...tea party, please!...

Yesterday Tania phoned and said I had to meet her at McDonald's Rivonia cause she has a present for me...and oh my I love presents, especially this one....Just look at my pretty tea cups that I got as a thank you. She saw them at a shop in Sunninghill called 'Just Ginns' (which Colleen keeps telling me about) and immediately bought them for me. Thanks friend, I love love love them!

 Now I have to plan a tea party as soon as possible. All my girls should come over one morning and we can have tea and cupcakes, with pretty summer dresses and stroh hats....yes please!

...I could eat cheese all day looooong...

After talking about cheese at lunch today I randomly found this on pinterest...and its me on a print....My favourite food and colour in one print...I have Esti to blame for my cheese addiction. When we lived together for all those years we always had to have cheese and coke in the house and she got me hooked on the cheese thing. I need cheese in my life. Daily. It makes me incredibly happy, almost happier than shoes.

Thank pinterest for inspiring me daily!

...i just had to...

Friday at work was super duper hectic and I was running around like a headless chicken and between all of this Lameez and I had to go to Sandton to get some cupcakes and balloons for a shoot. So we happened to walk into Woolies...and there they were, on a beautiful mannequin, the pretties summer wedges ever, calling our names....we just couldn't leave them and each bought a pair!!! Now we are a pair of shoes richer and have happy hearts...

Thank you Woolworths!

...mmmm, lucky moo....

Wollie and me decided to pig out on Friday night! We stuffed our faces, set up my computer in front of our bed, (cause my computer screen is now bigger than or TV...fact!) and watched True Blood till we fell asleep! It was glorious!

Everyone has been talking about the new Chinese take away place in Parkhurst, Lucky Moo, and we finally decided to try it out! The food was great, but the experience not so much! We ordered sushi, spring rolls (which we never got) and a main meal each.  It was a mission to get the food, there were tons of people and I even phoned in to place the oredr which then still took ages. When we got home we realised that we never got our spring rolls, which was disappointing. BUT the food is good and the boxes are adorable!!!! Definitely worth a try, just check your order before you leave!

Cute packaging and ymmu food!

...i want to ride my bicycle...

Isn't this just the coolest bike ever....thanks Jenilee... She found this on coolhunter's facebook page.
I wish I could ride to work with this beauty. I would add a cute little shopping basket at the front to for my handbag and some flowers.
No traffic and pretty bike = happy Andrea!!!

...rocking with Arno...

One of the main reason I wanted to go to Rocking the Gardens was to see one of the sexiest men in SA music....and wow...was he HOT! Springbok Nude Girls rocked the crowd and we were there, dancing our faces off to bubblegum on my boots today...he was HOT HOT HOT!!!!

Pictures taken by Brendon Bishop...thanks!

This is the way Sunday's are supposed to be spent! Lying on blankets with friends, watching bands, drinking waaaay to much beer and laughing at some CRAZY freak jumping around on springy things scaring little kids...! I could totally make that my job. Oh and they were handing out free condoms the entire day, so I just had to take a picture!

Could totally do this every weekend!

...hello my little friend...

I finally got my iMac...I have been looking and wanting for ages and on Sunday morning I took the leap and bought my brand spanking new, super big, beautiful iMac. I love it!

Unpacking the coolest toy in my pj on Sunday evening!!!

...my iTunes is in a good mood today...

I am sharing my super cheeriness with everyone today... I feel slighty weird to do this, but I figured you dont get these days very often and if you do then spread the love!

My iTunes is playing the best music ever today...and I love it!!!! All I wanna do is dance.
All this great music is putting me in an awesome mood and tonight I am having dinner with some of my favourite peeps (they are almost family) ....I cannot wait. What a great Thursday!!!!

When I went to pinterest to look at pretty things and found this which totally went with what I am feeling today and I just had to share it!!!!

 Hope my super cheeryness today doesnt make anyone vomit. (especially Claire)

...tell me whats your colour...

Check out this little colour quizz. I found it while browsing How About Orange
My personality colour is yellow and I think its pretty spot on! After doing the test, I went through my inspiration folder (again!) and found so many yellow things in there, so I just had to make my own little inspiration board!!!

This is what it said about me.... 
Your color personality is: Yellow  
Like yellow's strongest symbol, the sun, you radiate warmth. Others love to be around you because you have a gift for always looking on the bright side, and your ready smile can be infectious. Chances are your calendar is packed -- yellow lovers tend to be always on the go!Your signature color indicates someone imaginative and creative, so don't be afraid to express yourself through the way you dress and the way you decorate your home. Cheerful yellow is the ideal hue for a kitchen, laundry room, or any room that needs some extra brightness.

(from Better Homes and Gardens)...

I think I like yellow as my colour....
 

...amazing wall calendar...

wow wow wow...this is just too pretty. I think I want to get one and put it up in my kitchen...

The boys always do an Africa trip once a year and this is Wollie in Zanzibar a while back. They have started planning the next one so it just made me think how I would love to be there right now.

...before and after....

Guys, look at these amazing before and afters that I found on Design*Sponge.

 We actually have a chair at home that I stole from Chene when she was working at a lodge outside Pretoria...its salmon pink velvet and very disgusting but will one day turn into a pretty comfortable reading chair.
