As told by the girl with curls
I'm back! Sorry for the lack of posts lately. From now on, I have decided to write one blog post every two weeks. Postgraduate university life is becoming a lot more stressful as we start to approach our major deadlines and tests, leaving me with very little time to clear my head, sit down and create a …
Autumn is my favourite season in Cape Town. The sky is crystal blue, the weather is neither too hot nor too cold, there are a lot less tourists and you're not blown over by a gust of wind every two seconds. It's also a great time of year to dust off my beloved trench coat and …

We are so fortunate to be surrounded by breathtakingly beautiful estates, so there is often ample opportunity to grab a few friends and 'wine' down. Last weekend, I was spoilt by a friend, who so kindly invited me to an open …
Tis' the season to dress up in pink, eat chocolate and buy overpriced flowers. Whether you're celebrating the upcoming Valentine's Day with a special someone, or hitting the town with the girls, I thought I'd post a few outfit ideas to help you channel your inner Valentine. I always find Forever New to be a perfect …
I recently purchased Niomi Smart's new cookbook, Eat Smart. I absolutely love it! The cookbook is full of unique, plant-based recipes. Although I do not completely follow a plant-based diet, I eat very little meat, so I find these recipes useful. They are delicious and it's a challenge and great fun to experiment with these …
