Keeping cool by the pool in Tiffany’s from Sunglass Hut

Ah we’ve had a beautiful summer. It’s been cooler than usual but not complaining, it’s been warm too. Have you had a good time? Were you visiting CT? What did you get up to?
Spent yesterday at Clifton after going for an 8km run/walk on the promenade with MEJ. Swam and everything! No sharks, happily. Ice cream headache but it felt sooooooo good.
Loving the early summer before the tourists all arrive. Getting a good start on the base tan. Us C-towners gotta make the most of it before season starts.
As winter arrives, what better excuse to get on a plane and find some summer? Majorca, darling, or Marrakesh. Perhaps a spot of Cannes. So don’t pack away those kaftans just yet. And why not pick up a pair of Espadrilles – imported from Spain – for only R99 - from dealio?If you feel me, you’ll feel me. Click here.
This is a fun little behind the scenes video from the Marie Claire Naked shoot. Check out Marie Claire’s blog for more. Remember it goes on sale next week. Get it!!
Hurricane Vanessa posted somepreviews of the Marie Claire Naked Issue, coming out next Wednesday 16 February. We’re in it along with two of our favs – Kim Gray and PopYaCollar’s La Muse. We had great fun shooting this – we actually shot it twice! And we had a very enthusiastic car guard watching our, um, cars. The doggy in the pic belongs to photographer Mark Cameron, and her name is Viva. She’s husky cross Golden Retriever, and just the sweetest thing ever. Just look at those fluffy paws. The Marie Claire Naked Issue is in aid of the SPCA, and since we are a HUGE fan of beasties here at CTG (whippet updates, Cape Town Cat), we’d love it if you supported it.
We had a great summer. Apart from The Great Separation when PD was in Dubai and LA was in Japan, we spent a lot of time on the beach. We got a lot of sun, and we swam. We discoveredPiz Buin Active Spray, which is non-sticky and doesn’t come off when you sweat (discovered that while running with it on – if you’re into outdoor exercise you’ll know how important this is, and how suntan lotion in the eyes can make you cry like a baby – not attractive). We read some great books – Born To Run and Up In The Air – dedicated reviews to come. But for now let’s just do a bit of a beach round up.

Glen again. Or Llandudno? It becomes a beachy blur...
