What I wore

1 Comment

We have been having such weird weather lately so I’m never quite sure what to wear, I settled on:

– black jeggings (I must try other pants sum time,hehe)
– gold top with lace trim (little boutiquey shop)
– 3 quarter yellow zip up cardigan (gift)
– gold mellisa pumps
– printed blue satin scarf (I dnt remember, love scarves though)
As I type this I can hear rain starting outside so outfit is likely to change
. Have a good weekend 🙂

It’s time for me to show off my talented friends again 🙂

Today I’m introducing Lana Breedt this super sweet , funny, and just a little crazy artist from Port Elizabeth. We used to work in the same office and it has just not been the same since she decided working from home in her PJ’s was a better option 😉 I miss me constantly accidently insulting her and having her make me sweat it out, hehe

Up up and away…

Today is the end of an era, I’m saying goodbye to my job as lifestyle reporter and hello to a life as “Production supervisor, freelance journo, amateur photographer and blogger” (sounds impressive doesn’t it-I’m trying to cheer myself up).
I’m feeling a little sad, it’s been almost three years and through tears and fears I have loved it, the events, the trips and even the deadlines, but hey you have to keep growing in life.
So wish me luck from here on out, I feel good things a coming!

List of things I hope the near future holds (in random, first ten things that come to me order)
— Get a new car, our old jalopy is not a fan of us of late
— Go on an international trip with Rob, I have never even been on a plane with him so really wanna
— Get my drivers licence. Im soooo embarrassed that I still don’t have it, I just keep failing it’s like this thing in my life I just cant do and it eats at me!!! I can drive pretty well I’m told, but every time i do the test I get so nervous I can hardly think (hit the examinor with my door the last time), this is like the bane of my existence (and every time some1 asks, “so when you getting your licence?”, I want to throttle them) it doesn’t help that it’s quite a pricey thing to do – Damn I’m starting to feel like Sponge Bob or Sheldon on Big Bang Theory🙁
— Get to grips with this clinical depression thing, think I’m getting there on this one.
— Have a baby, well this is not next week or anything, but I can see a baby in my future
— Fix up our place, we very much doing this at the moment and as we have decided to stay for another 3 or so years it’s important to be comfy
— Buy a house. We still saving for this one hence the staying where we are now thing
— Grow my blog. I’ve been having a blast and wanna continue
— Get a new camera and focus on my photography a bit more, join a photography club maybe
— Get into shape, but try not to obsess about my weight so much, this one is a little easier said than done

Wish me luck, I’m going to need it!

To all the men I love :)

daddy’s little girl
My mom often jokingly says that the problem with me is, I grew up with a father that spoils me and ended up marrying a guy that does the same.
I tell her that is not a problem at all, just luck of the draw 😉
But in all seriousness I am extremely lucky to have two such wonderful men in my life.
I’ve always been the independent do my own thing type and I think I have been able to do that because my dad was always in my corner, I also have my brother and uncles and more recently my husband.
The reason for my soppiness this morning is this:
-I was exhausted last night and came home to bed made in front of the tv from where I could chat to Rob and watch him cook one of my favourite meals, he is always spoiling me like that (usually food related though so I’m starting to think he is a borderline chubby chaser). Then I dosed off and woke up to a clean kitchen and Rob coming home from dropping off a hot toddy with my mom because he was worried about her being in bed with flu for a few days. 
-Then this morning I needed a lift to the train station and my dad who had clearly overslept due to flu meds got up out of bed and pulled on jeans over his pjs to chase the train with me.
Thank you both I appreciate you more than you know
Ok soppy moment over, have a great day

So last week I featured one half of the Boguslavsky sister blogger team and this week we have the other, how cool is that 😀
Alla Boguslavsky
stole her twitter pic
1. You are: Alla Boguslavsky – Market Research project manager by day, fashion blogger by nightJ
2. How many pairs of shoes do you own? I own 21 pairs of shoes…but only wear about 15 of them regularly. I love comfortable shoes, the rest are for special occasions!
3. Why do you think a great pair of shoes has such an effect on women? Well…what else can make your legs look *that* good?
4. Which shoe are you still searching for? Definitely a pair of high heel pumps! I am searching for something a little different, maybe with some bling or sparkle to brighten up the dark colours in my Winter wardrobe. Nothing has quite caught my eye yet.
5. Which shoe can’t you believe you actually wore: I owned a pair of blue (*cringe*)  sneakers in varsity which I thought were extremely cool at the time.
6. Fav shoe/style quote: “If the shoe fits, buy it in every colour!”

My weekend in pics

So this is more or less what I got up to this weekend, I’m leaving out working and snacking on the couch in the hopes of looking less like a dweeb.
hehe have a great monday



Had breakfast with Rob on Saturday, it was really chilly this weekend so sitting by the fire at Saffron with and espresso was just what I needed



Thought Rob looked too cute with his butch leather jacket and delicate cup of coffee

My sister took this pic of Rob and I, love it for some reason

Had a bit of a family night Saturday evening. Rob and I went out with my brother, his gf and my sister(above) and her bf
– It started with us (Rob and I) getting badly beaten at pool. According to my brother I’m sooo bad at pool he was convinced I was just acting to scam them, I was not 🙁

We went to the game centre next to see who could get the most tokens.
– My sister and her bf, Saeed (above) beat us all, I still think they cheated

My brother and his girlfriend, Lesronique (above) were a close second, Rob and I are not the competitive type *blush* Rob did put up the highest score on a bunch of shooting games though and is dying to get my brother (winner of everything sporty) on a paint ball field

We did bowling too and my bro won (he is annoying like that)

The sexiness that is the bowling shoe

Sunday we went for dessert with our good friend Revinia (we are God parents to her little one,Zoey)

I had half brownie and half a slice of cheese cake and had the waiter look at me like I had asked for the whole cake and a shovel, some people I tell you.
