Can’t believe my matric dance was a year ago…

Designing and shopping for the outfit was so much fun! I originally chose a turquoise blue, but my friend chose that too. So, having already bought the blue jewelry I chose an Ivory white dress (Duchess satin with chiffon), with silver embroidery with blue swarovski crystals in the detail. I wore silver stiletto’s (12cm) to be a reasonable height next to my towering partner (friend from school – we could only take partners from within the school – he asked me in grade 8!), silver sequined clutch to match my silver sequined butterfly in my hair, big blue earrings and a matching ring, with 3 diamante bands on my upper arms for uniqueness and a Grecian look.

My dress..

Had a professional photographer at my house…This is one of the pics..

Def needed that champagne at Ross’ house..my sis took this pic with her cam.

At the entrance..

Theme was swan lake..

All the matrics went on huge buses to the after party.. This was mine and Tara’s after party outfits..only pic I have, sorry.

Ross and I at the fashion show the next day..we were all dead tired – had to be at school at 8am, went straight there from the after party hah!

I had so much fun on the actual night I ended up taking my shoes off to dance

A year later I wouldn’t change one thing about what I wore..

You can see my thousands of pics including the photographer ones on my facebook page – it includes all the other girls outfits. If I don’t have you on facebook – add me.

I. AM. INLOVE.

 At almost all of our family occasions we’ve always had cakes and things from Charly’s Bakery but I had never been there. I’ve even seen the building..how sad?..

On Thursday morning Gabrielle and I decided to visit Charly’s Bakery. Now this was my first time. I know, like, who hasn’t been there already??

We had cappuccino’s. Good, but not the best I’ve had (maybe I went on the wrong day?). The foam on top was delicious though! I loved the look of the place, the laid back feeling, the smell of the bakery that’s literally behind the counters and receiving service with a smile! The creativeness of Charly’s is like no other – that’s why I took pictures to show you.

The building

The cappuccino’s

Those cakes!

The wall of fame – Pictures of all their cakes that have been showcased in Top Billing, O mag, etc. Oprah’s even been there.

After that caffeine boost, Gabz and I were ready to take over the world!

Lately I’ve noticed that I’m often at these places and should blog about it more. Cape Town  is so breathtakingly beautiful!! I’m so proud to be a suburban traveller :p

So if you in Cape Town, visit Charly’s Bakery!!! Also, their cakes are to die for! Lovely for weddings, baby showers, birthday’s,etc!

So, I’m doing an updated post on this event because the birthday girl gave me the photographers pics Better than my crappy cellphone ones.

On Saturday the 6th of March was one of my best friends birthday party at the Crystal Towers Hotel. I had no clue what to expect – I’ve never been to a party at a fancy hotel, I’m used to braai’s and house parties (Bear in mind, I’ve just finished matric).

As out car pulled up outside we were escorted in by the hotel management looking ever so slick in their ‘men in black’ suits. As soon as Gabrielle and I entered the reserved section where Perla was, I was like ‘yoh’. Dark orange lights, crystal chandeliers, red and black sofa’s and of course the birthday girl looked amazing! Soon the Cosmo’s started heading our way. We chatted, laughed, ate sushi, sang happy birthday and took many photographs. All in all a brilliant evening! The Moleka family are such down-to-earth people. I’ve known them for so long and whenever I see them they make me feel at home.

Afterwards we were on our way to town in taxi’s to party the night away – woop woop :p

Got a few pics to show…

Towards the end of the evening champagne arrived with the birthday cake – so cute!

                                                                     Make a wish!

The reason why I’m doing this post is because if you refer to my first ever post, I mentioned I’d be doing updates about exciting events as well as posts on things that interest me regarding fashion – well this was a glamorous event – had to show it to everybody. Plus everybody looked stunning.

I’d like to say thanks to Jasna (FashionJazz) for my FASHION BLOGGER award! You can visit her awesome fashion blog at http://www.fashionjazz.co.za/

Have a lovely day

1:Over-the-knee-boots

If you don’t have a pair, get a pair…SOON!

Try getting the boots in a neutral colour that goes with most of your clothes. I personally love the black, like these Stella McCartney ones!

2: Leather, leather, leather. Anything leather. Pants, leggings or jackets.

3: Bow blouses are in! I think they’re pretty cute!

Already bought my white bow blouse

4: Ripped denim or ripped tights

From Balmain

5: One-shoulder dresses and tops

I have a similar top – yippee! Wear one-shoulder tops with your leather pants or jackets. The one-shoulder dress will look great with stockings and a trench. One-shoulder is amazing in floral.

6: Military jackets or waistcoats

Kinda Michael Jacksony…but I like it!

7: Checkers and loose clothing

8: Floral

Vintage floral is stunning. I love that you can wear it with ankle boots, stockings and killer heels or knee-high boots.

9: Layered necklaces

Get all those pearls and vintage necklaces out from that old jewelery box!

10: Hairstyle: Plaiting is really fashionable. It looks neat and a bonus is that there are so many different plaiting styles. Go crazy!

Winter here in South Africa is going to be a super stylish one.
