Beach Print

Hi beautiful readers,

Having been confined to a bed for the past week, I have been suffering from a serious case of cabin fever. And seeing the lovely weather and everybodys “Summer” pics made me long for the outdoors even more…

Being so ill really makes one thankful for so many things, since you have nothing but time to reflect. I must admit, that I generally try and live each day to the fullest since regret is really a wasted emotion. I’d rather have tried and failed, than not to have tried at all, and if I yearn to do something, I’ll make a plan to do it at the earliest opportunity. Afterall, that bucket (list) will become pretty heavy if you don’t start emptying it, right?

I stumbled across this beach look which I haven’t posted yet, and I reminisced on this lovely day spent in Hermanus town. As good as it’s going to get for now…

Outfit details:

Ciao for now,

Last of the summer rays

Living in Cape Town, one has to get used to four seasons in one day. Well, Autumn is on the way and whist we have some cooler chilly days, the warmer sunny ones creep in occasionally. This past weekend could possibly have been the last of our balmy days. And although the sun is shining and the air is warm, it's unfortunately not enough to coax me into our freezing sea water. However, we still decided to spend an afternoon on Blouberg dunes , well any excuse for ice-cream right?

The ambience was so relaxed and laid back, unlike the hustle and bustle of Atlantic Seaboard on a Sunday afternoon. It's like a soothing balm for the soul, to just soak up the sun and stare out over the water (not forgetting the awesome view of Table Mountain to add to the relaxation).

Choosing the correct outfit for these unpredictable days is a bit difficult, and I think the best would be to wear some summer basics and layer it to keep out any unexpected chill.

As I'm posting this, its raining cats and dogs, so Winter is here!

I therefore decided to wear my Diligo swallow print maxi dress layered with a cropped denim jacket.
