Girls about town

Doing new things is my new motto in life. Here is how it went down; Khuthii “check the link I posted on your Facebook wall” and from that we ended up at the Mercedes-Benz Bokeh International Fashion Film Festival.

We arrived a bit late but it was worth it. We got to listen to two very interesting yet different speakers. We were laughing one minute, emotional the next and totally inspired threw out. We were listening to people at the top of the game who were sharing experiences and teachings and letting us into who they are and the work that inspires them. 

First we had Adrin Steirn a filmmaker/photographer of the 21 Icons Project. He talked passionately about the art and got us to view 3 videos that touched us.

We also reluctantly at first but were very happy we did, listened to Fred Sweet the producer of La Jolla EFF & The IFFS’S. The guy spoke the truth and the dry jokes killed the room.

 This is how I looked on the day.My outfit consisted of a leather jacket from a store in china town, a knit and shirt from Mr Price, Skinny jeans from Edgars and black boots from Ligit.Nothing too fancy but I was good with it.

My girl Khuthii killed it today. The lady of color. I love how she is not afraid of color and that she kills it with her arm candy.

. People looked good and the actual event was pretty chilled. We did not get to get our faces did at the Mac stand thou but, it’s all good in the fashion hood.

I also got to take some pictures of some well dressed ladies in fashion fabulous. Next time I will go to people and actually ask to take pics of them. Its about time to bet serious. 

It was a day well spent. :)

Good Food and Wine Show

I visited the the Good Food and Wine Show this past weekend. One of my things of wanting to experience all these things that come to city and well experiencing everything new. It was a chilled vibe filled with nice food and all that comes with it. Birthday weekend experience all round.

I love this even at this age thou. All pouts and puffed up afro like the liker I am. No ifs or maybes about that.

The food truck sections was by far my favourite part of the whole event. I just loved the set up and the creativity behind this new craze. I think its time I start going around the city and experiencing the different foods I can find in these wonders.

Oh yes.. the lovely food was all the rave. I loved what I experienced and still dreaming of it.

It was all good in the hood. Good Food and Wine show (Check) ... hmmm what do I do next.

Guess who is 28

The above was taken a few hours before I turned the big 28. Yep its official I am now a lady in my late 20s. Don't worry I will not start calling myself 20somthing or the whole "old enough".

I am actually pretty chilled about my age to the most part. I have experienced and just been threw way too much in my life to start hiding that. My life has been all sorts of crazy, fun, emotional and all just a blessing. This body has nurtured my soul and has kept all the madness contained ( oh well to some point hehehe).

One of the most inspiring things I was told when I turned 28 was " "Now you are entering the best years of your life. You are now mature enough to enjoy life and you don't need to any ones permission to do so." I get this to the last letter. Living for me and experiencing just because its for me. I know it is not a licence to pull a middle figure to the world ( not at all), I feel its just a way of living life while not pulling the middle finger to myself and my dreams.

I am excited about what 28 has to bring.
