flashback joburg fashion week

M: One week to go before Cape Town Fashion Week starts. Can't wait! It makes me remind of the Joburg  edition earlier this year. I remember designers and models stressing out backstage. Or killing their time reading and sms-ing before the can enter the ramp. On the final day of JBFW it was designer Abigail Keats' turn. Great lady; mature collection. Unfortunately I can only shoot her show as it's the first. When miss Keats appeared on the ramp, I rushed back to my laptop for the edit. It's Heni's collection though that blew me away in Joburg. Just loved the naughty schoolgirl look and the styling 'au Pierrot' totally works. Let's see what Cape Town will bring... *Joburg Fashion Week 2011/ For more info: see official AFI website.

mozarella times

M: It's only today on my way from the gym, that I notice this place: Mozarella Bar. My Italian friend Simone waves at me from behind the coffee machine. I quickly pop in for a ginger tee and buy smoked mozarella & parmaham. Mozarella Bar is cappu for R10, clean but comfy interior, Italian guests, healthy food and lots of... mozarella! * Mozarella Bar, 51 Kloof Street, Cape Town

bob still rocks

M: Had one of these lazy nights this week... was couch hanging like Heath, with the TV on but not watching at all. Untill I hear the timeless tunes of Bob Dylans 'I want you'. I look up and realise that I'm missing out on a great movie, a great scene and fantastic track.  *Check it out: 'I want you' in 'I'm not there' by Bob Dylan

hideaway with charm

M: When looking for a truly secluded hideaway not too far from Cape Town, Kommetjie is a winner. We were invited by a friend a while ago and enjoyed our bubbly at the beach. We watched the stunning sunset, fooled around taking pictures and realised that you don't have to travel far for paradise. Hmm... could do with another sweet weekend trip ;). *Kommetjie beach, Western Cape *Dress M: G-Star Raw Correct Line/ Top S: Diesel
