Fitzroy

Fieldguided's latest collaboration with Fitzroy Boutique resulted in probably the coolest lookbook. So laidback and realistic that you can picture yourself donning all their creations. And how adorable is that little doggy? The cutest accessory ever.

Summer Streetsyle by Cari

Hi there, I'm Cari from Secondhand Beautiful and I've come to say hello while Lauren is away.

When it's cold and wet in Cape Town I find that it is the best time to dream about Summer. I never really appreciate the season that I'm in so right now I am longing for Summer days filled with pastel colours and floral prints. I love perusing street style blogs from across the pond and dreaming about all the lovely Summery outfits I've seen. My favourite street style blog happens to be Stockholm Streetstyle.

Here are my favourite warm weather outfits that I've found :

High-waisted Streetstyle



Electric Yellow



Navy Blouse




Red Dress



Lace Skirt



Maroon



Aren't these outfits just the most lovely? They make me want to buy a whole new Summer wardrobe and a ticket to Europe so that I can stomp around in high heels on the Stockholm streets. If only.

Elize Strydom

Elize Strydom's photos of New York are filled to the brim with colour and make me itch to visit the city of dreams. The Australian booked herself an 11 week stay in the city, rented an apartment in Brooklyn and immersed herself in the New York culture which resulted in these astounding images.

I'd give anything for a garden like these! Wowee. All photos by New York based photographer, Christopher Baker.

It's off to Grahamstown tomorrow morning!

Auditions

Black Cat Auditions from the Life archives. I definitely know a cat or two that should be famous although I doubt the auditions nowadays are as glamorous.

I'm slowly getting excited for my trip to the Grahamstown festival. This time next week I will have already been there for two days. I've started organising the clothes I'm taking (layer upon layer upon layer) and have been planning ahead some blog posts for this space with a few guest posts scattered in between. Expect things to have a slower pace around here until about the 12th to the 13th of July but in the mean time you can always check in on my twitter to see what shenanigans I've gotten up to.
