Mr Price
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!
hi darling. hope youre having a wonderful week so far. ive never heard of that brand before- but i love that first dress youre wearing. its so cute!

what an amazing prize!! well done (:
I have to admit, even in three months in South Africa, I never went to Mr. Price. However, I’m a big believer in more expensive is not necessarily better. The problem with all places, cheap and expensive, is sorting the good stuff from the crap. You seem to be really good at that, which is probably why it doesn’t look like you shop at Mr. Price!
Congratulations on your win Anthea! I’m not familiar with Mr. Price, but you definitely look great in your outfits.
That’s so precious that you decided to take photos of your family and friends instead. Love it!
Have a lovely weekend! x
Anthea, this is such a phenomenal site. It’s so simple, yet sssooo professional. Soon you’ll be going places, mark my word. Keep up the good work. It’s time you let Mr Price know about the FREE publicity you’re giving them. The least they can do is advertise on your site. Chow
@Ediot, Thanks! that dress is actually from another SA label, Vertigo. Definitely one of my favourites.
@Rebecca, Thanks! It was an awesome prize indeed. Love that little camera.
@Emily, you do know that you give the best comments? Always so insightful. Thanks!
@Abi, thanks for visiting. Hope you have a great weekend too!
@Mogamat, Hello uncle! I love it when family visits this blog. Everybody, check out my uncle’s sight. If you ever come to Cape Town he is an excellent tour guide. He knows the best deals and spots in Cape Town! And don’t worry, I don’t mind. Mr Price knows I love them.
Ah man, that just warms my heart!! Congrats on winning and the photos you took with the camera are just so precious. Go Mr P, Go Anthea! x
I think you’ve got a good sense of what is important – and the photo’s on the top show your amazing sense of fashion. I love the photo on the beach…
The photo’s of your family look so personal – it’s great to be allowed to share in your special moments like this. Well done for winning – you deserve it!
