Some of you may remember (from my obsessive tweeting) that in December last year, I was lucky enough to get flown to Cape Town to feature in a real people fashion shoot for O Magazine.
I’m no shmodel, but it was great fun to experience life as a model – even if it was just for a day.
The O Magazine fashion gals, Fashion Ed Robyn Cooke (styleguidecapetown.blogspot.com) and her assistant Luisa are such experts! I mean, look at the outfits on this rack, without even meeting me, they found my style and knew what would look good on me. I was in love with the Hip Hop jacket and cargo pants, I wanted to take them home. Even the shoes, gimmie!
I also got to finally meet fellow blog stars and fashionistas Allison Scotsman (AKA Lady Luxe, aka @TweetsinHeels from skinnybitchesinthemaking.blogspot.com) and Milisuthando Bongela (AKA @missmillib from missmillib.blogspot.com) who are both such amazing girls with awesome blogs.
Our feature, Blog Stars is in the current issue of O Magazine (March 2011) which should be out on shelf right now. I can’t wait to see it for myself (yay me), but thought you might enjoy a little behind the scenes action shots so long…

Finding the perfect shot. All in a days work.
Me with Robyn and Allison. Wowzers was I tired and I look it! I woke up at 3.30am to wash my hair and jet set to the mother city. Honestly, I take my hat off to full time models, dont know how you girls do it, but you rock!
