many floating umbrellas

if you’re currently in johannesburg, you, like me, will be and have been experiencing rain, and lots of it since saturday morning, and even though this is my favourite kind of weather, trying to enjoy a friend’s birthday weekend in braamfontein when its pouring can really put a damper on things. so i thought it would be nice to reminisce about a sunnier time, literally a week earlier in the same place, so we can hope to remember what it feels like not to constantly be soaking wet.

Welcome To My Neighbourgood

Welcome To My Neighbourgood
A long overdue post with a punny title – ah, that seems familiar. Very true to character. Very. Anywho, like I mentioned in my previous Street Style post, last Saturday, my sister and I ventured to Braamfontein and the Neighbourgoods Market. Such a happy vibe.

In other news, I went back to school this week, and as anyone can possibly imagine, going back to the daily routine can be strenuous on my blog. It’s been rough – can you imagine, in only four days, we started and completed the diffraction section in physics? *sigh*. So my blog might take a backseat until I can find the perfect balance. 
And since I’m not feeling very wordy today, please enjoy all the photos I took. 

Braamfontein Street Style

Braamfontein Street Style

Before I begin, lemme just say that yesterday has broken my heart completely. I pray for justice for Trayvon and peace for the Monteiths. What a day.

On Saturday, my sister Sope and I went to Braamfontein and the Neighbourgoods Market (but that is a separate post in itself). For the first time, I felt brave enough to try and do some street style photography – but bear in mind, I am not a street style photographer and this is my first time, so I’m getting there. Braamfontein is where you can find all the ‘hipsters’, so to speak, so while I didn’t manage to shoot all the interesting outfits I saw, I shot some pretty cool ones too.
