Goats do roam
A great day trip from Cape Town is an outing to Fairview, a wine estate just outside Paarl. They make delicious wines, amazing goats' milk cheeses and have a lovely, relaxed restaurant. They also have wine and cheese tasting if you don't have time for a leisurely lunch!

Seaside spirit
So Christmas is finally over and I'm hoping you had a lovely time with friends and family. I had a great Christmas with my family in Hermanus, which is, for those of you who don't know, a seaside town about an hour away from Cape Town. I'm quite happy to be saying goodbye to all the Christmas decor and putting it away until next year! Instead I'm now welcoming the cool calm blues of the ocean and sky and enjoying being on holiday at the sea. These photos styled by Christine Rudolph totally capture the mood, absolutely gorgeous...

DIY A Cocktail Dress
Here's the funny thing about this DIY: While yes, you will be making a cocktail dress, there will be no cock in your proximity. There will, however be loads o'tail. Let's continue.
Last May when Joy Bryant wore a Marchesa gown to the CFDA awards, I eloquently proclaimed, "puff sleeves make the peen go down." This school of thought still holds true.
Behold: Forty nine dollars and fifty cents of glory.
I wasn't wearing it and so he was relieved...but then I showed up wearing this!
Back to the DIY. Yes sure, the dress is a Man Repeller as it is, "a cry for attention," if you will. Even so though, the body is tight and that shit is mini. So I ask you this: why bare your legs and risk the potential of attracting a man when you can turn the little party dress into celibacy inducing formal wear? All you'll need is a few layers of black chiffon(and a sewing machine.)
And then...voila!
Like I always say, just add birth control glasses.
...and a leopard print bench. You know, for dramatic effect.
I conclude saying this: it's possible to get cocktail ready without compromising your inherent affinity for deterring the c-word, I couldn't say it again, I just couldn't, so get a little fancy this New Years Eve.
Happy man-hunting!
Psych!

Ultimately, I blame Giambattista Valli and Marchesa for bringing back the 80s sleeve but in today's installment of Do It Yourself Fashions, we look to the budget conscious weener fenders at H&M. Behold: Forty nine dollars and fifty cents of glory.

I saw the sleeves, I saw the sequins, and in an excited slur I thought, "holy man repeller, I have to have you." So much so, I didn't even have time to properly take off my jeans. I tweeted this photo about two months ago and in that moment, I was going to meet a man friend. He texted me and said "I saw your tweet, please tell me that's not what you're wearing. If it is, I'm canceling dinner tonight."I wasn't wearing it and so he was relieved...but then I showed up wearing this!

Add a military jacket and watch an Amish flair meet the Jew within. Sorry, sucka. Joke was on you. Back to the DIY. Yes sure, the dress is a Man Repeller as it is, "a cry for attention," if you will.

Out in the country
Doesn't this look idyllic, a huge house with a rambling garden, a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. Growing herbs, painting, what a great lifestyle!
