(these are not my parents)

 
(these are)

 

today my parentals have been married for 32 years. what a feat. they are the most amazing parents and people. and i am grateful for them and their love every single day. 

current obsession: satchel bags

 

 

 

 

 

 

when oh when will they be on our shores?

i like bargain shopping too much. (for pretty things mostly)

 

 

 

 

 

 

none of these items were over 200 buckeroos. except the flouncy peach dress. but who cares really. it's pretty.

i smell pretty again

there is this fabulous clearance warehouse in fourways that sells a whole bunch of perfumes, hair products, make up and other goodies for real cheap. my most favourite fragrances ever are these ones from cacheral. during the year, the prices are ridiculously reasonable and then once a year they have a huge sale where things go for mad cheap.

this time last year i got amor amor (the red one), a rad make up bag, a body lotion and a shower gel all in a set for 270 ZARS. go figure.

i popped in yesterday and managed to pick up amor amor and tentation plus the cutest notebooks (as a set) for 200 smacks each.

so now i have 2 brand new perfumes and a place to scribble notes and boys numbers for just 400 buckeroos.

i'm happy.

you should pop in and check it out. for example: those huge l'oreal shampoos they use in salons are going for R150.

they stock clarins, vichy, lancome, redken, ysl and most perfume brands.

cube cosmetics is where it's all happening.

pleasure. x

new things.

 

 

i rescued some gross shelves this long weekend, scrubbed them, covered the shelves in floral paper and made it home for all my recipe books and some other goodies. 

i bought these cute bowls at pick n pay for R16 each. 

and i got new long hair. trying out strawberry blonde (it could even be ginger) for a little while.

fun!

ravi made me do it

another object i crazily desire: the national on vinyl

tom made me do it.

 

current object of desire: arcade fire on vinyl

some fyi: "So for the new album, we had each of the 16 tracks mastered to a 12 inch lacquer and then transferred back to digital format so that the CD and digital version of the record sound just like the vinyl."

LOVE.
