There really is nothing quite like spending a few blissful days in the beautiful African bush. It also helps to be completely disconnected from modern technology - I'm talking no calls, no blackberry, no email, no internet and not even electricity (in our chalet at least). As scary as it sounds, spending a few days far away from the stressful buildup of modern living is an absolute pleasure, and one that needs to be scheduled into my calendar more often.
Often, we're so caught up in making things happen that we forget to enjoy the little pleasures in life - apart from shoe splurging that is. While shoes do offer that little spark of enthusiasm, nothing helps you to clear you mind and refocus your energy quite like sitting on an open air Landrover, driving through the bush and spotting nature's most amazing creatures.
And with that I've decided it's time to get back into my blog. Although my big blog StyleScoop is doing phenomenally well, I still need a little place to call my own - somewhere to share some random ramblings.
So, hopefully I'll be making a point to blog here more often. Whether it's sharing my favourite beauty products, fabulous fashions or my attempts at photography and decorating stay tuned...

Loubie Lust - Maggie
I first spotted these gorgeous, Ga-Ga-GEOUS Christian Louboutin heels on the cover of People magazine, and who would you think was wearing them?
Victoria Beckham (of course), who, by the way, I'm sure has more Loubies in her closet than most celebs and probably owns every single pair ever made. I wouldn't be surprised if she did!
In fact it was in her book, That Extra Half and Inch where I first spotted and fell in love with Louboutins, one specific pair (http://littleredsoles.blogspot.com/2009/08/love-affair-begins.html).
Now that's how you go to a Lakers game - VB style in Louboutins!
PS, Personally I love the tabacco and black pair, but they also come in a lilac/ navy combo which is also hot. I priced these babies on Barneys' website and they are going for $930 - R6 825, which is not bad for Louboutins, in fact it's pretty good! Now just to get my ticket to NYC and then wake up from my dream!

I HEART these heels
When I say I love these shoes, I mean I L-O-V-E them!
How beautiful are these heart-shaped Alexander Mqueen patent peep toe heels?
As if the peep toe isn't cute enough they have a gorgeous, striking yellow sole that gives them uber sex appeal! YUMMY!
I also found a hot pink pair while browsing online, as if you needed to scream louder as to just how much you love thee heels...
Just ask Taylor Momsen (AKA Little J from Gossip Girl).
All black with a pair of gorgeous pink heels, Taylor looks sexy and striking!

Had ourselves a Merry Little Christmas...
I love Christmas time, the only thing I don't like is the feeling of over-indulgence that surely follows on Boxing day!
This Christmas we had (almost) the whole family come down to Durbs, and despite the rain on Christmas eve (and day), we still managed to host a fabulous Christmas Eve dinner at our home...

Louboutin arm candy - yes please
I'm a huge fan and loyal follower of the fabulous Rachel Zoe. She has such an amazing talent to make, well, anything look super stylish and she always pulls it off in a classy and sophisticated way.
A few weeks ago I subscribed to her daily mailer - TZR (The Zoe Report) and I look forward to every days' mail. It pops into my inbox usually after 5pm which signals "me" time, and what a great way to start "me" time!
Yesterday's TZR was my favourite so far... Rachel has brought a true piece of heaven to my inbox, and while Santa didn't leave a gorgeous Christian Louboutin Cadeau clutch under my tree, this gorgeous clutch is certainly on my lust list. So, if you ever want to get me a prezzie, don't say I didn't give you any suggestions ;-p.
The Christian Louboutin Cadeau metallic gold Clutch is adorned with a beautiful bow and is said to retail at close to 900 US Dollars - so expect to fork out close to R7k to get one of these babies on your arm.

Obsession - Black and white delight
Black and white block-colour dresses have become my new obsession. I absolutely love the contrasting colours and how they can be worked for daytime or an evening affair, it just takes the right pair of shoes.
I particularly LOVE ones with high waisted styles like these ...
This one from Forever21 via www.splendicity.com is super cute, simple and classic and I love the high waisted look of it! Plus it has an understated elegance. Classic, simple... PERFECT!
Of course Mrs Beckham always makes it my style books, and here are some black and white delights from her dvb collection...
Very high-powered fashionista!
So POSH!
A longer length dvb Dress looks sensational
I was absolutely stoked when I managed to get a gorgeous black and white dress from YDE and better yet, on SALE!!!
It's not the greatest of pics, but I love this dress! It's straight cut at the bottom, with a GREAT fitting top section and I love the high waist!
