Travel South Africa: Escape to Shortmarket Street Apartment
Is Cape Town CBD’s hospitality moment over? Efforts to find reasonably priced places in the city, to rest your head without sharing said bed with bugs & room with other beings, leave most visitors to the Mother City frustrated…but I found a neat gem. There is a hospitality establishment with its interiors painted in soothing…
Cape Town foodie escapades: Makaron Restaurant Review
Following 2-hour traffic delays during my roadtrip, sweltering Cape Town heat – and amid my taking in the vivid wonder of Majeka House’s luxury hotel suites – I had to placate my rumbling tummy. Majeka House & Spa is a boutique hotel nestled in the leafy green suburb of Stellenbosch’s Paradyskloof. One experiences an idyllic…
Cape Town foodie escapades: Asoka Restaurant Review
Pretty much a 9/10 folks There’s no way I could give Asoka Restaurant, Bar & Lounge anything else. It is an eye-catching, taste-bud tingling, stylish, and zen wonderland. In a cosmopolitan city as vibrant and saturated in history as Cape Town, there is no telling how many low-key galleries, hidden architectural gems, exclusive parties and clandestine lounges…
Cape Town foodie escapades: Dalliance Restaurant Review
So I get a lovely invite in my mailbox, welcoming me to come dine in the newly revamped urban eatery Dalliance Restaurant & Bar – located within the ‘gold mile’ of Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, in Cape Town. I eagerly accepted the gracious invite to a place I dismissed entering before, due to the assumption…
Cape Town foodie escapades: Dapper Coffee Co. Review
I’m sure you’ve seen my foodie escapades focused more on nightlife dining, but I like to switch it up. Today’s Cape Town foodie escapade took me for a lunch break at the corner of Strand & Bree Street, in the Cape Town central business district. Attracting the gaze of any passer-by, is a counterpoised establishment,…
Cape Town foodie escapades: Gold Restaurant Review
There is a gold-standard, quintessential African experience nestled in the bustling city center of Cape Town. It may initially seem as desultory as Mama Africa Restaurant on Long Street; but what seems unassuming and shallow at first glance, masks a most charming dining experience. Today’s foodie escapade, took me to the GOLD Restaurant. The Gold restaurant…
Cape Town foodie escapades: Raya Kitchen Review
Let’s keep this simple from the start: Raya Kitchen does its duty as a contributor to world-renowned fine dining experiences. What follows that summation, will pretty much be me assessing my dining experience through the fine haze of foodie contentment, and sleepiness. It likely comes as a surprise to most – unfamiliar with South Africa…
Vogue declares war on Fashion Bloggers…but let’s get a few things straight!
It’s crazy to think of the strides the realm of blogging has made in the world, just over the past 5 years. Before the zenith of blogging, bloggers wouldn’t have merited even a mention in the pages of marketing modules, but now we have revolutionized the way in which brands advertise and market themselves. I…
Cape Town foodie escapades: Richards Review
Located at the corner of Glengariff and Main Road Sea Point, Cape Town, is a theatre venue known as Richards Supper & Bistro. I got invited for a night dedicated to a spectacle. When I arrived, I walked on through upstairs to their Supper Stage, which is predicated on transporting both local and international guests “into…
The Saxon Vs. Fairlawns: 5-Star Joburg Hotel Review
I pride myself, as a blogger who writes about fashion, lifestyle, film, literature etc. to always relay the ‘klaasiest’ finds I come across. During my Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week escapades in Johannesburg, I got to experience pure class at two rather exquisite hospitality establishments: The Saxon Hotel and Fairlawns Boutique Hotel. So I decided to do…
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: Johannesburg 2016 – Day 3
Day 3, and I was tired but still wired – like I had mainlined caffeine after running a marathon. I tell you, high heels are not for the faint hearted. Anywhooo, after returning to my hotel from Day 2 of fashion week, I edited and uploaded some pictures to my Instagram, and then promptly passed right…
Burn the Floor: A Dance Production Review…with wine!
Be still my pop culture heart! I’ve seen similar dance productions played through my TV screen in some of my favorite movies and television shows, and figured I’d get my chance to experience the spectacles once I’d touched down in New York, and experienced the marvels of Broadway like a true tourist. The first and…
Cycling Rules!
As you’ve probably gleamed from my post about hiking, I really don’t like exercise and I definitely haven’t warmed to the idea of a repeat hiking expedition. So my friend Liezel decided to try a new angle for getting me active, and? It worked! Now, I am not ready to brave the rough and rocky…
Outfit of the Day: The Stepford Wife
You bet your shapely derriere I can pull off The Stepford Wife look. …well a modern re-imagined version atleast. This isn’t a styled up photoshoot look. I would wear this any day my good people. Today I’m taking you to: The 12 Apostles Hotel‘s Leopard Bar on the fringes of Cape Town. The hotel is an award-winning 5-star boutique…
Dining Review: The Famous Butchers Grill
Welcome to a brief review of a most horrendous dining experience. My friends and I chose to dine at an ill-named restaurant called “The Famous Butchers Grill” in Cape Town yesterday night. Obviously we had thee highest of expectations regarding the grill, considering the hype of its name…Boy!were we in for a surprise. I ordered a…
Hello from the Bay side
So I decided to brave the wave of early summer sweat-stained bodies and do some window shopping in Greenacres – a mall in Port Elizabeth currently undergoing a major facelift. Making itself known with loud, embarrassing and echoing wails, and gnawing contractions, my hungry tummy led me to a new establishment to get my grub…
Lunch Amiamo
Had to get a new charger for my laptop and I’ve not been in the vicinity of unlimited WiFi for a while, so apologies for the mild blogging absence. Decided to treat myself to a day out at the mall. Watched a film at Ster Kinekor called “Seventh Son”. It rates a 3/10 but the casting gets a…
Cape Town hideouts: The Terrace
There are thousands of websites, and equally as many publications, that sport reviews and recommendations of places to stay when you’re in specific cities. This post will adhere to that convention and proceed to rave fanatically about a B&B nestled in the city of Cape Town, South Africa, with the backdrop of one of the…
Literature Review: “A South African Dictionary”
“Light, entertaining read. Well executed in its own context.” Siyabonga Nyezi’s contribution to literature begins with a booklet that presides over South Africa’s biggest figures, most controversial stories, and the behavioral mannerisms South African’s have endearing termed. Using the careful innate judgement of a fledgling navigating the crevices of politically correct phrasing and hindsight learned through…
Delayed reaction: I made the papers
So after I went to the Lingerie Fashion Show hosted by Cosmopolitan and Marie Claire I got myself snapped in a national South African newspaper called ” Sunday World “. My review is still awaiting publishing, but I might agree with the Shwashwi from the papers.
Re-Awakening the “Underworld”Fanatics
Puffs out chest all chuffed-like I am pleased to inform you that I was one of the first South Africans to watch this movie. I am awed to introduce to you – The 2012 ”Underworld 4” Movie Review. Not all Vampire/werewolf movies are meaningless titillation for the one-track mind. The new “Underworld 4: Awakening” is…
