So it is the last day of the year and how can I not reflect and recap? I think the main theme of 2010 for me was discovery. That is the discovery of new things and the rediscovery of things I love. I hope to continue with this theme for 2011. I hope you end this year off with a bang and start the new year with happiness and positivity. Thanks for taking the time to read, comment and support my little blog. You are a big part of what made my year very special.

So, that’s the reflecting and now for the recapping. Since I am such a shoe lover, I thought I’d round up some of my favourite shoes that I wore this year. I definitely plan on expanding my shoe collection next year and I hope you do too!

Kat! Congrats, the lovely necklace and ring will be on their way to you very soon!

Thanks to everyone who took part in this giveaway. I hope to have many more on this blog. Hope everyone is done with their Christmas shopping. I have a long way to go!

Having clothing that comes from different sources makes your wardrobe diverse and interesting. This is why I am always on the lookout for a new place to shop. I was very excited to hear that Aqeelah from Fashion Breed and her friend Gabbi started selling affordable vintage and leather goods. You can see from the pictures below that the goods are beautifully styled and photographed which is an extra bonus because you can get some inspiration on how to wear what you buy. To view the merchandise you need to ask Thrift Cape Town to be your friend on Facebook. All details are available on that profile on Facebook. Happy shopping ladies!

I snapped some pictures of the Christmas inspired crafts at the Spier Craft Market. I liked this little market where the crafts are made mostly by previously disadvantaged communities in South Africa. I bought a mosaic heart. Aren’t they gorgeous? I am always amazed at the creativity and hard work that goes into making crafts available at markets such as these.

Don’t forget to enter the Fable Fairy giveaway below if you haven’t done so already. To all the South Africans, enjoy the public holiday tomorrow. How awesome is it that we get a little break right before Christmas?

I am excited to announce a lovely new giveaway just in time for Christmas. You stand a chance to win a heart-shaped ring and necklace made by Fable Fairy. To enter all you need to do is comment on this post saying:

1. What your favourite bracelet from here is.
2. Which women’s health topics (if any) you’d like to learn about.

It’s that easy!

This giveaway is open to everyone and ends on 21 December 2010. Winner will be chosen randomly and announced on 22 December 2010. Good luck guys!
