South Africa and going Green!

SO in 2 weeks or so , I'm heading off to South Africa for a wedding and i hope what is to be a good break away to clear my head and get things in check etc...
I spent a while searching for my 1st real proper wedding dress get up
and i was out with my mum and from the corner of my eye,
I was trolling through dress shops in paragon,
i was in Metro and I saw a big picture with this gorgeous dress with flowers etc...
and I'm not one to wear floral...BUT
i saw the last remaining piece from a designer called Marissa!
Previously I had picked up a stunning dress from BCBG maxamara,
for a hefty price, but im so glad I didnt get that one.

It took me ALL of 5 seconds to buy this dress!
What a find. I thought briefly once 2 weeks ago, what a waste of time looking so hard and passionately for it, but well, that was then.

Moving on, I got it altered and can't wait to go get it.
Long dresses have never been my thing, especially for my body shape, but,
I got a great response and compliments even from the woman who is tailoring my dress who thought it was from that uber pricey store in Paragon called 'Pois'.

Anywho, I'm looking forward to hopefully a Safari, Bunjee jumping off the highest bungee bridge at 216m, Shark diving and all things unimaginable in SA.
It's not often one travels to South Africa.

Without doubt, I'll be back witha crazy new skin tone
and a tonne of pictures and stories to share.
What a way to start 2009!
