Halloween kisses

Halloween, although big in the states, is hardly a big deal in South Africa.

However, pretty much everyone I know loves to dress up, so Halloween gets her fair share of celebrating, despite that fact that you won't see pumpkins or skeletons decorating any lawns. It's actually mainly the dressing up that we partake in, and that's about it. (Some kids trick or treat but they have to visit quite a few houses as many folk forget to buy sweets as the shops here don't make a fuss over halloween candy)

This year we headed to a friend's beach cottage down in Umzumbe for a  little shindig. I didn't take too many pics, but I did instagram a few...

I baked a batch of angry spider cupcakes

we may not have pumpkins but we do have oranges...

and of course I had to make my nails halloween appropriate

Antlers and Antidotes

Have you heard of Megan from Antlers and Antidotes?

Megs is South African born, but now making her way in London and documenting all the lovely and quirky things she comes across... 

Make sure to stop by her blog for her stylish, somewhat vintage-feel fashion, her beautiful photography (she has an eye for beauty hidden all around us) and for a taste of what this honest and unpretentious beauty gets up to...

Who is Megan?

This is Megan...

I was lucky enough to have Megs be my Secret Santa and was spoiled with 2 divine nail polishes and 3 (yes THREE) gorgeous rings...   

I love them so much and I couldn't have got a more suited pressie. If there are a few items in the world I never seem to have enough of it is nail polishes, rings and shoes... I just increased my collection of two of my obsessions...

Hardcore Honey

I am so excited! The Boyfriend and I have officially booked and paid our deposit for a snowboarding trip to Livigno, Italy next January. But here's the thing... being a Durban girl I have never really been in snow, let along know how to snowboard!

So, recently I got a talk from The Boyfriend. As we are going snowboarding I am going to need to boy up a bit and embrace my inner tomboy. Snowboarding is not for sissies. 

No problem I say!

So here is my first step in the right direction.
