HERES WISHING YOU A FABULOUSLY FASHIONABLE FRIDAY
Fashion Friday: Let it sway
Happy Youth Day…
This question goes out to South Africans…What does Youth day mean to you?
Officially (according to the history books: Youth Day on 16 June in South Africa commemorates the start of the Soweto riots of 1976, initially sparked by a government edict that all instruction in black schools would be held in Afrikaans. The iconic picture of Hector Pieterson, a black schoolchild shot by the police, brought home to many people within and outside South Africa the brutalities of the Apartheid regime. )
But what does it mean to you as a person?
Apart from being a public holiday and the lucky ones being allowed to sleep all we want and attend commemorative events, the day is pretty significant, it shows that as the youth you don't have to wait for the future to make a difference. I'm not saying do anything dangerous or get yourself hurt but don't wait for things to happen to you fight for what you believe in like the old saying says: If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything.
Have a good day all
Live Love LAUGH
I love to laugh that’s just me, I think that’s something every1 who knows me knows. Sometimes it’s inappropriate like when Im eavesdropping on a conversation on the train (it gets boring sometimes ppl) and I burst out laughing at something someone has said and they look at me like, “that was not for your ears”. Sometimes I laugh alone cause I find the humour in the most arb things and not everyone gets me-my brother explained it as me being Frasier and them being Sunday morning cartoons, but mostly I laugh with friends and family.
Funny thing is, I hate my laugh, it’s a rather annoying snorting thing that happens, very ugly Betty! But my point is laughing is free (with my current bank balance, free is good) its really healthy read here for more on health aspects and it just seriously cheers you up.
I come from a family of inappropriate joke makers like my mom telling us that she sees the value in contraceptives when we act out or my dad pushing over a display in the shop, making me think I did it and then laughing his head off.
My love of laughter means I fill my life with it as much as I can, I read witty books and watch stand-up comedy and sitcoms, I surround myself with funny people and I try to see the humour in everything.
I’m not saying I don’t take things seriously, sometimes things are just not funny, there is so much pain in the world that often tears seem like the only option.
Laughter does hold so much though it breaks barriers and makes friends so next time you feel down, smile a little, laugh a little. it pays to take yourself a little less seriously.
(I try to,but hey I’m still a work in progress)

Tuesdays are Shoes days :Tracy’s Shoes :)
– Today’s shoesday features my friend and fellow blogger Tracy Hancock, she’s a great chick who is slightly off centre (that’s how I like my buds) and this is all about her shoes
1. You are:
I am a food- and fashion-loving 20 something that moved from Port Elizabeth to Johannesburg to broaden my horizon, over a year ago. I am also the creator of a tiny blog called ForgettingNeverland.
2. How many pairs of shoes do you own?
Um, haha, probably not as many as my friend Ella 😉 About 15 pairs, but I don’t wear them all and some should really be thrown away… haha, like my boots. I wear my shoes until there is nothing left of them. Some people talk about shoes that they have had for years… If I like a pair of shoes and they are comfy, I will wear them until I can wear them no more.
3. Why do you think a great pair of shoes has such an effect on women?
The right pair of shoes can change a woman’s mood instantly. If you want to feel sexy, slip into a pair of high heels. It adds height, making you look slimmer, and they make your calves look more toned than they really are. Shoes make or break an outfit. If you are wearing shoes that make you feel confident, it shows.
4. Which shoe are you still searching for?
I am currently searching for a good pair of boots to replace my rapidly deteriorating pair. You can’t live in Joburg and not own boots. It is freezing up here! A Rage just opened in the mall our office tower is in… hmmm walked past there the other day and swooned. Hopefully they have something that will steal my heart, come pay day that is. Broke already 🙁
5. Which shoe can’t you believe you actually wore?
Hmmm, that’s tricky because I pride myself on having good taste when it comes to shoes. Let us go back a few years to my primary school days… enter the jelly baby; a plastic healed sandal that came in multiple colours… including a translucent glitter version. Now there was an unflattering shoe. They were chunky and really nothing spectacular to look at. And because they were plastic, you can imagine how sweaty your feet got and the odour that accompanied that sweat. Haha
Number 1 – Shiny, shiny! What girl doesn’t need some sparkle in her life? I love the drama this shoe commands. Great for a night out.
Number 2 – I got this studded ankle boot on sale. What a bargain! I am obsessed with shoes that make a statement.
Number 3 – My sexy black snake-skin gladiator heels! These babies make me feel hot no matter what, look great on my foot, and they are super comfortable to dance in!
Number 4 – Two-toned 1950’s inspired heels. I have an immediate connection with anything vintage-inspired. They do, however, kill my feet after a while… but pain is beauty!
Number 5 – My new friends. I needed a hot wedge to add to my collection and I simply adore peep-toes. They are cheeky in a good way. 😉
