the old biscuit mill adventure

a family weekend was what we all needed . . . and most of my family hadn't been to the mill before :) I have heard such amazing reviews on it, I thought great. was really excited, so up and early, ready to go . . . pity we have a teenager to get ready too . . . so, averagely early start.

bit of a dodge area though, middle of Woodstock, and the cream of the crop roaming the streets of Cape Town. But due to Dads' superior parking skills, we found a parking close enough to the gate.

 entering, my breath was taken away. so exciting, a new place, nobody I recognised and with the family all together, Saturday outing . . .

I do love my dear family so . . . thank you all for the lovely weekend together <3

what I'm wearing

leatherette jacket - identity
patterned chiffon dress - new look
ankle boots - Shoe HQ
Turtle shell shrug - gift, China Town
leggings - woolworths
bag - W Studio, Woolworths
school grey socks - AP Jones, Fish Hoek Main Road

yesterday I started my three week internship at Vintage Lifestyle Magazine :)

I won't be telling you about the day by day happenings, as surprise is an important part of the magazines life. . . so I will do a mammoth post one week after the magazine is published, which will be the 12 August. Seems like a long way away, but time is speeding by like a runaway train.

I was welcomed to the magazine yesterday, and today I feature in a post on Diamonds & Dust . . . so exciting.

winter has made it's way to us

thought it had forgotten us down here. but, alas, it has arrived. and with a kick too.

college has kept me so busy, I haven't found much tome to actually write. I miss it. My days go by with me continuously thinking about postings and statuses for facebook, and how I can tweet my way through the days.

lets recap this year so far . . .

fedisa is insane, so much of hard work . so little time

basic wrap up of the past four months.

I will be doing my twenty one day internship at Vintage Lifestyle Magazine

which I am very excited about . . . will be being published, involved and will see all that happens in a magazine, just an online version. this will be during my June/July holiday

at the same time, I will have to make my forth outfit for {s o u t h e r n   c o m f o r t}

the whole collection thing is hard . working for thirty seven hours without a wink of sleep isn't fun, and then add the stress of six deadlines to that lack of sleep, and then the occasional attack of hunger . . . third year is no joyride. student life, pfffft.

today I had time to put together my first outfit post in a while . . . just another student outfit . . .

what I'm wearing

leatherette bomber - identity

cabel knit jersey - hand me down

blue pinstrip camisole - pick n pay

satin leggings, leopard print scarf - woolworths

legwarmers - gift

brown amber ring - gift from my mommy

turquoise round ring, turquiose stone bracelet - gift from my love

pendant necklace - methology

pochahontas boots - china town market

okay, lets talk why I'm wearing what I am . . . stripes . spots. because I want to :) Because I can.

don't be afraid of mixing your prints. prints are going to be hot this season, but don't bore the world with your impersonal style - dress for yourself, and dress because you want to. stop reading through other peoples blogs/websites and trend forecasts - be inspired by what you see on the street, be inspired by the world around you. take pictures, fill your mind with beautiful places, beautiful people and eat beautiful food.

that's the most important tip for winter - forget looking skinny, thin, slim and whatever other task you set for your body. eat what you want. It's only for three more months anyway.

we have fat days. as feminine forms, it's only natural.

my mommy always reminds me . . .

"you may be having a fat day, but to the rest of the world you look exactly the same as you did yesterday"
