The Boyfriend Shirt

Finally a shirt that you and your partner can swap. This men’s winter shirt from Industria quickly turned from being his to being mine and now his again. I’ve become somewhat obsessed with it and for good reason. Not only is the red – eye-catching it adds life to the winter days that are slowly creeping in.

I had somewhat discussed trying something new with my look with a special someone and the winter – shirt automatically became my go–to for this daring but still casual look. Adopting the boyish trend and still feeling fashion forward really had a way of boosting my confidence. The results were astounding if I do say so myself. I loved it and everyone else around me commended me on the new look – with attempts to manipulate me to give the shirt away because one or two people couldn’t get enough of it. I managed to sneak away before anyone else could try to get their hands on it.

I paired the men’s winter shirt with edgy ripped black leggings and my favourite white ankle boots.

Head to Industria to get your hands on their men’s clothing collection. When you do go; my go –to fail safe colour recommendations are red (for obvious reasons), blue and black. They do however have other colours in stock as well.

Hello City of Kings: Travel Bulawayo

I recently traveled to Bulawayo and it was a breath of fresh air from my home- town Harare. I didn’t get to explore much due to limited time and too much catching up to do with my close friend Gugulethu (a download of months of highlights and low lights). I did however, get to walk around the city centre, visit a few flea markets and enjoy slap chips from some corner fish and chicken place –  I really loved the sauce. The highlight of exploring the city was the buildings and architecture. Some of these buildings have been around for years but still look stunning – like they were built yesterday... You can tell their well cared for.

I had to take pics and I hope this makes locals feel even prouder of where they from and prompt others to visit. I know I’m proud...

I was impressed by how clean the city was too....well down to the city council....

Lunch and Dinner

Easy living for me – always involves long naps and good food – Ocean basket might not provide the nap facilities but it’s a bustling atmosphere for warm smiles, good food and great conversation – the somewhat witty jokes on the table covers  and menu – were great fish Intel and those sea jokes really got me laughing...

I’ve mentioned before I really love calamari (squid) and calamari is what I had – 3 perfectly sized large portions of calamari steaks to be exact with a serving of good old chips – you can never go wrong with chips. Calamari if not made well can turn out horribly wrong – most people I know who abhor calamari –can’t get past the rubbery texture  - as for me that’s what I love the most about it and Ocean basket served it just right.

Calamari Steak

With the right amount of lemon drizzled over the calamari steak and a sprinkling of salt – I am automatically taken to calamari heaven...Helping myself from one bite to another...It’s hard to describe calamari in the best way – with its unique texture –being perhaps the only overpowering factor about it - calamari just is – you either love it or hate it...you just have to try it to get it..

My date for the night – was my dad – he was great fun and wiped out his whole pan (no I didn’t make any mistake they serve their food in little pans – how quaint?)– Kind of expected for dad’s right? He had Kingklip with chips. I just had a bite – and it fared really well... just about right. He obviously had no complaints and for someone who wiped his pan clean – it must have been really good or he must have been very hungry... lol 

Kingklip

Disappointed by the two options only available for dessert, we chose to skip it – but now I’m thinking I should have just tried it out. I mean silly me, who refuses dessert...another helping of food??? I guess there’s always next time...
