Hello All....

I have been so useless this week with posting, inspiration just hasn't hit. I cant imagine what it must be like as a writer and you hit this mental block, must be so frustrating. Anyway I am going to force it out of me and see where it goes...

Lately I have been obsessing over 3 things, converse, skateboards and long hippy blonde hair. I have absolutely no doubt that I along with 1 million others are thinking the exact same thing. What a weird obsession to have! Back in the day I was always a barbie playing, dress wearing, hop scotch hopping type of a girl. Tom-boy(ism) was never a big part of my nature, however clearly the new trend is to be exactly that. Feminine acts such as Audrey Hepburn whistling down a cab in Breakfast at Tiffanys with her pearls and LBD have turned into something very much of the past. The new thing to do is to walk out your home and hop on your skateboard and look incredibly groovy doing it. It's all over Tumblr, Instagram, pinterest etc. there's always an ocean to the left with a beautiful sunset, beanies and ray-bans, girls holding hands with their skater besties or their incredibly cool looking boyfriends. Those pictures really leave me feeling inspired. It just looks far to cool... 

But in Reality...

I would 100% fall and break something and my whole hipster, skater girl look would crumble as quickly as my poor bones would. I'd break my ray-bans, lose my beanie and probably scruff my converse into waste. Doesn't sound so appealing to me now. Is it really the skateboarding that girls love or is it the kick ass pictures we get to instagram? If its the latter, hook me up with a funky board and I'll sit on it, the whole way along the promenade. Maybe the bestie or bf could pull me along with a string? Now we're thinking! I think I will stick to my fantasy of a New York cab or a Blair Waldorf chauffeured car.

Slightly precocious, but had to say it!

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!
