Aqeelah has branched off from Thrift Cape Town to start her own venture, Lone Folk. I am happy to see how vintage is growing in Cape Town. Even though thrifting can be fun, we don’t always have the time. Nowadays you can just add shops on Facebook and you’ll know where to find well-preserved affordable vintage. Thanks Lone Folk.

Some of you might remember me going on about my best friend, Janine, getting married. Planning a wedding is no joke, but we had so much fun before and on the day of the wedding. It was really a special thing for me to see her get married. She looked so beautiful. I could not help sharing some of her wedding pics with you. They were taken by the very talented Leanne Evans (aka The Picturess).

So here is a nautical inspired outfit I wore the other day. Needless to say I am a fan of the nautical trend. I really don’t know what it is about little anchors and sailboats that does it for me. Maybe it is because it reminds me of the beach which reminds me of holidays and who doesn’t love a holiday?

So the Face Hunter came to Cape Town and everybody went a bit bonkers. It was Face Hunter this and Face Hunter that everywhere. I must admit that to me it was exciting. I’ve admired his blog and been a faithful follower since the first time I saw it. Rueben and I went to his book signing held at Studio One in Bree Street. We listened to his talk and I got to meet him when I got my book signed. It was interesting to hear what he had to say. I read most of what he had to say either in his book or in articles, but there were some new things. When asked what’s next in the blogging world he said that he thinks there will be networks of bloggers like the networks they have on TV. I asked him what his favourite blog is and he fumbled a little. He doesn’t read much blogs, but answered his friend’s blog “Showmanship” because it includes fashion and art. I’ll have to Google it.

It was a fun night all in all. I got to see some of my blogger friends including Michelle, Jasna, Aisha and Aqeelah. I also liked seeing how all the stylish people were dressed.
