Hello.Summer.

Hello Lovlies 

It's Summer you know what that means, late nights and early mornings. My best friend Natasha is coming down from the UK and we will be in Cape Town for a weekend in Jan, so looking forward to that. Otherwise my holiday plans are working, late night beach dips, braai's, sand boarding, road tripping with my boy and ice-cream and pigging out to my hearts content.

Happy Holidays. 

God Bless.

Impossible.Is.Nothing

Hello Lovlies 

His heart the symbol of hope and forgiveness, an Icon celebrated by the world. Being a South Africa and having had grown up in a country which despite it's grim history has stood united and keeps on emerging. 

Nelson Mandela has sadly left us, he dedicated his life in the fight for equality amongst all South Africans. My earliest memory of "uTata" as his affectionately known to South African's, we were asked to draw a portrait of some we looked up to , it could be anyone in art class, so i chose to do pencil sketch of Madiba. Having grown up with a very political father, who to did his bit to help alleviate discrimination in South Africa, I am often remind that the greatest victory is Peace.
I don't really have much to say as the whole world is currently mourning the death of on of the greatest human beings to ever walk this earth. I will write something I wish I could have said to uTataRholithlathla.

Molo Tata, I want to thank you for giving up most of your life in a time where the situation seemed hopeless, where you put your life on the line, even willing to sacrifice your own life so that we as a nation could be in the position that where we are today. The duty you have done for your Country has shaped the world and has opened the hearts of many people. You are an inspiration. Thank you for teaching the world that forgiveness if far better then revenge, and that if you really want something in life you must be prepared to make sacrifice and never losing hope even thou situations seem hopeless. 

Thank you for being a great leader , for inspiring generations and those to come. Rest in peace Tata, knowing that you have lived your life serving your people, and fulling your purpose and destiny. The angels and God await your return. 

Your courage, spirit and legacy will live on and your people will continue the fight for freedom as many are still oppressed in their minds. 

Lala ngoxolo Tata onkhulu, asicingi sikulibale, siyabulela ngemizamo yakhe ukude sibeLapa namthlanje. NdiyakuTanda Madiba. 

Enkosi. 

"No one is born hating , people are taught to hate and if people can be taught to hate, they can also be taught to love as love comes more naturally then hate" - Nelson Mandela

Hey Lovlies 

Wow It feels like a life time since I've really been on the blog which is really not a good thing, I love blogging don't have much time and my camera is not functioning. Apologize to all my readers world wide. 

This is just a quick update on my life and the happenings since the last time i blogged. Recently spent a weekend in Cape Town for my friends 25th Birthday party, and yes were getting that old. Sun, sand, sea and some of my best Friends all out at sea living it up. The best weekend of my life. I wore a white maxi dress from asos.com , my shoes were from Mr Price and the floral crop top also from Mr Price and my floral head band was borrowed from a friend.

I fell in love with Cape Town, the back drop of the mountain, the smell of the ocean the juxtaposition of the concrete jungle wrapped in an abundance of textured con-caved mountains. 

Beauty at it's finest, the theme was Greek Mythology so being the flower child that I am I decided to go as the goddess of nature. I had the best time ever and my friend Amanda the birthday girl is the best host ever. Amazing food, sparkling drinks, all my favourite people and twerking on a Yacht , what more could a girl ask for. 

Lesson for this week - Life is too short not to enjoy, make the most of every moment, live, love, dance smile and don't forget to always keep your head held high. 

Peace.Love. God

Hello Lovlies

My outfit post was taking at the beautiful Rhodes University during the Grahamstown Festival, me and Alex has so much and we were so exhausted. There was so much to do and so little time. My peak for the trip was Rodge Goode from 5fm who performed at Prime, the best party me and  Alex's we have ever jammed to in our lives. 

This was the best weekend ever for me as i was surrounded by Art, Music, Vintage and Food. My maxi dress was so functional its velvet if your wondering and its got a lot of stretch. So i could run to shows, walk up and down the hill and still jam the whole night through. 

Lesson for the weekend: Life is a journey, make a date and fly away 

Happy weekend. 

Peace.Love.God

Style.Icon: Lianne.La.Havas

Hello Lovlies

It's Friday whoop whoop! I can't get over how amazing Lianne's voice is, my friend kept on talking about her and when i sat down and finally heard her voice last year I was captivated she's so talented, and she can really perform and her presence is insane. 

Then i liked her facebook page, and was drawn in by her quirky, retro, vintage style. I secretly wish she was my sister so she could teach me how to play the guitar and we could totes share clothes. 

She's my style inspiration, she's bold, appears to be very comfortable in her skin and has fun with clothing, which is the most important thing. She comes across as being super confident, and she's not even a size zero. I love her versatility and her natural hair yey. She's also a Brit, and yoll know how much i love Britain. 

I hope your as inspired as I am. 

Lesson for this weekend : It matters not what you wear, It's how you carry yourself in what your wearing. 

Peace.Love.God

We.Got.The.Love

Love is as Beautiful as you have ever imagined it to be

Hallo :)

Wie gehts dir ? 

My attempt at Deutsche, I'm doing really well work is what i do most weeks I work for a publishing company in Bird Street, Port Elizabeth, South Africa. 

The pictures above are images from the National Arts Festival , ahhh the weather was bliss. G Town as it's casually know is so cold in winter, it even snows yes snows. This year sadly did not see any snow but the weather surprisingly was amazing, the middle of winter and i could still hop around town in a cute little velvet frock. 

The last time i did a post about my relationship status was just over 2 years ago, and 2 years later tee hee, I'm such a happy little girl. I was one of those girls post my break up who were on some I'm going to wait five years before i get into another relationship. 

He just happened, to me we met on the beach, i was walking with my friend and saw him, kept seeing him for the next month on the beach, then magically it all happened. Love is a beautiful thing when it's right, and when the love you give is the same love you receive. 

I'm blessed to share time with an incredible human being, a man, who is kind , loving , funny , smart and really hard working. Who goes HAM in church with me during praise and worship. Who never forgets to remind me to pray before we eat. 

It's the little things I guess that make a relationship beautiful, its not even about the time phrase its the two souls coming together and exploring love that God has gifted them. Being 25 years , you really start to change I've changed a lot from the past two years. 

I'm stronger , I'm wiser and more independent, and in control of my emotions and thoughts and actions. I'm beautiful the way God said it should be , I forgive more and i love cautiously. 

Most of my friends are either mothers , or due to walk down the isle. I won't compare myself or ask when will it happen for me, children are such blessings but also a lot of hard work and money and for now i could use that money to travel the world, stuff my face with macaroons and a girl can never have to many shoes right?  

Life is beautiful, it gets better with time i promise you. There are millions of people all over the world who are in pain, fighting to hold and and slowly losing grip. That was where i was last year, slowly losing grip, all i can say is don't give up on love, finding a job, finding peace , getting closer to God. Those are some of the issues i dealt with and God provided. 

His got so much more in store for me and I'm looking forward to that. Came across a really beautiful wedding video and while listening to the music, the life changing moment in the video was the vows that were said i have to share. 

Dear Future Husband : I will honor you as my spiritual head, I follow you as you follow Christ. 
I will cover you in prayer. I am reminded that every good and perfect gift comes from above, husband you are truly a gift and I  will spend the rest of my life treating you as such. I will be led by you as you have been led by Christ.

I'm stealing these for when one day , i get married and as long as it's according to Gods will, I'm in. 

Peace.Love.God

Hello Belle's 

Been a minute right ?

I recently started a new job about almost two weeks ago now, its great lot of work but nothing I can't manage. 

I Recently did a shoot with Miss Christine Visser you guys should be familiar with her we have worked together on a number of projects. She's super talented and can't wait to work with her again in the  future. Do check out her website here Christine Visser and like her Facebook page, merci in advance. 

The theme for the shoot was a city girl somewhere in Spain in the 1940's.  I'm obsessed with really anything vintage so we drew inspiration from a period in time. Central was the back drop and to think i actually work just down the road from where we did the shoot. Call it fate maybe. 

I did all the make up and styling was so much fun. 

Hope you guys are well , I promise I won't be a stranger for too long. 

Peace.Love.God
