we love ~ wishlists

Excitement! I am going to Thailand in less than a month for 3 weeks, and I am so unbelievably excited!
Thailand is known not only for its beautiful islands but also for its affordable clothes. Many a shop that have opened up in Cape Town have started by buying beautiful dresses from Thailand.

anyway, the point of this current post is not to make anyone jealous, but to show you my wish list I am putting together for my shopping spree I have planned for our last 3 days in Bangkok....

Desperately want to add a coral jumpsuit to my wardrobe!

lots and lots of summer dresses will be purchased

for this summer season - a vintage-style black 1-piece swimsuit .... dying for one!

one or two or 3 pairs of gorgeous heels

flowy dresses for those summery nights out on the town (love the pleats in this one)

a pair of high-waisted cream shorts, they look so chic on summer days especially with tribal print or black flowy tops

we love ~ summer trends 2011

This post is a collection of the trends and activities I believe are a necessity for the upcoming summer of 2011, I can't wait! :)

Any form of denim is a wardrobe must-have, especially denim dresses or shirts! | parties, nights out and good times with friends are most important | a little bit of formal attire for those nights out on the town <3



Add some adventure to your summer days with exciting activities | a pop of colour makes an average outfit eye-catching | ensure some special memories are made with those special friends in your life | cake! everybody needs cake :)



Cocktails on a hot summers evening is the perfect way to end a hot summers day spent on the beach | chunky heels for those warm sultry nights out dancing the night away are just right | beautiful, feminine hair accessories add sparkle to any outfit.

Days spent hiking, walking, or playing games on the beach are the best when spent with friends and family <3

This summer, not only are jumpsuits hot hot hot, but so are polka dots! get them, in any colour! | add that feminine touch to your dresses (or shorts or skirts or tops) with a touch of lace

leopard print (obviously) | and summer evenings by the sea <3

pleats are so beautiful this summer, not only in black but pastel colours especially | flowers make your home/work look and smell beautiful and brighten up any mood <3

prints are gorgeous this summer in tops and dresses | gladiator sandals are an obvious must-have :)

What are your must-have trends for this summer?

1 x Jumpsuit Please!

I have been so lazy, and for that I apologize girls J

Okay ladies, before I go on and on and on about how much I want one... let me clarify something. The title of this post is actually a little off the mark. I say jumpsuit – you hear ‘romper’.

Jumpsuit, romper....? Huh?

Okay so simply: a jumpsuit is a ‘jumper with pants whereas a romper is a jumper with shorts.

The jumpsuit/romper is here to stay for 2010 and I’ve already snagged myself a vintage floral one from an amazing vintage shop in Observatory in Cape Town (next to Zion ant the end of Milton Street). I am now on the lookout for a strapless dark floral one, so keep your eyes open for me girls! J



Love Kourtney's floral romper!

A black piece is extremely flattering.

As Kristin knows too :)



The jumpsuit gives a tall, lean and slimming look – something we ALL want! Take a look at Jumpsuits and Rompers: How to Wear and Choose This Trendy Item for You to find a jumpsuit [romper] that will suit your body type and help you decide where to wear it.

Rompers were all the rage at Rocking the Daisies this year. Keep a look out for my next post on ‘Fashion at the Daisies’.
