And it’s a job that I always wanted The last two months in London have been tough. There’s no pretty way to say it. It’s involved lots of interviews and call backs from companies I really didn’t want to work for. I mean venture capital – I barely understand what that means. I didn’t want to be […]
A work outfit
This is a post for when you go to a lot of interviews and you don’t want to look like you’re from the ’90s. Firstly “pants” in the UK refers to what I know as “panties” and not “trousers”. So now that I’m no longer looking for chinos in the underwear isle I can hopefully find a […]
Aubaine at Selfridges
Brunching in leather and eating French – my kind of Wednesday. The main reason I moved to London was so I could wear my brown leather jacket…Well not entirely but I like to be dramatic. The actual reason was so I could finally spend £10 on French toast. (That was joke). Kath and I met up for […]
Maitre Choux and turtlenecks
I might not be able to pronounce ‘Maitre Choux’ correctly but I can eat their pastries pretty well. Also if you didn’t pick up from the title of this blog post it’s still not spring here in London. But the temperature has increased by about 3 degrees which means I no longer need a coat. Yay. We […]
Palm Vaults
Vintage Miami has a new look and it’s in Hackney, east London Ever seen those pink coffee cups with green palm leaves on Instagram? Well if you haven’t then you need to spend more time following Instagram worthy accounts and if you have then you’re looking at Palm Vaults coffee. I fell in-love with the place when […]
Borough Market and pink sneakers
A good weekend consists of food and new shoes There’s so much to do in London it’s a tough deciding where to begin. I’ve used food as my compass – it’s basic biology 🙂 My mission to explore renowned food markets in London began last week at Portobello Road Market and Borough market in Southwark was next. […]
I’m off to a new city
Don’t call me meshuga but I’m moving to London. I love the sun, the bush and South African people but I’ve decided to move to the UK for a change. In about two weeks I’ll be getting on a one way flight to London and right now the craziest part is that I have to fit my […]
Rules of style
There are no rules! During the holidays I lived in shorts, a slouchy tee and a costume. It’s what my uniform and I like it. Does that make me “un-style-ish”? (is that even a word?) Is having a routine and being comfortable so not fashion forward? Is it a bad thing that my style looks lazy? Can […]
Balancing act
Would you believe me if I said these shorts were turning 9 this year? What’s more shocking is that they still fit me. The colour has changed but my feeling for them have remained the same. When I bought these shorts at the tender age of 16 they were probably the most expensive piece of clothing I […]
South Coast exploring
Holidays are for drinking G&Ts and stumbling across places like St Elmos Convent Nothing says ‘holiday’ like accidentally driving into an old convent and hearing a baby scream when no-one else is around. Yes I like to live on the edge (as long as I go home to a cloud bed). St Elmos Convent is a historical […]
