Happy Weekend!

It's the weekend at long last and the dreary, grey weather in Cape Town couldn't be more conducive to a relaxed weekend indoors. I am so looking forward to catching up on some reading, watching movies in front of the fire and a long lie-in tomorrow morning. Here are just a few links that I've really enjoyed this week - happy reading!


I'm lusting after these gorgeous, glitzy Miu Miu shoes for my upcoming wedding.

We've moved our wedding date forward, so planning has officially started. I'm also starting to think about my to-do list after the wedding.

I have loved Leonardo DiCaprio since I first laid eyes on him in Baz Luhrmann's Romeo & Juliet when I was 13. Over 13 years later, I'm still obsessed. I can't wait for Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby to hit cinemas in December. Leo is the perfect Gatsby, don't you think?

I recently watched Young Adult and it made me admire Charlize Theron's acting abilities even more. Thankfully she's nowhere near as socially defunct as the character she plays in the movie, if her Life Lessons are anything to go by!

Unsure as to which eyeshadow hue suits you best? Check out this handy colour wheel for help.

I've had lash extensions done before, and they're right at the top of my 'beauty to-do' list for my big day.

I call Cathi my 'beauty bestie' - we met for the first time at a beauty launch a few months ago and we've become fast friends. I'm always in awe of Cathi's effortless style, and loved reading more about her fashion finds.

I am smitten with Dior's Croisette Collection - think a gorgeous bronze glow, aqua nails and sheer nudes on lips, and you've got the idea. LOVE!

My fiancé and I are househunting at the moment and I can't wait to find our dream home and start decorating! I love this bedroom makeover and I'm looking forward to making our boudoir a bit cosier, too.

This week I'm craving: this bag (who isn't?), a scalloped skirt, patterned leggings and a ballerina-esque skirt.

Happy weekend, everyone!
