//224/ Cape Town: Olympia Café


Olympia Café, Kalk Bay, Cape Town


//A few days back, on a super rainy day (in the middle of summer?? bizarre!) my gorgeous cousin Ami and I decided to stop off at Olympia in Kalk Bay for a quick espresso before work. I love the mixture of print she is wearing here: a little heart-print dress and a polka-dot scarf. It was unfortunately too early for food at Olympia...a pity because their food is the best!

//223/ Outfit 013

Tops: Miu Miu bow-embellished stretch-jersey T-shirt, Markus Lupfer Lara Lips cotton T-shirtTrenery pocket-front T-shirt
Skirt: Country Road print tie waist skirt
Shoes: Jimmy Choo Louisa suede platform sandals
Bag: Nancy Gonzales crocodile clutch
Sunglasses: Linda Farrow Luxe cat-eye frame snakeskin sunglasses


//I have taken it upon myself to incorporate more local clothing (ie. clothing available in South Africa) into my outfits, so here ya go: a beautiful country road print tie waist skirt. I usually find Country Road a little bland, to be frank, but lately they have been more adventurous and I believe it has paid off.

//Aaand then throw in a fiery red clutch for some drama, Jimmy Choo heels for some height, and cat-eye sunglasses for some sultriness and boom      you´ve got yourself a banging look.

//For the top I chose a T-shirt from Miu Miu, Markus Lupfer ooor if you want to stay loyal to local, Trenery. Wait a couple of seconds for the tops to change...it took me forever to make this!

You can take a look at her Elite portfolio here...perfection much? ...if only she would refrain from tilting her head so far backwards!
