reckless got me phone-less

So,

Last night we graced the Mothercity for a night out on the town celebrating Miss. Ashleigh's 18th birthday which was officially on Friday. Let's get something straight, I had heaps of fun yet the title to this post seems to disagree with my proclamations of a good night. It is true, I lost my phone in the dark bowels of Mercury, but, let us also remember I rocked a Nokia Navigator - have you heard of this creature? No, exactly. Useless cellphone disappeared in a royal manner. Glad to see you go. 

Thing is, although I had fun, today I am mourning the sudden loss of my feminine allure. I am humiliated, mortified even, at my nighttime antics. 

+ Please, if Miss. Jones could possibly influence or teach you anything it would be this:

 EAT BEFORE YOU EMBARK ON WHAT IS COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS A 'NIGHT OUT ON THE TOWN', YOU SAUCY LITTLE CATS

!

I am now going to shower and then, very aptly, shroud myself in some feminine charm as if to rid myself of the dark side of a good time - enough of this 'messing about'.

Thank you, and goodbye.

x!

Here are just a few more snaps from my Struisbaai weekend away, :) It's lovely to see the welcomed return of summertime - I'm sure you, like me, are overwhelmingly excited for the upcoming summer months. Nothing says 'good times' like some sunshine, no? 

Must say a mighty 'wow' for the two Matric dances that happened simultaneously last night. Parel Vallei and Paul Roos really pulled out all stops. I took a quick look at the Paul Roos one, held, of course in their massive gymnasium, to see my beautiful Peg'leg and her date, David. You looked amazing - truly drop dead! Although everything looked top notch and all kinds fancy I'm tenfold glad that my Matric dance was seemingly under-the-radar and relatively 'chilled out' - don't think I could have handled the amount of fuss I witnessed last night! 

Well, I'm all rested up (I went to bed at nine o'clock last night) and ready for this evening. Hope to see my people in full force! 

+ Have a fantastic weekend and remember to:

Stay young

Stay beautiful

Stay stupid 

Love,x

Darlings,
These are just a few photographs from my amazing weekend away with the girls in Struisbaai. Friday evening saw us eat like kings at the local restaurant where these intriguing shots where a'shot. More to follow, don't you worry!
Best of luck for the week - I'm finding it immensely difficult to strive through this stupor. I've taken up The Da Vinci Code - and, as many have reminded me, I do know it is rather dated and was all the vogue in the early 2000s but I was a young thing back then and am therefore getting to it now and I must admit - antique or not - it is fascinating. 

BYE, x!

The Wine Song

Returned and exhausted from our weekend away in Struisbaai - so fun!

This post is well named with regards to this past week, nicknamed 'The Festive Season' as it, of course, contained the ever important 18th birthday of Miss. Peggy de Villiers. Copious amounts of wine were consumed (as one can only imagine) and I even managed to buy myself a fantastic dinosaur ring - which has since become the symbol of EL'cat and my friendship, :)

More photographs of the past two days as well as raucous Wednesday night will follow. Here's one of my favourites of Wednesday though, for now.

Right now, however, I must report to the shower and wash quite rigorously to rid myself of yuckiness.

+ Good luck with the upcoming week! I've just found out, much to my dismay, that I will be attending that thing called school tomorrow which makes me heaps frustrated as my holiday mood is still in full force after this magnificent weekend. However, if this wave of great weather continues I will be obliged to have a great big smile on my face while attending to mundane school work tasks- I hope you'll feel the same :D

It's Peggy's and Grethe's birthday today!

Looking forward to the weekend away in Struisbaai!
Everyone have a wonderful weekend, :)

Happy birthday to Peggy and Grethe - had a lot of fun in Stellenbosch town last night as we celebrated the beginning of your eighteenth year!

This is what's new, Pussycat !

Aaaaah, I am WAY too lucky! I decided to treat myself to some Jeffrey Campbell Cat Tapestry "Litas" and, you know me, I've fallen quick and hard in love.
They arrived in the post yesterday afternoon - when I picked them up at the post office, I was positively beaming!
As you can imagine, these babies (and they are my babies) set me back a pretty dollar, but I've compensated for this by saying that they're my Christmas gift... to myself... for the next three years.
True to form, I put them on, laced them up and shot these pictures yesterday evening. My current good mood has just quadrupled, what with the fact that I got me some snazzy shoes, exams finish tomorrow and Peg'leg celebrates becoming an upstanding citizen of the legal world on Thursday!

I'm rather certain that I had a spiritual experience in the garden the other day.
Not so much now - seeing that the weather has digressed from Spring to instead resemble that abominable shade of grey we all hate so much - but on this day (the day these snaps were snapped), Spring-time was clearly in the air - so much so that you could even SMELL happiness, no lies, I swear it.

I do hope the good weather continues and thus the good vibes along with it :D

TWO SLEEPS - Aaaah, freedom is tangible!

my lion king

Went to see The Lion King on Thursday last week - first 3D film I've seen, really cool! Plus, because I grew up with The Lion King I have a massive soft spot for it! Also, and I am aware how lame this sounds, but for the entire duration of the film I could only think of my darling 'lion king' at home. I'm pictured here holding my bundle of joy, my dazzling gem, my French companion, Nougat.

Luck for the upcoming week - can't wait for Wednesday, eeek!

x!
