Winter Trend 2013 | The Beanie


Beanies have been around for very a long time, but it's only recently that the head piece has become an actual trend around the world.  I like the fact that you can play around with the different colours & textures and you'd still be following the latest trend at the end of the day. 
 
With so much different styles, textures and colours to choose from, I look forward to another playful, stylish and warmly dressed South African Winter ahead.
 
Below are some of my favourite beanies I've seen around town.
 
 
with that said...
I Hope you have a fantastic weekend.
 
Peace & Love

Justin Bieber | Cape Town

 
 
 
 
Earlier this week,  Cape Town came to a complete standstill for teenage girls, when news hit that Youtube Sensation, 'Justin Bieber' finally arrived in our City.  A few hours after landing (on the 7th) pictures hit the net of the 19 year old 'boyfriend' singer getting some grub at our local McDonald's in Greenpoint on a bicycle, with the entourage obviously.  Infact, Right under the noses of his ultimate bieliebers, who were already queueing in line at the Cape Town stadium meanwhile Bonjovi played inside. (you can only imagine how that went down).  Besides the total chaos and traffic the biebs brought to our city,  I am happy for each and every JB fan who got to witness, what most of them thought was "A dream come true" and non stop entertainment from start to finish.  Unfortunately I did not attend as I am not much of a bieber fan but would've loved to witness history and a once in a lifetime opportunity play out right in front of my eyes.  However, I did manage to source some amazing pictures of the Concert to cure my FOMO which I happily added below along with some tweets from Justin and his team.
 
Justin has been staying at the 'One and Only' hotel at the VandA waterfront and has actually been staying longer than expected, making the CT bieliebers even more un-easy knowing they're "breathing the same air as justin".
 
I think he might be enjoying chilled Cape Town more than we think because we don't really have paparazzi like other places do, even making him feel comfortable enough to tweet "gonna go on a walk" ( brave guy)

Enjoy the photographs and have an amazing weekend!

Traffic Clothing Fashion show | Event

 
 
Last week Monday, I was invited to attend the Traffic Live Clothing Fashion Show, held at the oh-so stunning Shimmy Beach Club close to the V and A waterfront.  I Arrived at the event a bit early, so I got to watch a gorgeous Cape Townian sunset as well as spot local boats pass by all on my lonesome.  After a few laps around the empty but spiffed up venue, doors were opened and guests started filling the lounge and outside area with laughter, photo snaps and dressed to the tee.  photographers, bloggers, printed media and even the Expresso show crew were present as well as the gorgeous Liezel Van Der Westhuizen and Elana Afrika.  The music started vibing and sushi and pizza were served to all in attendance.  Unfortunately for me, Some non VIP guests started sitting on reserved seating including mine causing nothing but total chaos.  Lucky enough I was then placed in the Photography booth at the tip of the runway shortly after the miss-hap where I had an even better view  (Thanks Katie).  After a well styled, fashion filled runway show, I hung out with blogger Yumna from Cooked culture and her hubby for some photoboothing and to circulate the vibrant event one last time before calling it a night.
 
Do enjoy my bad photographs once again guys haha!
