Tomorrow’s Valentine’s Day and I’m over the moon

Tomorrow’s Valentine’s Day and oh my goodness I’m so excited! Yes it’s commercialized and yes you’re suppose to treat everyday like it’s valentine’s day – when with you partner BUT come on – even if you don’t like Valentine’s Day, you must at least like the love it represents!

I’m such a hopeless romantic – everybody knows this!! (Including my bf!) Therefore I celebrate this day like it may well be my last, because let’s be honest with each other – when can a grown up woman wear head to toe Pink/Red and not get strange looks? Only on Valentine’s Day!

This year I’m going at it in full force – I even got my colleagues to share in the excitement. (Against their will, but nevertheless – they are partcipating!)

So, to all the people out there who doesn’t necessarily appreciate this money making commercialized day, THINK twice – you won’t be getting this much chocolate on any ordinary day!

Happy Valentine’s Day!
Love,
J

I Love you, Cape Town and have a Crush on you, Promenade

I think everybody who lives in Cape Town, loves Cape Town – there’s just NO other way!

I have to give credit to my BFF Z1 though – without her I would not have grown to love the Mother City as much as I do! She took me to various coffee shops, restaurants and Markets {I’m starting to notice a weight gain pattern here Z1!?} which I immediately fell in love with; I took my family, friends and Boyf – to share with them the beauty in which we are surrounded!

The one place I came to LOVE is the Promenade – if you’re from Cape Town, you’ve been there! Although you’ll find a rather large number of joggers, strollers and Rollerladers you will soon come to notice the Beauty the Scenery offers!

I strongly suggest you take a stroll down one of the most beautiful ‘walkways’ in SA!

LOVE: Vera Wang – I just love her.

Besides Sex and the City (of course) – there’s something (or rather someone) else I love…no; he’s not hot, nor a Guy. She is Called ‘The magnificently Talented Vera Wang’!

Vera Wang first caught my eye when interviewed on the Oprah Winfrey show when she launched her Bridal Collection (the more ‘affordable’ one they mentioned), but after digging deeper I got rather fond of Mrs Wang and NOW I am just in Love.

Kim Kardashian will be walking down the aisle in less than a week (20 August) in one of Wang’s designs – (I’m certain) looking stylish and Glamorous all at once; so I thought – why not share some of my favourites.

Here you go; enjoy!

I LOVE THIS ONE - I love anything with a bow!!

I think I'm starting to see a pattern here - Boob-tube, big at the bottom and ribbon.

Not at all Over the Top but BEAUTIFUL!

LOVE: The possibility of Sex and the City Coming back to a TV Screen near you!!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS – Your eyes are not deceiving you; man: I.AM.EXCITED! [Happy Dance.]

There are very few things in this world I love more than an episode (or marathon – either way works) of Sex and the City! Now the news of a possible new Season broke and it might send others – like me – in somewhat of a FRENZY!

It is rumoured that we can rather expect a Season than a Movie – It might be because of all the negative criticism the second SATC movie received. [Sad face - cause I rather enjoyed it!]

Well – Season or Movie; I will most DEFINITELY be watching. You can not NOT watch a something all about LOVE, FASHION and LIFE! As the Famous Carrie Bradshaw Says, “LOVE – now that is ONE LABEL that will NEVER go out of style!” I agree!!

Thus I started this Feature: All Things Pretty

I hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed looking for them…ahhhh…the prettiness!

Ahhh..all the lovely patterns..LOVE

Something old, something new, something Borrowed, something BLUE.

New.York.City - The love of all things Fashion and Pretty

LOVE AND LOATHE: Christian Louboutin designs INSANE Ballerina Heels

SIT DOWN – well you won’t be able to stand in this pair of custom designed 8 inch Louboutin Ballerina shoes Mr. Louboutin made for the English National Ballet- THE PURPOSE: To be auctioned off at the ballet’s “Summer Party” in London.

Do you think it's high enough?

Why I love and Loathe this not-suitable-for-walking-standing-wearing-or-frankly-anything pair of shoes is beacause it’s for a good cause and come on; be honest with yourself. There is very little Christian Louboutin can do wrong in the eyes of any fashion lover!

LOVE: ALL White Seating Area

I came across this BEAUTIFUL All White Seating Area Image – I’m not sure which one I love more; the white Chandelier or the Colourful books in the white bookcase – difficult decision I must say!

Oh, please please be MINE!!??

So, after examining the image a bit further I decided I like everything about this seating area – the white provides me with such a clean, open feeling and the books touches on my nerd factor – which I adore!

I would suggest some sort of rug for the white floor though – just to break the white floor and chair vibe it has going on there – other than that – Welcome Home!!

At least I know of one friend who will, one day have an all white living space – so I can live out my dreams there!!
