Lookbook- Sunsets And Palm Trees

 

There was no way I was going to a beautiful place like Mauritius and wasn’t going to take some outfit photos! The backdrop was already there so all I had to do was put on a pretty dress, which of course I did. Just before the wedding we had a little rehearsal dinner at a restaurant on the beach, and I packed this gorgeous Ted Baker baby just for the occasion.

After all it fitted in perfectly with flowers, white sandy beaches and palm trees!

As a side note, my hair was an absolute disaster to control while in Mauritius. I mean I know it’s a tropical island and all, but the humidity there was crazy! I could barely tame it down to make it look semi decent, and even then it would only last an hour or so. On the wedding day, I opted to have my hair in a plait for this exact reason, but hey embracing my curls for a little was fun.

The sunsets in Mauritius were absolutely breath-taking, and we made sure to watch them every single day. The sun went down quite quickly and early, at about 6 o’clock, and some of the nights the sky turned pink like candy floss. I loved every minute of our trip (except when I was sick on the catamaran), and I am so glad we managed to capture this beautiful dress and the sunset.

Of course heels on a beach are a huge faux paux, so I took them off and only put them back on while we were at the restaurant. What could be better than this gorgeous Mauritius sunset?

My actual face yesterday when my account was clone My actual face yesterday when my account was cloned 😩😨Please do not accept any messages from an account called irinadoman_team or insert your credit card details anywhere on this app, because scammers are out there trying hard to steal our cash 😩 My account was cloned because of a giveaway that I ran, and apparently this happens to a lot of brands and bloggers when a big prize is up for grabs! Their account gets cloned under a similar name and then their followers get a message saying that they are a winner, with a link to insert their credit card details. They say things like “We need you to cover the delivery cost of the prize” which is where they ask you to put in your card details- don’t do it!😩Anyways I was left quite traumatized from all this yesterday and the account is sadly still up, because this is Instagram 😒How fab is this photo of me getting swarmed by pigeons in Venice though?😂They were after my pizza bread 🤷🏻‍♀️ #scammerseverywhere #staywoke
Since it was our engageversary yesterday(totally a Since it was our engageversary yesterday(totally a word), let me tell you a (now) funny story about getting engaged 💍 I knew that we would be getting engaged sometime soon as we chatted about it, but I didn’t know when it would happen, so for a good month or two, I was always on standby-by mode, ready for things to happen😂 There were so many opportunities for a beautiful proposal as it was December, and we were traveling all over the country, visiting gorgeous locations 💙When Steve suggested  that we climb Lions Head in the Cape Town December heat at 12PM in the day, I did it, because I thought “Hey, maybe he will propose there(he didn’t😂)?” Then we went to visit the gorgeous Blyde River Canyon, and I thought surely this is the perfect place to do it(it wasn’t, but I did get this great pic😂)!?There were a couple of other close calls on the Balitto beach and in the bush, but in the end,  Steve chose his own time and place to do(as he usually does anyway). It was a very nerve wrecking month of my life, filled with “engagement ready” nails and outfits 😂 Who else can relate or was your engagement a total surprise😂?💁🏻‍♀️

🍷 Favourite wine farms in Cape Town 🍷 It’s 🍷 Favourite wine farms in Cape Town 🍷
It’s been a tough time for the wine industry in the last year so why not still support your fav wine farm if you can, by going there for a meal? We recently did just that when we were in Cape Town and headed to @quoinrock for a delectable picnic 🧺 . Here are some other wine farms that I love not only for their delicious wine but also for their cheese platters, yummy lunches and crazy beautiful views. Drop your favorites below because sharing is caring and let’s support our local wine industry 😊
🍷 @cavalliestate - I mean obviously, it’s why we chose it as a wedding venue! Their food is SO good, I’ve had it a few times now and even though their seasonal menu changes often, I can safely say that anything that you order from their menu will be divine 🤤 
🍷 @capepointvineyardsofficial One of the best cheese and charcuterie boards I’ve ever had was here! The views are beautiful because you see the beach AND the vineyards at the same time 😍
🍷 @beauconstantia - If you’re feeling like treating yourself then head on over to Chefs Warehouse that is in Beau Constantia, or enjoy a cheese board in the wine tasting area, overlooking some gorgeous vineyards .
🍷 @leopardsleap - Lovely for a birthday or a special occasion, Leopards Leap offers a Family Table experience  which is a mouthwatering selection of starters, mains and desserts, prepared just for you🤤At R395 a person it’s a great deal for the awesome meal that you get, believe me I’ve tried it!
🍷 @babylonstoren - a bit of an obvious one, but I can’t help but love this place 🤷🏻‍♀️You can have a foodie experience at their Babel restaurant or a relaxed lunch at the Greenhouse. 
Tell me what your favorites are that I must visit next time 🍷
My actual excited face when I heard that my favori My actual excited face when I heard that my favorite TV show Sex And The City is coming back for another season!😆😆😆 It’s no secret to anyone that knows me that I absolutely love the show(and watch on repeat all the time) and Carrie Bradshaw has definitely been one of my biggest style inspirations over the years. She was the biggest inspiration behind my wedding ceremony look(as she married her Mr Big in a white suit with the gorgeous blue Manolos too 😉)and she has inspired many of my looks over the years. From the 80s-vibe black jumpsuit that I wore in the streets of New York to whimsical tutu and tulle skirts that I bought because of her, Carrie has been a constant source of #OOTD inspiration for me! Are you as excited as I am about the reboot? Also which of these looks is your fav?
