Morning hair in Prince's Square

Blog Post #116 | Morning hair in Prince's Square

I went for a haircut yesterday. Martin asked me how I was and whether I was enjoying staying in the Bo Kaap of Cape Town. It’s been 2 months since we left the little cottage in Kenilworth that we’d been housesitting and I realized that I still hadn’t met my neighbours.

I was just living in a new neighbourhood but I wasn’t actually part of the community.

Kenilworth and the coming Autumnhad shown…

Garreth Barclay | 2015

Blog Post #113 | Garreth Barclay | 2015

After my test shoot with Cornelius Käss my book still needed some lingerie shots. My agency paired me up with well-known South African photographer Garreth Barclay and the following edgy images were the result of our shoot. Jauneileen Lodge did the styling and Sian Bianca Moss hair and make-up.

So a few weeks ago there was a scout from Hong Konglooking to sign some models for their season over…

Cornelius Käss | 2015

Blog Post #112 | Cornelius Käss | 2015

A lot can happen in six months. Ed shared our adventures in 4 new countries while we had the opportunity of spending time with both our parents and each other.

Not only did I get to know my inlaws much better, but I’ve fallen even deeper in love with this unreal husband of mine. You won’t easily find a more kind and pure heart.

We made wonderful and unforgettable new memories which took on a new…

Child of Dreams

Blog Post #110 | Child of Dreams

It’s nearly midnight when I trade my warm spot next to Chris in bed for the couch and the mac. This week I visited internal valleys that Chris had not yet ventured to with me and even arrived at peaks where Chris could share in my heart’s delights. One of them was the cutting-the-cake party and discovering that my brother and his wife are having a baby boy.

So what started off as another…

Early bird catches the worm

Blog Post #108 | Early bird catches the worm

I hate waking up early on a Saturday.

It’s the only day of the week that I have the opportunity to sleep in. I sit on the cream coloured couch and in silence I listen to the ambient sounds of our temporary and new home.

The clock’s ticking on the wall vibrates through the cottage and forms a rhythm for the symphony of natural sounds that join in. Occasional acorns drop on the roof, leaves swoosh…

Bikinis in Bantry Bay | Vince Perraud

Blog Post #107 | Bikinis in Bantry Bay | Vince Perraud

So my first test shoot for the season was French photographer Vince Perraud.

The wardrobe consisted out of bathing suits, sunnies and other beach garments and when my bookers sent me the details for the shoot, I silently freaked out inside.

Location | Bantry Bay [which is known to show off some of Cape Town’s most incredible views over the ocean]. Now I have always dreamed about those big,…

Imperfect Valentine's

Blog Post #106 | Imperfect Valentine's

Photo Library Shoots portray the perfect.

Just look at this happy couple kissing on the morning of Valentine’s Day. A scrumptious breakfast with health muffins, flapjacks and sweet strawberries. OJ, a bottle of champagne and everything covered in rose petals with soft white and dreamy lighting. Smooth skins and perfect hair. Toes that point delightfully at the touch of a lover’s lips. But let’s…

Naughty Date Balls | Healthy Date Bars

Blog Post #103 Naughty Date Balls | Healthy Date Bars

Chris and I love going on dates. Just the two of us doing something we both enjoy. We’re passionate about the kitchen and after living in a Date Paradise for nearly two months, we decided to make something of it. Every shop and corner in Muscat sells dates at such affordable prices and we soon found ourselves looking into recipes with that one main ingredient.

Though we changed both recipes just…
