MBFW: Cape Town

There are a lot of things I love about living in Grahamstown, a lot. But there are a few things I dislike as well, for instance, missing out on Fashion Week in Cape Town. Look, reality is even if I was living in Cape Town I don't have the social clout to get a ticket (well not yet, anyway!) BUT I would definitely gatecrash. I'm really good at gatecrashing.

Thanks to the team at a fashion friend I was able to take a look at what happened at various shows. The pictures are beautiful so they have kind of reduced my jealousy and depression, or they've increased it - depending on how you look at it.

A Little Joy

No, I'm lying. A lot  of joy - copious amounts in fact.

Food For Thought

Friday Jam x Settle Down

Kimbra - "Settle Down" (Live at Sing Sing Studios) from Forum5 Recordings on Vimeo.

I am so obsessed with this song right now, I can't tell you how many times I've played it this week alone. Kimbra also has hectic dance moves - I will no longer underestimate the funky dance ability of New Zealanders.

A 21st

completely aware that someone's trying to take a picture of me, I try to hide my face 'on a sly'. 

Who came up with the idea of celebrating birthdays? Celebrating the beginning of a brand new life, a new being, a new mind into the world? I don't know. But we must give them thanks because it is due to them that, when the twenty first birthday of a close friend arrives we are able to wipe the dust off the six inch heels we never wear, iron the prostitute-like black mini dress our mothers don't know we own and apply that ruby red lipstick we never thought would see the light of day, or the artificial light of night. I did all this a month ago, all in celebration of a dear friend's coming of age - a friend who gets my very weird, very wacky ways.

She is the girl who seems to be taking a picture of you in the last photo.

This girl is epic, and so was her birthday dinner...and the party afterwards.
