Fuschia Pink pumps

Hello beauties!

The fast is flying by and it has already been such a good month! I have really taken the time to reflect and make the most of this month.

It's amazing how much more time I have found I have, well... I haven't really gone shopping aside from the sorely needed groceries. My kids do not participate in sport, and I therefore do not have to do soccer runs or be on the soccer field at the crack of dawn on a Saturday. I have been practising my scarf wrapping and the different styles and those of you who follow me on Instagram would have seen my posts on this.

One thing I do miss, is my occasional coffee dates with friends, and as a result I have a few promises of catch ups after Ramadaan.

The outfit I chose for today's post was worn before the fast for a breakfast date with my sister at Tobago's (another favourite). I love the view from the deck, the breakfast room is small so its very intimate and always makes me feel like I'm on holiday.

I covered my denim on denim outfit with a loose knit crew neck and my courts in bright pink.

Seriously in need of my sunnies lol

I am wearing:

PnP crew neck knit

MrPrice denim shirt

Woolworths studded boyfriend jeans

Nine West heels

Lovisa Necklaces

Ciao for now,

RuBe xoxo

Linkin Park Baby!

This week has really been all about the build up to the Linkin Park concert. Yeah, I did some work and had some meetings, and everywhere I went I played their music. The old CD’s dating back to 2000 all the way through to current music.

Lookpost of my Monday outift - a pop of neon:

Country Road pencil skirt| Country Road cardigan and embellished t-shirt

My Tiffany bangle, an anniversary gift bought in London *special item*

Swarovski crystal chain bought in Venice

Witchery snakeskin pumps

Cameo earrings from Lovisa

And this pump arrived this week - more neon accents!

A little something I bought at Zando this week

So it is apparent that I am a BIG fan, unfortunately I could not find the time to get a t-shirt, but definitely queued for one at the concert.

Wednesday turned out to be an extremely windy day (typical Cape Town). It was really unfortunate that it wind caused such a disastrous accident. Whilst standing in the howling wind, we heard a loud crash and saw people running towards the sound. It was awful, people around those who were stuck under the scaffolding structure were trying to lift and help the injured.

Just after the scaffolding was blown over onto some fans

All the while someone was calling on a loudspeaker for any medics in the crowd or anyone familiar with CPR. A few seconds later, disaster vans and paramedics arrived. We were then ushered away from the scene and asked to proceed towards the stadium. It was such an unreal scene, like something from a movie!

My sincere condolences goes out to the families.

What a start to a highly anticipated concert!

Once inside the stadium, one could feel the excitement building, or it could just have been mine? Either way, I was on a high, dampened slightly by the tragic accident. It was an eternal wait, probably around an hour before Linkin Park arrived on stage, after the opening act. By then, the crowd was chanting and screaming - a real ROCK concert had begun.

They certainly didn’t disappoint, my favourite band member, Mike Shinoda, was in top form; closely matched in talent by Chester Bennington. And of course the rest of the band deserve a mention for their amazing performance, namely, Joe Hahn, Brad Delson, Rob Bourdon, Dave Farrell, Kyle Christener, Scott Koziol and Mark Wakefield
