i am busy writing my final exams for my degree....it's not as fun as it sounds! and since my boyfriend has been busy with exams too we have hardly seen eachother over the last few weeks. now he has finished exams and gone out of town with my parents, because they are fixing up our beach house and needed his help. so now that i am home alone i am having a little lonely party
wishing he was here...

I did a photoshoot with a friend of mine a couple of months ago
it was super fun, another friend of ours style the shoot and she is pretty amazing.
her fashion sense is basically everything i dream of wearing when im big and brave
we took a lot of the shots in the nature reserve around my uni campus, which was beautiful
but also funny because all these random guys kept driving past


....anyway, these are some of the photos....they make me dream big and beautiful things!

adventure

lately i have been very interested in going on a camper van trip
i just like the idea of driving down pretty roads and parking anywhere to sleep and eat
i also think it would be a very different way to see the countryside
hmmm maybe one day when i am big i will have money for that
for now i am preparing to go to the usa,norway, and sweden for 5 weeks
the visa process is so lame for us south africans
but i am sure it will all be worth it when i am finally there
i have so much to look forward to
friends wedding, 4th july, new york, jazz, friends, food,shopping!
where is your next adventure?

cinnamon goodness

my recent status as a "lady of leisure" has enabled me to spend this wednesday morning in the kitchen. i baked this delicious cinnamon sugar pull-apart bread that i found on "joy the baker's" blog. wow. so delicious. perfect for a tea-drinking,book-reading, afternoon!

regrets

today has been a different kind of day for me. lots has changed. i lost my job. not for any fault of my own. that made me sad. then angry. it made me fight with my boyfriend, my parents, myself. now i am sitting back and examining the pieces. choosing which ones to pick up and fix. which ones are better left on the floor. this picture really woke me up to the reality of what life is. it's all about sitting on day's like this and remembering the better ones, the ones that were before, and the ones still to come. it's not just about looking down, but looking around as well. i hope that tomorrow will be a better day, a different day, a day where i get even more than exactly what i want.
