WHAT A BEAUTIFUL BOY

Such an immense shock hearing about the passing of a much loved individual, Cole Wickham, early yesterday morning. It's obvious you went far too soon - you will be sorely missed for sure. 

I will always remember our fun times in drama class, Mr. Alpaca and the way you always called me Tupac. The funny way you said Niskerone and how you promised you wanted more than anything to have a Mystics jam with me. History Tour and the time we got drunk in a Moscow hotel lobby and you just incessantly claimed you 'liked my vibe' while I chanting of how cool you were, the impeccably well dressed young man. The manner in which you and Daniel would tease me about certain boys and how I told you I never kiss and tell. I know it to be of no consolation, but at least as is you get to be forever young. I think you actually told me once that you'd sleep when you were dead - well, in that case, sleep tight darling Cole. Be seeing you,x

Here's just a short montage of our time on History Tour last year March:

Also, farewell to another legend: Whitney Houston. Heavy days this past weekend has been; hopefully this upcoming week will be a little more joyous. Love to you all.

DADDY, I WANT A PONY

▲▼

Just a few snaps from the 2012 J&B Met at Kenilworth last month. 

My first time going to this event, definitely going to make a habit out of it for years to come. So much fancy, so many hats, so many cocktails and horses and sun and pretentiousness. Haha, excellent. 

Have a great Friday. Much love,x

HIGH HOPES

Aaah, wish I wasn't such a romantic. That is all. 

And on that note: I LOVE YOU ALL - Happy Thursday!

BAD GIRL$ DO IT WELL

A really fun, impromptu shoot at Dante's house a week or two ago. 

If you haven't yet seen the awesomeness that is M.I.A's new video called 'Bad Girls', please do yourself a favour and watch it here:

My world has been severely changed by this little video, I hope yours will too. I can't understand why so many people (tsk tsk Capetonians) are hating on this new video and just M.I.A in general - she's a visionary! I think this is just my innate desire to Saudi Drift speaking - but seriously, how legit is that?! I liked it so much, in fact, I even have it as my Facebook Timeline cover photograph:

So I figured this post should be entitled something to do with both Roxy, Dante and I as well as M.I.A therefore "Bad Girls Do It Well" - lyrics from the new song and our new slogan (Dante's the girliest) ;)

FIND A JOB (OR DON'T)

TEXTURES

Last night was all kinds rough. Enough said. 

I wish deeply to elaborate - so many stories, so many special people, I just feel slightly zombie-esque at this given moment. Debrief session tomorrow!

SO MUCH LOVE ON THIS SUNDAY,x

FORT COCKS

Adam and I made a FORT!

Just doing what two, average kids do on a daily basis when faced with immense holiday boredom. In between looking for jobs and talking about our feelings, Adam and I built this beaut. However, once completing the project, I eloquently recieved this gem on bbm from Adam (how incredibly cheeky!):

Talking about beauts - have you seen Miss. Mia pulling a Vogue all up in my pea soup pool and Dants baby striking a sassy one - Geez but I love these kids! Also, I think Dante would be especially pleased with the title of this post/ fort. Oh but I try impress.

With literally a R100 left for the entire remainder of the weekend it's Mal Piet for me all the way. Meeting some beautiful people recently in little Stellenbosch town - be one of them? Hahaaaa! 

Have a fabulous Saturday! 

"At least being reckless makes me feel alive"

Love all,

YB&S

WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS

▲▼

Oh my goodness, words cannot describe the feelings of withdrawal I have felt in the last ten days or so! My computer is completely fahked - meaning I can't do a thing! Uploading photographs has proven to be a royal mission consisting of constant reminders of how I've over indulged in free disk space (well, I'm very sorry Mr. MacBook) 

Anyway, as fortune would have it I have a WONDERFUL grandfather that has decided to treat Miss. Jones to a brand new iMac, out of the box and into my little clutches! Boy, but I am a lucky girl. 

Of course (because life is ironic this way) these past ten days have been filled with so much life, death (unfortunately), memories, excitement, FOMO, goodbyes, music, job proposals, events, boys, flowers, cake and a myriad of dramatic disclosures. I have so many photographs to share with you all - just hang on for another day or two! Also; if you have gotten this far, reading my rants, I applaud and thank you. Sometimes I wonder why I write so much on my blog - I never read more than a paragraph on other blogs! 

Here are some tasty little things I'm liking a lot at the moment:

+ I went to the MET!

+ aaaah Audrey, I love ye!

+ Gene Kelly

+ this very happy, very young picture of me ON A BEACH!

+ my dear friend Dante's new, blogspot blog! Follow!

+ Cameo Lover by Kimbra

+ Pa Pa Power by Dead Man's Bones

WEEKEND SOCIALITE:

I hope to see you all in buzzing Stellenbosch town this weekend for all the university festivities! I sincerely hope to stealthily score a glass of wine from at least ten of you! :D

xx!
