"I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious."
– Albert Einstein
I simply love the indulgence that comes along with having a new obsession. I feel giddy. Frivolous. Like a kid who’s discovered a new found passion for playing in the sandpit. Sure, I feel a tad guilty for getting wrapped up in my own ‘lil cocoon of ‘me time’ - I should really be spending my days saving helpless causes, like the whales or Lindsay Lohan. But, in all honesty I feel that if we didn't indulge in life’s little pleasures, then we would merely be sad little souls who are auto-tuned to work (with NO play). Ugh. No thanks.
We love you Henry!
Bright, quirky tees are all the rage this Summer, so get yourself one of Mr Price’s limited edition Henry Holland t-shirts. They’re slightly eccentric, very very FUN, and, have just the right amount of phwoar to make any girl feel edgy.
The line is aptly named Denim and Tees – We Go Together. The best part is that this is essebtially fashion with a purpose, as R10 is donated to the Red Cap Foundation with every Tee that is purchased.
The tee's are available at Mr Price, and retail from R79.99.
She and Him.
She and Him. Him and Her. THEM.
This enchanting duo is definitely worth listening to - if only for lead singer Zooey Deschanel’s moody tunes and quirky style. She and Him have this innate ability to force me into a state of equilibrium, whereby only pretty clothes and cupcakes are invited. Take a listen to ‘Sentimental Heart’ and you’ll get me.
Show the douche some love.
Bad boys have a way with words. I think it’s their disgustingly good looks and charm, which somehow manages to mask their ghastly personalities and douche-bag tendencies.
Let’s admit it – we somehow end up falling for that guy. The one who never calls, never cuddles, and who never ever walks the appropriate 2 cm behind you. Let’s celebrate the douches, by staring at these yummy men for as long as it takes for someone to pry you out of your happy place.
Boy vs. Girl?
There’s a new girl in town, and she’s mixing things up on the catwalk – as a boy! Casey Legler is the first female to model exclusively as a man, and has already set the tone with a moody spread of non-conformist shots. Think cigars, suits, loose-fitting boyfriend shirts and finely honed cheekbones.
Why should you care? Casey is part of a new set of ‘he or she’ models who are questioning society’s views on gender identity, and what really signifies one’s sexuality. Why stick to the boundaries when living on the edge can be so much more entertaining?
The Mindy Project.
An Indian Girl who manages to eat carbs, deliver babies, flirt with men in bookstores and is refreshingly funny? Do yourself a favour and watch this one.
Truth Coffee.
This one’s for the Cape Town kids! Hop on the caffeine train at Truth Coffee. They make regular stops at hipster land, is the perfect spot for pretty-people watching, and they allow you rock your movember tache with absolutely NO inhibitions. Oh, and did I mention that they make some of the best java in town?
