Come behind the scenes of the @miladyssa denim shoot that took place earlier this year. A whirlwind trip to the Durban midlands, to showcase how their jeans are really made to fit every body…and every booty 🍑

When @honeylove reached out and asked if I wanted

When @honeylove reached out and asked if I wanted to try out one of their bras - I squealed. I’d heard about them from my fave podcast (@redhandedthepod) - and, had no idea they shipped to South Africa! They’re proudly wire-free, prioritising long-wearing comfort and promising bras so comfy, you won’t want to whip them off the moment you walk through the door. I show their CrossOver Bra here, with three outdits - from at-home slouch, to a summer dress - I particularly love the smoothing bra wing, making sure there’s no bulge on your back and underarm. Use CANDICEBRESLER when shopping for 15% off your order - wherever you are in the world.

A leisurely lunch (with fantastic company) at @coy_capetown - one of the newest additions to the @vandawaterfront, offering a fine dining interpretation of African flavours. Beautiful setting, perfect portions and flavour combinations that make you think: starting with a tamarind and jalapeño margarita and spectacular burnt banana cream dessert with milk stout and malt (that was the highlight of the meal).

Autumn is here, and I am quite frankly, thrilled 🍁

I’m generally not a big jewellery person - my studs in my ears stay in 24/7, as does the @henriette_botha_studio necklace (and @famkejewellery 🥐 charm). But, I’ve wanted a charm necklace for years and finally found the perfect one at @janevalken in Kalk Bay this weekend, and I’m in love. Could this be the start of me actually…accessorising?

I spent Saturday (very happily) welded to the couch, so decided I needed a little air and movement today. Are we still doing hot girl walks? Listen with voiceover, but the cheat sheet is below:
@saintsiena_kalkbay for a beautiful collection of @hannahclairecreations bags and pouches | @ohana.kalkbay for fantastic breakfasts and their iconic Ohana Buns | @janevalken where I finally found the perfect @habahaparis charm necklace. Special shout out to @bootleggercoffeecompany for also stocking @ceremonysouthafrica

A few old - and new - favourites (all tagged) as I cosplay a marshmallow? Strawberry swirl ice cream?

Did you know that 74% of South Africans don’t follow any sleep-enhancing habits? Honestly, it could never be me.

I take my sleep very seriously - I’m an “in bed by 19h30” kinda girl - watch to see what I do to try and ensure a great night’s sleep, every night (with my @sloom.co.za pillow, of course). We’re talking about:

😴 A selection of reading material and a @getsleepypod
😴 A special perfume I spray on my PJs (yes, I’m that extra)
😴 All the ambient lighting

To see how your sleep habits compare to the rest of South Africa’s, head over to @sloom.co.za to read the full survey. And, take this as your permission to take a nap today.

Join me behind-the-scenes at the first @lizacliffordbrafittingstudio Bra Squad Shoot! Put together by the most incredible team, it was focused on educating women (you might see my face and 🍈🍈 in your inbox)…and, of course, showing off some 👌🏼 bras. The biggest thank you to the team for creating pure magic, and making me feel so comfortable on set - especially
@casscollettphotography and @lizaclifford ❤️ Here’s to the next one!

Popped into @sonnyandirene for brunch - brut MCC, a prawn bap and truffled mushroom croissant jaffle were ordered - and, honestly? Tens all around. The interiors are beautiful, the food great - and the service was the best I’d had in recent memory. Will absolutely be back.

Pretty in pink, to celebrate the new @poetrystores

Pretty in pink, to celebrate the new @poetrystores Flagship Store opening earlier this week. Swipe through for a few things that caught my eye 🎀

A truly, spectacularly perfect morning with @anjaw

A truly, spectacularly perfect morning with @anjawintour - we actively never take for granted that we get to call this city “home”. A morning Prosecco cruise with @waterfront_charters took us out the @vandawaterfront, towards Green Point, on a perfectly windless morning. We would have been happy just sipping on our bubbly and gazing at the waves - but, Cape Town brought her A-game: we spotted countless dolphins; a penguin, seals…and a WHALE barely 20m from the boat. It’s R330 for an hour (or R440 with Prosecco) and we’re already planning our next trip (a hopeful three hour cruise to Clifton, with a little ocean jumping and swimming). Not sponsored in anyway, just in love with what this city has to offer ❤️

Celebrating the launch of the new flagship @poetry

Celebrating the launch of the new flagship @poetrystores in Sea Point last night, with my favourite @anjawintour 🎀 Their range and products have always been spectacular, but this launch is taking the retail experience to an entirely new - world-class - level. Congratulations to everyone involved…we’ll be back.

Unintentionally dressing to match the weather this

Unintentionally dressing to match the weather this morning (but, secretly grateful for the coolness in the air!) @queensparksa do an incredible range of tiered pieces that I absolutely adore (I have three tiered skirts from them, too). I’ve just had a peak on lined and there are some great tiered dress options…if you love the style as much as I do. Not sponsored in any way, just a girl sharing what she loves.

When I spotted these on the hanger, I knew I had to give them a try - even though they aren’t my usual style. Wide legged? Cropped? It could have gone horribly wrong; but I think it’s gone…wonderfully right? Fitted in all the right places, and surprisingly flattering along the leg, and just the right amount of stretch- watch to see how I took these @miladyssa jeans from work to the weekend. Which look is your fave?

What a way to turn a week around: early Friday eve

What a way to turn a week around: early Friday evening swims, warm breezes, Aperol Spritzes and @pizza.shed outside. (And a few guttural screams into the waves for good measure). Thank you @jaclynclare1 for always bringing light and love 🫶🏼

The first peek at what we got up to at the @miladyssa denim shoot: four body shapes and four perfect fits! I’m wearing the “wide leg stretch denim jeans”, and they’re 👌🏼👖#partnership
