Monochrome Love

Hello lovely readers!

Since Spring has sprung, Capetonians have experienced several seasons - Summer heat, Spring freshness, Winter rain and Autumn crispness. These photos were taken on a particularly lovely day, when I went to lunch at Knife restaurant at Crystal Towers.  As most people will do on a stunning day, we enjoyed our lunch on the terrace, with the stunning view of Table Mountain as the backdrop.

Its days like these that I’m reminded of the beautiful city we live in, and as I’m writing this, I have an overcast view of Table Mountain - beautiful nonetheless. I suppose we should enjoy this lovely city as it is now, before the tourists descend, resulting in overcrowded madness at all our favourite hangouts! Before we know it, it will be beaches packed to capacity, Hout Bay drives filled with traffic and queues of people wanting to visit Robben Island and Table Mountain.

Its unfortunate, that this is also the month my kids are submerged in exams, which means I cannot go indulge in the "tourist in your own town” activities.

I therefore hope, that those of you who are able, go out and enjoy our sights and become a tourist for a day, at least! Try the City Sightseeing Tour it’s so much fun!

Enjoy the pics of my take on the monochrome trend - I’ve paired my polka dot shirt with a relaxed tuxedo pants for a leisurely look.

Polka dot luncheon

My apologies for neglecting the blog, but its due to so many things happening at home. 

My second son, Ameer, starts high school next year, so we've been preparing applications and attending open days. My youngest Ihsaan, has decided he's a mini Masterchef, and has joined a cooking club- this means Mommy has to constantly buy the required ingredients for the next recipe! It never ends....

And of course, I am also now without my domestic worker, which complicates things a lot more. So when my sister suggested some time out for shopping and lunch, I was more than ready! I even managed to find a lovely pair of polka dot pumps on sale at Country Road (pics to follow). I am so into prints right now, stars, polka dots and stripes and even tropical.

It was such a lovely way to destress, forget about the housework and all the other responsibilities. And my sister has the knack for making me feel better about everything in general. Anyone who is blessed to have a sister knows, you have your ups and downs , but in the end you love them to bits and that's all that matters!

For the lunch I paired my polka dot cardigan with red wedges with a nautical striped heel detail:

I was wearing:

Vest & cardigan: Mr Price
