//148/ Dress: Miss Prinsloo represents



Publication: i-D
Issue: Summer 2011
Photography: Matt Jones
Make-up: Colleen Creighton
Model: Behati Prinsloo



//I will have you know that this adorable girl is South African/Namibian. Behati also happens to be a Victoria's Secret model, is listed 15th sexiest model on model.com, has walked for Marc Jacobs, Prouenza Schouler, Chanel, DKNY and many more, as well as done countless ad campaigns (I won't bore you with the details, but they're all pretty big). Despite all this she is she comes accross as incredibly down-to-earth, would you not aggree?


//On a side note, how great is the large, slouchy Tee?

//147/ Dress: Suit Up

Publication: Elle Sweden
Issue: April 2011
Photogrpahy: Anti Wendel
Model: Bregje Heinen


//The white suit has become very popular of late, and it certainly provides a more interesting alternative to the classical black. I think it is more difficult to pull off for the fairer skinned, but with some killer red lips (and ideally Bregje-facial structure)  it should look fantastic. Ahh yes once again, red lips...I still haven't tried it.

//146/ Cape Town: The Power and the Glory

The Power and the Glory, Cnr Kloof Nek and Burnside Rd, Cape Town


//The Power and the Glory is a quaint Café that is conveniently situated just down the road from me. It serves delicious coffee and chocolate croissants (which in my experience is very rare in Cape Town!) and is the perfect place to take a few drinks in the evening. Also, very importantly, you cannot got there without trying their scrumptious hot dogs!

 //In these photos I visited the Power and the Glory with my genetically privileged friend Maddalena whom you know from here, here and here. Beautiful, stylish, quirky...have you fallen in love yet? ;)

//145/ Dress: New York Minute

Publication: One Magazine
Beauty: Fernando Haddad
Styling: Diana Anreea
Photography: Karin Basilio
Model: Luana Teifke


//This is one of my favourite editorials to date. Notice that the model's face is in no image fully visible which creates a certain mystery about her. Also, I think anything set in New York appeals to me...what is it about this city? And lastly the spring collections of Miu Miu, Jil Sander and Diane von Furstenberg must have something to do with the undeniable style of this spread...

//141/ Dress: Summer of fun

Summer of fun
Publication: Elle France
Issue: March 2011
Styling: Elissa Cannelle Castelbou
Photography: Ben Watts
Model: Marloes Horst


//I was not going to post this on account of its nauseating wholesomeness, but the beautiful Marloes and those minute shorts that strongly resemble the ones I recently purchased persuaded me otherwise. Appart from that, you cannot deny that the styling is simpy perfect, trust the French to get it right!
