Call It Spring Launch

Last Wednesday I attended the Call It Spring launch. There's about seven new standalone stores all over South Africa and the latest is at the V & A Waterfront right next to the hotly anticipated Topshop. It's a Canadian brand and the latest collection has a rock n roll festival vibe featuring studded bags and sexy accessories fit for any road trip or Coachella weekend. I find the prices pretty reasonable (not much more than Zoom) so I bought a pair of shoes and two pairs of earrings on the night - I can't get enough of crosses, it's officially a problem. Anyway I wore the heels last weekend and found them very comfortable.

The launch had the cutest theme with fun finger foods including everything from popcorn to hot dogs. Adrian Culhane gave a great live performance; several guests commented that they kept thinking it was a cd because it was so polished. I even asked him about a song, thinking he was covering a popular indie track, turned out it was his original material so I need to get my hands on that. The Glam Cam photobooth was such a great addition with prints shooting out as soon as the pics were snapped. I had so much fun pretending to be some jilted songstress and hanging with all the girls. Check out the photos below or more on Facebook. Are you gonna swing by the store? If you do, go after today so you can hit up Topshop too!

Anomali Jewellery

Last month I had the pleasure of visiting the Anomali studio. So here's the deal, Moniek and Marlet met while studying at Stellenbosch and established this delightful brand where they create precious jewellery pieces out of anything that they can find; spoons, trophies...you name it. The pieces are so beautifully intricate and they're all made by hand. Can you imagine the skill and time involved in producing just one item? The girls actually let us try our luck with sawing which I found really addictive, I had such a fun day hanging out. Check out all of the beautiful photos after the jump! More photos can be found on Facebook.

Light up

Photos by Bryn De Kocks

These photos were taken at the Waterfront a little while ago. Carousels are so pretty. I love the vintage look of them and the twinkling lights dotted all around; like an ornate music box come to life. So in between plans, emails and phone calls I've been doing a little more online shopping. I ordered a bunch of fashion books at about 3am after finishing a novel and now I've been tempted yet again after checking out cartilage earring studs from Fresh Trends. I'm loving different sorts of accessories lately. I'm finally going to get some free time so I'm looking forward to geeking out and I'll be sharing new Puma and Gap events with you guys soon.

I'm starting to put a priority on finding ways to relax and really appreciating things, making time to ride the proverbial carousel. I think stress and daily routines really change the way we view our surroundings. It's so pervasive that it's difficult to see it as a problem and make a concerted effort to focus on life's beautiful moments or experiences. Whenever I feel at ease, my perceptions change and things that used to upset me no longer do. It's really liberating so I'm trying to find a complete sense of calm as a foundation but life is funny...the more you chase things, the more it seems to elude you, it's kind of amusing.

Being completely honest with oneself is difficult because we all have changes we're dying to make which aren't as easy as flipping a switch. I want to switch my lights on, no more dimming, time to focus on me. I think we all need to turn around once in a while and ask, am I being true to myself or am I putting myself second? It's a classic mistake, a very easy trap to fall into. So do you! Show some self-love and have a great weekend everyone.

Confetti Crosses and Punk Pancakes

I'm in love with these giant cross earrings from Tokyolux, they're the perfect size and look killer with everything. I love getting things in the mail and more so when there's a confetti explosion to come with it. My cross obsession has gotten a bit out of control, I've even started twitpicing my friends' cross accessories.

Tomorrow is a busy day full of appointments and on Friday (Friday, getting down on Friday) I leave for Joburg Fashion Week. I'm so excited, I'm going to be blogging like crazy covering the shows and then afterwards I'm taking a break at Sun City. I've been going for years and it makes me all nostalgic, you talk to people and almost everybody has been at least once. I'm pretty excited to stay at The Palace, never been, they're giving us some free nights with breakfast included so I'm gonna definitely wake up early for that! Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day but I never eat it, I need to find some 24 hour breakfast places. Harries Pancakes is amazing for pancakes whenever, I went last week. I gotta sync my Ipod and pack some books, flying freaks me out!
