Weekend Wedding Wear

By on May 30, 2011 in Fashion, What I Wore

This last weekend we headed down the South Coast for a friend’s wedding.I had visions of a beautiful, warm Winter’s day but those were clearly pipe dreams because it was freezing. I had to keep my coat on the entire time and my legs were a nice shade of blue. As nobody down there really got to see my dress I thought I’d share it with you.

I’ve had the coat for the last year and a half and this is the first time I’ve worn it. Can’t think why I didn’t before!

Dress: Forever New
Coat: ASOS
Bracelets: Woolworths

The Space – Gateway

By on May 27, 2011 in Out and About

I popped into The Space for a wee while tonight. I was pretty much on a mission to find specific items of clothing so I didn’t take much time to browse the racks but I did manage to take a few sneaky snaps with my phone. Their random decor items and notebooks were amazing as always. The first one in the top pic sums me up perfectly and I think those globes would make a fantastic corner hanging arrangement.

Best find of the night though had to be this book entitled “How to Live with a Huge Penis.”

The Gateway branch will be moving from it’s current location to a new store next to Cinema Noveau. I can only expect bigger and better things to come.

It’s really worth checking out all their stores as each store interior is uniquely designed by Greg and Roche Dry of Egg Designs.

For more info on The Space take a look at their website or follow them on facebook or twitter.

Con Amore Blogger Evening

By on May 27, 2011 in Lifestyle, Out and About

Con Amore, La Lucia. I’ve heard about it, seen the website and now I’ve finally been there. When Ché from Portfolio blogged about the store recently and told me how beautiful all their bits and bobs were I knew I had to go. Luckily for me, it didn’t take long. Last night they hosted a bloggers evening where they plied us with yummy champagne, cupcakes, macaroons and sushi.

Con Amore is everything I thought it would be. Gorgeous furniture, stunning homeware and plenty of small decor items to keep me happy. Unfortunately my flat is tiny so all the lovely stuff I laid my eyes on will just have to stay in the store for now. I particularly like their soft furnishings, the metal skull and the to-die-for Chesterfield couch.

They are due to have a sample sale very soon so check back soon for all the details.

On another note, it was really great to finally meet some of the people I’ve been tweeting and whose blogs I’ve been reading.

Thank you Con Amore for a fab evening and the lovely gift.

Forever New! How I Hate Loving You!

By on May 25, 2011 in Fashion

I love Forever New! Their clothing is beautiful, well-made and always on trend. The only thing I don’t like are the prices. Paying over R1000 for a mass-produced dress seems a bit much for me. There is also nothing worse than breaking the bank for an outfit only to find someone is wearing exactly the same thing as you. Saying that though I was browsing their latest collection and I am in lust for the blue and white striped silk dress. As in I MUST have it! Therefore I will be heading to Gateway on Friday night to see if it is in stock.

That’s right folks, even sitting at home, I find ways to spend money. If I was an Eskimo and I met an ice salesman in the Arctic I’d probably buy a bag or two.
