New things to make me feel a little better.

April 16, 2012

For a while now Shane and I have been battling to get a bond for a flat that we found about a month ago, that we both fell in love with instantly. We have been going though such trauma with every single bank and SA Home Loans, they have all denied us twice and all because we are freelancers and because we own our businesses. We have tried everything to get this place and it’s been quite an emotional journey, which has now come to an end, leaving us without the flat of our dreams and all because we’re out here trying to make it for ourselves. Not sure of any of you have been through the same ordeal, if you have, you know that it is not awesome. It’s draining and frustrating and no matter what solution you come up with, it’s just not good enough. And we’re not even asking for that much, which is the worst part. If any of you have experienced this, all I can say is, I know how you feel….

So on Friday, after the last bank called us and denied the bond once again I decided to take myself to the shops and give some of my money to people who actually wanted it. I know this seems like a weird way to deal with something like this, but I just kind of thought, stuff it. So Shane got a bunch of cool stuff and I came home with these few pieces.

Found this pretty silk blouse with a print made out of leopard heads. I love the pattern and I love the little gold button detail on the collar. Thought it was such a nice touch. I found this guy at Zara.

Another thing I snagged was this grey jersey from Country Road that I have been eyeing out for quite some time now. It’s so comfy, I think it’s going to be one of my favourites this Winter.

I also brought home this paisley silk blouse, which also comes from Zara.

Shirt me up Scotty.

March 23, 2012

This is a shirt my mom wore when she was younger, I claimed it from her years ago and I still have it, I think it may even be older than I am – i’m not kidding when I say that. How great is the print? I wish my mom had managed to save a few more pieces of her clothing, but I think this may be the only one…

 

Speaking of shirts/blouses, I would very much like it if all of these kept the above shirt company in my cupboard. Now if only I could close my eyes and wish really hard for them all to appear, them and a giagantic sized bowl of chocolate pudding. Yes, that is what I would spend my 3rd wish on and no there is nothing wrong with that.

Zara in South Africa – It’s heeeereeeeee and it’s bought friends.

November 10, 2011

Last night I was lucky enough to go to the launch of the new Zara store and the new Mr Price concept store in the new section of Sandton City, which just by the way is really really impressive. They have really made an awesome effort to make it look, and I hate to use this word (urghh) international. You guys must take some time out to go have a look and of course to go spend some sweet cash.

Smile and wave boys, smile and wave.

Today I bought myself a Remote Shutter Release device, or what I like call a ‘clicky-thing’. Yip, I no longer have to self time any photo ever again. I’m the king of my own clicks now. No more waiting for the self-timing flashing light on my camera, counting me down to when IT says it’s photo time. No ways, now I make that decision all by myself and all I have to do is click and wave.

I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to discover that my camera actually has a plugin hole for this very device. I’m over the moon, in case my stupid face above hasn’t given that away already.

**Hey, I’m going to both the Zara and the Mr Price concept store (super excited for this) launches tonight, are any of you going to be there? If you are going and see me, please come say hi, i’ll even let you play with my ‘clicky-thing’.

Camel. Good.

March 17, 2011

Camel and black – love this colour combo. So so nice. Country Road has a whole section using these colours. I need to find a briefcase full of money. Does anyone know where to get one of those?
