{the thrift collection} tea party

About a month ago I entered a competition held by The Thrift Collection, and much to my surprise and excitement, I won!

If you haven't heard of The Thrift Collection - go and check out their website, and have fun doing some second-hand shopping online. If you are a lover of all things vintage, I guarantee that you'll enjoy this blog. It's such a great idea! Clothing for men & women, accessories, and home goodies are all available for purchase online. Here are some photos from their first ever Tea Party last Saturday the 27th - held at Alliance Francaise in Windemere Road, Durban.

Well done Pippa and Bevan on an awesome concept and a wonderful open day:) Looking forward to the next one.. and I'm also looking forward to spending my voucher - everything sells quickly though so if you're keen to shop, be sure to check on Sunday nights for new stock ;) xox

CT diary #8: hospice

Hospice Charity Shop: the only place in the country where you can buy a really rad skirt for only R15. My friend is a fashion designer - making fantastic fashion finds is part of her job, so she took me to her favourite Hospice in Cape Town, and after being shown a lot of weird & wonderful clothes, we both emerged with some great stuff (spending less than R50 each).

On a warm winter's afternoon in July, we drove to a little caravan camp outside of Howick and set up: armed with two cars, a tent, food, and many clothes. The models were great - they had to change outfits over and over again.. but did so without complaint:) By the end of the shoot the sun was disappearing and the temperature had dropped to arctic degrees, but the girls stood their ground courageously while I snapped away at breakneck speed..

Afterwards we were all rewarded with blankets, cheese rolls, and copious amounts of chocolate.

They had their EP {"Sky Mountain Brave"} launch in May of this year. I had just bought my Canon 550D and was overly keen to take photos. More keen than usual, and those who know me will think: "wow, really?" So I stood at the door & snapped people as they came in.

PS. I'm in here somewhere as well ;)
