IN THE NAVY...

 This summer I'm loving navy blue EVERYTHING! I've completely fallen in love with this colour like a bolt from the blue! Here are a few of my favourite and random pieces...

 

**Heels (Mr. Price)**

**Pumps (Edgars)**

**Nail polish (Tip Top- nailchic at Clicks)**

**Earrings (Jewellery artist from Soweto)**

**Coffee Mug (HomeChoice)**

**Nautical Striped shirt (Vintage- Moms closet =]*)**

**Toiletry bag (Avroy Shlain)**

Schoolin Life...

T

he life of a student is said to be fast- paced, exciting, experimental... a time of self- discovery and facing life’s challenges, Yes, student life is all this and more; MORE stressful, depressing and sometimes lonelier than everyone would like to admit. As I sit and type this post (first hour of absolutely uninterrupted free time I’ve had in a long time) I can’t help but think of the inspiration behind this post, as a student living in a residence with 150 ladies, one would assume that my friends and I have plenty of quality time to spend gossiping over late night pizzas and chick flicks… WRONG! I have been back at res for approximately 51 days now, I can safely say I have only spent time, REAL girl time with my friends once! Yes, that’s right 1 out of 51- besides chatting on bbm, catching a quick coffee at the ‘cool people stairs’ on campus, or slipping in an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians at res I have literally had no contact with my girls, no meaningful conversations, no serious gossip sessions- nothing! This obviously needed my immediate attention so, I put it to my friends that we spend some quality time together and being the random spontaneous ladies we are we decided to stage a “How to look cute this winter” photo shoot …these were the results; gorgeous pics courtesy of our photographer, Mali.

Beautiful pics thanks to Zama, S’the and yours truly ;) and most importantly, the best two hours I’ve had in the past 51 days of this semester.

Winter Wonderland...

I think with the right trench and attitude we can all kick the cold to the curb... the hottest thing trending in S.A winter fashion at the moment is Army fashioned tayloring... big buttons paired with cool neutrals or screams of  'notice me' bright colours...

Breaking into the Makeup Biz!

So my cuz Thandi and I have hatched this amazing idea of launching into the makeup business and im having an awesome time just trying to kick start this little venture.

how did it all begin?...

Well a friend of mine had mentioned that I would do a horrible job as a hair stylist but would do a bang- up job as a makeup artist! I ran this past my best cuz as a joke and (at the risk of sounding clichéd) The rest is just history.

To test my makeup artistry skills we decided to get to work right away... for your Entertainment...
