Another day over

Two more work days to go. Tonight I have some friends over for pizza and to help me do some packing. I'm grateful for their help! Most of my clothes won't be packed until Monday when the movers bring me wardrobe boxes but I still have to get stuff organized so the movers can just grab stuff and throw it in the truck.

Last night it snowed again. 10 cms. UGH. So much for spring. *sigh*

The snow made me want to dress comfortably.

Gotta run and get the doorbell. My pizza's here!

Navy Stripes

Striped Jumper-Trenery/Shorts-Mr.Price/Shoes-Converse/Bag-Givenchy/Bracelets-Mr.Price and Sass Diva/Earrings and Rings-Mr.Price
Lately I always seem to be opting for simplistic, comfortable outfits. This outfit is precisely that, the soft jumper makes for the perfect quick throw on item, yet it still manages to look cute with the navy stripes and soft cream tone. And denim shorts are definitely a staple in my closet- they are so versatile and I loved them paired with this jumper and converse shoes. I also adore how the navy colour of the jumper matches perfectly to the colour of my bag! 
I just love the nautical feel of this look! 


Have a great day everyone!!

Three days

Three more days. I have so much to do my head is spinning and as you can guess nothing every goes smoothly.

I got my haircut after work. My last with my super duper fabulous stylist who I am going to miss terribly. *sniff* You'll see it in tomorrow's photos.


Shirt: Spaksmannsspjarir in Reykjavik (last worn here)
Dress: Desigual (last worn here - over a year ago!)
Tights: Hue
Shoes: Fly London (last worn here)

Polka dotty! Pattern overload!

I think I'm going to have to include this dress in my upcoming "capsule wardrobe". I need to wear it more than once a year. GHA!  And spring is coming though we're supposed to get 15cm of snow tonight so who knows.


Who can't love a dress with a parrot on the bum. I know Sheila does. She last wore her Parrot dress on Megan Mae's birthday. It's a total party dress.

Gotta eat and pack. Thank goodness for good music to keep me moving.

Bomber Style Jacket

 Jacket-Mr.Price/Shoes-Zara/Bag- Celine/Necklace-Mr.Price
I fell in love with this jacket when I saw it, I adore the faux leather sleeves in comparison to the material, and the colours are fantastic too! I paired it with my new loafers (which I'm obsessed with) and this stunning neon coloured necklace. I must admit, I've gone a bit accessory mad lately, I can't seem to keep away from anything sparkly hehe:)


Have an amazing week everyone!!

New In: Stud Obsessed

Loafers- Zara 
I might be just a lot little stud obsessed :) I love how they can accessorize any outfit so easily, not to mention they just look...cool! I fell in love with these studded loafers from Zara when I was in Paris last year, and after searching high and low for my size- I came home empty handed and hugely disappointed! So imagine my excitement when I spotted them in the Joburg store, practically calling my name- they're just gorgeous! They're perfect for all seasons, and I can't wait to wear them with some oversized coats and bowler hats in winter! 
Boots-Cotton On
These boots reminded me so much of the ChloĆ© Susanna boots, I adore the straps and studs and the little heel is so sweet! 
 Boots-Topshop 
Okay so I might have gone a bit boot mad too, but I can't help myself when it comes to cute ankle boots, they're the perfect winter shoes! I love these Topshop ones, the stud detail is adorable!
 Polka Dot Jumper-Country Road
 Military Vest-Amber Jones for Mr.Price
This vest caught my eye as soon as I walked in the store, I love the military trend and this is the perfect piece to add to any closet! 
 Sweater-Mango
Graphic sweaters are definitely on my wish list for Autumn and Winter! I absolutely LOVE this one from Mango, it's stunning! 
 Camo Shirt-Mr.Price


Jewellery- Mr.Price

Have an amazing weekend everyone!!

Blue fly

Last night my friend came over and helped me pack up the items from my kitchen that I'll be moving. We finished in 1 hour. o_O  She used to move a lot in her life so she apparently retained the skills of efficient packing. We used ever inch of space in the boxes. She's offered to help me as much as she can. I wonder what she can do with my shoes.


Cardigan: Club Monaco (last worn here)
Top: Anthropologie (also last worn in the above link)
Skirt: Smoking Lily (last worn here)
Boots: from Las Vegas (last worn here)

I thought I had lost this blouse. I haven't seen it since I was in Ottawa in November or December. I found it yesterday when I was going through my clothes. YAY!




These tights look blue in this photo but they are really a bright teal. I thought they gave this outfit a bit more interest than wearing grey or black. 

I'm off work on Monday so only 4 more days of photos in front of these doors!

And your telephone's been ringing while you're dancing in the rain

Today I went out for lunch with two women with whom I work. Walking through the mall, I was definitely the most colourful person in this bright orange dress. I'm trying very hard to believe spring is coming.


I bought this strapless dress from Anthropologie.com a few months ago, in the dead of winter. I've wanted to wear it so I took a cue from Sheila and wore a blouse underneath

Blouse: Vero Moda (last worn here)
Dress: Anthropologie.com
Shoes: Desigual (last worn here)


I tried on 4 pairs of shoes this morning before deciding to wear these ones. Good choice?

The dress came with a blue tie for the waist so blue shoes would also be a good choice.

I think this actually works! I'd wear this again. Not sure when since most of my wardrobe is going into storage until I find a place to live in Toronto. How will I survive living out of two suitcases for 4-6 weeks?








I bought this pin from Vitamin G before I bought the dress. It was kismet!
