Smiley Faces

This past weekend was the Cape Town Electronic Music Festival.. I went both nights. Was a bit of a crazy weekend, but now I can happily go back into hibernation and sunday adventure mode :) These pics were taken before I had put my face (make up) on.. ugh! but this is what I wore on one of the nights.. smileys, shoulder cut-outs and dip dyed denim.

Motel Rocks Polkadots

Found this perfect Motel Rocks dress at The Lot. I'm not usually one for tight dresses but this particular one has a high neck and colourful palm tree/dolphin prints... love! It goes perfectly with a statement neckace and a slouchy vintage shirt.

Where Father meets Daughter

This holiday, whilst paging through the January SA Elle, I was very excited to spot one of my Dad's products! This vibrant yellow PaddleYak Kayak seen in the pic below! It was great to see the use of one of his Kayaks as a prop in Elle's beach-bum fashion spread. However don't just stand on these Kayaks with your takkies on! Get your toes wet! These awesome kayaks are a lot of fun to paddle in the waves with the salt water and fresh air rushing through your hair.

A Thumbs-Up to Dad for Great Design!

(See below for Kayak Design Award details.)

The PaddleYak Gypsy (the metallic aqua craft) is a compact, all-rounder, sit-on sea-kayak. It is a more compact version of the PY Swift Hybrid Adventure Kayak (the white craft), PaddleYak’s flagship and a SABS Disa Design Award Winner as well as an Itown Design Award Winner.

Tropical Mania

Prints are everywhere! This vibrant, fun and out there trend is my favourite this season and there are no rules! Pair your palm tree/fruity/floral prints with bold one colour items, black, white, soft earthy tones, pastels or denim.. anything goes. A popular trend is to mix and match these paradise prints or even to clash them with other trendy prints such as animal, geometric and baroque prints.. there really are no rules. The more experimental and fun the more of a bold fashion statement you'll make :) I'm off to go piece together some tropically fun outfits.. happiness!
