Now that i’ve booked tickets I can officially tell you that I’m going to London for two weeks in the middle of June, I have the longest varsity break and a wonderful husband who’s sending me to get some sunshine and culture.

This is what i’m looking forward to:

Summer-ness

lazing in parks, museums & art galleries.

the possibility of seeing Mumford & Sons and Arcade Fire in Hyde Park

Summer Sales & buying more trousers from Zara!

M & S food. and ofcourse seeing my sister, her husb and this little button

On Saturday night I went with Angie, Jo, Milli & Uno to a KWV dinner party! They took us 100 metres up in the freezing sky and gave us a lot to drink – we tried all their wines and champagnes and they were delicious. After a scary and chilly hour up there we went to the FTV at Silverstar which was nice and warm. There we ate a lot of sushi and platter food and learn’t how to make some cocktails – The spiced wine (featured below with the cinnamon stick) was my favorite – it was hot and delicious!

here’s one of their official pics and angie also has some nice ones on her blog!

A friend of mine ‘pinned’ this outfit above and I have to say i’m totally smitten with it. I want every single item of it!

1. It’s Friday!

2. I’m on holiday from varsity for seven weeks. YES. S.E.V.E.N. weeks

3. Our names are on the waiting list at the istore for the ipad 2 (how cool is this etch-a-sketch cover – from urban outfitters)

4. Some of us bloggers are having dinner in the sky tomorrow night! (blog post to follow)

5. New Bon Iver coming out 21st June. Go preorder and get a free track!

sounds fun! hope to see you there!

I’m so excited to tell you guys i’m going to be part of a pretty awesome project, headed up by Canadian blogger Kaitlyn. She’s sending a blank journal from blogger to blogger all around the states and canada, making a few stops to england, france, south africa (yay!), Australia and then back to Canada. We have a few pages to fill up with art, words, anything really : ) and then send it on. reminds me a bit of the travelling pants.. but I think much cooler. Can’t wait to meet new bloggers and see what everyone else comes up with

: )

ooh. Can’t wait to get it! I’ll probably only get in a few months.. but will definitely keep you posted.

On Saturday mornings Dyl & I have gotten into a nice habit of venturing out to find a new place to have breakfast. We finally got around to visiting Juta street in Braamfontein.

We went to Post for breakie. It’s such a lovely light filled spot with big open windows, the smell of good coffee and bacon cooking and the most jivey awesome tunes playing off a beautiful old record player.

doo bee doo wop!

beeauutful lomo shop! inspired me to blow the dust off my diana

manny. I love all this furniture.

nice shelves!

and nice love. x x x

It’s friday but it somehow feels like it shouldn’t be friday.

I finish my 3rd last term of 4th year in a week, and I have 6 week break ahead.. and there are things I should be doing like unpaid internships, or maybe getting a part time job… but all I can dream about doing is travelling. It’s summer in europe and cold here : ( . Over there there are museums, art galleries and beautiful parks to spend your days in, interesting food to try.. summer sales. : ) flip. All I want to do is get on plane. or train.
