JT One Pop Up Shop

This summer JT One have opened a fantastic Pop Up Shop at the V & A Waterfront. I shopped up a storm on the launch night last week while hanging with all the usual hotties. We munched cake pops and puffs of candyfloss before raiding the photobooth for our #JTOne #BestieSelfies, it was such a charming girls night.

The shop is offering awesome 2 for 1 and 3 for 2 deals on bras and underwear so this won't be my first stop during the 3 months the store will be open. It's so afforadable, I can't even! They're also stocked up on cute sleepwear and poofy slippers just in time for Christmas so grab your bestie and check out the store. Sweet dreams are made of this!

Tiger of Sweden Opening

Last week I went to the V & A Waterfront for the opening of Cape Town's first Tiger Of Sweden store. It was a fantastic fashion reunion among chic threads, a live band and delicious drinks ending with an afterparty at Shimmy Beach Club. Events season is definitely in full swing. Tiger of Sweden is a Scandinavian brand that turned 100 this year and they offer classic menswear, stylish ladies garments and great jeans that Clouds Drummond told me she had to get her hands on. I am in love with their suits, makes me keen to dress my boyfriend up. A R25 000 voucher was given away in a lucky draw on the night, can you imagine that shopping spree? Ahh, dreams! Thanks to Brand Group for the launch, they sure know how to throw a party and their goodie bags are a treat.

Wearing colour

Took me about a decade, sheesh! This was before I left for my European trip, and was also taken a couple hours before stuffing my face with Neighbourhood's insanely amazing curly fries. So since I've been back I've been running errands, eating more curly fries, looking for a car and wearing impractical shoes in the cold weather. I bought a whole bunch of pastels while in the UK to add to my wardrobe. Can't wait to wear more colour, even if it is muted.

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.
