Home sweet home

After being out of the country for a whole month, it feels pretty good to be home. I had the most insanely cool time in the USA and have so many great stories to share with everyone.

Our first shipment will also hit home this week so be sure to pop into the shop in the next few days and see all my wonderful finds. There are some mad crazy treasures. One such treasure is already sitting happily in our bag cupboard – a Vintage Louis Vuitton.

The Chanel’s

Everyone who visits our shop has come to know our high-waisted Chanel trousers rather well. (They are so damn small, very few have managed to fit into them)

We always love to see how they are interpreted in various shoots and they were recently featured on afashionfriend.co.za

Rockstar diaries

I found an amazing blog this weekend. Some of you may already know it, but for those of you who don’t, oh my, it sure is a treat. Its a husband and wife, their little baby, Eleanor and beautiful pup, Kingsley (who has his own diary section!)

Naomi has amazing style, I’m in love with her bold glasses and bright lipstick choices.

Hope you enjoy Rockstar Diaries as much as I do!

We’ve been really quiet on the blog for a while. Totally our bad. The shop has been keeping us SO busy and for a moment, I completely forgot that we even had a blog. (The horror!)

So just to get things back on track this is a picture of Chopper, my brothers cat. He is the biggest cat I have ever seen. You can’t really pick him up he is so heavy. For Christmas, Wes decided to dress him up as a piggy. He was not pleased.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS everyone!
