{OOTD} | Homecoming

Top – Moon by Maxine Tromp | Skirt – Sewn | Pearls – Gift from my Aunt | Shoes – Cotton On

Over the past weekend I went back to my hometown (Ladysmith, KZN) to attend the wedding of my two dear friends. It was a beautiful wedding and a lovely relaxing weekend. This is the outfit I wore to the wedding.



I simply adore this MOON Collection top. It’s so versatile and the sleeves are just so cute. This skirt was sewn for me at least 5 years ago when my cousin got married and I originally wore it with a velvet jacket. I am seriously obsessed with this colour. It’s really unusual. This pairing was actually quite last minute because I originally planned to wear a tulle skirt but when I opened my closet and saw this skirt I just had to wear it.



Being at my parents’ place and just in my hometown was extremely refreshing. I must admit though that seeing the people I went to school with after many years was quite weird. It was really exciting to hear that lots of them read my blog and it really helped put things into perspective for me. I have been struggling with lots of things over the past few months and it just reminded me how important roots are. I might claim to be the” Princess of Jozi” but at heart I’m still a small town girl!

I hope you enjoy this short week, but keep your eyes on the blog because I have a little giveaway coming up ;)

Until next time

{OOTD} I ♥ Dinosaurs

After over a year of blogging and encouragement from lots of amazing friends I finally gathered up the courage to pose for an outfit post. Even as I am typing this, I am so nervous! I have always, like every girl, had issues with the way I look but I’ve decided to just wear what I always do and take the plunge.



Woolworths RE: Jeans | Forever 21 Top | Chinatown Boots | Koukla @ YDE Jacket

I bought this top at Forever 21 on my trip to the UAE this year. My youngest brother and I have a slight obsession with dinosaurs. We have hundreds of dinosaur related stuff like stuffed toys, stickers, stationery, crockery and lots more. I love it when I can wear a bit of my personality in my clothes or accessories.



The boots are from a Chinese store and they were super cheap. On the downside, the left shoe is a little smaller than the right one which is suuuuuuper uncomfortable but I suffer through it because they look so fab ;)



Woolworths’ RE: is one of my favourite denim brands. I have lots of pairs of skinny jeans from them and they’re really comfy and affordable. They wash well too. I just chuck them in the washing machine and dryer and they’re good to go.

Until next time
