The Script OOTN

Dear Lovely readers,

Another week, even more hectic and a sick kid to contend with, and while Fridays don’t usually mean a relaxed weekend for a mum, I’m glad it’s here!

This month I’m really looking forward to the Michael Buble concert, I have always been a huge fan, I thought I’d share a bit about last months The Script concert.

This was my second time seeing this pop rock band, and I have been moved by their music since “We Cry” hit the airwaves. Since then I have bought every single album and thoroughly enjoy their ballads which reveals their Irish roots. They totally blew my socks off, and there was no better place to be than Golden Circle. Especially when Danny jumped off stage and entered the crowd, but alas, I was a mere arms length from him and couldn’t get any closer :-(

I have an intense love of music, and change the genre I listen to depending on my mood. It helps calm me down when I’m seething, and so angry I could scream. When I feel down, it can perk me up, and certain songs will bring back memories which are endearing and special and sometimes funny.

Today’s look is my outfit I wore to the concert, comfort being top of mind. I paired a ‘concert’ ZARA t-shirt with Gap skinny jeans and the really funky Zibastyles shoulder chain to add some edge.

Dear readers,

Exams are finally over! And I feel so relieved one would swear I had been writing these past few weeks. I am grateful to have made it through and now my home can resume its normal routine.

November has been a whirlwind, with the year starting to shut down and preparations for the new school year begin. In the same way, life starts to wind down in all aspects, people start to feel the burn of the year - that inevitable pause looming upon the horizon. Even if there is no leave, at least the public holidays provide a respite from the work routine.

Cape Town is already getting into the holiday mode. The moment the lights are up, malls are adorned in all their festive glory and the beaches start to fill, you know that vacation time has arrived! So let us all start winding down to the end of the year - enjoying the staff parties, the secret Santa exchanges and Christmas carols blaring in the stores. To those needing to do gift shopping- good luck! To those needing to entertain kids - GOOD LUCK!

Today’s look was an outfit worn to a launch and it was a real scorcher of a day although rather windy (in true Cape Town style). I was feeling summery and whimsical, so decided to pair a hat and braid with my tropical skirt and my chunky Forever New pretties.
