The Mill…in Joziland!

parms — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 12:39:06 +0000

There I was paging through the latest issue of House and Garden and bam I stumble upon this article which literally made me shout out loud “WHAT!”

The guys who brought us (more CT people) the NeighbourGoods Market 5 years ago in Cape Town which as we all know, is now the most popular place to see and be seen on Saturday mornings in CT. The NeighbourGoods Market is coming to Jozi and I myself cannot wait!!It’s due to launch in April at 73 Juta street in Braamfontein (very fitting considering the buzz around this area lately). I’m so ready to spend my Saturday mornings stuffing my face and shopping away!

ABOUT TIME I SAY!

How crazy cool is it framing your own creations like this! These beautiful macaroons were created by pastry chef Pierre Herme and the pics decorate his wall in his home.

Bday Goodies!

parms — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 14:29:07 +0000

So ’twas my bday last weekend and surprisingly it turned out to be quite awesome! (when your expectations are low, you tend to be nicely surprised). Anywho had an awesome lunch at the Bird Cage….good food, nice meaningful conversations with friends, beautiful day out AND pressies…what more can you ask for! These are my fav gifts I received!

My friend Dipalesa went to Spain Madrid recently and bought me this satchel goodie! I love how it’s so authentic you can literally smell the skin!

I need not re-iterate my lust for anything Country Road so this set of cutlery made my heart dance..too precious!

I love the message in a box packaging! Thanx Milli!

Orchard! What more can I say, I can take hundreds of those any day, for each string of my heart!

I have never been one to keep cheesy bday cards but this one is too precious..I mean, I die!

Re-Introductions

parms — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 13:27:54 +0000

Wow it feels weird, filling up this hungry baby once again! I went AWOL, and for a reason! I hit a point where I felt totally uninspired which affected the way I perceive things around me, especially when it comes to fashion. So much changed post my trip from New York. In fact come to think of it, I didn’t realise it but subconsciously I think something in me changed when I travelled overseas, ALONE! Sounds cheese curls, I know but true. For a period I found fashion to be totally uninspiring and so monotonous and the biggest thing for me was I found no value-adding factor to it (I apologise to the fashionistas If I’m offending anyone).

So I decided on taking a new path this year but still in the design sphere because that’s what I realised about myself, I love beauty and design in any form. Whether it be a certain way a tree is carved or my blooming Lilly’s or an amazing pair of Rag and Bone Loafers..it’s all beauty. I’ve come to grow an interest for Interior Decorating so I’m studying that part-time and it’s amazing! For now, I think that’s where my passion lies because for me the beauty of one’s environment whether it’s your home, your working space etc. has a deeper impact on your being than you think! I absolutely love coming home to my fresh flowers and my living room gives me a sense of relaxation no matter what mood I’m in!

Anywho blah blah. My point is, I’ve decided to use this blog now as a space to share my passions in any shape or form and hopefully the inspiration sticks with me this time. This is now my diary and no longer a space to achieve something!

Hello World!

Designer Pop Up Store

parms — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 09:38:02 +0000

I think this was such a brilliant idea! One of those, you don’t know why it was never done before! But anyway, the Designer Pop store in Sandton City this past weekend featured all the designers from SA Fashion Week, each with their stall selling their latest ranges..TO THE PUBLIC AT LARGE!I think this is the most important thing for me, the exposure to the ordinary folk on the street because Sandton City is a shopping hub for most people (love it or hate it).

Anyway, well done to the brains behind it, this will certainly help SA designers in putting their brands out there, I hope they were very aggresive in their marketing!

One Piece Moment!

parms — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 13:45:27 +0000

I’ve grown tired of jumpsuits (except for the ones Kourtney Kardashian rocks)! Or maybe it’s the harem ones that I’m totally over..anyways moral is, when I saw this one at TopShop I was so sceptical because on any given day, I wouldn’t dream of even trying on a jumpsuit but I fell in love with this one and I guess it fell in love with me too bcz the fit is perfect and I rocked it at a recent engagement party.

Pre-Pulchritude Sale

parms — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 13:15:59 +0000

Yet another successful instalment! great laughs were had. These pre-sales are slowly becoming somewhat of a book club(I’m sure it’s the champers)!

XOXO

One of the things I was looking forward to was my On Location Gossip Girl Tour but unfortunately it did not happen because they printed the wrong time on the guide-book and so I missed it! But nonetheless I managed to visit the Upper East Side and the moment you step foot onto this side of the world, you not only see the difference, but smell the difference! I kept looking around for Chuck Bass, lol! Every apartment building has a door man in full uniform and the architecture of the apartment buildings looks like something out of Roman times! Old buildings that are so well maintained!

Hello Victoria Secret!

parms — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 12:48:17 +0000

I must admit, I’m not much of an underwear person, to me it’s one of those things I buy because it’s a necessity. BUT I tell you, when I walked into Victoria Secret, I was converted forever! There’s nothing like it; the quality, the sexiness. I bought the sexiest one piece pyjama thingy (I don’t even know what to call it)!

Love the shopping bag you use around the store!
