I know this is an extremely late post as it's no longer even August, but I wanted to share with you some recent photos because I've been so busy lately! 

In the last few weeks I have been picking out new pieces to stock in the online store (vintage & brand new), shooting new stock, preparing for a whole new Spring look book-playing the roles of stylist, model, hair & make-up simultaneously,  modeling for other designers & fashion students, working in an office full-time & indulging in delicious food in-between! 

But most of all I can't wait to show you the photos & amazing outfits to come in the new Skinny Chili Spring look book to be released real soon! Here's a sneak peek so you can be just as excited as I am!

 I know I usually do my monthly Instagram post right at the end of that same month, but since travelling to Mauritius we've had no free time! Which is good, as we've had plenty chances everyday to be exploring the island. 

Since the first day of arrival, every morning without a doubt, I am woken by either barking dogs (I've never seen so many strays) crowing roosters (they also roam the streets freely) or neighbours playing their reggae music extremely loud. At the moment it is Winter here, but there hasn't been a day where I haven't been wearing the good ol' shorts & t-shirt combo. Traffic is crazy here-I don't know where so many cars come from! The streets are very narrow but everything you need is close. 

I'm loving the beaches, visiting family, the sights, the smells-the streets smell of food & there's nothing that I haven't eaten that I haven't liked!

I can't wait to show you my future posts of all the places we've visited so far & there will be plenty more to come as I'm quite the typical tourist taking a hundred photos every where I go.

 Flowers I bought for my mum//French toast with nutella//Coffee love//Macaroons & coffee//Fruit salad//More flowers//More fruit salad-trying to be healthy ok?//Chocolate souffle-it obviously didn't work//Zumbarons & Italian thick hot chocolate.

I'm sorry this is all food & nothing fashion related but I'm actually obsessed with taking photos of food-it just looks so pretty! I always have been obsessed but this month I've been to some pretty amazing places (in my opinion) & I couldn't help myself. As today is my birthday I took the liberty of treating myself to an afternoon tea at Adriano Zumbo's patisserie & enjoyed every minute of it. My mums theory about me loving afternoon tea so much is because I was born in the afternoon. Either way, I leave you with one of my favourite quotes:
