rocking the daisies

I'm still recovering from my amazing weekend at Rocking the Daisies. 

Personal highlights were Rob Van Vuuren's comedy, Dr Stef (I'm a sucker for a hypnotist show), Killer Robot's set, the photobooths, and the fact that I didn't get sunburnt AT ALL (the temperature was in the 40's, so quite a feat for a pale girl like me).

I really appreciated the Daisy Den for its proper toilets, basins and mirrors, although I found the girls straightening their hair, painting their nails and reading magazines at a festival a bit ridiculous. 

I just wish they'd had more shade as I didn't enjoy any music 'til after the sun had gone down. The dam provided a great, icy relief from the heat, but after a bloody plaster floated past as a little girl did a wee next to me I couldn't float about for very much longer.

I went to the very first RTD five years ago and it just keeps getting better. It's extremely well organised and I always have a great time!

Cape Town Fashion Week

Yesterday CTFW kicked off with the Foschini AFI Fastrack. I had car/wardrobe troubles and found myself having to take the train to town AND wearing takkies, so not fabulous. 
The event was great; so much talent and so many beautiful clothes! I went to support the amazingly gifted Thoki Tafeni

Her whole collection was so bold, very tasteful and truly beautiful, and the judges seemed to agree as she was announced as one of the winners!

I also really loved the other winner's collection Chelsy Wilson. Her range was cute, fun and young and right up my alley ♡
