My Style

Here are some of my "i want that" favourites of the moment. I've always been a "lover" of underwear as outerwear, but only with pretty, lacey slips like these ones. They look fabulous when layered with a plain, white, cream or pale coloured slip and is very sexy for summer. I usually wore it with strappy, flat sandals or flat pumps. Add to that, a pretty cardigan and voila! 

1. gorgeous lacey slip from Top Shop
2. chiffon and lace slip from Top Shop
3. printed scarf from not on the high street
4. floral slip from Top Shop
5. sexy halter dress from pip-squeak chapeau etc.
6. "gotta have this" embroidered bag from hardtofind
7. stripey pants from Top Shop
8. vintage style slip from Top Shop
9. fabulous black midi slip from Top Shop
10. cotton dress "must have" from pip-squeak chapeau etc.

Happy day!

Dottie stuff

How can this be? I was just too late!! One Of my favourite of favourites on Etsy and the world of Vintage and blogging had  a handful of dresses going on sale on Etsy and they sold out in just a couple of days! Nooooo!!!

Dottie Angel   have been my muse since I "discovered" her a couple of years ago and when I saw that she has her trademark, gorgeous, vintage inspired frocks on Etsy, it was just a tad too late. Now I have to wait until "fall" which is our Spring and keep my eyes peeled on her Facebook page and Etsy shop to make sure I'm a "happy chappie" this coming summer, in my "dottie frock".

Here's a peek at her creations.....

Dare I say that it would make me a happy chappie indeed to see ALL of these in the wardrobe that I call mine? Sigh! Oh, yes! Very happy indeed!

Happy weekend folks!

Winter warmers

With winter upon us, it's not a bad idea to invest in a good pair of handmade wool-lined boots to keep your toes warm during the cold months.  I saw these at a local market the other day and I fell in love....(sigh!) Gurmuki boots are handmade in Cape Town, South Africa with locally sourced materials. There are more products in their line, like laptop/tablet carriers and beautiful summer sandals (for the lucky ones up north who are going into warmer weather now). Sonja Nell, founder, designer and owner of Gurmuki is very passionate about her products and when you slip on a pair of Gurmuki's you'll know why. They are comfortable, warm and funky enough to fit any style or taste.

Here's a peek at a few of their items....

For more info visit the web page here or their Facebook page here. I can't think of a better investment for winter-warm boots than these!

Happy week!

BODIE and FOU

I found this online boutique and sat for ages, drooling over all the cool stuff they have on offer. You can follow their blog here or you can head on over to the online shop and shop till you drop. Run by two French sisters, I am not surprised - totally in awe of their eye for detail and the quality products they have for sale.
A bonus for us in the southern hemisphere is that they ship all around the World!! Yeah!!! I think I might just blow my budget completely here.....





I want that bed linen, I want that lovely distressed wood wallpaper and I saw gorgeous white pendant lights that I want soooo bad..... Sigh!!

HEROINE

HEROINE is the label of the very talented young Cape Town designer Danielle Hartman. She was chosen as one of eight finalists for the Elle/Mr Price New Talent Designer Search competition.

Here are a few of her creations for the competition. I can see great things happening for this girl in the future; women fighting over the last Heroine outfit on the rail.... (smile...) The beautiful Delft-inspired prints are gorgeous and just to die for, I want that skirt, so badly!!! And the white, pleated dress with the leather cut-out detail.......me, me, me!!! (My son likes the white dress too..hehe)
