we love ~ fitness by the sea

Be it Summer or Winter, I love to exercise outside; the gym can be fun, but nothing beats exercising in beautiful surroundings.
I generally run about 6kms about 4 - 5 times a week, and my current favourite spot is the the Promenade in Sea Point. It really is a runners paradise, and and at any time of the day is filled with people running, walking their dogs, pushing their babies in prams, power walking and any other kind of exercise you can think of - I even saw a guy practicing some form of martial arts last week!
However, I recently injured my back sand boarding so for the last couple of days running has been out of the question - but luckily enough I have a special friend who happens to be injured too and so we've taken to 'power walking' the 6kms together, Vida-E coffees in hand. Its actually so much fun, and a rather nice substitute for the running although I can't wait to get back into it!
Anyway, enough rambling, here are some pictures of the beautiful scenery I am lucky enough to see everyday if I so choose :)

Love it - the lady matches the light house :)

What Shall I Wear Today? - velvet and chiffon

I have just gotten back from a wonderful run on the promenade in Sea Point, and it truly is another beautiful summers-day-in-winter in Cape Town today. This being said - of course the day called for shorts :) I paired my favourite pair of high-waisted velvet navy shorts with a cute chiffon blouse in navy and white. I then added a tan belt to compliment my tan moccasins (I hardly ever wear them, but they are so comfortable, I definitely need to get more use out of them).
I'm sure by now you all know I am absolutely in love with navy blue, it's just such an easy colour to wear, day or night, and looks sooo nice with tan accessories :)
