Think Pink

The weather is playing tricks on me lately.  First thing in the morning I'm generally layered up from head to toe.  I roam around in a big fat hoodie for ages before I'm brave enough to get dressed.  By lunch time though, it's boiling and I'm pulling off all my layers.  I wore this for dinner with le bf's family on Monday evening and while taking these pictures I was so warm I thought I'd made a mistake in my clothing choice but  once we were at dinner I was so grateful I had my booties and a sweater on because it was chilly again!  

I'm off to Cape Town tomorrow and I still haven't got a clue what to pack so this could get interesting.  I guess I'll just have to pack for all kinds of weather.  I'm super excited about this trip by the way.  To see what all I get up to, follow me on Instagram @arumlilea for fun snaps of the trip.  

On a day like this

I hope everyone is having a great long weekend!  Yesterday Grant and I went to lunch at Vovo Telo in Parkhurst.  The food was delicious!  The chocolate cake below was the best chocolate cake I have ever tried, perhaps because it was made with buttermilk?  Yesterday evening we went to watch the Johannesburg Symphony choir and orchestra perform Bach's St Matthews Passion.  It was beautiful!

Formal Affair

It was my sister's debutante's ball and she was having this show stopper of a dress made.  That was all organised but what about the debutante's older sister?  I wore this dress I found in H&M in New York, a set of rose gold and pearl bangles, my Michael Kors watch and Aldo heels.  I liked wearing a shorter dress because while still formal, it didn't take away from the debutantes very special dresses.
