Friday Easy Chic

First Friday back in Melbourne so it called for coffee at my new haunt, The Mess Hall, and then lunch with one of my closest friends, Moo (real name Mervin). He's a hairdresser slash makeup artist with an unbelievable sense of style so I was dying to chit chat about good-for-budget pieces that caught my eye at both Club Monaco and Lane Crawford in Hong Kong last week. This is what I wore.

I snapped up these pumps within a few minutes of walking into Marais, a store ahead of its time here in Melbourne, nearly five years ago. I remember immediately putting on them after paying for them to ease my guilt about my random purchase and strutting my stuff back to work repping for my continent.

Yes - there aren't very many black butterflies in Australia repping for Mama Africa so that's where I come in!

I recently got back from my beloved Zimbabwe where I spent an amazing three and a bit months.

Words can't describe how much I miss my immediate family [smirk], close friends and even people I worked with in the family-business who tested my sanity on a daily basis. I miss seeing the same airtime guy laughing hysterically on his phone talking to his girl. I miss the female tellers at a bank next door to work who freely shared their relationship issues. I really miss clean air, eating food that isn't genetically modified, the consistent weather and my people's smiles and almost bewildering positivity. Yes... I'm badly, deeply and passionately in love with Zimbabwe. 

After a quick-ish coffee with a friend at a new-ish cafe, I made a list of all the things I needed to cook my favourite meal. Funnily enough, I never made it to the supermarket but f*** I had a great day!
