Sunshine...

I wore this 70's inspired jumpsuit to a wedding in PMB over the weekend. It was made by a woman I highly respect for her work (ma'am Vicky), she also made my Durban July dress. I just took a picture of Elle MacPherson in a similar retro flared-leg pants and peplum bareback top combo by Etro two days before I had to leave... And this is the wonder she created!








I had an absolute blast looking this bright...

GRIEF


I've recovered from the denial, the disbelief, and slowly reaching acceptance but the magnitude of my pain that's evoked by your absence remains the same. We cannot stop thinking about you as we go on each day...




It is difficult not to seek answers, but that could drive one to insanity because there are none. I'm leaning on God to help me through this difficult time and help me overcome this loss. Your passing has taught me a lesson by re-iterating how short life is, I will make the most of the days that I have left with my loved ones.


BONGANI DHLATHU 20/01/1988 - 27/05/2012

Your smile and face will never fade.
We will continue to carry the memories of you in our spirit and in our hearts, I know we'll meet again some day. xoxo

Miley Cyrus - BMA's 2012

The lady is all grown up... She went shirt and bottom-less to the awards. She wore this Jean Paul Gaultier blazer with an inconspicuous body chain.

I'm not a fan of the shoes, I think she should have opted for a nude or bright coloured platform instead.


The hair gives her that grown up look she was chasing, but not in a good way. It was a risk, just not one I'm a fan of.

Thanx for stopping by.
