Touching base

Hello Tuesday readers. I have just got back from a delightful 10 days in the Cape. And apart from three days of working remotely (reminder to self - don't do that again because it means you actually have to work), we had the most wonderful holiday and did all sorts of wonderful things and ate all sorts of delicious food. The good news is that I got a camera for my birthday (thanks parents!) so I took lots of pictures on an actual camera and I can't wait to share them with you.

For now I am just catching up at work and trying to come to terms with the fact that it is already April (!) but here is a little preggy pic of me lazing poolside in Greyton. Mostly because I wish I was back there but also because one of the few I have on my phone :)

Half way (19 and a bit weeks)!

Enjoy the rest of this short week (if you got Monday off like we did in South Africa). 
xoxo

Cutest twins ever

Cheska has linked to these tiny junglets here and here but I could resist doing a whole post on them because my heart is squeezed each time I look at these little gorillas. I hope our twins are at least half as cute as these.

Guest Post: Happy Easter Weekend

At last this long weekend has arrived! I am heading off to Ingwelala with 8 friends - it is sure to be one hell of a weekend. I have been planning this week and even for an obsessive organiser like me, 8 people for 5 days, 3 meals a day with no shops near by and no electricity and limited fridge space, the meals have been quite a task.

Here are some fun posts from around the web:

OMG did you see this video of Justin Timberlake and Jonathan Ross getting drunk?

Top 10 Easter bunnies. I want them all.

Something especially for Easter: Stella McCartney's Easter Egg app on her website. WARNING: This is a huge time waster!

I am trying to take gourmet meals into the bush for the weekend, so I'm trying out this Pinto Bean and Spinach Salad, it looks super easy and sounds super yum.

The husband and I just treated ourselves to a Nespresso Coffee Machine, I know, I know, we are a little late to jump on the bandwagon but we are super pleased with ourselves.

Don't you think this ring is beautiful, sigh.

100 Layer Cake was definitely one of my favourite wedding inspiration sites! Now see inside the blog's curator, Amanda Dawbarn's house... I officially have job/home/wardrobe envy.

And finally, here is Ernest on a tray.

Guest Post: Shopping List

These items are on my autumn shopping list... again, like all my shopping lists, these are items I desperately want but probably won't get.

1. Striped Umbrella by Jean Paul Gaultier for Opening Ceremony

2. A Dries van Noten tee.

3. Maison Martin Margiela glitter boots.

4. Some fab new shades, like these ones. They are called 'stare down shades' which if you ask me is a pretty cool name.

5. A super comfy track suit top (which I'll dress up with silk pants and heels or downs with jeans and sneakers)

6. A Christopher Kane sheer bow blouse, OMG, I wish.

Guest Post: Wedding Hair

My wedding my 4 and a half months ago! Eeeek, it feels so long ago. Anyway, I thought I would share my wedding hair.

Here are a few of my inspiration pics:

Here are some pics of me having my hair done on the day. Most brides have hair trials by a top hairstylist but I simply met my air dresser on the day. She lives in the tiny town of Malelane, where I got married, and actually does my granny's hair - that how I chose her! How many brides can say that? 

She was lovely and this was the first time I have ever liked how someone else has done my hair - on my wedding day, a pretty good day to get it right ;-)

And the final look:

As you know by now We Love Pictures look our wedding pics.

Ps. Incase you missed it on Friday - these are the cutest twins I have ever seen (until Bailey's arrive, of course). 

Guest Post: Happy Weekend

What are you up to this weekend? I have traveling fomo since both my sisters are away - Bailey is in Cape Town for 10 days, jelly! And Hugolyne is in London/ Barcelona. And then of course a whole lot of people have taken Friday off to make a 4 day weekend, meanwhile I even worked on the public holiday yesterday! Anyway, enough with the moaning, Cheska. This weekend is going to be a goodie: I have a catch up girls lunch on Saturday at Vovo Telo (yum, bring on the carbs) and on Saturday night we are going on a double date to Cirque du Soleil - Im making hot dogs at our house before. Sunday we have puppy training - of course we do!

If you are like me, and working on this Friday, here are some links to browse while you pretend to work:

Tommy Ton shot street style for Style.com in Tokyo - how crazy is some of the fashion!?

I am so excited for Body Worlds to finally come to Jo'burg, I am definitely going to go see it.

Do you know Blurb? I have become a huge fan and am creating every family member their own album from our wedding. Obsessed much? I know.

It is Easter weekend next week which makes me go into DIY overdrive, how amazing are these three Easter DIYs? 1) Gold foil eggs 2) Dipped eggs 3) Monochrome eggs - never fear if you are feeling creative fomo, I feel it too.

These tiny rainbow cakes are a task I want to conquer.

And finally, I have found the perfect twin BFFs for Bailey's twinlets.
