Here’s a little scrapbook of the last two weeks of my life.

We spent one week in Cape Town, and then kicked off the new year with a week in Johannesburg. I’m really grateful for this time away from my routine, my schedule. New thoughts and ideas emerge when you put yourself in new environments. I’m such a New Yorker, it’s good to let that go once and a while.

Cape Town has probably the most beautiful beaches in the world, (although I have yet to go to Australia!) My only regret is that we didn’t spend more time there. The waves were insane though, I’m so impressed by the bravery of the surfers. I’ve only surfed in Hawaii, and don’t think I’d dare try these South African waves.

We cooked so much food, for Christmas and New Years. It was really nice to live in a house, (i’m so used to city life.) And South African red wine is just to die for! I think it’s my new favorite wine in the world! Although, I’ve never been a huge fan of european wine to begin with. Except for Champagne, what a blessing, what a gift, amen Champagne.

It was cool to shoot photos every day, and take a lot more stuff that’s stripped down + real life. My boyfriend has become quite the photographer in the past year, it was hard for him to put the camera down.

I’ll be traveling again in February, I’ll fill you guys in about locations as soon as I book tickets! For now, it’s back to fashion and new york and preparing for fashion week.
