Review | Stardust-the theatrical dining experience
Hello Everyone
I'm pretty sure the "Happy New Year" ship has sailed a while ago, but I do need to wish you all the very best for the year ahead and thank you at the same time for all the support you have shown us in the last year. Every year we learn something new, fail at a few things maybe but then eventually grow a little bit after each experience good or bad. All in all I couldn't be happier with where things are headed for us here at OFS. So make this one count, bet on yourself, take a risk and good luck with your future endeavours.
Late last year, My friends and I thought it would be fun to have our own little "year end function" as I did not even get one of those from my day job (gotta keep it moving I guess). We decided to try something completely different and made a booking at the theatrical dining restaurant 'Stardust' in Cape Town.
On arrival, I wasn't really sure what the night held for us, so we ordered appetizers and chowed each others ears off until the lights went out and our waitress, who was just taking our order, was up on stage doing a Whitney Houston number. The night, from there, went straight into table dancing, sing alongs and just pure banter between a group of friends.
A little more about Stardust to follow.

Pearl Spoon Resturant | Review
Hey guys!
So this week I thought I'd switch it up abit by doing something totally different from the usual fashion and event posts we've been guilty of for quite some time now.
Last month, after almost loosing it completely to work related stress, I had the pleasure of enjoying a lovely meal with the girls at Pearl Spoon Restaurant to kick off my Birthday week and to forget about all the paperwork stuck to my desk.
To be quite honest, I don't usually have time to eat out on Saturdays as my weekends tend to fill up rather quick with blog related things and other business commitments I can't get to in the week, however, I've been hearing about this place for quite sometime now, so I thought why not see for myself what all the fuss is about and support our dear friend Adeeb and his new business venture. One thing I can say is that I don't regret wiping my schedule to indulge in what could have been the best chicken and mayo sandwich I've ever had. (and I've had like a billion)
The restaurant has only been up and running for a few months now, So I was stunned to see that they were already packed at 10:30am
All in all it was a great experience as the staff were so attentive and literally came to check up on us every 10 minutes, making sure we were enjoying everything we had ordered and indeed we were.
The restaurant opens from 8am and closes at 5:30pm but will soon be open until 10pm :)

Ford Fusion High Tea
Hey there,
You know how they say rather late than never right? Well I'm about to use that same line but with a tad more embarrassment!
However, I'm sure you all know the drill by now. This time of the year most of us are held down by tons of paperwork, deadlines and basically trying to tie up any loose ends before the year dawns in on us.
With that said, I haven't had enough time to share an amazing event I attended last month.
The Ford South Africa team were so kind to send over the
cutest invitation one day. It was a box of
assorted teas and thus to attend their #fordfusion High Tea on Monday 11th
September.
We arrived at the beautiful location on chapmanspeak, Hout
Bay and were met by the lovely ford team on arrival before getting whisked away
to the beautifully hidden and tranquil lodge, ‘Tinstwalo Atlantic’. The event was a bit different to what I’m used
to, this one was intimate and hosted a few Cape Town Bloggers, Other media
personalities and representatives of the brand.
We were introduced to the chief group designer of Ford 'Susan Lampinen' who talked us through the design process she and her team in USA Detriot, follow to bring us the end result which is the soon to be launched Ford Fusion car. South African Designer Suzanne Heyns aslo spoke about the creative process of designing her Runway Collections and how its similar to the design process of cars, taking us on a journey through where she finds her inspiration for her outstanding collections.
I was very impressed with how informative the event really was. I know very little about cars so it really boosted my knowledge of how much work and thought actually goes into designing and manufacturing them. Its safe to say I am excited to see the end result which officially launches in 2015. Besides the perfect detailing, colours and overall design aesthetic, the new ford will be able to park itself with out you having to steer. Now that sounds like a dream right?
PS: Shout out to FORDS amazing team for having us :)
Below is the YOUTUBE video of the event and some pictures/Sketches of the new ford master piece.
Take Care
