Madame Zingara

On sunday I went to Madame Zingara in Cape Town with Ryan,
Robin, Zané, Brett, Jamie and two other peeps to celebrate Brett’s
birthday. It was crazy cool! So weird and different. It felt like I
fell into the rabbit hole and found myself in wonderland. Sofie in
Wonderland. Yes. Haha. All the weird and wonderful acts bending
their bodies in all sorts of crazy ways. Everyone walking around
wearing masks and crazy hats and outfits. Even a mad-hatter like
guy walking around! I loved every second of it!

Pretty cool!!

Last Homegrown – Cape Town 2012

Here is something that I completely forgot to blog about. Last year we (me, Ryan, Robin, Martin, Nikki, Preller and Sam) all drove down from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town to go to the last Homegrown party ever on nov 3rd. We only started driving at like 6pm so we got to Cape Town at about 4 in the morning haha. 2 cars 7 peeps. The next day we met up with Zané, Niki, Brett and Alisha to party. We went to the Last Homegrown ever and the next day we all drove back again. It’s about 8 hours one way to drive haha. So here are some photos and a video that my boyfriend and his brother made  from that party  - which was insane!!

On our way to the Waterfront.

Lunch and drinks somewhere by the Waterfront. I’m the BOSS haha.

In the taxi on our way to Signal Hill.

Nikki and I in the taxi – I’m making a funny face

December 2012 – random photos

So this post is a bit late… It’s now almost the end of January, but I still want to share some of my december 2012 adventures with you guys

Like I told you in one of my previous posts (I think…) I spent december in Cape Town. My dad and his wife came down to visit for two weeks and we had a lovely but intense time haha. Trying to do as much as possible in two weeks and washing it down with drinks

 

 

Wine tasting tour haha was supposed to visit 5 different wine farms but only did 2… Fairview and Spice Route. Loved it!

Will post more photos once my dad and his wife stop being too busy in Thailand to send them to me

Spray paint Picasso – part 1.

Here’s the deal right, I thought we were going to move to a new apartment here in P.E. but after checking the few available ones out we decided that the apartment we have now is way better. So we decided to buy new furniture instead and I was supposed to be fixing the whole interior decorating thing and all. But now it seems the plan has changed again and we are looking to move to Cape Town sometime this year instead. Don’t get me wrong I’m very excited about it but it means I have to wait with all my plans until we know where we’ll end up. All my ideas have to be stored away at the back of my mind for a while. The thing is I’m so into all this stuff right now and so I figured if I can’t redecorate this place then I’m gonna make my own painting. Yesterday I went out and bought spray paints and a canvas and stuff and this morning I let my inner Picasso out The painting is far from ready but I love my little project.
I need to buy some more black paint before I can continue.

End of the world – not so much.

Obviously the world did not end today haha. Sorry peeps in bunkers all over the world that wasted your day. After going to Table Mountain I had a nice and chilled picnic lunch in the park with Ryan, my dad and Lena today. Baguettes, cheeses, potato salad, greek salad, crostinis and cashews = YUM. The weather was amazing, 36 degrees! We were supposed to go on a sunset cruise this evening but the weather changed into this:

So Ryan and I have been chilling at home instead. Tomorrow Zané and Robin are back in town and its party time again ; ) I’m excited! And just a few days til Christmas!!!

Table Mountain

My dad and his wife have been here since Monday and Ryan and I have been doing a whole bunch of stuff with them – been to the beach in Camps Bay, went for a drive and spotted a whale, had a LOT to eat and drink at different restaurants, went to the Waterfront and today we took a cable car up Table Mountain. So beautiful up there with the most amazing view.

Cape Town baby!!

Road tripping with Ryan : ) Port Elizabeth to Cape Town. 4 weeks holiday dolls – amazing!! Tomorrow my dad and his wife gets here and are gonna spend 2 weeks in CT with us before they leave for Thailand. Excited! First time they meet everyone ; )

It’s been a while…

So I haven’t posted anything since I got to Cape Town. Now we are back in Port Elizabeth again – have been for over a month. Cut back on the drinks (except for a few heavy weekends here) and the super unhealthy eating. But not quite back to normal yet. Mostly cause I can’t exercise – fell into a ravine and hurt my knee pretty bad so can’t run or jump around Well ok it wasn’t so much a ravine…more like I was struggling in the dark and fell 2 meters onto a nasty half concrete like surface. Anyway…! This weekend we are having a combined birthday party for me and Martin, his birthday is tomorrow and mine is on Monday. It’s all 70′s themed and disco decorated I’m so excited its not even funny!!!!
Here is me trying on my wig and hat that I will be wearing:

Tuesday – Zané’s birthday!

Lovely day today Had lunch, nachos what else haha, and yummy drinks at the Fat Cactus with Zané and Olivia and am now getting ready for Bitch Bingo today to celebrate Zané’s birthday Got a super nice package from my dad and his wife back in Sweden full of clothes and licorice! Love it!! :)

Cape Town – the first week

Hello again my lovelies! I have been very absent and non-blogging since we left Port Elizabeth. But for a very good reason – Beer. Haha It has been lots of fun this week, the last week before the Ryan and Robins surf trip to Indonesia. And after a heavy night last night I said good bye and off they went this morning. 32 days. Crazy!

We have been drinking beer every day this week because it was a holiday and all, also because every second word Robin said was ‘Beer’ haha. So now it’s time to calm down a bit, get back into healthier habits and explore this city! Not saying I won’t party, I just won’t party all the time, party all the time, party all the tiiiiiiiiime – like Eddie Murphy’s girl wants to. Haha lame I know but anyway….

Here are a few photos from yesterday’s drive with Ryan, Robin and their parents.

Ryan having lunch in Hout Bay (?)

Stopped for some ice-cream after lunch.

Checking for sharks!

Random Louis Vuitton

I know I haven’t been blogging at all this week so I thought I would just post a little bit of random Louis Vuitton for you guys while I take a break from my computer Ryan and Robin are leaving on saturday so tomorrow will be my last day to spend with them. I have been in Cape Town now since tuesday and I’m all settled in at ‘my place’ and loving it. Will blog more this weekend and share some photos of the place and stuff

Last friday in Port Elizabeth – for a while.

I can’t believe it’s only 4 days left before we leave to Cape Town! I am so excited!! Still have to pack, but think sunday is a good day for that.  These 3 months here in Port Elizabeth just flew by, feels like we just got here. Lately I have been feeling so happy and excited about everything, love it. I think the weather has had something to do with it, the heat and the sunshine is good for me.

Having gone a bit overboard with the exercising this week ended with me having a fever yesterday. My body’s way of saying ‘Chill out!’. But today I am feeling hundreds again and will take it easy with todays workout. Instead of jogging/power walking 25K (like I did on monday) I will just follow Tracy Anderson’s moves on one of my dvd’s. She always manages to make me kick my own butt haha. I was actually looking to buy her Metamorphosis dvd’s but it turns out that you can only get them from her own website http://tracyandersonmethod.com/. With all the weird customs rules and charges and stuff I’m gonna pass on those dvd’s.

Outfit of the Day – Friday

Black shirt from JayJay’s, leopard print shorts from h&m, belt from Foschini, shoes from Louboutin, and the sunglasses from Spitfire.

The sunglasses are the only thing I got yesterday from shopping for 5 hours, well…I also got a Nike water bottle for when I’m working out.

Not sure if we are going to Jeffreys Bay today or at all this weekend but I’m hoping we will so that I can check the shopping there. Otherwise I’m more than happy to save my money for Cape Town. But the guys need to buy stuff for their Indo trip. Almost just a month left before they leave and I will have to rock Cape Town’s socks off on my own for a while. Exciting stuff!!!
