Howdy Cape Town. Thanks for having us. Your mountains are pretty and so are your streets, but damn your weather maker needs a talking to!

My friends Karenistic and Marina came with me to see and stay with our good friend Gina King in Cape Town this weekend that has just passed. We spent 4 glorious days with her pretty much eating as much bread as we could all possible fit into our faces. For some or other reason we were eating a lot of awesome delicious bread, bread between meals, before meals, after meals, it was like we were stocking up in case we got locked in a small cupboard or something – like there was any chance of that happening. But anyway it was so nice to be out and about with the girls. We went to so many cool places, saw so many friends, it was so awesome.

FRIENDS: I love you guys.

PLACES: Finally got to go to Field Office – nice sandwiches Willface. Lots of antique shops that were dotted all over the place. Church in town, have any of you been there? Wow what a special little place with special little things. We went to the new Blue Bird Garage market, that was sweet, it’s still pretty small, but it’ll get there. Michelle’s awesome exhibition, Kalk Bay, Vamp (obviously), Biscuit mill, Bird Cafe, lots of cool little shops and restaurants. Cape Town you have so many nice places to visit.

FOOD: Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeez we ate a crap load, I even got to eat boiled eggs and soldiers, haven’t had that masterpiece since I was a teen. When I came home all I could think about was getting into my stretchy pants and eating more lovely lovely bread. Last night I was even considering fashioning a loaf out of my bath soap I was craving it so much.

THINGS I WANTED, BUT MY CREDIT CARD SAID NO WAYS FAT FACE!

Oh man the ceramic teacup with the bird on the side made by Frauke Stegmann is my most favourite piece that I left behind. Balls. But I have these 2 teacups already, which I bought a while back, so don’t feel too sorry for me ha!

Friends are nice. These are some pictures I took of my friend Will. He is one of my best friends. I love friends, like I love lamp. Watched Anchorman again the other night – Oh how I laughed and wheezed and laughed.

These are my pretty friends Gina, Leigh and Candice. Hello girls. We took these photos in a booth at David Prior’s party in Cape Town. I really like all these pictures so I thought I would share them with you x xxx

I bought this silver nurse’s watch from an antique store for my friend Gina King’s birthday. She has always wanted one and when I spotted this bowed beauty I lunged arms spread out wide. It has a stamp on the back, but I can’t make it out. I love how the watch hangs upside down so that the person wearing it is the only one who can tell the time, very genius, like chocolate dipped in chocolate mmmm….genius….

clothes, FASHION

i choose you.

Seeing as Winter is slowly creeping in like a hungry wolf, I thought I would wear something floral-like today. So I chose this dress that I bought on my trip to Sweden a while back. It’s one of  my most favourite things that I acquired, this and the photo down below of me and my friends in a very tall building in Sweden. Anyway, a lot of you might not know this, but all my friends call me Pants because, well, I like wearing pants. yes. but every now and thenI  like to confuse the bejeezers out of them and wear a dress, yes. So today i’m wearing my Swedish dress and i’m having happy tea, not misery tea. So happy Thursday everyone x

these are some of my most favourite deer things – the first one is a wooden oval plaque with elk painted on it, i picked it up at the biscuit mill in cape town for 75 rond. i haven’t been to this market in forever, but next time i go i hope i find something as special. the brass deer belonged to my granny. they are super old and a bit funny looking, but i love them non the less. and the last thing is a polaroid of my dear friend gina king, who i miss a lot. she’s posing with my pet Simon. he guards our front door with his handsome brute face.
