Boutique Haul

This weekend I ventured to beautiful Kalk Bay in Cape Town with Pixel Suicide and found some amazing local designer pieces.

First up is this amazing bag made out of soda can tabs! It takes the designer an incredible 14 hours to make just ONE bag. Insane! I love the fact that she’s using these tabs in such a unique way, I’ve seen loads of art incorporate the tabs but I’m really quite in awe of how great it works as a fashion accessory.

Now this jersey stole my little heart! The sleeves and zip detail are made out of pleather and it is oh-so-cosy. With winter fast approaching, I am getting more and more into the wide variety of knits that I am seeing everywhere. Just a pity my ass is broke and I can’t get it all. I think clothes are like my version of pokemon and it is damn expensive becoming a pokemon master.

Speaking of geeky things, I found the most amaze earrings from one...

The Beginning..

b9b3ca2d868803afcb09f0a366b7f872.jpg
I have decided to start a blog for the edgy rock-chic South Africans out there who have to live with the consequence of being in a country that at times can be extremely safe and boring with its fashion. Many a night I have Googled and ogled at the clothes some of our overseas counterparts get to lay their hands on and the envy inside is a little beast I can’t control.

Now some of you might have the moola and balls to import your trinkets from abroad - and for that I envy you just a smidge more. I know for a lot of girls we are put off from importing because of exchange rates and all the horror stories of the parcel going missing, being opened at the post office or worst yet those import duty fees.

So finally, out of frustration, I have decided to make a blog about it. I aim to show you where you can find our elusive style LOCALLY, some great DIY tips to make up for where we are...

Tartan has made its come back in 2014 and is pretty much everywhere you look right now. I really love the playful edgy look they have given this print.
