Checked out

This dress is perfection. When I saw it I had to have it. I panicked a little when I realized that it is backless. Backless is cute, but lets be honest its not practical. I was concerned about support for the girls, I decided to buy the dress and deal with the back issues later - not an advisable shopping strategy by the way. I really didn't want my bra showing at the back, so I had the idea to wear a backless one piece bikini underneath. Bikini support is not great but it had to do.

Happy Spring!

We are finally getting warm weather in Jo'burg. I hope its here to stay. 

I wore this wonderfully printed mini dress on Saturday for a picnic- not the best choice because it was so hard to sit down without flashing everyone. But on the bright side I looked ready for Summer in the bright orange print.

This post is really just about these boots. They are from Aldo, are made from patent leather, have a chunky heel , come in burgundy and black and are the perfect bootie. I'm in love. They were the perfect birthday gift from my lovely fiance.   

On my B'day!

On my birthday
Instead of counting candles,
Or tallying the years,
I Contemplate my blessings now,

Consider special people
Who love me, and who care,
And others who’ve enriched my life
Just by being there.

I Think about the memories
Passing years can never mar,
Experiences great and small
That have made me who I am.

Another year is a happy gift,
So I cut my cake, and say,
"Instead of counting birthdays,
I count blessings every day!"
