risky business.
Well finals have started. Sorry for being MIA. Living in the Southern Hemisphere means my year runs from February - November...therefore its nearing the end of the year. 5 long weeks of finals ahead of me. I wrote two this week and have heaps more to go. So before the real business starts, I went out with a few girlfriends tonight to watch the sunset...nothing beats the African sun. I promise you. magic.
I was definitely feeling a tad adventurous with this shirt on. Low, it is, but coupled with my blazer to cover any slips proved to be a perfect match.
Oh I also re-discovered this lipstick from my cruise ship days (I danced on one!) and since we got 30% off MAC and I had heaps of recyclables, free lipstick it was. It's a Glaze- called Hue. Hard to see in the picture, but its super natural and gives your lips a radiating glow. I don't wear much make-up, but this is now a must.
Tagged- yes. by the lovely lula of Hello Sailor ! ( ps- i'm obsessed with your name, lula). So here's a few tid-bits :
1. Clothes shop: very random + widespread. and will really look/buy anywhere. h&m. men's departments. aa. topshop. vintage. ebay. amazon
2. Furniture shop: @home. Scandinavian living. CB2.
3. Sweet: strawberries.organic chocolate.
4. City: New York. Paris. Vancouver. Cape Town. Auckland. Sydney. Kiev.
5. Drink: mint green tea. water. rooibos.
6. Music: stars. the strokes. tegan and sara. the bloc party. 80's. MGMT. bryan adams. broadway. SO much more.
7. Tv-Series: Not watching any at the moment. Sex and the city. Seinfeld.
8. Film: dirty dancing. breakfast at Tiffany's.
9. Workout: I danced for 18 years. So being active runs in my blood. I love everything. walking (like a new yorker-fast). pilates. bikram. spinning. running. hiking. dancing to good music. shopping (!)
10. Pastries: vegan cupcakes.
11. Coffee: after the BF bought a swiss espresso machine 2 months ago. I love it. But prefer green tea.

again, I luv how u get all the propotions just right... it ain't easy... simply effortless for u!
ReplyDeleteHave a good finals dear!
~Blessings* as usual.
the pleating detail on those pants is increeeeedible!
ReplyDeleteI'm going through finals also so can absolutely relate to your fustration! : eeek
ReplyDeleteAs the title says it was a tad risky but that blazer you mention provides a very good cover up! I've just realised you're from cape town? I have a friend that emigrated from there and my ex boyfriend was actually from Pretoria *spelling*. What a tiny world :)
hey sweetie, you look beautiful! so classy and sophisticated!! ps: I'm starting finals too eeek :( so not looking forward to it. good luck with yours love xxx
ReplyDeleteyou look great. I like the blazer.
ReplyDeletehoorah i'm tagged.
ReplyDeleteand you danced on a ship! wow that sounds awesome. my friend is thinking of singing on one. too bad i get badly seasick. well i think i do. i did as a kid. ON TO YOUR OUTFIT MISSY. so fabulous. i love love that its business and then wham party top :) great style my dear.
Oh. My. Gosh. Usually I would write off a black suit as kind of boring, but when you pair it with THAT shirt which I think I need to go track down ASAP, the whole look is KILLER!
ReplyDeleteAnd "Risky Business"... perfect title/caption for this look!
And aw, finals. Hate them! haha. But hope you ace all your finals, my dear! :)
And yes, me speechless because of you happens ALL THE TIME! Trust me! ;)
Aw, well thanks! I'm really considering that blunt bang now... :)
And oh my gosh, I hate when people come up to be and beg, or even if they're just on the streets. Homeless people are all over NYC. The sad thing is some of them are homeless by choice and/or will only use any money you give them for drugs/alcohol. I think the best way to give, is to donate to homeless shelters and such, that way I know my money is helping them, but in the right ways.
Oh and to answer your question, well I lived in Manhattan/NYC most this summer, going to the School of Visual Arts, but I am home with my family at the moment, I hope to make an official move to NYC soon! :)
Anyway, thanks so much for your comment! I love getting your comments, like mini-holidays in my day or something! Seriously they always make me light up with a big smile, and I appreciate them so much! :)
xoxo,
S-C
P.S. Oh and thanks for the tag, will try to put that in my next entry! :)
