There’s nothing better than the beachfront in Summer once the holiday season has come and gone. If you get there early enough there are no crowds and you can just enjoy the fresh air and being outdoors. I also love how Durban can be miserable and raining one day and the next it’s bright sunshine and heat you could easily do without.
It’s turned into a scorcher of a day today, so if you’re still on your way down to the beach, don’t forget the sunblock. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. x
Anyone who knows me, should have at least some inkling of my All Saints obsession. Seriously pricey but everything I could dream of. Their new Portraits of a Collection S/S 2013 features “real” people. They use the term real people pretty loosely as not only are they seriously successful in their chosen fields, they’re also some of the prettiest people I’ve seen in a while. In short, if they decided to give up their day jobs they could still live off a modelling career.
All Saints generally leans towards darker colours and natural fibres. Everything is always great quality and the attention to detail is what separates them from the other high street chains. I’d rather drop 10 grand on 5 items in All Saints than on a ton of stuff in another shop. Call me crazy but it must be love.
There’s no doubt that Mumford & Sons are part of the mainstream consciousness and there are a whole bunch of well known indie folk rock bands out there; Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, The Decemberists and Bon Iver to name a few.
I figured I’d share another two favourites of mine and spread the love.
If you have any plans for 2013/2014 best you change them!

Happy Sunday! The weather is rather miserable in Durban so we’re pretty much doing as little as possible today. Wherever you are, I hope you’re also having as much of a lazy day as we are. Enjoy the last few hours of the weekend.
