Rudi – MENTAL!!!!!

Its been a crazy few days and I have just enough time to unpack, get my washing done and then pack again! This is by no means a complaint, but just taking a breath, me taking a step back reflecting, absorbing and loving!
The last 10 days have been a whirlwind, Joburg to London, London to Glasgow, Glasgow to Edinburgh, Edinburg to London, London to Atlanta, then back to London and finally home… before I go back to London, Edinburgh and Glasgow. That’s around 40 000 kms spent in the Air…

What did my whirlwind consist of?
A press trip with KFM to Scotland
Hosting a suite for my guys in Scotland to watch Lady Gaga
Having a party on a plane with Rudimental and Gorgan City
Breakfast with Richard Branson
A rooftop party in Atlanta with Janez and Lunga from the Mancave
Taking Greg from Greg and Lucky on a whirlwind tour of London
And eventually collapsing in my hotel bed with no time to shop

Let me take you back to the 3rd point, yes a party on a plane with Rudimental and Gorgon City.

Here at Virgin Atlantic we launched our new 787 Dream-liner and what better way to launch it then have a party all the way to our new destination HOT-lanta (Atlanta).

We boarded the plane, welcomed by Rudimental, a personalized coke and shown to our seats, take off and landing were the only times that we had bums in the seats, it was a real party plane, Vodka was flowing, bands were playing and music was pumping as we flew across the ocean!

Inaugural flight of the brand new Virgin Atlantic 787 from London Gatwick to Atlanta, Georgia, USA.

Finally my name on a coke!
Finally my name on a coke!

Word on the street (plane) is that there were new members to join the mile high club, which mad Richard very proud!!

The party continued until we took off again from Atlanta to London… then and only then did people sleep!!
Its been crazy, but I wouldn’t change it, I now have enough time to pack again, before I head on out with our Idols and MTV to London and then back to Glasgow to attended the 2014 EMA’s… yes that is correct… the flipping MTV European Music awards…
Some more of the UK just to remind me of how uncool we actually are in SA!!

Superdry SS 2014 Summer Loving

What’s better than a fashion preview during lunch? Nothing really, pimms, biltong, cookies and Superdry’s SS 2014 range… sums up the prefect lunch break…

Superdry SS14 Press Day Invitation

Clothes have a very strong pull for me so no matter how busy I was I wasn’t going to miss this, I wanted to get a head start and see what I’m going to be wearing this summer.

To my delight, I saw what I will be wearing on the beach, in the gym, casual day to day and festivals, yes festivals.

Loving the festival range because next year I will be attending a few myself, you now just a few small ones, coachella, Glastonbury, T in the Park and V-fest (perks of the job)
The festival range was my favourite with the bright shorts, signature logo tee’s, short sleeve button ups and the coolest parker jackets with killer detail.

Dancing for days in these festival shorts...

Superdry just get it right when it comes to denim and leather jackets, leather as soft as butter, denims in the sickest washes and everything in between

Clothes, Food and coffee…. I mean what more do you need in life? Nothing Really!!

I have found a little piece of heaven, a stones throw away from my office, which makes it ideal, so ideal in fact that I visited my little bit of heaven 3 times last week and will be going again today for a quick bite!Based in Melrose Arch… its a gem!

My little piece of heaven is Naked, not as in a nude person… but as in a coffee/ jean bar.

This place is amazing, walking in you get a smell of the aromatic coffee that fills the air, a treat for your nose. Then you lay your eyes on clothes… amazing jeans, shirts, shoes, you name it!! The brands are amazing! Obviously with Scotch and Soda being my best!

What they get right is the amount of collections for the show, there is nothing worse than getting dressed up for an event to see 10 people walk down a ramp, to 1 song and the guess what, the show is over leaving you longing for more!

The brands that showed at the event were endless, Polo, Superdry, Mr Price, Scotch and Soda…. I can go on, but that wont be necessary, because there was one collection that caught my eye and made me pretty much forget about everything else walking down.

That would be Scotch and Soda… all I can say is PERFECTION!
I have a slight obsession with this brand, its all just insane!! Ready to wear insanity! It’s the perfect combination of stylish and easy to wear, chic and classy, comfort and fashion!
