“Dreams are lovely. But they are just dreams. Fleeting, ephemeral, pretty. But dreams do not come true just because you dream them. It's hard work that makes things happen. It's hard work that creates change.” - Shonda Rhimes . I came across this quote a while ago and in considering how to caption these images it just summed up what I had a front row seat to last night. I had the privilege of not only being invited to the launch of @hseofbespokeemporium by @waseefahutton and @farzeenb but being dressed head to toe in a @hseofbespokebywh ensemble handpicked for me by the designer herself. . Over the past nine months @waseefahutton has CHANGED, evolving her brand to realise a dream through nothing less than good old fashioned, don’t take no for an answer HARD WORK. Not luck, not chance. Guts in all it’s glory. . I left last night’s launch sincerely inspired. Not in a sweet, mushy, ethereal way but in a “challenge accepted” kind of way. The way that ensures you leave a room in a far better frame of mind than you entered it in. . Oh, and I get to keep these incredible pieces, which is why I can’t help but grin like a fool. The collar and cuffs on this shirt are NEXT LEVEL 🙌👌🏻💫 . Side note: These earrings are by @curativjewels and I got ‘em at @bibirouge (another example of a fiercely feminine fashion-forward brand with a hardworking dreamer at the helm) What can I say, I have a thing for supporting strong, talented, purpose-driven women 🤷‍♀️ . . . #hseofbespoke #hseofbespokeemporium #wowensupportingwomen #southafricanfashion #supportlocal #womeninspiringwomen #women4women #whiteshirt #pencilskirt

It takes a village to raise a child, it also takes a village to arrange a good enough reason for over 30 mamas to get away from their children for three days. . This past weekend I had the privilege of being part of an @ash_fitmom Women’s Wellness Retreat at @elgin_river_lodge and I’d like to sincerely thank the extraordinary village that got the balance of gym and gin just right, burnt our glutes on the @buttonquailtrails (and burnt ‘em again at bootcamp) while giving our wannabe six packs laughter-fueled workouts around the lodge’s fireplace and makin’ “mama may have had a little too much wine at the wine tasting” rehydration all sorts of fitspo fancy with @adidasza water bottles that were just one of the MANY spoils laid out for each of us on our “sleep for eight uninterrupted hours here” beds. . “I’m officially completely Capetonian,” @fatkinson said as she opened her @faithfultonature toothbrush and, prompted by my clearly clueless expression, went on to explain precisely why such a thing was genius to her “very Jo’burg” sister. . Anyway, point is... from the organisers to the hosts to the sponsors to the remarkable women I got to hang out with, this past weekend was nothing short of tonic for the soul and, added bonus, a deliciously satisfying stiffness in all the FitMom muscle groups that matter. . . . #ittakesavillage #fitmom #womeninspiringwomen #womensupportingwomen #empoweredwomenempowerwomen #progressnotperfection #collaborationovercompetition #strongnotskinny #postpartumfitness #elginriverlodge #buttonquailtrails #adidas #faithfultonature #fitspo #wellnessretreat #southafrica #elginvalley

“Start now. Start where you are. Start with fear. Start with pain. Start with doubt. Start with hands shaking. Start with voice trembling but start. Start and don’t stop. Start where you are. With what you have. Just... start.” . Wish I could remember where I got that quote from. But it doesn’t matter. The point is, as women, we often don’t start. We don’t want to until we’re 110% certain we’re “ready” emotionally, financially, physically, professionally, academically... whatever’ally. . @msmabena put it perfectly today; “Men naturally operate from a place of confidence, women typically from a place of competence.” . I remember reading in the @sherylsandberg bestseller, Lean In, that men apply for a job when they meet only 60% of the qualifications, but women apply only if they meet 100% of them. The finding comes from a Hewlett Packard internal report. As one Forbes article put it, “Men are confident about their ability at 60%, but women don’t feel confident until they’ve checked off each item on the list.” . As women we need to have more faith in ourselves. And we need to start before we think we’re ready because the truth is we’re probably more ready than we realise. Hey, I reckon we were born ready. Which is why I’m so obsessed with this @endgirlhate Woman Up tee. It reminds me to tell my inner critic to sit down and my inner cheerleader to stand up. . Because it’s only when we stop saying “failure isn’t an option” and start saying “failure is just one of the options, so is success” that we replace our obsession with perfection for a commitment to bravery. . And, yes, that last line’s totally paraphrased from another book I’m reading, “Brave not perfect” by @girlswhocode founder and CEO @reshmasaujani . @phinds_ndzeks just look what you started! . . . #leanin #bravenotperfect #wifemomboss #careerlovingparent #womanup #endgirlhate #empoweredwomenempowerwomen #redlips #whitetee #lashesfordays thanks to @refreshbrowsandlashes

5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... that’s the one! . Finally 😅 . Behind every successful Saturday morning “girls date” selfie, there’s about 20 (in this case, 17) that found their way to the trash icon faster than I find my way to a limited edition Bibi Rouge skirt. . Just wondering if anyone’s actually ever taken just one selfie and posted that one? . I figure it’s equivalent to Mr Winderley’s laundry finding its way INTO the laundry basket. It’s possible, but rare. . . . #motherdaughterselfie #saycheese #oopsanotherpicofmykid #littlelenses #girlmom #chinupprincess #iknow #five is #overkill but #whatcanisay #options #occupationalhazard
