My ♥ stopped at Marion and Lindie.

Calling the ghost of Frida Kahlo...

The shoes, oh the shoes!

Marion & Lindie has always been one of my faves. And it's OBVIOUS why! I recently wandered into the Cavendish store to buy a dress for my friend's wedding and honestly almost had to phone my 'sponsor' to come and drag me out before I maxed out every card I have. Literally, everything is beautiful. What I love the most is that the dresses are simple enough to wear during the day and night. Also, their famous 'wrap the material' dresses are still around, I had a panic attack when someone told me they were phasing them out. Basically these dresses have long pieces of material attached to them that you can wrap over your shoulders, under your bust to make a Grecian ensemble, or even just tie in a knot and drape. Oh the many ways you can wear a Marion and Lindie dress! Every time I buy one of their dresses, I feel like I'm investing in a timeless piece, that I know I'll be wearing in 5 year's time, how many stores can you say that about? No didn't think so.

My ♥ stopped when I saw these outfits.

Happy Friday everyone. Be merry, be kind, be safe and have a wonderful weekend xxx

My ♥ stopped when I saw these florals.

I always imagine that I'll look old-fashioned in anything floral. But then I see pics like these and think 'I want, I want'. Here's the thing, I've figured out that you need to wear a solid/flat colour with something floral, that way you avoid looking like you've wrapped a curtain around you. The end result is so feminine and ethereal, I adore it.

My ♥ stopped at Mungo & Jemima.

Mungo & Jemima, one of my greatest fashion loves. I remember buying my first item, hanging it in my cupboard and treating it like a gem. And receiving hundreds of compliments because of it. This little store is amazing, not only do they stock beautiful tops, they have one of the best jewellery ranges too (I have the little blue birdie that the blonde model is wearing). 

Labels stocked include I love Leroy, Take Care, Michelle Ludek, Selfi, Margot Molyneux, Unknown, Robyn Caris, Spilt Milk and swimwear by LoveWaterLove. Jewellery by Skermunkil, Collect and Peter Eastman is complimented by accessories by covetable Cape Town-based labels Hello Sailor, Missibaba and Kate & Allie.

The Mungo & Jemima customer is a discerning shopper of all ages. She understands fashion, but is not a slave to it and is looking for a quality alternative to mass produced looks of the high-street. 

You'll find the store on the corner of Church and Long - you'll probably find me there too, putting my lunch break to good use :)

Beautiful pics from their website. 

My ♥ stopped when I came across Three Little Ducks.

Winter has just begun and I'm already in love with grey! I think it's an extremely feminine colour. I would die for the second bag because I have a special love for the sling-style (don't you love it!?). I find that I tend to buy one expensive bag and then wear it out completely before purchasing a new one, however, the shops are full of grey bags at inexpensive prices at the moment, so I'll be on the lookout for at least two of them. Take a peek at these Missibaba delights!

My ♥ stopped when I saw these.

That ring is exquisite! I'm loving these colours for winter actually, change the shorts (the lovely shorts) for some dark blue jeans, add a gorgeous leather jacket (this one) and you're good to go. Love, LOVE this look.

My ♥ stopped when I found the perfect denim jacket.

I love the floral detail on the inside

Perfectly paired with some ruffles

This is how the pretty ones wear them

I LOVE THE PEACH AND THE GRAY. SO PRETTY.

Spotted here, bought here.

My ♥ stopped at Alexandra Hojer.

This store is a joy and the work of a Swedish fashion designer based in Cape Town. The clothing has a vintage touch and is impeccably made. 

DON'T YOU LOVE THIS BELT? IT'S SO SOFT.

Find her whimsical and wonderful work here or in The Lifestyle Centre on Kloof.

My ♥ stopped at Missibaba.

Missibaba is still a fairly unknown gem. These bags make me want to walk the streets of Stockholm. They remind me of my grandmother's bags. And she was one classy lady.

My ♥ stopped when I saw this wedding dress.

Maybe it's because I'm getting married in December. This dress makes me dreamy. She looks so delicate and feminine.
