I'm finally relaxing after a long day at work to some Parisian beats (that I discovered on my office iMac) and am looking forward to a fun weekend - Riaan and I are nipping off to Dullstroom for what I surmise to be an indulgent 2 days of lazing about.  Can't wait!

a little inspiration...

how is it that we (burgeoning adults) end up becoming so serious and down-to-business-like?  every now and again it's interesting to reflect on how you thought you would turn out.  i think, at the heart of me, i'm still a bit of a clumsy teen who loves daydreaming, pretending to be grown up...and the cherry blossom girl reminded me what girls, regardless of age, like most:  hanging out with your girl-friends (on a school night! because you can!), dressing up, taking pictures, listening to music, and having fun. i think i should do that every once in a while...

nouveau blonde

For the Spring 2011 NY Fashion Week, blondes are, according to Vogue Daily, all the rage!  Sarah Brown of Vogue reports:  These aren't your average bottle-blondes, and it's definitely not sun-kissed highlights - there's an expensive warmth and richness to the new shade, which looks just right with the louche seventies vibe felt at so many of the best collections...

 

everybody loves my baby

I am so proud of my gorgeous fiancé Riaan today!  He was commended by people at his work because he helped out with a big project over the weekend at short notice.  They were so impressed with his dedication, expertise and willingness to go the extra mile, that they have decided, as a token of their appreciation, that "he can take his fiancé out to dinner at any restaurant of her choice",  sponsored by his company!  Wowy!

The Bride Wore Christian Lacroix

'You must visit Christian in Paris, he's wonderful...' Aunt Victoire to Marie-Antoinette (from Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette).

I might not be able to visit nor afford a Christian Lacroix, but here's hoping that I will be wearing Christian Louboutin's...!
