Mungo & Jemima - Cape Town's heart-throb shop!

It really makes my heart warm when you see

amazing local successes such as Mungo & Jemima...

One of Cape Town's most gorgeous fashion stores.

Started by Marian Park-Ross and Kirsty Bannerman with

their first shop in Long Street (Cape Town), this little

business has grown with great popularity amongst the boutique-lovers

of our little city and now you can find them nestled in another new little

home in Claremont!

The idea for Mungo and Jemima is to provide local

South African designers a platform with which to 

sell their garments and designs to their fashion hungry clientelle.

Mungo and Jemima have a definite style, and the layout and design of

their shops demonstrates this beautifully...

South Africa's number 1 little online fashion hub <3

So, slightly stuck on where to shop and what

to wear for this summer?

Mungo and Jemima is a MUST-VISIT, and besides,

not only are you going to be kitted out in beautiful garments

that fit perfectly and feel amazing, but you'll be supporting

our local South African fashion industry!

Below are a few snippets taken from their

Summer 2010/11 Lookbook from the

Mungo and Jemima website!

I absolutely love the soft fabrics, the pops of colour

and the general

Secret-(Tropical)-Garden-esque aesthetics

captured in the images.

Welcome to Summer Cape Town ;)

Love, Enjoy and Share!

Ohsococo - Vintage French Inspired Swimwear Shoot

 

So as you all may have noticed by now, vintage swimwear 

is trending huge this Summer. Details to look out for include:

Ditzy florals, high-waisted swim suits, full pieces, 

polka dots, frills and embellishments etc etc.

Basically anything romantic, dreamy or 

slightly over-the-top.

Apart from a few labels who have been giving their

South African customers this delightful new treat of a trend, there are 

no definite labels in which to grab these specifics.

Luckily, very soon, there is to be a killer local swimwear label

for all of you who are dying for more of this style.

Although the name is still to be announced, 

below are some of the test shoot images I took for her

in order to capture the essence of this one-of-a-kind

conceptual Marie Antoinette slash queen of the world brand.

Feed back is ALWAYS welcome, 

we'd love to see what your thoughts are :)

Below are just my favs from our shoot,

but feel free to go to my

FLICKR

to see the rest!
