Boulders
Today was a bitter-sweet day. It was the last day of my leave and I decided that I had to spend it wisely. Rueben and I went for lunch and then went for a drive. Rueben said that no holiday in Cape Town is complete without taking a drive around the Peninsula. He couldn’t have said it better! We stopped at Boulder’s Beach because we both haven’t been there in years and we wanted to see the penguins. They’re so cute and the views are spectacular. Is it even possible to be in a bad mood in this place?
You can see from the pics that the wind has been at it again. So, no the dress is not a very weird shape. For me personally, a dress is a prerequisite for a scenic drive. Pretty dresses and pretty views just go together. Let’s hope that being back at work is not that bad.
You look really cute in the quilt dress!
AND OMG THE PENGUINS!!
Omigod I’ve never seen a penguin in the wild before! That’s incredible! And your patchwork dress is adorable, too!
Such beautiful pictures, they definitely make me nostalgic for California summers (it is currently cold and rainy over here!) and I forgot that South Africa gets penguins. Too cute

I love this post! I was there in April (obviously, being a good tourist) and you really do come from one of the most beautiful places on earth. Really good penguin photos by Reuben, by the way, I know how hard it is to get a good one close enough!
And I love your dress! I have a similar patchwork kind of one. They’re so summery!
Aww thanks guys. You make me feel so grateful that I can just take a drive and visit these penguins! @Emily, agreed! Rueben took some beautiful shots.
Love your dress! Happy New year! x

What cute patchwork on that dress! I think it was on your blog where I last read about dresses being perfect for scenic outings—I totally agree! Wind, though sometimes can be annoying, adds a great effect to dresses in pictures as long as you don’t have anything show underneath haha.
Hope you had a great New Year’s eve!!
The dress you’re wearing is really really really cute! Haha, lovely look.
so beautiful. x hivennn.
beautiful dress! I am in love
Beauty Beauty Beauty!!!!! I’ve got some scary penguin memories, but they make for great viewing anyways!

Love Boulders. There’s a great restaurant to have breakfast there. I’m still in love with your DIY bag! Hope being back at work isn’t too bad!
