It's Friday and I...



... know I've been very quiet on my blog in the last week! Sorry peeps.

... am going to Wellington and Stellenbosch this weekend to 'observe' students' partying. Yes, kinda like a project. Partying for research is what I'll call it.

... love how my sister and my 'fan page' of Twice the Taste have grown in just three days!

... am hunting for the perfect dress to wear to a wedding. It's gotta be really sexy yet still appropriate for a wedding. I need help!

... was scared, or rather on the safe side, to change my whole look, but I did it and I fucking love it.

... signed the contract for our new house yesterday. I can't WAIT to move.

... had blanket-prints on my nails this morning, because the nail polish didn't dry properly. The yellow I had on before, looked better than the mess I have now.

... wish the 'office make-over' (more like 'make-under') will come to an end. Being high on glue and paint gets really boring after a while.

... need to start working on the Twice the Taste blog before I can start promoting it. Photo shoots, layouts and designs to be done.

... want to create a stir in JHB over the holidays. My sister and I feel like flying up, stay for a couple of days and just party party party!

... need (and want) new sunglasses for Summer! Miu Miu, Madonna D&G, yes please!

... still haven't replaced my stolen camera. Damn, I should've had insurance cover.

... would love to be a socialite full-time.

... am craving a chicken salad, which is not normal for me. Salads, that is.  

I don't know about you, but I would give anything to go home and get this weekend started!

Go big my lovelies!

Things every girl SHOULD invest in!

Here are some fashionable and girly things, I believe, every girl should have. Yes, you are allowed to call them 'investments'.

You should definitely make sure you have that sexy little black dress in your wardrobe for a special occasion or for that date.

Invest in a proper handbag. Maybe not Louis Vuitton but a fashionable handbag that will last you a lifetime! Remember, we carry our lives in them, so get something that reflects who you are.

Every girl should have a really sexy bikini that's unpractical and not made for swimming or water sports. At all. Yes, the bikini that you wear to Clifton or Malibu only.

BOOTS! It could get pricy, but leather boots really last and the longer you wear it, the more character it gets.

Every girl should definitely invest in a proper nail polish (essie is a great choice) in a daring colour!

Oversized earrings make such a statement and it glams up any outfit! Oversized-anything is good, actually!

I'll admit, perfume is something I'm really stingy to spend money on, but I believe that every girl should have a bottle of expensive perfume. Don't wear it every day. Only wear it on really special occasions. Your smell says a lot about you and something that will always be associated with you.

Why not go the girly route and own a pink gadget? I have a pink flash drive, a pink iPod and a pink camera, and I love it! Even my laptop has got pink prints on it.

I know a girl can never have enough shoes (and I will always encourage this), but invest in, at least, one pair of great heels. Believe me, the feeling of wearing designer heels that had cost you a small fortune, just gives you such an amazing feeling. In those shoes, you will conquer the world. And remember, the uncomfortable ones are usually the ones that make the statement. So we all suffer for beauty.

I don't think I need to elaborate, but yes, sexy lingerie is essential.

Sunglasses, an absolute must-have, but not just any! It really is worth it to spend money on decent shades, because, after all, this is one accessory that actually serves a purpose! I've just started with my collection.

Last, but not least, get some sailor-inspired fashion items. It's going to be big this summer! Think red, navy, white, stripes, anchors or even a Captain's hat!

What other things can you add to this list, girls?
