Dulce Candy, Animal print & Colour blocking

 This look was inspired by Dulce from Dulce Candy in This Post 

I was trying to colour block but was too scared to look looney so opted for only 2 contrasting colours. Will be venturing into the more daring side of life and make it 3 next time.

 First animal print item in my wardrobe. Ever.

Welcome to the family.

My Trip to SA: Part III { GRADUATION!! }

On Saturday February 11, 2012, I graduated.

:) :) :)

I was lucky to have my family with me in SA for this special day.

Here's my photo diary of this amazing day starting from the morning of my graduation..

My hat + the wind = not the most ideal situation!

 

I feel so blessed to have been able to start and complete this journey. I definitely don't take it for granted and I'm so grateful to my parents for taking me through uni and of course to God for seeing me through those 3 loooong years!

I'll never forget this day. 

My Trip to SA: Part II { The Goodies:) }

Nothing featured in this post cost more than R150. Bargain shopping anyone? 

I sort of had an idea of the stuff I wanted so I made sure I stuck to a very strictly-cheap budget to try and get everything! Under each photo, I'll list the store I got the item from and its price starting from left-right/top-bottom. Hope that didn't confuse you!

 One was free though!

I made sure I looked out for great deals for all my purchases! Really happy with my haul - particularly since it was affordable and pretty good stuff too. At least I think so.. 

So if you're in SA (or planning on visiting) and are looking for some good deals, this post is for you!

p.s.: I threw out the tags so some of the prices may not be quite accurate because I was working from memory.

p.p.s: Hope you had a great Valentines Day :)

My Trip to SA: Part I

So I totally loved it all.

I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Starting from the morning of our departure...

{love a good sense of humour!}

{my mum hates these sunglasses. and yet she looks so cool in them}

Man I'd missed you all! 1 week was way too long. 

Happy Tuesday beautiful people.

OFF TO SOUTH AFRICA!!!

I'm beyond excited about this trip!! I went to uni in SA and I'm finally graduating this Saturday!! 3 long years I tell you. But I'm glad my parents, friends and God saw me through those years..

Our flight leaves in about 4.5hrs! I'll be away for a week and probably won't be blogging till I get back.. Can't wait to share this amazing trip with you!! 

Till then, stay cool.

My Little Gems

Meet my friends.

Mondy, Wanzuu and Moi

 We went to Mondy's little park, otherwise known to most as a backyard, for a picnic! 

Mmmm Nandos lemon and herb chicken anyone? 

 I got a little obsessed with Mondy's head scarf which she tied into a bow. 

Hells yeah I'm going to copy this look

 My two little gems.

 During our frantic, trigger-happy, photo session, Wanzuu shouts out to me: "umm, you might wanna do something about those ashy knees of yours"

Embarrassing much?? Thank goodness I hadn't gone around town with those babies out!

 True friends help moisturise your ashy knees.

I fell in love with Wanzuu all over again.

I was joking when I asked her to oil them but she went right into it!!

Love her.

 See, I told you Mondy has her own little park.

 I loooove playing games with friends so when Mondy pulled this out, my heart did a couple somersaults. 

 Moi

 Wanzuu

 Mondy

The lush locks

Let's play spot Mondy.

I had a BLAST this Saturday meeting up with my girls - they had been in Mauritius for about 6 weeks. 6 empty weeks I tell ya. 

We tend to prefer doing fun, laid back things when we meet up. Like oiling ashy knees and hiding in gardens.

Love these two!

What do you and your girls (or boys) usually get up to?
