Brights

It's like winter all over again in Cape Town, it's been rainy and cold today. I can't wait for summer to come, I'm especially excited for all the summer fashion. Today I'm so inspired by all the bright colours to brighten up this gloomy weather.  

Have a great rest of the week!!!

Friendship Bracelets

The world of bloggers has given a new meaning to the word BFF in the form of new trendy friendship bracelets. I have seen these friendship bracelets worn by some of my favourite bloggers. One of those is the blog Honestly WTF, as part of DIY. Making it possible to make your own in a few easy steps. I will try to attempt this as my next DIY  project.

Stars and Stripes

I can't believe that we are half way through the year already, time is flying by so fast. I'm so thankful , I had a great 2011 so far and excited for the rest of the year. I'm looking forward to the weekend and it's 4th of July weekend as well which means an extra day off.

I must say that Americans really put a lot into holidays, walking around in the stores you know what holiday it is, you cant miss the stars, stripes, red, white and blue everywhere. From ideas for the barbecue, party decor to what what to wear and of course 4th of July sales everywhere. Since it's my second year to celebrate 4th of July I'm hoping to see some sort of 4th of July parade and see more fireworks. Have a great weekend!!!

Style Inspiration - Pleats

I love these pleated maxi skirts, I've seen some of my favourite blogger wear them. I like that it's  made of chiffon so it just flows on the body and easy to wear.

From Paris with love...

I have just been watching reruns of the Gossip Girl episodes shot in Paris and I want to go there. Paris has always been one of the places on my list to see, I'm so fascinated by the language, culture, people, the Eiffel Tower and of course Paris is one of the fashion capitals of the world.

 Now that  I have a friend there, Dougna (I miss you!!!). I have an even bigger reason to visit, I hope it will be soon.

Sunset

The past few days the weather has just been so gloomy and cold, so I just wanted to be reminded of the nice sunshine that should be here and the Californian summer I'm looking forward too. These pictures were taken at Lake Merritt in Oakland on one of those lazy Sunday afternoons. I can't wait..

California Dream

I don't know why but for the past few weeks I have been really homesick, the funny thing is I was really surprised that I managed to stay here in California for more than a year already without wanting to go home. I think maybe it's  because I will be back in South Africa in soon so I'm missing my family more.

I know being able to live in California of all place was the last thing I has ever thought I would be able to, so I decided to think of all the things that I love about being in California and that I will miss.

All the wonderful friends are made here from France, Brazil, Sweden, Argentina , Germany, Denmark, Norway and of course USA and South Africa( I hope I didn't leave out anybody). I hope I will be able to visit them all. The stores I come to love, the places I visited,  San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge, yummy chocolates and Starbucks!!!

Sail away

Red, navy and stripes... Nautical is the aim of the day, this trend has been coming back season after season. I love that it's easy to wear and you can match it with so many other pieces of clothing. ( I created these storyboards on Polyvore, which I love at the moment )
