clothes on another girl's body

Image from here.

so i really loves clothes, and i especially love scouring thrift stores for awesome once-in-a-lifetime pieces.

i also tend to watch people and occasionally admire their fashion sense. i'll sometimes be out or at a concert or an event and look at what everyone's wearing and then allow myself to pick one item from every person to have (Even though i know i'm not really goin to have it) and it's kinda fun.

i love the outfits that these girls are wearing.

Cigarettes are fashion just in pictures!

Talking about cigarettes in fashion!

I am not a smoker, and I prefer that. Even if we all know that smoking is really bad there is something sexy about it at least on the pictures. However, if people want to smoke, that's their choice.
  I love the photos and I think there is something alluring and nostalgic about the cigarette as accessory .

River Dance


last night i got to see the river dance show at the Grand Arena, Grand West Casino and wow was it awesome!

My grandparents and dad are Irish and when i was little i used to sit in front of the television and watch their old VHS of Michael Flatley and the rest of the performers tap their hearts out. i always marvelled at how pretty all the dancers were and how daintily they moved (i was and probably always will be a bit of a klutz). i would daydream about being onstage and flipping my hair up like they did.

it was so incredible to see the dancers live and even though i was quite high up i was still mesmerised by the unison and power of the performance.one thing that was a bit of a disappointment was that there was no running theme or story-line, the skits seemed a bit disjointed.

but we got to see Irish dancing, an excellent violinist, singing, a bagpipe player and even some good old traditional jazz tap.

i would recommend anyone go see the show! it was phenomenal!

Staying Warm with the Feinest


Hello Fein Girls!
Winter is when you really see who has style and who does not. Layers of clothing lead to more opportunities to show off innovative and edgy looks. In a place like New York City standing out from the crowd is no easy task. You have to have the right look coupled with the trendiest new editions. Winter coats and colors can be fun and unique, but accessories are where you can really shine. This winter has been one for the ages, both in fashion and weather. Hats, scarfs, and gloves have become a necessity on both levels. With that said, this winter the fingerless glove has been the thing no lady can be without.

This new style is a far cry from the bikers riding around town. Designers have taken this rugged look and transformed it into something sleek and elegant. Whether your stepping outside to have a cigarette, sending texts to all your trendy friends, or strolling into the latest art installation, fingerless gloves have made their mark! Here are some styles we can not get enough of!

These Milly 'Bow' Merino Wool Gloves are complimented with a beautiful silk drawstring bow that adds a bit of romance to the hand-crocheted fingerless glove.
available @ Nordstrom

Autumn Cashmere offers great cotton and cashmere blends that will keep you stylish all year through. These Tweed Fingerless Gloves come in Black and Winter White.

Thats not all Fein Girls here are other styles that we absolutely love, and you will too!

Take a cue from us and add a pair of fingerless gloves to your evening attire for instant glamour.These beauties were sent down the runway for Chanel (above), but Alessandra Facchinetti at Valentino has caught on too as evidenced by these sparkly ones.



Above, from left: DKNY Cashmere Pop Top Glove, $65, available at DKNY; Juicy Couture Text Me Electronic Gloves, $78, available at Shopbop.

Stay fashionably warm!

Xoxo,
The Fein Girls

a sunday afternoon cocktail



my uncle and aunt have a friend down from England so my mom spent the day with them at Cape Point today. on their way back home they decided to go to Sirocco in Kalk Bay for a quick cocktail so picked me up on their way (lucky me).

If you like mojitos then i suggest you make your way to Sirocco; man, oh man it was good! so tangy and pepperminty!it has to be one of the best-tasting mojitos i've ever tried.

i had a plain croissant to go with it and wasn't impressed, to me croissants are supposed to be light and flaky but this one was quite heavy and dense. but someone at our table ordered a piece of carrot cake and it was lovely; all caramelised and natural-tasting.

hope you've had a wonderful Sunday!

the BaxterTTT


Last night was lovely. I was invited to attend the second Baxter Theatre "Taste, Tweet and Theatre" event and took along the lovely drummer boy. I wasn't too sure what to expect and it turned out to be an awesome evening.

Diemersfontein made sure that everyone's glass was full with tangy whites and full-bodied reds. I don't often drink red wine but simply fell in love with the Pinotage - you have to try it. We were also treated to some scrumptious morsels of canapes, what a perfect way to spend a Friday evening!

I also think a visit to the wine estate's "Pinotage on Tap" is in order. It's happening sometime around October and if you enjoy live music, wine and the outdoors then I'll see you there.

It was really cool to meet some of the Tweeps in person too. I often wonder what my Twitter friends are like in person and was a little nervous about actually meeting them but everyone I met was friendly, fun and full of interesting stories.

I'm quite a shy person when I don't know people so it was quite intimidating for me to just go up to complete strangers and start up a conversation but last night made me realise that most people are naturally warm and inviting, and once the wine started to warm the insides it felt like some of us had known one another for much longer than half an hour.

We were then ushered into the theatre space to watch the show. Wow, I was completely blown away. Neo Muynga's "Memory of How it Feels" has been described as "inspired by the traditional Zulu practice of exchanging beads encoded with secret messages between lovers". The play's central theme is love, but it's message extends all boundaries. The amalgamation of visceral movement, the musicianship of the piano-, cello- and violin-players and the passionate story-telling was more than a glimpse into the intimate moments of people who love; it was an invitation into the very essence of those moments.

I love the theatre and it's because of shows like this one. The female performer, Chuma Sopotela, for me was phenomenal. Her potency flows outwards through her muscles and her vocal chords and she demands your attention when onstage in a way that endears you to her.

You should definitely go see it if you get the chance!

Happy Saturday lovelies.

The Baxter Theatre's Taste, Tweet and Theatre Event (number 2)


Ooh I'm excited, I've been invited to the Baxter's second Taste, Tweet and Theatre evening.

I get to take a partner with me (oh, how lucky you are lovely drummer boy) and enjoy a cultured evening tasting wine, snacking on canapes and watching a show at the theatre!

I can't wait! It's this Friday, so at least I won't be stuck at home while the Marja goes to the U2 concert.

Happy Monday everyone!

Oh, and how beautiful is this theatre? I found it here.
