Kling

31 Jan

I discovered a lovely store via Lucky Pony today (thanks!).  I am now coveting Kling!

Saved for later

25 Jan

I’ve been browsing ASOS (they’re on SALE) and there are just so many things I love.  I keep hitting the ‘save for later’ button.  I’m not too sure what later I’m saving for though, because although they do send to SA, the import duties on clothes are almost as much as the clothes themselves (and there’s not much chance of ASOS sending my goodies to me in an unmarked, ‘unsolicited gift’ box.

Oh well.

Here are some of my dream purchases:

Paying attention Santa?

These pretty hairdos make me jealous:

More spending online?

19 Dec

Yay for online shopping.  If I was in London, I’d be on here a lot:

I also recently discovered l’Emile et Son and the joys of buying wine from Wine Style and Norman Goodfellows.  Happy days!

Online spending bliss

15 Dec

I am a good shopper.  It’s something I do well.  Shopping online though takes my skill set to a whole new level, and feeds my introverted nature (agorophobia anyone?). 

Delighted doesn’t come close when I stumbled upon Meekel today.  Add to that Yuppie Chef and old faithful Amazon and I hardly ever have to leave the house!

Here are my favorites from Meekel:

Dirty thirties

14 Oct

Hello October. And that means that it’s almost November, my birthday month,  and since this year is the year I turn 30, I will be celebrating even more than the usual month-long festivities.

Anthropologie is one of my very favourite online destinations.  Birthday elf, go shopping!

Missibaba dreaming

11 Sep

I LOVE Missibaba.  Surely one of SA’s very best brands and designers.

P.S.

I stood up from backbends on Thursday and Friday BY MYSELF!  And I’m dropping back by myself too, but feel WAAAY less confident about that.  I cannot for the life of me control the mad panic I feel when I think of dropping back by myself, with no-one to help me land on my hands and not my head!  Some serious fear.  And today when I tried to stand up it just did not happen.  Whether it was because I was in my lounge without my teacher I don’t know, but for the life of me I couldn’t remember what the hell I was supposed to do and it went back to feeling like it has for the last 2 years - impossible and terribly hard!  Crap.

A Friday gift (besides that it’s Friday)

25 Aug

So what’s better than a Friday? 

Well.  A Friday when you’d been mentally preparing yourself for a mad day and then you find out that you have the entire morning free … to do loads of other shit.  But that’s not the point. 

 What it means for me is that I can yoga myself at a reasonable hour (read 6am) and then pack my car and carry things about in preparation for a pop-up shop at Aquaonline (all without excessive preplanning and lack of sleep).  Oh yes.

And today has seen me viciously swiping my credit card machine.  I love the sound of till slips printing.

Lessons this week ?

  • I’m actually pretty socially awkward without alcoholic lubrication
  • I’m 30 really soon
  • Eka pada shirshasana will be the end of me
  • It’s not that I’m old fashioned, but I really do like to be chased.  Use it don’t use it
  • I remain obsessed with ceramics

  • I like men.  Much.  And it becomes more obvious the longer I remain single …

  • South Africa has some seriously amazing jewelry designers.  Skermunkil is way up there.

  •  Spring is a tease.  But I see it over there.  Yes I do.  Hello balmy good humour and happy times.

Pretty please

22 Jul

Goodness. The loveliness is beyond my expectations.  Listen up mystical boyfriend … or those that are already planning my birthday presents … this is a solid hint :)

And that is incorrigible, I know. Tsk, tsk.

Buy the prettiness from Ida Elsje, Situ and Phillipa Green.
