Good day people of Jozi. So this is my first post and to be honest I am a little hesitant about the thoughts that my blog will evoke amongst the community of fellow bloggers. Whilst I have seen some really amazing blogs, I have also heard that there are a variety of unspoken blogging rules. I promise only one thing, I will be honest in posts, I will be myself in the truest form and any faux pas made will be completely unintentional.
So here is a little bit about me…
- I am 26 years old…I am a very proud child of the eighties.
- I am of Portuguese descent however I am a born and raised South African Jo’burg boy.
- I have known that I wanted to work in the fashion industry since I was 6 years old.
- I don’t design or create anything…I look at what is already beautiful and simply appreciate it in its entirety.
- Nothing thrills me more than the company of family and good friends, a great meal, an even better glass of wine and finally… feeling and looking good to me is as important as breathing.
- My greatest love affair is with laughter…a love affair I choose to share with others.
A few rules I live by:
- A smile is the one thing that never goes out of style.
- Never argue with an idiot in public. People watching may not know which one you are.
- Don’t eat Italian just because you want to be Italian.
- Smile without reason. Live with reason.
- Everyone has a style, but only a select few have great style.
Why start a blog?
Well apart from it being an assignment, I actually would like to allow people to see life through my eyes for a little while…and if in the very least, I inspire one person to look at something/ anything with a fresh outlook and appreciate its beauty then my job is done.
Ciao for now…
