Issue: Summer 2011
Photography: Jenny Gage, Tom Betterton
Styling: Benjamin Sturgill

//In respect to editorials there has been a distinct lack in anything inspiring lately. But beach and summer wear is always easy and likable, so enjoy. In other news, I have been photographing all over Berlin, a city full of inspiration. Watch this space.

//158/ Cape Town: Last Impressions

Milner & Hillside, Tamboerskloof, Cape Town

//I have in fact arrived in Berlin safely, but the city has been lapping up my time, energy and various other resources so much that I have not yet had the time to develop the photographs I have taken. I therefore leave you with these images that are from just before I left. Hopefully the coming week will see me returning to normal posting patterns...

//156/ Peroxide Blonde

Peroxide Blonde, Tamboerskloof, Cape Town

//I have been putting this off for a while now but I made a promise so here you go: me in blond. I have since had my hair done again and it is now shockingly blond, though more Malibu Barbie than etheral white-blond. Nonetheless I can now confirm that it is true what they say...blondes do have more fun.


//At this point I would also like to thank my readership, which is not only larger than I would ever have expected, but also surprisingly multi-cultural. Thanks to you the Peroxide Blonde now has 10 388 views, the most from South Africa, France and Germany, but also from the USA, the UK, Russia, Australia, Canada, Qatar, Malaysia, Italy, Netherlands and dozens more...

//155/ Abbey for Portmans Fall 2011

Portmans Fall 2011

Model: Abbey Lee Kershaw

//And now are you convinced that blond is better? ;) Yes, she is beautiful, and this campaign would be perfect if only she would close her mouth and take her hands from her face...though I can't say  I am blown away by the clothing, it seems to be of bad quality...

//154/ Cape Town: Urban Art and Fashion Show Part I

Cape Town Urban Art and Fashion Show- Before the show

//I recently attended the Urban Art and Fashion Show 2011, which was disappointingly disorganised, but to be fair, introduced me to some talented South African designers (I will fill you in shortly). Despite the strange lighting, these photographs of my beautiful cousin Ami didn't come out too awfully...

//153/ Dress: When the weather is high

Publication: Vogue Italia
Issue: May 2011
Photography: Miles Aldridge
Model: Ashley Smith

//I'm not the biggest fan of Ashley Smith (too much obvious, busty beauty), but this has such a summery, blond vixen feel to it that I had to fold. I hate to remind you, but I am mentally preparing for a blistering hot summer in Berlin, and this is most certainly how I would like to while away my days....

//152/ Look 008

Dress: Anna Sui, embellished tulle and lace dress

Shoes: Alexander McQueen, stud-embellished python and leather ankle boots

Necklace: Oscar de la Renta, coquillage 22-karat gold-plated necklace

Cuff: Roberto Cavalli, gold-plated swarovski crystal acorn cuff

//A friend of mine is hosting a Montecarlo-themed party, and I have been gathering some ideas. This may be a bit too much Gossip Girl and too little old-money oppulence, but it's a start. Out of interest I calculated the cost of this outfit: €5120 (=R 49 655 =$7 402 =£ 4 531 ). Looks like I will be improvising...
