Topshop everything at the WKND Social

On Saturday I attended the November edition of the WKND Social at MOAD (the Museum of African Design) at the Maboneng Precinct in Johannesburg and what a fun event it was. It was made doubly fun by the fact that I sat at the Topshop table with the Topshop brand manager Lauren Avgitidis, the Topshop Marketing Manager, Cornelia Pieterse, the Busby House PR Manager, Kerrin Tessendorf, and some super fashionable Joburg bloggers Thithi Nteta of Teeteeiswithme, Irina Doman of I'll Take It All, and Jess Lupton of Gaschette Magazine, and we were all decked out in Topshop's finest pieces. Of course I wore all black everything (nevermind the heat!) - a quilted leather top I absolutely had to own, and that black vinyl pelmet skirt is it. Topshop is always right up in my list of places to get an outfit - I want everything there!

The Absolut vodka bottomless cocktails went down so well and the tacos totally reminded me of the States. Oh, and it was so awesome to be surrounded by the guys of I See A Different You's Native Nostalgia's exhibition (I mean, their 1975 Mercedes 280E (W114) is parked right in the middle of the gallery - how amazing?). Thank you to Topshop for the lovely afternoon!

Out and about

With Nthabi

So these are just a couple of snaps from my out-and-aboutness on the streets of Joburg. The first shot is from the super memorable PUMA Social Club where Okmalumkoolkat and Spoek Mathambo both performed on the same night. Now you can imagine my excitement - 2 of my absolute favourite artists on stage, at once - I could die. Needless to say, much jumping ensued. Thank goodness I had on my brand new Superga creepers with the snake detail - comfort! (Side note - those Topshop high waisted jeans are now my fave pair)

The second snaps are from the December edition of the WKND Social. I love the last picture shot by Thithi Nteta. If you don't already know about the WKND Social, it's a monthly 'social' that brings together good people, good food (at the brunch) and good music (at the day party right after the brunch) at different venues in Johannesburg. It was first time there, and I enjoyed it so much that it definitely won't be last.

I fell in love with my matador hat the instant I saw it. The leather skirt is a pretty little thing from local label, Missshape, and the shirt - or what I like to call my 'Prince of Bel Air shirt' - another acquisition from My Sister's Closet Vintage sale. Fashion - gotta love
