Cool finds..

As an added bonus when visiting the countryside apart from the fresh-air, and very laid back way of existence you can very often find some cool things to buy at a surprisingly low price. I bought this sewing machine foe a number of reasons the main one was that it only cost me R50.00, and secondly i really liked the color of it..




Another cool thing is this amazing book called Empire Annual for Boys with a birthday inscription which dates form 1912, i have to admit i didn't buy this one it was a gift from my Grandmother..




And as proof here is the inscription, just having this book kinda makes me feel super
special..

When In Rome..

So everybody always says when you visit a place always go and meet the locals so please find attached a local friend i made. Her name is Bella she is a miniature goat living on the farm.

Holiday vibes..

So i have taken a much needed brake from everything that im so use to, this includes the following friends, fast internet, being able to call a taxi, walking to get coffee in the mornings and last but not least waking up at 6:30 on saturdays and dragging myself to the market. At first i thought "this is gonna be great, fresh air no disturbance" well what i realized is that im getting kinda bored.

So to cancel out the boredom i went against my only holiday rule of not checking mail no matter what, and after going through loads of unread emails i came across something that i am definitely gonna work on the instant i get back to CT. These guys are just up the road from the market and would also like to join our little designer tent.





So take a look and see for yourself, i thought it was pretty cool and i really love the swing ticket design.. http://www.kottonree.org/
Ther are some things that i would like to my ever growing wardrobe too..






So watch this space.

night market photos....a little bit late but still nice....

Hip City Guide

ELLE JULY 2010

So i never really buy the ELLE magazine not because i don't like the magazine but i get to read it at team Elle's apartment where some elle insiders reside
but i took one look at the cover and i was convinced, so i paged through and saw some very handy shopping tips obviously not applicable to me but none the less. In the STYLE FOR LESS on page 76-85 i found KATE&Allie brogues and a printed dress form I Love Leroy, that definitely hits the spot and made me feel warm and fuzzy as they are one of the traders in the Designgoods Section.




If you do not have the ELLE July yet go out and get not only for the fashion but you also get a little black book the HipCity guide to help you navigate around Cape Town, Jo'burg, Pretoria and Durban hot spots like a pro.
