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.
