I thought we could kick this off by jumping into my September TO DO LIST, because as you can remember, I took August off to do nothing or just to chill.  Which I did very well at, but now its back to it!  I’ve started decorating  my room, properly.  Because even though we have been in the apartment for 7 months, it feels like its only been 3 months.   When we moved in, getting the living spaces decorated and sorted was my main priority because those are the places people see when they come over, they are the first impression and we all know these are lasting.  So I needed the first impressions of my apartment to be ‘WOW!’ not, ‘Oh nice spot you have here.’

Well now that that’s sorted, kind of, I feel okay to get stuck into my room.  So if three-quarters of my September TO DO LIST is decor or house related, do forgive me.  Things may get more fun next month, as that’s my birthday month.  Yes.  My birthday turns into a month-long affair!

1. Do fun, unique pendant light DIY for bedroom.
2. Do something with this blank wall.  See pictures below.
3. Start a new photography project.
4. Finally start filming make-up tutorials for the blog and YouTube
5. Take my sister for a date a the Bacon Pop Up Bar.  She loves bacon, but then again, who doesn’t.

TEE: Cotton On       |       CHECKED SHIRT: Jay Jay’s       |       LEGGINGS: Edgars       |       SHOES: Converse All Stars       |       SOCKS: Mr Price       |       GLASSES: Cotton On

On Sunday, Le boyfriend and I decided to have a little adventure day.  But obviously before the adventure comes the dilemma of what to wear for said adventure day.  It was a stunning day in Cape Town yesterday but I just wasn’t in the mood to wear a dress so obviously walked around my room picking different outfits, huffing and puffing about him not helping me choose, all the while he lies on the bed waiting.  Oh the life of a man.

In the end I came out with look, checked shirt, All Stars, distressed tee and hair up (I had just washed it and couldn’t let it run wild, curly hair, no wait frizzy hair, is no joke), a pretty chilled and comfortable option.  Because who wants to be standing on canons in heels.  You never know where adventure day will take you!

Ps, don’t forget about the Eucerin skincare giveaway, here.

Casually YOURS

SHIRT: YOURS (on sale now)      |       VEST: Cotton On       |       JEANS: Woolworths       |       SHOES: Topshop       SUNGLASSES: Cotton On

 

Let me tell you something, I used to be one of those kids/teens that wanted to dress up for almost anything.  I wanted those weird fluffy kitten heeled sleepers Elle wears in Legally Blonde.  I also believed that once i turned 18 I could wear heels everyday and it wouldn’t look odd.

Now, it’s not that I don’t care and don’t like dressing up, it’s just that I like my feet, back and legs, and let’s be honest it’s not always fun or comfortable wearing those art deco heels everyone else is wearing.  I love them for an event were sitting on your arse and having people admire them, is the main event, but walking or standing in them for more than 30 minutes, I’m out.  And miserable.  but don’t get me wrong, I just much rather prefer comfort AND style.  We’re not throwing everything out the window for comfort!

 

If you’re in Cape Town and love this wet weather, you’ll be as happy as a clam.

Have a great week!

YOURS

After a week of silence I thought I would introduce to you my new baby.  Obviously not the real kind, it’s a work baby.  We are currently just selling items on Facebook, but will be moving into markets around Cape Town very soon.

There are some freaking cool pieces, some are vintage others new, but all very cool!  These are just two of my favourites, check out the rest here.

Introducing, YOURS!

 

Ever since Blaire, from Gossip Girl, I’ve been completely in love with clashing prints.  So it was a no brainer to pair these Topshop pants with this Ahmazing floral shirt. I mean, Hello!  It’s hipster Blaire.

 

Go and buy something! Or just like the page to see more updates.

Sometimes I just don’t feel like thinking about putting an outfit together, and those are the days I wear leggings as pants.  Yes, you read that, leggings as pants.  Though I must admit, my one redeeming factor is that the bum is always covered.  This was one of those days.  Also, featuring another one of the coats we are selling.  How cool is it? And so similar to one I covered far too much, at Zara.  It’s ahmazing!

This past week has been consumed by birthday prep for my sister, and YOURS stuff, like, YAY, a photoshoot!  So things will be uploaded soon!

Hope you are all keeping warm on this wintery Cape Town day.
