L'Ormarins Queen's Plate 2014

Hello there sweets and compliments to the New Year. Relax,  I am not about to bore you with my endless list of New Year resolutions. However,I do apologise for staying away for too long - transitioning out of holiday mode has been so hard. This past Saturday I had a  date,well a rather a unplanned one at that: I woke up, the weather was great and I was bored.  That's when my date with the oldest distinguished royal horse-racing event on the social calendar began. Maintaining it's historical style and sophistication, the L'Ormarins Queen's Plate saw horse-racing enthusiasts and fashionistas alike parading in all things blue and white at Kenilworth racecourse of course. To be frank the fashion was just okay, nothing amazing but I can tell you this - it sure was hella have fun.

 

ELLE Style Reporter blog party.

After months of a nationwide search for the next ELLE Style Reporter in association with BlackBerry, Cape Town’s Niquita Bento of Neck of the woods took the title and the opportunity to launch a new career at last night’s ELLE Style Reporter 2013 blog party in Cape Town. Film, fashion, design, photography, music and architecture shaped this year’s event where fashion’s conceptual visionaries Suzaan Heyns and Black Coffee exhibited their work and guests celebrated the new voices in local style reporting. I personally have been a great fan of her work from the first challenge, her work is minimal yet captures the elements of her surrounding so beautifully.
