Your go-to for feminine style inspiration, featuring fashion that you'll actually wear. 📍 Cape Town

A wholesome Saturday morning featuring icy tidal p A wholesome Saturday morning featuring icy tidal pool swims, new friends and chai lattes…and the tiniest glimmer of spring in the air!
What happens when you combine a friend with great What happens when you combine a friend with great taste + the ability to see potential in items with questionable hanger appeal? Watch to find out! I raided @susie_leblond_flourish_farm’s closet (or rather; she made me try on things I would never normally considered) - and, well, I’m ok admitting I was wrong. Also one of these dresses is not being returned to her.
Absolute ✨magic✨ - first time seeing biolumine Absolute ✨magic✨ - first time seeing bioluminescence and I completely lost my mind.
Something old, something new! I’m slowly embarki Something old, something new! I’m slowly embarking on a new style era (will share more soon) - and, this denim waistcoat is a small step into that. A little braver and bolder for me - showing my arms, too - but, paired with an old favourite - this tiered skirt from @queensparksa that you’ve seen countless times before (swipe for a reminder that wearing and rewearing the clothes you love is something to be celebrated, not ashamed of!)
While I’m not-so-patiently waiting for spring, I While I’m not-so-patiently waiting for spring, I’m making the most of cold days in the Cape and seeing out the (hopeful) last days of winter with a few closet favourites and classics: @hm coat and jeans, @froggie.shoes loafers, @bringyouremotionalbaggage tote.
For decades, I only wore padded bras. Like so many For decades, I only wore padded bras. Like so many people, I was fitted at Woolies, took a t-shirt bra and thought “I suppose this is as good as it gets” and went on with life. It’s only been in the past year, after being properly fitted by @lizacliffordbrafittingstudio - and finding out I’m actually a 32FF (and not the 42B Woolies had measured me as!) that I’ve had the confidence to wear unpadded bras. Lacy ones! Pretty, colourful ones! I was a paying customer at @lizacliffordbrafittingstudio - and truly can’t recommend the team enough. It’s a private studio, one on one - not a retail space, so you’re guaranteed the attention you and your boobs deserve. It’s an hour and costs R350, which is deducted from your purchase if you buy a bra from them (which you don’t have to do). It is LIFE-CHANGING. You deserve great boob days 🫶🏼
Going through my camera roll recently, it seems as Going through my camera roll recently, it seems as though ‘green’ is making quite the impact in my wardrobe at the moment. From olive to emerald, teal to chartreuse, swipe through to see my faves - everything is tagged 💚
While I’d like to say this is about the dress (a While I’d like to say this is about the dress (a gem of a winter find from @me_and__b), it really is all about the teeny, tiny horse I spotted on the way to lunch on a special weekend “in the country” with an equally special friend.
I hate going to the mall - and, if have to go thro I hate going to the mall - and, if have to go through the horrors of terrible changing room lighting, you can be sure I’m going to bring you along for moral support. A peek into what I collected, what I returned - and what I found (you might be surprised!) Featuring @mrpfashion | @uniqclothing.sa | @exact_clothing
First time in the ocean in almost two months - and First time in the ocean in almost two months - and goodness me, it was restorative. Still icy cold, but a much-needed hit of dopamine and a bit of a mental reset after the wild past few weeks. I could not be more ready to put this winter behind me and welcome in a new season (literally and figuratively!)
The challenge? Style four looks with four pairs of The challenge? Style four looks with four pairs of @froggie.shoes’s new python range. The verdict? They’re a neutral you didn’t realise your wardrobe needed. Surprisingly, the loafers were my absolute favourite - so different from my normal style, but so comfortable and perfect for the office or weekend. Let me know in the comments which look you loved the most?
It’s just me and my @bringyouremotionalbaggage. It’s just me and my @bringyouremotionalbaggage. When you find a local brand that just gets it SO right on every level - branding, packaging, product - you can’t help but share. A fully reversible tote (leather on one side; suede on the other), minimalist and incredibly practical - whether you wear it over your shoulder or on the crook of your arm - it’s truly a “forever” piece for your wardrobe. (The bag was gifted, but this post wasn’t paid for or expected at all, I truly wanted to share the love) 🫒
Today needed a little touch of ✨dopamine✨ so I Today needed a little touch of ✨dopamine✨ so I popped out to @me_and__b for a little lunchtime try-on. Surprisingly, I think the last outfit is my favourite - as well as the blue wrap skirt. Which do you think belongs in my wardrobe? Let me know in the comments!
Taking advantage of a break in the rain, to enjoy Taking advantage of a break in the rain, to enjoy a wander around Kalk Bay and some fresh air - with my @bringyouremotionalbaggage. I’ll share more on this incredible brand soon, but for now - enjoy the perfection of this olive green beauty in action 🫒 #gifted
I’m around! Thank you to everyone who checked in I’m around! Thank you to everyone who checked in (it really is unbelievable having people I’ve never met, care about my wellbeing). The truth is…I got really sick. Really sick. I might share more in the coming weeks, but July was a definite plot-twist healthwise - I will say that the viruses doing the rounds mean business, and I went from being the strongest and fittest I’ve ever been, to being winded walking to the kitchen. But, I’m on the mend and slowly getting back into some sense of normal life again - which includes physio-mandated breathing exercises and fresh air walks ✨

It’s two and a half weeks until @hyroxsa. Am I r It’s two and a half weeks until @hyroxsa. Am I ready? I honestly have no idea. There are still so many unknowns: muscle fatigue on the day, but also the adrenaline! I do know this: training for it now means that I am the fittest and strongest I’ve ever been. I’m going to give it my best shot, but even if I don’t make it - I’m still going to be 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
I’m pretty low-maintenance beauty-wise: only rea I’m pretty low-maintenance beauty-wise: only really getting my hair and nails done, and while I’m not willing to give this up…I am more than happy to save a few 💸 where I can. I tried @boabeautybar for the first time this week and, was honestly - so happy. I went to the Westlake branch (conveniently around the corner from my gym), and paid R255 for gel soak-off and reapplication. 10/10, no notes, I’ll be back.
