INSPIRASIE OP 'N MOOI DAG SOOS VANDAG...

Wel, met al die dol dinge van die lewe, het ek myself weer kans gegee om bietjie inspirasie te soek... Daar is niks so ongelooflik soos om in een prent of foto soveel kreatiewe idees te kry nie.

Hierdie foto het my laat dink aan die saligheid van somer... om met 'n sagte somersrokkie in die tuin te stap en die son op jou vel te voel... iets wat ek ongelooflik baie gemis het deur die winter.

Ek het nie woorde nie... ek is 'n herfskind, dis my beste tyd. Dis asof die natuur met my praat en my soveel gee om mee te werk, die kleure wat verskyn soos elke boom verjaar.

 Dis ongelooflik mooi!

 My ideale huis in my kop, vandat ek nog 'n klein dogterjie was, was ene met so balkon, en toegerank met 'n plant...

Die jeans, die t-shirt, die sonbril en die hoed maak van die 'n baie cool en unieke foto...

Die kleure in die foto het my dadelik getrek. Ek is aml oor die blou/ turqoise, met die rooi bruine. dis 'n "stunning" kombinasie!

My liefde vir teken... Ek moet begin tyd maak vir my kuns!

What you will find in store that is amazing!

I surfed the net to see what will be in different stores this summer... and they left us with a bunch of cool outfits!

Pure cafe, Pretoria

One of my favourite places in Pretoria ( South- Africa) is a little cafe in Colbyn called Pure... The owners of the restaurant had a dream of opening their own restaurant and it finally happened. They started by renovating an old neglected corner cafe, and it has been up and running for 4 years already. The idea was to give their customers "honest, pure food" which I believe is the key to their success!

Pure specializes in Freshly made deli-style foods, that includes breakfast, lunch and Pretoria's best cuppachino's! Because the Pure crew take so much pride in their products and business, they roast their own coffee beans! They also have freshly baked products such as; Italian Ciabatta, Rey- bread and the most amazing cakes, every day!

Dishes include items like smoked salmon omelettes with avocado and lemon zest cream cheese, French toast with chopped almonds and maple-flavoured syrup, a salad with marinated biltong, avocado, parmesan shavings, pumpkin seeds and rocket, cheeky chicken livers, delicious wraps and pasta dishes like a creamy anchovy and broccoli pasta with a hint of garlic and chilli.

A personl favourite item on their menu is the Strawberry Fields Forever quencher! It is a strawberry, berry and mint smoothy, with a extra suprise at the bottom of every glass! That part I will leave to you to find out what it is!

Pure is really an amazing one-of-a-kind restaurant, which has much to offer to the taste buds!

oppikoppi

The first time I heard about Oppikoppi was in Highschool, and everyone promoted it to be the appefiny of Sodom and Gomora, everyone warned us about it, and said it was just for the druggies and dirty hippies... well, as my father told me on my 21st birthday, "Experience everything, and keep all the good things you experienced." So my first Oppikoppi was in 2009. We went with a broken tent, little food and a lot of alcohol. While I was in aahw with this mysterious place and all the ineresting and unique people I could'nt help to judge the people that warned me a little, because most of then never attended Oppi and they had no foot to stand on... even though there were some really dirty hippies, tripping on some kond of drug, the majority people were just like me. they were there for the music, the festival vibe and to have a good time with their friends...for a oppikoppi virgin I was hooked on the feeling of the youth coming together from all ove rthe country and just spending 4 days as a unit, all singing and dancing to the same songs, I had a sense of freedom and the bosveld fire's inspired me to attend the next year.. Oppikoppie, sexy crooked theeth. 2010. This year was one of my favourites... my 3 best friends were there and every day was filled with funny moments with weard  props and even wearder people. This year I was busy with my btech and I had to do research at Oppi. My most imspiiring ideas was born here. The youth went through a free stage in their fashion sense and the different style combinations would have blown any young designers mind! The 60's was the trend and every free person was embracing it! This year was very different to the others, in the sense that I felt liberated! I felt part of the Oppikoppi family and everything that it stood for. I believe Oppi has a huge impact on the youth and for only a couple of days, different genders, cultures, personalities, ages and  stereo-types come tohether en peace and celebrate the music as one! I salute the organisers of Oppikoppi for achieving what the government has been trying to do for so long! creating peace and unity amongst people in South-Africa!
