not a hobby that;s going to require you spending more time buying things) 

6. Put your cold turkey feelings into maybe exercise or reading books... don't start smoking or drinking, you will be more broke than before. 

7. At the beginning of the month, spend your money on the necessities, you know, petrol, groceries, rent... this does not include a new jacket or shoes because its your treat. NO, you are not rich, you cannot treat yourself!

Let's see how long this lasts...ha!

Simplified, modified and justified

It really has been a good long time since I have sat and sent some of my own personal thoughts out into cyber space. So many different things have changed that I am seriously unsure of where to begin...

Lets start with the blogs new look. I guess in essence it has followed the same course that my life is on at the moment. In 3 words I guess I would describe it as simplified, modified and justified...I lost interest in the hustle and bustle of trying to make the blog overly pretty. So now its back to a simple, raw and real design with an incredibly dorky but fun title! 

Just going to have fun with this one I suppose...

AND I'M BACK.......
