i love me some animal print

i love jerseylicious. im such a fan. thanks to them im loving leopard print too - only to find out it is a major winter 2011 trend. actually, looking back, it was quite big on the 60s too, so its proven to be a classic. the trick is mixing it with base colours such as black or brown - and not to over do it. YDE has some stunning prints available. you dont have to go so bold with your print - handbag, scarves, showes and hats can help you follow this trend no problem :)

some hyde and seek

finally, a market full of goodies to rival the i heart market in durbs and some of the vintage ones in the cap. jozi has been quite slow in following this trend (and im not sure why) but now there seems to be a market that will serve this very purpose. hyde and seek is a country market where vendors sell their homemade delicacies, accessories, handmade designer clothes etc. treat your self to a chic day in jozi by visiting this market the first saturday of every month, ten to 4pm. visit their website for more info!

so, you may have noticed the signage at full stop in parkhurst - they are moving to 7th avenue parktown north in june. its kinda sad because full stop has become an institution and almost synonymous with trendy and vibey 4th. but not to fear, because artisan bakery peeps from PE are opening their 3rd (or 4th..i dont know, dont quote me) store in its place. say hello to fresh bagels, baguetters and croissants....its always nice to have another bakery in town... they are already open in 44 on stanley, so its only fitting that they open in The Hurst as well ...for more visit vovotelo.co.za
