We've all noticed the recent weather change. Colder in the mornings and the evenings, the urge to turn on the electric blanket at night. Winter is coming to Cape Town (even if most of Cape Town is still in denial). We're also in for some beautiful Winter days, the days when it's just chilly enough to wear boots and a cardigan, but not cold enough to turn your lips blue (that's still coming). I'm on the boot hunt again, and I always seem to migrate back to Woolworths for this. I've got my eye on the top pair of boots, I just need to convince myself that R1000 is worth it, like telling myself "I'll spend less on dinners out" or "I won't buy that face product", sigh, the lies we tell ourselves. They really do make great boots though. Woolworths used to be the store that made the basics, the kind of store you'd go to to buy that "white tee" or "those pajama pants". Times have definitely changed, and the game has definitely been upped with the help of Country Road and Trenery. I adore Country Road bags and shoes.

Get all of these and more, when you wander over here.

My ♥ stopped at Country Road.

So I wandered into Country Rd on the weekend, like you do when you're meant to be grocery shopping.And I found this little number.There is a serious lack of nice sleepwear in Cape Town. You either get the Disney pants or total sexy vibe, and there really isn't much in-between. That's why I love the Country Road range, like this little jumpsuit, super comfortable and somewhat understated. The colours are always great too! Retails for R399 so won't break the bank either. Too cute!

I love Country Road. In brand terms, it's so 'sure of who it is'. By this I mean, you know exactly what type of style you're going to get each time you walk in. Even the colour palette is well thought out. How cute is this little number? It looks so comfortable and the simple use of the two colours makes it super chic and almost architectural. I picked these shoes to go with it, a comfy wedge, easy to maneuver on cobblestones or other tough surfaces. There's nothing worse than wobbling along on stilettos, and looking ridiculous, I love the ease of wedges. The outfit is also dying for a chunky bracelet, which I'm sure Woolies would also have covered. Very beaut, very now, I think.

My ♥ stopped when I saw these boots.

Trenery. The place to find these beauties.

And Country Road is not far behind.

And then on to Woolies for some winter basics.

JODHPURS. PERFECT WITH BOOTS. ALSO AVAILABLE IN BLACK.

THIS IS HOW THE PRETTY ONES ARE DOING IT

It seem equestrian is in this winter and I'm loving it. The Woolies' jodhpurs are great because they have a stretchy band at the top, which means you can say good-bye to that annoying belt you've been using so that your skinnies don't fall down. I'm on the hunt for a jacket now.
