P U M B A G AM E R E S E R V E

Right now i am about to POP - literally, no maybe not :-) But you know what i mean! 

Tomorrow morning 11:35am we fly to PE, picked up by transfer and drive 80km to the Pumba Game Reserve!  I am just so super excited to be able to experience a ***** game reserve! FIRST time ever in my life and it's always been somewhere where 'chow' and i wanted to go! And here we are :-) We fly back Sunday evening! 4 nights would have been FAB but we'll settle for 3! LoL! 

So .... on return i'll be updating you all on our experiences and what we saw etc! Camera is fully charged and ready for lots of photies! 

Don't get too jealous now :-) This is where we'll be staying!

Thinking interior design ......... ???

I have a lot on my mind at the moment! Things to do, things going on, things to be accomplished, goals to be met - and so i could go on and on ... 

One thing that is on my mind a lot is the fact that our house is officially on the market! Now that's so scary to say that! OMG! So, i'm thinking new things, fresh start, new designs, new colours, textures and a splash of trend! So, i'll be scouting the web and blogs when i have a chance and glancing in home magazines to look at decor that i wish for in the 'oh so near' future!!!! 

lonnymag - this magazine is great to glance through! Such fresh ideas and colours!

I'm HOME!

I'm back after the most amazing time on the Farm, in the Karoo (1 hour from Beaufort West) and F & K's wedding! Parent's loved the farm and we all just had a "ball"! 

I have lots of photies to share (but need to upload them still) as well as stories to share! The wedding was stunning! The venue was a complete gem - a touch of "vintage" to it - really lovely! (Photies to follow... ) My outfit was a great success.... as many said to Jason; "Jy het a mooi meisie en haar (spelling: her??) rok is beautiful!" LoL crack me up! 

Weather didn't really play it's part - well to my satisfaction! Rain - well in 7 years of going to the farm i have never experienced any rain! Needless to say the farmers we grinning and beaming from ear to ear! Maybe 3 days of perfect still sunshine! Managed to play tennis which was fab and lots of farming was done with J's dad! Baby kids too - check the photie out! SO SO cute! 

All in all i am WELL rested from a week of bliss relaxation! :-) 

The cutest little 'kid' about :-)

What i'll be wearing to K & F wedding ..............

We're off to the Karoo and will be attending K&F's wedding on 16 October in Graaf Reniet! I'm so looking forward to it! It's going to be a blast! I thought i'd share with you what i'll be wearing - in the summer's heat! They say to expect between 31 - 35 degrees! GREAT! I'll be cooking - literally! 

I'll be wearing: 

~ lovely dress from Chica Loca: check their website out - http://www.chicaloca.co.za/
~ a beautiful silk scarf with a diamond scarf brotch
~ my bridesmaids gold strappy shoes 
~ my bridesmaids earings 
~ and my hair will be curled by Jason (My fantastic hairdresser!!) 

The dress i'll be wearing is on the left hand side ... pretty and summery

 

What makes me smile?

I thought i'd share with you what is making me smile at the moment: 

• My amazing husband ~ he is just gorgeous!
• There is nothing better than having a nice cup of tea to warm your hands up on a chilly day! 
• Sunday afternoon horse rides with Lucy ~ out chit chat and gossip sessions! 
• Thinking of all our holidays coming up ~ starting from Sunday, 10 October! The farm, Franky's wedding, Pumba Game Reserve! HOW AWESOME! 
• My lovely dog Diesel ~ he is just the sweetest thing around! 
• All my lovely birthday goodies that i still need to get to and sort out :-) 
• My bud ~ Cam ~ arrives today from the UK! We off to Moyo in Blouberg tonight! 
• My new pumps from Mr Prices! I love them! They are SO old fashioned ~ vintage but so in! (Trying to find an image of them :-)
• And ~ life in general! Be happy, enjoy every moment and live life to the fullest!  

I am really enjoying the whole 'vintage' look at the moment especially after seeing what's out there at the Mr P in Canal Walk! Oh so lovely! :-) 

The movie .............

 

I can't wait to see this movie but looks like i'm going to have to wait until i get back from our holiday! It's going to be great! I must start reading the book! 

I am still wanting to try one of these ....

MACAROONS!

I am yet to try one of these delicious things, sorry Macaroons! I am not entirely sure where i get them from but i think Melissa's stocks them? I need to go and take a "peep" cause afterall they look so delicious and i need one!

Beautiful summer's day! :-)

It's a glorious day today!

Bubbles and tubbles :-)

 What a success Jason's 30th birthday was! Everyone had lots to eat - there was way too much but was so good!! The wind died down for us so was lovely!

Perfect or what? How good is Rach? :-)

Jason thought his mini was super! :-)

Mint green - - - the in thing!

I really do like this colour; maybe a shade brighter, but loving the look! I shall be purchasing some this weekend, wearing it in the spirit of all the parties that are happening!! :-)

Can't wait to get this fab colour on my nails!

Happy October :-)

Be awesome and wear pink to support breast cancer awareness this month!
