Today was a quite a busy admin-filled day for me. When the paperwork and queuing was done I did some light shopping. I thought I’d share some of my buys and almost buys with you.
I found two dresses that fit very nicely. I think fit is extremely important. If something does not fit right then it can be very uncomfortable to wear. I also bought a pair of wedges. I’m looking forward to wearing these when Spring arrives, but will layer them up if I have to wait too long!
I surprised myself today because I shopped at Ackermans and Bata which I don’t usually do. It shows that you can overlook no shop as it might surprise you. Below are three dresses I fitted on but didn’t buy. They are lovely, but the fit was slightly out for me.
I wore a very comfy and simple outfit while running errands and shopping. Even though the outfit is plain, it’s still very me. I think it is very important to embrace your own style as much as possible because it makes you feel more you. Hope that makes sense!
I hope you enjoyed shopping with me!
Furthermore, I would like to thank everyone who voted for me for the SA Blog Awards. Your support and effort is great appreciated! My blog was not shortlisted this year but I will definitely try again next year! Also, thanks for all the amazing comments and questions you left for Aisa. I will send those questions off to her ASAP. One last thing, I will announce the giveaway winner tomorrow(Friday). Only a few more hours left to enter!
Have a stunning weekend! I have a feeling it’s going to be a good one.
I have been reading Aisa’s blog, Drowning Equilibriums, for a few months now and I am a big fan of the looks she puts together. She manages to look chic, funky and feminine at the same time. With every outfit she posts I am more impressed! Aisa lives in Phillipines and has recently left her 9 to 5 to pursue her passions. She now has an online shop and has been styling shoots. I have seen the results of some of her styling and she is extremely talented!
Aisa has kindly agree to answer questions you have for her. I definitely have some things I would like to know and thought that this would be a useful way of doing an interview since you will be the one reading it! So, if you have any questions or comments for Aisa, please leave a comment and I will compile them and send it off to her in the next day or two.
Doesn’t she have great style? Leave your questions for her and I will post them with her answers in future.
Winter has almost come to an end and I am craving Spring. At the end of every season I become very eager to wear next season’s clothing. When Winter started I could not wait to wear coats, boots and tights and now I am looking forward to wearing sandals and dresses. This is what I wore on Saturday. Maybe this will be the last of my Winter outfits for the year. Somehow I doubt it though, it seems to me that Cape Town is going to hold on to Winter for a little while longer.
It’s no secret that I love Mr Price. A friend once called Mr Price my dealer! This is one South African store that I can’t do without. Almost every time I walk in I end up walking out with something. There is no telling what would happen if they started an online store. I could not be held responsible for my actions!
Back in June, the Mr Price blog had a photo competition. They called for readers to send in photos of themselves wearing a Mr Price item. I entered and I won! I was extremely excited about this and could not believe I was picked! The prize was a Fujifilm Instax Mini camera. You can see the camera and my entries here.
I have certainly carried on wearing Mr Price since the competition which is evident in the picture below. Each and every outfit contains at least one Mr Price item. Lots of people tend to tell me that my clothing does not look like it comes from Mr Price. I think that maybe these people associate expensive clothing with things that look good. You can just look at the photos of South African bloggers to realise that this is not true. Affordable can also look great! Thanks Mr Price, don’t ever change!
When I heard I won the camera, I immediately thought that I would take a drive and take pictures of pretty sights in Cape Town. I changed my mind when I took a picture of my dad, which is the first picture below. I realised that I wanted to use this camera to take pictures of loved ones. It’s so precious to watch them pose and then become so excited when they see the picture coming out of the camera! I still have lots more pictures to take as some family members and friends insist that they need to put on make up or dress up when I take a picture of them!
I hope you have a great weekend! I am once again eagerly looking forward to this weekend and to Spring. I also want to ask you one last time to nominate me for the South African Blog Awards if you would like to! Tomorrow(Friday) is the last day for nominations. Thanks to all who have nominated already and who entered the giveaway below. If you haven’t entered the giveaway yet, you can still do so. There is plenty of time!
