August rush

Hello everyone! I hope you have all had time to explore my new site. I appreciate all the feedback and kind comments. 

A lot has been happening in my life since my last blog entry. I had the wonderful opportunity to assist décor stylist Kate Boswell. Kate and I spent the first part of our day working on a garden setting article, compiled by Mandy Allen and photographed by the very talented Sean Calitz. We had so much fun setting up and styling the beautiful courtyard setting that we almost lost track of time.  To duplicate Kate’s style at home in 5 easy steps turn to page 141 of the September 2009 issue of House and Leisure. However if you are already flipping through the October issue or have missed the article, I have included one of my own snaps below and a sample of the article in pdf format here (478.39 kb). Happy reading. 

Our afternoon proceeded with a dress rehearsal for hip hop dancers. The brief; styling hip hops dancers for a commercial to promote a new shoe brand in South Africa.  Keep your eyes open boys and girls …

August also brought a few other surprises and challenges. I started writing for a new online publication and finalised my online picture portfolio, but the most exciting news of all that I want to share with you is about my move. Just a few weeks ago, it felt like hubby and I would never see this day coming. It dragged on day by day, minute by minute, and then all of a sudden while we were carrying on with our lives, our apartment was empty, my books, clothing and butchers block dispatched (priorities right?), our plans were made, friends and family members greeted and we were one foot into what would become our new home. Where did we move to you ask? I will give you a hint; they call it … the city that never sleeps… Until next time ;)

Stay wonderful.
