If you’re in Toti in September make sure you pop into the Galleria. Some of my favourite I Heart Marketeers and other fantastic brands are having a month long pop-up shop. It’s gonna be a good one guys so don’t miss it.

After yesterday’s seriously hot weather I was really happy to wake up to something approximating normality today. As there was a big Triathlon down at the beach we headed inland to Kloof for some lunch and a wander around Makaranga Garden Lodge. They serve seriously delicious pizza, so definitely order yourself some if you visit. As a side note, if you’re going to lark about in fallen leaves and flowers, be prepared to itch until you get home.
This is just a quick snap I took before a meeting at Bosch Hoek this morning. It was so misty, I’m frankly amazed I managed to pull back this much detail.
I’m a massive fan of Allsaints. Their fabrics are amazing and of such high quality that it would be worth paying their hella high prices even if their designs weren’t so beautiful. I’m a sucker for leather and Allsaints has it in abundance. Jackets, shoes, dresses, trousers. You name it, they probably have it. They also use a lot of hand-dyed italian silk, massive amounts of intricate beadwork and other gorgeous natural fabrics. If you live in England, it’s a double edged sword because while you have all of this available to you, it’s gonna suck your bank account dry. If you’re going on holiday then I say, stop by a store and invest in something right now.
I was also rather taken with their in-store décor. Each one is unique but there is a common theme running through the entire chain. The Regent Street store has made great use of subway tiles, wood flooring and other natural materials while the one in bath has used just about every Singer sewing machine still left in England. I can’t wait to get back there in September and get my shop on.
If you’re looking for guys clothing, take a look at their Men’s collection.
How cute is Ethan? He belongs to my cousin-in-law and for some reason he actually likes to listen to me when I ask him to do certain things. Never had that before. I think it’s mostly so he can see the pictures of himself immediately on the camera screen. I don’t normally watermark my images but I definitely don’t want these being used by randoms all over the internet.
