Holga summer treats xxx

Oooo how I love summer!!! (and my Holga)

I am really appreciating the beach more these days,

In the past you would have found me on the beach everyday. But growing up - just a little :) and opening your own clothing store means no more beach bumming around and not allot of free time on your hands, im not complaining though its a fair trade ... 

its just makes you appreciate the good things in life even more. 

Here are some holga treats of two lovely events I went to this summer,

  Definitely times to remember:

Rocking the daisies live music festival

and Rolling retro surf day at Landutno  (My personal favorite)

ENJOY !!!

I absolutely love my body suits.  I bought them at a Vintage market in Bangkok a few years ago and somehow I still haven’t found time to do a shoot with them...

Luckily they were in great hands and I finally got some lovely pics out of them.

High waist shorts also available at Babette clothing

What influences you the most in terms your style and the way in which you dress?

‘The way I dress everyday has a lot to do with my mood, girly one day and tomboy the next. I always try to add an edge. Comfort is key. It doesn’t help you looking stylish if you cant even walk. Obviously the weather plays a big part to. Cape Town makes this hard sometimes! ‘

Who do you feel is the most prevalent style icon?

‘I love Alexa Chung, she always looks amazing. Makes a statement but never going overboard.’

What, in your opinion, is the definition of style?

‘”Fashions fade style is eternal” – Yves Saint Laurent I don’t think it can be said any better then that.’

Your top five essential fashion items?

’1. Ankle boots
2. a Good watch
3 .Beautiful summer frock (from Babette )
4 . Round sunglasses
5. High waist shorts (denim or Vintage)’

The worst trend you have ever subscribed to?

‘Lycra floral bell-bottoms, dont know if that was ever a trend though,  but my mom made them for me.’
