And the winner is…

Jenna Maree-Kipling of Croquis Life. Congrats Jenna! The pretty Thai floral bag will be yours soon!

Thanks to everyone for entering and all the beautiful places you mentioned. It really inspired me to do some more travelling, actually to save up to do some more travelling. I decided that I love giveaways to much that I will be buying something for my readers on every overseas trip I ever take! So, here’s to hoping there are many more!

My contribution

It’s feels like a long time since I did an outfit post. That’s probably because it has been! I honestly missed it and I didn’t think I would. I think I enjoy doing outfit posts because I love reading other bloggers’ outfit posts. I feel that I also need to contribute to this global movement of outfit postery (term coined by Lauren).

So, this is what I wore today. I was in a girly mood, although I don’t know how girly an all black outfit can really be. Remember those shoes I spoke about, that I splurged on in Thailand? Well, here they are. I really wanted a pair of espadrilles, but struggled to find a pair that fit me. I eventually found these and bought them with my last Thai money! It shows that perseverance pays off.

Just Jinjer in the Gardens

A bunch of us went to see Just Jinjer perform at Kirstenbosch on Sunday. We were all so worried it would rain and it didn’t! I was so happy about that. Just Jinjer is one of my all time favourite bands. I’ve been a fan since I was 13 and I just love their music more and more. Their live performances are wonderful and I am even so bold as to say that if you’re not a fan yet, then you will be after a concert.

Their music is peaceful and beautiful and the lead singer Ard having an amazing voice. The show started off with an acoustic version of “She Knows” and all I did was take a deep breath and sigh at how beautifully it was sung. I sound a bit ridiculous now, don’t I? But, the music and the picturesqueness of Kirstenbosch does that to me!

My friend, Janine, was kind enough to pack a picnic lunch and I definitely ate too much! Good music, cheese, wine and Kirstenbosch…What more can a girl ask for?

In case you’re wondering, that’s me in the first set of pictures. I posted some snippets of my outfit because this is a personal style blog after all. I loved my concert outfit that consisted of a parka, jeans, combat boots, striped top and a gorgeous owl locket bought by Rueben for my birthday. If you haven’t entered my latest giveaway, you can do so here.

Hope see you there
