DRAB TO FAB !!!

2010-01-11T09:28:00.000-08:00

I came across this site http://www.themacbethcollection.com/ and just totally loved it!! They take plain and boring looking-goodies from around the home and office and decorate it with one of their beautiful and stylish designs!! Your choice of course!!

End result.... soooo pretty!!

An absolute MUST-HAVE-ITEM!!

2010!!!

2010-01-10T00:51:00.000-08:00

OK,so I kinda suck at doing this on a regular basis,But Happy belated 2010!!

Hope you all had a super, awesome party!! I sure did :) Except for a couple of dodgy minutes where I had a bit of an outer body experience(or maybe it was just the mix of patron and absolute!!) and kissed a guy that then ran off and kissed a horse on the mouth!! Yeah...not hot!!

Myself and My super-fab sister Superficial girl after too many glasses of Moet!!

Anyway,so good luck with all those N Y's resolutions!! I didn't make any this year...decided that I'm just going to take things as they come and make it a damn good year!!

My Fave Xmas cookies!!

2009-10-08T01:55:00.000-07:00

Hellooo to everyone after a very crazy but fabulous week!! So this weekend I am having a picnic in the park with some girlfriends and thought something like this would be so awesome and cute!! Surrounded by champers,delicious desserts and all kinds of other delectable goodies!! Oh and dont forget the super-sweet accessories!!

Aww,just how cute are these heart-shaped salad accessories!! Add some passion to that perfect picnic or candlelit dinner!!

LOVE IT OT LEAVE IT??

2009-10-01T09:17:00.000-07:00

I really enjoy wearing leggings...it's just the most comfy thing ever and looks great with most shoes,but i am not the biggest fan of tights! Kinda reminds me of high school and it sooo made me itch in dodgy places!!

Anyway,what do you think of these geisha-tights from Liberty of London?? Love it or leave it?? In my opinion it is a definite no-no!! I just cant see any hotness happening here!!

Wednesday wishlist!!

2009-09-30T07:52:00.001-07:00

Greetings to all fab friends from a super-windy Cape Town!! Today,to my utter delight, I found out that a new Missoni Hotel will be opening in Cape Town next year!! All for the 2010 world cup soccer!! Yay,yay,yay ...I have always been a major Missoni fan! The vibrant colours and bold,graphic prints just really puts me in a happy place!! And I am in desperate need of their stunning home accessories range!

Anyone else for some Missoni madness??

TUESDAY TREAT!!

2009-09-29T08:33:00.000-07:00

Ooohh..this would surely be a treat at any tea party!! The tea cup and saucer are simply "to-die-for" and who wouldn't love the yummy-looking daisy cookie!! Super-sweet!!

GIRLY NIGHT PLEASE!!

2009-09-29T08:10:00.000-07:00

Hey all!! I'm sure you will agree with me when I say that light-blue,skinny jeans and lovely pink manicured nails do NOT mix with car parts and grease!! Yip...that is how I spent my afternoon!! Stuck with a flat car battery and no hunks to the rescue, I had to deal with this little issue(actually in my books it would be classified as a major drama!!) all by myself!!

Anyway I survived... and with only one broken nail!! But now I am in serious need of some girly time!!

First on the menu would be a pampering session!! Love these shower caps!! Pretty pretty!!

And then just chill out with some vino and a good book in a comfy corner...mmm can't wait!!

Sweet dreams everyone!!

Flower power!!

2009-09-28T04:30:00.000-07:00

Someone actually told me this weekend that during a recession people are far more likely to take a shopping list to the shops and then stick to it!! And seriously...they only buy what's on the list!! How do they do that??

I ventured out on Saturday morning,'since I needed a couple of basic thingies like sugar and coffee etc. and came home with fab,grey leather boots( they were on special!!) very funky studded heels, Max factor false lash effect mascara, a lovely floral top, a couple of pretty,floral bangles and SUPER expensive eye-cream(the sales assistant told me it has botox in and apparently i need it...!!!)

So,I say ditch the list!! You only live once!!

Love my floral top and bangles...just right for spring!!

Also love these flower power cushions!! And I really wouldn't mind this glam Flamenco Coal beach bag by Anne Spade!!

HAPPY MONDAY!!

2009-09-27T22:21:00.001-07:00

Hey everyone!! Just a quick goodmorning before I set off for my early morning beach
walk!! Hope you all had an awesome weekend,that involved lots of fabulous indulgences!! I will share some of mine a bit later!! xx

GORGEOUS GIRLY GOODIES!!

Wow...midweek already and since tomorrow is a public holiday in South Africa, I will definitely be painting the town red tonight!!!! Now all I need is a pair of ruby-red, blingy heels like the awesome ones some of the top designers have designed for the 70 year anniversary of the classic movie "The wizard of Oz"!!

Loving it!!

TUESDAY TREAT!!

2009-09-22T08:18:00.000-07:00

Hey all!! Hope you are all having a fab Tuesday! Mine has been pretty good so far,except for my relentless craving for cookies all day long! I've had strawberry whirls ,choc chip and some nutty ones,but I am still in need of the perfect one!! So now I've been drooling online and found these super-awesome ones,but I think they look way too cute to eat.

LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT??

2009-09-21T07:41:00.000-07:00

Tattoos have been around for ages!! Over the last couple of decades it has enjoyed great popularity with our culture!! From bad-ass rockers and bikers to sweethearts declaring their love to each other!! Then came Ed Hardy with tattoo inspired clothing and the world loved it!! Now we have tattoo inspired tableware...

What do you think?? Love it or leave it??

FEATHER FLAIR!!

2009-09-21T03:23:00.000-07:00

When I was younger I used to adore peacocks! They are so majestic and dramatic and can add flair to any occasion!! A perfect idea for an extra special table setting!!
This purple peacock feather inspired scarf from Liberty of London is just fabulous

Oooh i just love this little peacock feather clutch bag!! Super-cute!!

Lovely peacock touches for around the house!!

MOROCCAN MOODS!!

2009-09-20T22:13:00.000-07:00

Good Monday morning to everyone!! Today I'm feeling Moroccan!

Creating a new trendy Moroccan look is really easy and fun!! The north African culture has gorgeous earthy and spicy textures and colours to play around with!! Combine it with brighter splashes of colour and scatter lovely printed pillows and cushions everywhere for a relaxed and luxurious feel!!

Set the mood with a stunning Moroccan lantern. At night it will add a romantic and magical feel!!

Add some exotic curios and Moroccan accessories to liven up your dining area.

You will find stunningly illustrated coasters, flamingo stirrers, pretty parasols, an Asian cocktail-guide and very cool peacock and fan-tail fish party decorations in your box!!

For all the domestic goddesses out there, they have the sweetest-looking Dumpling Dynasty baking kit!! It comes with the cutest cupcake cases, pink candles, cookie cutters and lovely recipes for blissful baking times!!

MOBILE-STYLE!!

2009-09-17T07:09:00.001-07:00

Oh wow...aren't these mobile-homes just too fab!! I would love going on a little outing with one of these behind the car!! Perfect for a Sunday trip to the countryside! Although they were actually only put together to showcase a new line of wallpaper!!

And this one would be heaven to take to your own private little beach!! Check out the cute shower!! Loving it!!

Hmmmm...strawberries!!

2009-09-16T09:04:00.000-07:00

Tonight I am enjoying sweet ,succulent strawberries with a hint of balsamic on a big scoop of vanilla ice-cream!! Yum!!! I loooove strawberries!!These strawberry plates are just great for a fab spring picnic!!

Divine...delicious and oh-so-decadent!!! Strawberries dipped in nuts,coconut and additional drizzle!!

2009-09-16T05:32:00.000-07:00

I went to visit my little niece Chloe today and I just loved her new adorable pink bedroom!!

A lovely, curly hat/or coat stand with ballerina tutus, pretty patterned jackets and mini-backpacks makes a very cute focal point!!

Play around with words!!

Cute furniture with cut-out shapes are always a winner!!

And the floating shelves are perfect for all those happy memories and moments!!

VIVA AL FRESCO!!

2009-09-16T01:37:00.000-07:00

I am so into outdoor living and thought these spaces are really amazing!!

I adore the clean lines and and splashes of vibrant colours!! Really summery and fun!!

Here I love the more dramatic kinda feel, although it's still very soothing to the soul!!

Stolen Spring Pleasures!!

2009-09-15T08:38:00.000-07:00

As co-owner of a Garden and Landscaping business,I find myself inspired by the amazing shapes,textures and colours of nature on a daily basis. Today I saw a big bush full of the prettiest pink flowers and just stood there staring at it and enjoying the moment!! I decided to prolong this feeling of utter happiness and quickly snatched a few and shoved it into my over sized handbag.

A little later and on my way home,I opened my bag to sneak a peek and to my horror a "not-so-friendly" bee popped out!! Not to worry though...all drama queen moments were avoided due to my super fast assessment of the situation and even faster reflexes!! Yeah...right....I screamed like a maniac and bolted from the car!!

Anyway,my pretty flowers are looking gorgeous in my bedroom!!

Also enjoying right now: My fave "spring room"

Nuts about napkins!!

2009-09-14T09:13:00.000-07:00

From fab little tea parties with a retro,vintage vibe to great summer cocktail parties, you always need to complete your look with lovely looking napkins!!

Fun in the sun!!

Perfect baby-shower napkins....really sweet!!

Everyone can pretend to be Nigella...domestic goddess darling!!

ECO-FAB AND FRIENDLY!!

2009-09-14T05:33:00.000-07:00

I awoke this morning with the beautiful sounds of birdies singing outside my bedroom window!! So,that instantly put me in a really happy place...great way to start the new week!! Here are some of my fave birdie designs and goodies!!

Lonely hearts...

2009-09-13T05:09:00.000-07:00

Two weeks ago I met someone really special on holiday and I am just missing hom so much today!! It's one of those quiet ,rainy Sundays where you just wanna stay in bed,drink red wine and cuddle all day long!! Aaaahh...wish he was here!! I feel like Bella without my Edward...

I just love these black and white images of romance!!!

LAUGH FOR THE DAY!!! HELP IT'S MY MOM!!!

2009-09-11T04:55:00.000-07:00

Oh my goodness , has Halloween come early this year or has my mother gone mad??? I spotted her cruising around in her convertable BMW...like this!! What a scream.... And my brother-in-law already calls us the "Adams family"!!!

Thinking "pink" this weekend!!!

2009-09-10T23:58:00.000-07:00

Yay,nearly weekend!! And I am in desperate need of some chill time!! My fave dotty La Senza slippers is definately a treat for my feet!!Sure I am going to need some pimping time and it just wouldn't be the same without my pink GHD my sister gave me and a splash of Essie nail colour!!

And obviously "the little pink dress" for my Saturday eve party!!

Oh and Sunday I'll be a good girl and go shake some bootie at the gym in my pink and gold Ed Hardy tracksuit!!

Uber-sleek versus Comfy-chic!!

2009-09-10T09:33:00.000-07:00

Oooohh, I have been thinking about my bed all day long!! Could not get any sleep last night after my ex decided to call me really late and chat about his new girl and her pregnant state! So anyway, I was wondering what kind of a bedroom babe you are?? Would you prefer to get your beauty sleep in a super-sleek pad or would you rather enjoy your ultimate escape to dreamland in comfortable and chic bedroom??Think I'll choose this one when i take some super sexy hunk home!!

But for tonight I'll definately choose comfort!!

Cutest poochie beds for designer doggies!!

2009-09-10T01:22:00.000-07:00

Amazing "LITTLE" people!!

2009-09-09T07:04:00.000-07:00

2009-09-09T03:23:00.000-07:00

Yip, it's my fab new fedora!! And with summer coming here in the southern hemisphere,thought I just had to have the look...and it's not the Michael Jackson one ;)

Anyone for a little "pick-me-up"?

2009-09-09T00:27:00.001-07:00

I needed to smile today,so my first thought was of ice-cream...delicious,dreamy and oh-so decadent!! "It's amazing how quickly you recover from misery when someone offers you ice-cream"
Neil Simon, Brighton Beach Memoirs

Check out the pretty ice-cream goodies :)

I am so loving roses right now!!

2009-09-08T10:43:00.000-07:00

“A rose is a rose is a rose”

My secret love affair with all things pretty!

2009-09-07T07:04:00.000-07:00

Aren't we all just true shopaholics at heart?? How can we not love all the glam and girly things that is all around us every day? So lets just start to embrace and enjoy the ultimate "high" that the stunning pink stiletto,the fab,little french boudoir-style pad or the pretty, bling brooch gives us!!
