The Dollhouse Clothing

Dollhouse Clothing is an indepedently owned company that is simply beautiful!
The clothes are all sold online then you go to a cutesy out of the way warehouse to go fetch them.

The whole idea of this company that I find so incredible, is that each and every article of clothing is done to uniquely express the creator, no two pieces are alike in any way, the highly vantage and hipsetr styled clothes are all the rage and absolutely cater for all shapes and sizes.
One thing that I absolutely adore is that all of the clothes are fairly cheap!
For a flattering pair of high waisted jeans that are perfect for all occassions, especially during Cape Towns hormonal and indecisive weather, something that can be warm with a nice cardi or cut off top, you can't go wrong.
Have a look at some of their latest range:

This is perfect for the more daytime, chilled and somewhat stylish look. BUT
This can also work for going out, you know how Bold prints are in fashion.

This is what I meant by the clothes are for every occasion. Owing to me being a simple girl, for me this is perfect. I Love just slouching around, but fashionably slouching around and then it being comfortable to go out in is perfect.

This for me is absolutely divine! The delicate floral pattern and heeled brogues are definitely in fashion at the moment, with many foreign fashion houses choosing to use pastel and simplistic colour palettes.














Finally... Just something cute and summery!
I love how the model pulls this off.

I really hope that you enjoyed this brief look at the Dollhouse Clothing.

Mungo and Jemima

Mungo and Jemima on Long Street is the perfect place to skip away to on the pretense of a coffee break.
Along the right hand side of the road, it's easy to miss this little gem, but when you're like me and you're on a mission to find a perfect summer cozzie, you will go out of your way to find those spots.
I walked into to the (thankfully) airconditioned little shop and immediately noticed that the theme from them for this summer is that subtle clothing is all the rage, with delicate pastels and some interesting hair pieces, you can find some day/night outfits all in one go.
Whilst I oh, so infatuated by these outfits browsed, something quite colorful caught my eye, a charming one piece that had some gold embellishments and a chain to join the low cut front together.
Now normally nothing screams "Persian nightclub owner" like a gold chain across a red top, but this whole costume screamed, oh rather showed class and elegance.

With a peacock motif the outfit really does just call to me, and lo and behold, I am now carrying a signature Mungo and Jemima bag with the promises of a beach day.

When I turned around towards the back of the store, I saw some cute hairbands that had a 1920's flair to them, the hipster inspired to need to add to everything excessively didn't stop here, yet these pieces are cute and detached, perfet for a variety of outfits and bound to be beautiful all on their own.

My personal favorite being the little silver, sparkly bow.

All and all, the shop is well priced for the quality of clothes that it provides, but don't hope for it to be something that won't empty that little purse of yours.
I love the clothes, love the designers and I will most certainly make it a go-to spot for my summer shopping must-haves.

Body Shop

The Body Shop has got to be one of my favorite places to go and get some essentials, the constant smells spilling from the shop onto the outside porch is simply heavenly and I do so enjoy the open mosturiser that you can have a quick glance at.
I went ad decided to treat myself to some well-earned hand moisturizer that will showcase my signature strawberry scent. I tend try and find different and unique smells to wear as I simply cannot wear the generic stuff off the counter if everyone else is.
The pint-sized hand lotion is strawberry adorable and is half finished, already a hit with the boyfriend as he prefers nice smelling but not too heavy on the nose.

You can get this sweet little thing for a decent price and for a nice bargain, you can even try and have a look at their summer 50% discount sale.

My little tip: I buy the Strawberry home fragrance, only R50 and then use that as perfume, only one or two drops and you're sorted for the whole day. Those of you who are reading this and who know me, you'll attest to how perfect it is, subtle and so delightfully delicious smelling.

Corner of Church Street and Long Street

The antique market on the corner of Church Street and Long Street made an exceptional appearance this morning! I don't usually go and see whats there, sort of glance by, but I stopped today and saw the most divine faux gold locket.
I absolutely adore a good bargain, I saw this locket that had a beautiful art nouveau styled embellishment that when opened, contained a glittered interior, very gentle however for you to put that picture of your loved one.
Only R90, and I'm currently saving up for it to be my 'welcome to the new year present!'

I personally love a beautiful accessory like that, something that's understated and simply that can pull of a plain LBD or a summery floral acquisition.

Straight after that, I walked right past "MeMeMe" another beautiful boutique that showcases local designers, and even though they were still closed, I saw this bag, oh this beautiful bag!
Brown leather with a blue leather trim around the side pockets and straps. Gold studded embellishments on the straps make the bag in my personal opinion, absolutely beautiful.
This bag, however, costs R2200, but to be honest, what is not worth the wait if you save up for it and have something that divine?
