2015 – so it begins.

Hey everyone – been a long time now. Seriously long. Sorry about that but life got in the way again. So busy with with all the wedding planning 🙂 Only about a month and half left until the big day!
Soooooo excited!

Went down to Cape Town last weekend to celebrate another wedding, between my fiancés brother and his now wife. The wedding was beautiful and her dress was stunning. Had such a great time dancing the night away with all the lovely people.

 

Photos of me and Ryan 🙂 Didn’t check for permission to post the other peeps so I cropped them out for now…

Anyway, hope you are all having a great year so far! More posts to come soon 🙂

Black and white friday

Hey guys 🙂
Been busy times with all the wedding planning going on. You make plans and they change and you have to make new plans. Things add up quickly cost wise and you have to try to stick a to budget otherwise you’ll end up spending half a fortune. I’m hoping things will calm down a bit a bit soon though, within the next couple of weeks. Just need to get a few things organized then I can stop stressing too much haha.

Got a busy day ahead – but right now all I’m gonna do is chill on the couch for 20 mins listen to music and drink coffee! 🙂

Sharing some of my favorite photos from my shoot with photographer Tegan Smith check the other ones here and here.

Have lovely weekend!! ❤ ❤ ❤

Casual neutrals

Gooooood morning 🙂 It’s FrrriiiiiiiiiiiiDaaaaayyyyy :):)

What are you guys planning for the weekend? Ryan’s parents are coming today and will be here until next week 🙂  Will probably also continue on with the wedding planning haha. Getting there now! I feel like I’m getting something done every day 🙂

It’s freezing here this morning and the weather will probably not get any better. Expecting stormy weather this weekend. So I’m gonna share some sunnier photos with a very casual outfit in neutral colors. Most of my clothes are black, white, grey or beige haha. Love it. 

Wearing: White skinny jeans from Jay Jay’s, shoes from Ackermans, belt from Foschini, beige cardigan from H&M,
bag from Zara and sunglasses from Elle.

Have a lovely weekend!! 🙂

The LBD and wedding planning

Good morning!
My wedding planning is now happening 24 hours a day haha I even plan stuff in my dreams! But we are getting there. Quite a few things checked off the list already.
And even more stuff waiting to be checked off 😛
The trickiest parts I’m dealing with now is finding an officiate and outfits for everyone to wear. Found my dress already and will order it as soon as possible. But what I have in mind for my bridesmaids is very hard to find. Guessing its just the wrong season, need to look closer to summer. The same goes for the groom and groomsmen’s outfits. Wrong season. Cant wait for the shops to get their summer stuff in. And to find someone to officiate at the wedding is a lot harder than I thought. But I’m gonna keep on looking…

You guys were so sweet and seemed to like the LBD outfit I posted from my trip to Barcelona. So here is another way of wearing the same dress 🙂

Wearing: Boots from I love shoes (YDE), LBD from Nelly.com, bag from Jimmy Choo.

Hello lovely people 🙂
Hope your weekend was awesome!
Ryan and I had a very chilled friday. On saturday morning we went over to Martin and Nikkis house for breakfast. And after that I met up with Taryn at Primis for lunch and drinks. Had a great time 🙂
Yesterday Ryan, Emilio and I went for a drive to visit the wedding venue we were interested in. LOVED it!!! So now we are just looking at the numbers and will book it as soon as possible 🙂 YAY :):)
It’s been a lot of wedding planning going on here at home since I got back from Sweden. So many things to do but it’s seriously soooooo much fun 😀
I already bought my wedding shoes last week hehe. Now I’m going to do some more planning 😉
Hope you have a fab monday ❤

Helloooooooo my lovelies!
I’m back from my vacation 🙂 I’ve had such a great time!
I travelled to Sweden to surprise my stepmom for her 50th birthday! So I showed up at Arlanda airport in Stockholm and surprised her as the family was about to travel to Barcelona :):) So we spent 5 days in Barcelona, Spain. Loved it – beautiful city ❤

Stayed in a flat with my 4 of my bros plus 1 girlfriend, one “cousin” and one ‘brother’ to my bros hahaha such a complicated family. This was my room – with an en suite with a bubble bath 🙂

Random street art in Barcelona.

Walking around in the city.

Quickly checking out Sephora to get out of the rain haha.

Saturday’s outfit and ring issues

Hellooooo 🙂
The weekend is over – hope you all had a fabulous one!
It’s been quite the interesting morning for me…. last night my finger starting swelling up so I spent about 3 hours trying to get my new beautiful engagement ring off. It just would not come off. I tried elevating my arm, putting ice on my finger, using soap, using oil, I tried pushing glad wrap in under the ring to pull it off but nothing helped. So I went back to bed waking up like every 10 mins just to make sure my finger was still above my head and wasn’t turning purple. It was a pulsating, throbbing feeling and my finger felt like it wanted to explode. So this morning Rodney my amazing jeweler came by and had to cut it and bend it open so that I could get it off. Now a few hours after – my finger is still swollen but the pressure inside is going away. Will have to make the ring a bit bigger haha. Thats what you get for pushing a ring on your finger!

That’s how sexy my finger looked hahaha. Like a little balloon!

 

Anyway now that that is over – here is what I wore on saturday when I got proposed to 😉 ❤

Wearing: Black dress with lace from Mr.P., brown boots from YDE, black kimono and hat from Cotton On, Chanel 2.55 bag and Elle sunglasses.

Didn’t plan on taking any outfit photos so just took a couple with my iPhone.
