The Weekend in Instagram




This weekend was very laid back, with shopping of all kinds taking up most of my time. It's my darling mum's 60th birthday this week so we went hunting for the perfect gift for her, and saw the odd little something for me as well - of course. How sweet is the graphic long sleeve tee from Legit! (Top left)
Stationary shopping at Typo always ends up in a bag full of things I didn't go in there for. But everything is just so pretty!

My 1kg of Nomu Drinking Chocolate arrived. Of course the weather went against me so I'll have to wait a bit longer to break out the mini-marshmallows and bowl-sized mugs.

We tried a third pizza spot on our quest to find Cape Town's best pizza, and had a lovely dinner at Mitico. So far it is definitely 1) Massimo's, 2) Posticino and 3) Mitico. I am told Magica Roma in Pinelands has some amazing pizza, and we're off to Brenaissance on Wednesday so we'll see soon enough how they fare. We then enjoyed a stroll up Kloof Str and I definitely want to spend a Saturday doing some boutique-hopping. There are so many places I need to check out.

Finally on Sunday I enjoyed a fun day out with my family perusing the Decorex show and discovered some lovely little things for home, including the sweetest owl shaped vase. I also discovered the most divine cheeses and bought some amazing chili and garlic halloumi cheese to grill at home. We then went on a mini road trip to Hout Bay to enjoy a chilled afternoon at the Bay Harbour Market where I found some lovely fresh flowers and finally got to try Ma Mere's Hot Cross Bun Nougat which is ridiculously good.

Have a lovely week - its a great that we have a mid-week break on Wednesday ;)
Love a public holiday!

The weekend in Instagram




The weekend started a day early when we went to see Michael McIntyre on Thursday evening, and he is definitely one of the best comedians that I have seen live. Friday was spent visiting two dear friends in the hospital who both gave birth to gorgeous baby boys. Welcome to the group Tristan and Liam!
The rest of the weekend was laid back with some market hopping at the Old Biscuit Mill and The Palms and trawling Sir Lowry Road for some treasures for our home. We ended up finding some lovely frames, a print and then went a little nuts at Coricraft and ordered a french inspired bed-end for our room, and a coffee table and lamp to finish off our lounge. I love how our apartment is coming together. The highlight of my weekend has to be spotting this Bengal Cat and chatting to its owner for ages about how its the size of a cat, markings of a Bengal tiger and has the characteristics of a dog - as in you take it for walks, it'll swim, fetch etc. I am definitely going to investigate this and look at getting one in the future!
Sunday was spent with my parents who love popping in - more to hang out on the balcony and soak up the sun and sea air than visiting me I suspect... but they treated us to putt-putt and ice cream, so we felt that made up for it. My family knows to bribe me with sweets for just about anything.

That was all folks. I hope you had a wonderful weekend!
