It’s so ridiculously flamboyantly delicious. So Versace, so fun. Might even break my neutrals obsession for it. Also shot by my Gucci loves, Mert & Marcus. Reminds me of when I was a wealthy hotel heiress, before I spent my inheritance on macarons, iPhone photo apps and sunglasses. Basically the good old days.
All bougainvilleas and crossed colours. Shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot. Reminds me of childhood holidays on the Natal South Coast when mummy dear would hang around the house looking stylish and complaining that the ice caps in the Pimms were melting too fast. Global warming, eighties style. Miss you Natal South Coast.
Check out the video from the VW Date Drive a few weeks back :) Also featured is Tracy McGregor, Dan Nash and Dylan Jack. Check out the other date drive videos live on the website too.
Another shot from the David Sessions shoot. Love this dramatic makeup! Danielle van Cuyck is the artist behind it. You can find her here.
Love them. More of David’s work here. And a few more to come. David is currently back in London, shooting for the international cool kids. Such a pity our local industry is missing out on his talent.
Just got my pics from the shoot I did with David Sessions last month. They are stunning! Still going through them and selecting my favs. Love this one though. To see more of David’s work click here. And check out his facebook page here. More to follow on the blog soon.
Had so much fun shooting with David. Here are some pics. I loved the dramatic makeup we did at the end – quite space age and awesome. Can’t wait to see the final shots. To see David’s work click here.
Big thank you to Danielle van Cuyck for doing makeup and hair.

Just a few snaps from the Cosmo “Queens of Twitter” shoot that happened this morning. It was an honour to be shot with some fabulous twitter personalities, including @laurenbeukes, @styleguideCT, @liezelv and @texxonfire. They dressed me in this fab spangled jacket from Slate, Levi’s Curve ID jeans and these sky-high leopard print heels. Rawr.
Pictured below is @StyleGuideCT mid-shoot, checking out her pics
and with makeup artist extraordinaire @SLKaye after she’d made me pretty :)
It was a lot of fun. The Cosmo ladies are great. I’ll give you guys a heads up on which issue it will be in.
Ran 10kms of this. Quickest 10kms you'll ever run...
Had a very chilled weekend. Still trying to recover from this ravaging head cold so that we can scuba dive. Nearly there girls! Did a lot of shopping. Actually, mostly just shopped. Went for a chilled 10km run on the prom. Ate some sushi with my girl Dave. Pretty much standard weekend then.
Dave. Rocking Chanel shades. For men.
Met a siamese twin pineapple! There are miracles everywhere!
Saw this car in Hout Bay. Only in Hout Bay. The top line says: "Says the audible voice of god"
I really wish I smoked because then this would be a real ’sign’? And I could get overwhelmed by the meaning and magic latent in everything? But I don’t. Sigh.
Spotted my model friend Lauren looking silly pretty in Woolworths. Stunning girl!
Been spotting zebra print everywhere, this Jimmy Choo creation a case in point. CTG is all over the zebra print.
Woolies also rocking the zebra print.
Loving the leather-but-not jacket vibes at Adidas originals. Great for spring.
Also managed to snap up these gorgeous leather summer shoes at Country Road. Country Road is just bursting with delights right now. We went a bit bonkers there.
Also got this trench. From Trenery. Best thing in the store. Light enough for spring, camel enough for next season, and probably the next too.
And then obsessed over this bag. Love the idea of green. Am drawn to it, no doubt because is calm and healing. But had to step away. You have to step away at some point?
Also heard that CTG has made it into the Top 2 in the Best New Blog Category for the SA Blog Awards. Pretty neat! Thank you to all of you who voted for us - we really do appreciate it! The awards are next Saturday 25 september at one of CTG’s regular haunts – One&Only Cape Town. Excited! Looks like I’ll be wearing Dress Number 3 too. Did you have a good weekend? How summery is Cape Town starting to feel? Can’t wait to do the first proper beach day.
