I have a tendancy to be referred to as "black" my my friends which of course is neither true nor politically correct but nevertheless I do showcase my rapping and crumping on occasion (these occasions are usually fuelled by a few to many cocktails or champagne). It has been a thing that has followed me around for years and I love it. "Ghetto love" was a thing that I gave out to my adoring (or so I thought) "fans" i.e the average white person hug. It is stupid to think a girl from upper middle class gorwing up in the burb of Beecroft could have even a slight amount of street cred but I am more than happy to claim this. probably not good for the rap industry and community but hey they have appealed to the masses.

At the moment I am crushing hardcore on Miss Nicki Minaj/Roman/Martha/Onika or any other later-egos I have missed. Adore her and her crazy get ups and of course that behind, much more impressive than any Kardashian. She is everything I cannot be but secretly hope I will be. Her album Pink Friday is on repeat throughout this week on my 90's boom box along with my gold name earrings. Get cha swagga on.

*Note I am sorry for my lame attempt at rap talk but at least you  haven't seen my horrendous version of Superbass circa May 2011.

I'm loving neigh adoring Gotye's album Making Mirrors. This is a definite favourite with its catchy acoustic guitar solo and clapping rythmn I'm hooked and sunk into a world of beautiful sounds. I love me a brass section that is so surprising in a song that is so simple at first glance. Plus anything that can put me in a half decent mood pre coffee on a Monday morning gets some cudos.

I literally have been obsessing over these babies for about a year but at $500 a pop I was ummming and ahhhhing forever. Just when I ceased my yerning on Saturday I went into Mimco and actually stopped in the sale section. Okay followers I am not a snob but I'm not a typical "on sale" kind of gal hence the slight credit card debt I find myself in. Anyway I look over at the messy sale section trifled with vultures attching every shoe box they can see and out the corner of my eye I spy a black  heeled boot. It was like the heavens opened up and angeles sung because I found the last pair in my size in the black for WAIT FOR IT $79!!! I literally squealed like a pre-teen Bieber fan and shook my boyfriend uncontrollably with excitement. What are the odds? So although spring is here and summer soon I could not not buy them, that would be insanity. Now they are sitting on my feet never to be taken off, I will never underestimate the sales section ever again!

a maxi event

Anyone who knows me knows I am an avid maybe.... addict? to THE MAXI SKIRT. If I had it my way I would wear one everyday of the year and would never, ever get sick of it! I love prints, brights, blacks, sheer, frou-frou, pastel, neutral, pleated and every other form they come in. A versatile, flattering and inexpensive way to look fabulous and spesh.

I feel that the maxi skirt is appropriate for all occasions.Weddings, nightclubs, summer days, winter nights, casual, date night, girls drinks, parental and gran-parental visits, shopping, walking aimlessly around the city, beach hangs, coffee dates, birthday parties and any other thing you can think of. Go forth and be chic ladies!
