I fux with Arnreuby
My awesomely talented designer / stylist / creative friend Odysseus makes wonderful clothes through his label Arnreuby. He's been sending me pictures from his new range and I am tres excited to see and wear finished product
Here is my favourite skirt ever that he made for me once upon a time. It has a gorgoeus slit detail at the back, pockets, red lining, and this amazing raw silk feel. Love it.
Recently he did the wardrobe for Zaki Ibrahim's The Do music video - have you seen it? Gorgeous look and sound. She channels her own kind of Black Swan through the beautifully shot video. It's lovely and goosebump inducing.

The thing is...
“It was true that I didn’t have much ambition, but there ought to be a place for people without ambition, I mean a better place than the one usually reserved. How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 6:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?”― Charles Bukowski, Factotum

I fux with Maria McCloy
Maria McCloy - the vintage queen, African Print clutch bag maker, Accessory creator extraordinaire!
Here are my latest goodies from her incredible collection
Long wire earrings. I think they are from her Masai inspired range. Loving these lately because they work so well with my coverall hairstyle.
The blue skirt from her R50 vintage box from a while ago - had to get it tailored to fit my newly slimmed waistline. I love the colour and the fact that it has pockets. Pockets are a girls best friend!
Again - do check her out every Sunday at the Market on Main at Arts on Main between 10am and 3pm. You will not be sorry.
See some more of her goodies on Facebook

This has to be the best news of the year! The amazing novel "Half of a yellow Sun" by super amazing author Chimamanda Adichie is about to be a movie!
Still searching for more information on the interwebs. My excitement won't let me be great at the moment
Launches at Great Dane Braamfontein
Last week (or the week before) made my way to the new favourite after dark spot in Braamfontein, Great Dane, two nights in a row. On both nights, album launches were the buzz and brought all the cool kids to the 5cent coin floored yard.
Wednesday - Bhubessi's "Member's only" mixtape launch. With Siya as MC. Muptee and Boyz in Bucks joined the young Lion on stage.
Thursday - Zaki Ibrahims's "Every Opposite" album launch. I missed that actual launch due and arrived shortly after to only praise and love for the lovely Zaki. I definitely want the album.

I know you're hurting #isaidno
You, reading the headlines and stories in our newspapers about the daily violations
You, whose daughter has been violated
You, whose son has been violated
You, the one who has been raped or sexually abused
You, who knows someone (we all do)
You, the one who doesn't know what to do, who to talk to, where to go
You, who has been let down by the system
You, who has not spoken out
I know you are hurting.
If you or someone you know want to share your story / see how other people are coping, there is a place
There is a place to find resources and help centres
There is a place to break the silence
