all things french & a fantastique Cape Town giveaway

While my thoughts are spinning around all things French and fabulous, Cape Town super stylist & beautiful blogger Kim Gray launches a give-away for a weekend at Le Quartier Francaise!


It's like fate people, destiny!

So for my, like, two local followers, head over to Kim's blog right now to enter for your chance to spend a glorious weekend in the Franschhoek valley, sipping bubbly, exploring gastronomy and drinking in the most delightful scenery.

And if we don't win the giveaway, we can always treat ourselves to a little something wonderful from Kim's shop? I'm already addicted to Rosebud Strawberry Lip Balm, in love with my name necklace from Collect and slightly obsessed with owning a Flying Sprinbok in Mellow White with Salt & Pepper trim... Sigh...

For my fantastique foreign friends, go to Kim's blog anyway cause it's filled with all things bright and beautiful. Not to mention that Kim's own gorgeous wedding has even been featured on Stylemepretty!
Yep, she's that hot kiddos! Big up for the local talents!

A favour please, mes amies!

I know it's a bit cheeky, seeing how horribly I've neglected you...

But dear reader, I got the most wonderful news and I need your help.

The beautiful boy and I will be traveling to Paris in the springtime!

There will be some work to be done, but before you know it, that will be over and then we'll have a glorious week to ourselves in the city of lights and beyond.

Lucky lucky lucky me.

So, these are my questions.

Have you been?

Where did you stay?

Where did you go?

What did you see?

What was your favourite restaurant / museum / park / shop?

Erm, which brings me to: shopping! Where do I go for trendy, quirky, AFFORDABLE fashion - is there such a thing to be found in Paree?

And then.

We'll have two weekends in the city so we are considering using the week in between to see somewhere else.

So I'm thinking ...

Champagne!

Reims, Troyes, Epernay ...

What do you know? What do you think? What would you do?

Exploding with excitement.
