Gift Girls Goodies

I have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of my parcel from Gift Girls ever since Janine from Being Brazen announced that I was the winner of their fabulous give away! I received this gorgeous purple flower ring as well as three cute pairs of earrings in varying shades of pinkish coral, all lovingly wrapped up in this pretty little blue box! How perfect is that shade of blue?! Gift Girls is based in Malta, so I felt super special to be receiving a parcel labelled Malta on the back of it. It felt like I was in my own version of “The Sisterhood of the travelling pants”, except this would be the sisterhood of the travelling...erm...accessories?!

This weekend I wore the ring and the pinkest of the pair of earrings, the boyf got the camera out and did his thing, and Le voila!



{How awesome is the detail on these leggings! I got them from Woolies!}

Do yourself a favour and go check out Being Brazen as well as the Gift Girls website and blog, you will not be disappointed, these ladies are absolutely fabulous and stylish!

Love, Me

Bird Brain

My ever growing fixation with the purdy little birdie’s began when I first clapped eyes on this adorable little yellow clutch on Etsy (number 1 in the collage). Since then it has sort of spiralled out of control into a full on obsession and has spread out into an obsession with bird cages and other birdie paraphernalia. If I were planning a wedding (*fingers crossed*), I would certainly incorporate birdie bits and pieces into the theme, there would be antique bird cages hanging from the trees, feathers in the centrepieces, and the gorgeous cupcake wrappers (number 3 in the collage), would no doubt make an appearance as well. A girl can always dream!

A world of Numzies

Imagine having a selection of dishes from the finest restaurants and chefs in your city, at your immediate disposal. You could have a starter from The Michelangelo, a main course from The Grace in Rosebank and a dessert at The Roots, well that's exactly what it was like when the boyf and I attended the Taste of Joburg food festival this weekend. Both of us being self proclaimed foodie’s, we were in pure foodie heaven! In actual fact we had more than one starter main and dessert, from various restaurants. The sample size of the dishes made it possible to taste an array of starters, mains and desserts before reaching full blown button popping status! I wore Jeans, which I regretted, I was so stuffed by the time I walked out of there I felt as though my pants would certainly split! Note to self, next time wear a dress with ample tummy expansion space. Here’s what I wore, saw and ate!

{Finally! The Aldo shoes that I bought on this weekend.}

{This has to be the most divine smoothie I have ever tasted, Pineapple, mint and Jasmine! I'm certainly going to attempt my own recreation of this one!}

{This is a sample of the well known Molecular Chocolate dessert from the Grace of Rosebank. Brace yourself for this description: Molecular chocolate and ricotta marshmallows with caramel and nougat sauce. Yumzies!}

{The Grace also had this divine chocolate tasting corner, where you could sample the best quality dark chocolate, I love the fact they come in cute little nibs}

We attended the evening session, and it was a wonderful alternative to just eating out at a Restaurant, I will definitely attend this event again!
