SPRING FLING


Spring is in the air and this means that we can dust of our sandals & stilettos and get our floral summer dresses out from the back of the closet.

To me, spring is a time to celebrate our femininity and I do this by wearing a lot of soft fabrics with floral prints.

Spring is also a time to be a little rebellious as spring give us permission to be a little crazy. So don’t be afraid to mix your prints or to wear red and pink together! …Don’t be scared to go out in something other than a little black dress. (florals & light colours can be a winner at night)


Go out & celebrate spring, life and new beginnings!

Shower me with Shoes

I am not ashamed to admit that I am a total shoe addict, I have countless pairs and no space to put it and still buying more and more…and more…

This post was inspired by a gift I received last week: I got home one day after work to find a beautiful box with the name ‘ERROL ARENDZ’ on waiting for me. My heart skipped a couple of beats and I opened the box to find the most amazing and beautiful pair of nr 5 wedge sandals waiting to be tried on. SHOE EUPHORIA!!! …Now, I have been a fan of Errol Arendz, and his footwear in particular, since I can remember so this gift came from none other than my sister/best friend(she knows me best). I will be forever in her debt for buying me my very first Errol Arendz pair of shoes.

You would think that this is a once in a lifetime kind of thing but I think shoe karma favoured me as this is not the first time I received dream footwear I didn’t have to pay for.

About two years ago I got a call from a lady (fairy godmother) telling me that I won a voucher at Europa Art worth R 2 500!!! Normally the R 2 500 voucher at Europa Art means that you can buy about ONE pair of shoes. But, as I said, shoe karma: My sister and I went to Europa art in the middle of a shoe sale and left there with  4 (YES FOUR) pairs of exquisite and beautiful shoes! (3 pairs for me and 1 pair for my sister).
Had the shoes not been on sale the total amount would have been R 7 760. !!!
Call it shoe karma, call it dumb luck or even call it faith I don’t care…

As long as I have shoes on my feet I will walk to the next shoe store!

The Steve Madden wedges weren’t a freebie, I actually paid for it but there are two reasons why I included the photo:

* They were on sale so I paid a lot less than usual.
* They are EXQUISITE!
