just another twenty first

Last weekend, jam packed with events and happenings.

It happened to be Elizna Rochers' twenty first.

and we were graced with an appearance by Meagan Dill, a dear heart that moved her studies up the country.

The camera was old school, there was some Afrikaans music involved and a band member or two. Lots of old forgotten friends, fizz pop punch and stolen seating arrangements.

just a quick snippet at college.

that internship has literally taken over my life . . . my way of thinking, my outlook on life, my outlook on college . . . changed forever . changed for the good.

first assignment when we get back - two storyboards for a client - one of them - vintage.

so have googled my day away, again and have found some super hot images I wish to share with you.

another few new obsessions :

porcelain rabbits

watercolour bird pictures

I am busy finishing up my reseaching time . . . now on to designing my two outfits for the client

starlings cafe, in narnia .

if you are terrible with directions, get lost often and have a unreliable car - maybe skip this post and read some fluff piece about cupcakes.

my day started out averagely, and headed down hill - though got to a fairly beautiful point in the middle, plateauing till the sunset.

I got lost on the wrong side of the tracks, not having a clue where I was going, turned down the wrong oneway, up a slip road, my lil car was scared an didn't want to drive, an absolute nightmare.

but in the end, much to my heat stroke and irritation - I survived and arrived to my last internship get together on time :)

once we entered the house, I felt like I had been swept up into a story book and had landed in another time - classic antique pieces of furniture blended into a modern, up beat, homey feeling room . . . I can't really explain how this felt - it was like somebody turned a light on to resturants and there in the dark was sitting this box of fresh air . . 

a little far fetched, but give me some credit here - it was a long drive.

 

 

 

 

 

vintage brunch was hot ashrim tea, and a butternut, feta and caramalised onion tart with a salad of mint, rocket and radish with a sweet dressing. da - vine .

this gorgeous cafe, Starlings, is in lower Claremont area - 94 Belvidier Road . . . go and see for yourself . break fast . lunch . brunch . whatever

I cannot believe this month of my internship is almost over. a few more pieces to clean up and do the photoshoot on Sunday . . . and ta - dah. one more step to becoming a graduate fashion student. . . . can't wait to do my post on my time at Vintage Lifestyle Magazine

{peace && lunch}

internship going well

i n t e r n s h i p   a t   v i n t a g e   l i f e s t y l e   m a g a z i n e

today, I had back to back meetings. felt like a real business woman.

met at vida e caffe in cavendish . . . never been there before. so had to try the legendary lindt hot chocolate :) yum. though, didn't taste much different to any other dark hot chocolate I've had. the Knead Bakery one was better :)

First we met the designer that is sponsoring clothing for the magazines fashion spread, Ghadeejah Padiyachi. She took us to the store where she sells her clothing. It was really great to see so many young designers getting out there and selling their clothing, with a place to do so. More on her after the shoot though, don't want to give away anything . . .

I had such a lovely day . . . though sad to say, my internship will eventually come to an end . . .

I am having such fun learning about the lifestyle of a magazine editor . . . it's a good one to live, just lots of hard work, a lot of time spent waiting on other people and a lot of pressure to be perfect. I'm so excited to show you what I'm working on :) Magazine out 5th August.
