I just saw Invictus with my brother. Oh my word, as a South African this is the greatest movie ever. You won’t believe how much this movie, and the actual ‘95 World Cup victory meant to our country. I loved it! (And don’t listen to the New Zealand fans who reckon the game was rigged and the players poisoned deliberately—they’re just sore losers). Great movie though, much better than that over-hyped-up Avatar! I’m impressed that Hollywood took it on. Maybe America will pick up on this real man’s sport now!
Anyway, to design and fashion!
Here are some items of clothing I’m particularly liking at the moment [click thumbnail for larger image]:
Sweater from Aztec Rose. I got it for NZ$20 (original price NZ$105!). It looks light, but is very warm. Too bad it’s summer and I can only wear it on rare occasions.
This was a fairly cheap item I bought at some random store at a random mall. But I love it!
These pants were worth NZ$129, I got them for NZ$49. Yus! They’re gorgeous little business pants. And like heaven to wear—they have silk lining!
This shirt was a design of my own. I bought a cheap coral-coloured t-shirt, chose some lyrics (”Love me do” by the Beatles) and because I don’t have a sewing machine, I went to an embroidery store and had them attach the letters. Took no time at all and hardly cost me a thing!
I ordered some postcards from Courtney Brims’ website. Really cheap! Here they are:
And I FINALLY got my Smashbox Lipstick in Nude (Charming)!!. So exciting! Getting it online cost me half the price of what I could have paid retail!
And thus ends my shopping spree!
PS: I really, really want this house! Oh, it just soooo “me!”

Words cannot even begin to describe how much I adore the “Love Me Do” top—what a clever creation; I adore the fact that you designed it yourself. And that lipstick—one can never go wrong with nude!!
