Local is pretty darn lekker.

My recent travels have taken me to the little surrounding towns of Cape Town and boy oh boy was that a silly mistake... 

It was my dream shops all in one road, one verrryyyy long road..

Oh so Boho

the name is enough isn't it? 

the best leather bags and backpacks i have seen ever and 'gypsy' jewellery! quite pricey but worth it.

Big Blue

Those of you who know Big Blue will know how cool this shop is.. best T-shirts in the world especially South African themed ones. Their little gifts and gadgets are just as cool, you can buy this whole shop and be kept busy for hours!

Nostalgia

I am a sucker for anything vintage and this little shop just rubbed the fact that i was born in the wrong era in my face. not cool. This is also the first shop where i found shoes my size (a size 8/9 if anyone is willing to donate) it was snakeskin boots.

i also asked the shop owner about a lace dress on display he said it totally wasn't for sale because it's from the 1920's which means if you picked it up it would break apart. This made me want it even more. It had vintage clothes from any size to any style to any price. A must-see/visit

Plugs not drugs

My parents don't know it yet but when i finish school i am getting 2mm plugs. they are so coolio.

The 1600's beauty

Braids. From school braids to the fish plait to the milkmaid.

One of my favourite hairstyles, it's what i miss the most of long hair. It is so elegant but you can wear it so edgy and also vintage. i always use a milkmaid braid for when i am wearing a lot of vintage. It always looks great.

Fish plait

the edge

my favourite; the milkmaid

Let's live in Texas?

The iconic DENIM SHIRT has certainly made a huge impact on the fashion industry and quite frankly i am a HUGE fan.

It is definitely a staple to anyone's closet.

it can be classy or edgy depending on the styling

Bordering on Stalker.

Three words. Lana Del Rey.

I am so in love with her, Geez. She is the definition of everything i want to be. She sings, she's beautiful and her lyrics are incredible.

Since this is a fashion blog, lemme tell you about her fashions especially in her music videos.

In "Born to Die" her fringe suede jacket is my dream.

Not to mention the guy. The guy is wonderful.

I love the way her looks, it has so much volume but is not frizzy. I love the white shirt with the black collar. (still cannot find one). Her style is so classic but has so much edge and sex appeal. She looks like one of those pin-up girls. Her signature cat-eyes and hair is what i want. i can just kill for it.

Here are some of her beautiful photos:

Her B E A U T I F U L music videos:

Her AH-MAZING lyrics:

Born to Die:

Come on take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane
Choose your last words, this is the last time
Cause you and I, we were born to die

Off to the races:

My old man is a bad man but
I can't deny the way he holds my hand
And he grabs me, he has me by my heart
He doesn't mind I have a Las Vegas past
He doesn't mind I have LA crass way about me
He loves me with every beat of his cocaine heart

Blue Jeans:

I will love you 'til the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby can you see through the tears
Love you more
Than those bitches before
Say you'll remember, oh baby, say you'll remember
I will love you 'til the end of time

Dark Paradise:

And there's no remedy for memory your face is
Like a melody, it won't leave my head
Your soul is haunting me and telling me
That everything is fine
But I wish I was dead

Every time I close my eyes
It's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side

Radio:

Now my life is sweet like cinnamon
Like a fucking dream I'm living in
Baby love me cause I'm playing on the radio
(How do you like me now?)

Pick me up and take me like a vitamin
'Cause my body's sweet like sugar venom oh yeah
Baby love me cause I'm playing on the radio
(How do you like me now?)

Carmen:

The boys, the girls, they all like carmen
She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes
She laughs like god, her mind's like a diamond
Buy her tonight, she's still shining
Like lightning, ohh, like lightning

Carmen, carmen, staying up til morning
Only seventeen, but she walks the streets so mean
It's alarming truly how disarming you can be eating soft ice cream
Coney Island Queen

She says you don't want to be like me
Looking for fun, get me high for free
I'm dying, I'm dying
She says you don't want to get this way
Street walk at night, and a star by day
It's tiring, tiring
