Don't let the leaves fall!

So I'm not that great at posting regularly but I think I'm getting better :) The weather has not been so great lately. Clouds fill the sky and there is a cold wind that blows, which is occassionally accompanied by rain. Knowing Cape Town and its winters I know that the rain will soon become a daily occurrence; one I am not looking forward to. This also doesn't help when you're trying to get some work done, 'cause all I want to do is crawl into bed with a nice cup of tea and a movie. There is one thing I do appreciate though, and that is the colour of the leaves that keep falling.

As beautiful as this picture is, I can't help but be reminded of the cold that lies ahead. But with every negative there has to be a positive...

So sticking to the bright side...Here's to wearing cosy knits!

Peace, love and happiness!

Anchor Of My Soul

Anchor Of My Soul

by Sunday B. Fakus

You have taken the winds away from me

With words that calmed the storm of my life.

You brought me within the proximity of your reach

And smoothly chased the solitude away.

An unbridled passion, adorned with golden dreams,

Replaces loneliness my mind has long forsaken.

And being condemned to missing knowledge of life

The knowledge of your love redeemed the loss.

Then my heart, like the eyes of an eagle,

Truly, passionately seeks and finds you.

Doubts, anyway, aren't a comparison to my strong love

For you're the anchor of my soul.

A Paris Elopement: Karl Thoennessen and Leslie Yeung of Rogue Territory get hitched!

For all the lovers out there that have found their anchor and for all those that have yet to find theirs:)

Peace, love and happiness!

Settle Down

So for the longest time I've liked the song Somebody that I used to know by Goyte ft Kimbra and have wondered how Kimbra's music sounds 'cause I've only heard good things. Last week a friend of mine finally got me to listen to Kimbra and I fell in love with Settle Down. She has great musicality!

Hope you've had a good day :)

Peace, love and happiness!

PS: My friend's name is Koosh and you should check out her blog :)

There are just somethings you simply like and don't have a reason for liking them. Bows definitely fall into this category for me. I think bows have the power to add just the right amount of detail to any outfit.

Hope you've been having an awesome day:)

Peace, love and happiness.


Take me to Met!

Ever since I did an Art History course I've wanted to go and visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art, also known as the Met. Simply to experience a few one of a kind pieces that have shaped art throughout history. Now take a great venue; some interesting and beautiful pieces of fashion; and add a couple of famous people and you land up with an awesome event. The Costume Institute Gala!

The Met Ball, as it's known as, has been held annually for decades and with this it has brought us many years of outfits that will be spoken about for years; for their beauty, the boundaries they pushed and those which we wished they hadn't.
So I thought, why not take a trip down fashion lane, or rather take a peek at a few of my favourite looks:)

Today was a great day:)

Pick me up

So today has not been the best of days. Woke up 15 minutes before the time I was meant to be somewhere this morning. I can't really say I it was the worst day of my life but it really does stand out in the top 10. Whenever I feel like this I turn to music. Lately I have heard quite a few good songs that but for some reason the one that has stuck is Ordinary Heart by Emily King.

If you remember, I did a post on her a while ago. I find the words of here songs sincere. I just love this woman's music and she looks amazing in this cover art! Whoever said pick-me-up music had to be pumping? I say, it simply has to be beautiful.

Here's to hoping that tomorrow's a better day.

Peace, love and happiness:)

Fifty-eight

So the number 58 was on my mind yesterday as it held particular significance.

Here are some random facts about the number 58:

Buddhism was introduced in 58 AD.
In 1958 Visa and American Express cards were introduced.
The US experienced an economic recession.
The word tear is used 58 times in the Bible.
California has 58 states and was ranked as the 8th largest economy in the world in 2011.

And finally...58 is made up of the number 5 and 8 and together that makes 13 my favourite number :)

Peace, love and happiness!
