Clumsy Peaches :)

So concerning the fact that I had no camera with me at fashion week on Wednesday, WHO GIVES A RATS ASS ANYMORE :)

I now have spectacular pictures of my beautiful vriendin's (friend's) range that showed on the runway and it's way better than any pictures I could have taken. Here are the looks all inspired by CANDY:



Look 1 : Liquorice Allsorts




Look 2 : Toffee Apple




Look 3 : Ice Cream




Look 4 : Candy Stripe





Look 5: Cupcakes & Donut





Look 6 : THE BEAUTIFUL & TALENTED DESIGNER


Hope this makes up for my stupidity :)
Love you Pietrie Morton!

And love ya'll too xxx

Cape Town Fashion Week

I had the opportunity of attending the fabulous first day of Cape Town Fashion Week in order to support my extremely talented friend, Pietrie Morton, who made the top 20 selection of young graduate designers.

I was BURSTING with pride and excitement as I saw her designs coming down the runway. They were bold, colourful, cute and just exuded everything "Pietrie"!

It was fantastic to see how many supporters came out to see her! Congratulations, my friend, on a job well done :)

There were also many brilliant young designers with their own styles. Some dreamy and romantic with pastels and lace, and some punk rocker-ish with lots of black and leather. All in all, I think the designers are definitely going to take the future of fashion to another level.

LOVE LOCAL TALENT!

Only donwfall and regret of the day was forgetting my camera at home! Grrrr!


Here's a short intorduction to Pietrie and her work inspiration:

Give a little, Receive a lot

It's been a while since I've done this so my writing fingers have dried up a bit.
My life has been so hectic with me having to do 200 hours of practical work for a church as part of my final year of studies, but nevertheless my baby blog has been on my mind all the time.

I just have to let you know how much doing some form of work for your/a community is so rewarding. I have gotten stuck in helping lead Sunday school at a church that I am unfamiliar with, I have been thrown in the deep end by having a bible study with a bunch of grannies, I've been put in a situation where I have to attend soccer matches for underprivileged boys every Friday (and I'm FAR from sporty!), and I have had to attend Red Cross Children's hospital and see sickness and death among kids who have not yet lived out there lives completely.

Talk about a freaking reality check! And although I would love to say that I am exaggerating the extent to which I am constantly being put into uncomfortable positions, sadly that is not the case.
So it may come as a surprise when I admit how much I am actually LOVING my practical!

I guess that dealing with these many things and seeing how God is present in all these situations causes your heart to grow and your view of life to become even more expanded. I love those grannies to death and I enjoy being in their presence and learning from them. I also love being around these boys and supporting them through the one thing that is stable in the unpredictable struggle they call life. I love my new church family at Rondebosch United Church and teaching 4 year olds and 6 year olds about Jesus. Lastly, I love those kids struggling in that hospital and I pray for them everyday. My heart has been broken every single day for all these people, but the way in which it is being put back together is even stronger and more powerful than it was before.

I think I've found my passion in life!

If you ever have a spare minute in your crazy lives, I encourage you to give back to your/a community in some way or another. You will find that you will end up being the one not just giving, but also receiving.

Grace and Peace xxx
