On the drive to Sun City from Johannesburg, you usually have to stop at this one flea market on the way. It’s very hard to miss, and it’s definitely a huge tourist trap. For a long stretch of road, there’s African clothing markets, trinket shops, restaurants and fruit stalls on the side of the road, and when I went a few weeks ago with my family and saw the beaded Zulu necklaces, I was glad to finally find a place where I could get one!

what i wore | graduation gear

in the next installment of dearsolo goes to cape town, here’s just the breakdown of what i wore on that day. it may not have been my day, but i at least wanted to try to look nice – and what’s nice than all black everything?

i also got to (finally) wear my mr price heels in public! i’ve worn them to the movies and things, but this was their official debut. i absolutely love my shoes – not only are they on trend with their black leather + cut outs, they’re so soft, light and incredibly comfortable! i literally wore them all day and the only reason my feet were sore was because of uct’s stoned pavements. besides, i got one helluva calve work out!

Happy Blogaversary DearSolo!

Happy Blogaversary DearSolo!

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, today is this little ole blog’s first birthday! (I didn’t intend on making a post today but then I changed my mind – of course I had to).

I just wanted to say a little thank you to my mother who takes me places and sometimes takes photos for me, my dad for getting me my Canon and the Wifi in my house (bless you!) but mostly:

The readers!!


Without you guys, I wouldn’t have 3500+ pageviews despite my six month hiatus and everyone’s lovely words, comments and IFB messages literally mean so much to me! The Independent Fashion Bloggers are the most amazing, encouraging and supportive people ever! Thank you thank you thank you!

I hope I wont disappoint any of you guys in the future!

Thank you all so much once again!

It happens to be my blog’s first birthday tomorrow! I would celebrate it properly but I spent about half of that year on a hiatus so I don’t think it counts – but I just wanted to thank you all so much for the support!
