It’s been a while since I’ve done a “Weekend in Pics” kinda post, but this weekend has just been Awesome with a capital “A“!
On Saturday we enjoyed the Durban July in absolute rockstar-style thanks to Mainstay, and on Sunday we went for flips in my friend Bryan’s two-seater plane! We were scheduled to go on a sunset cruise with Mainstay on the Friday night, but the Durban weather just wasn’t playing nice!
How awesome would that trio have been? Ahh well, it was still rockstar approved!
The Durban July was fab, and not just because of all the amazing fashion, but it was an absolute privilege to enjoy it VIP style in the Mainstay tent. We had grandstand access with a direct view of the 300m mark of the track. It was impossible not to get hyped up with the horse racing.
I picked a very “July” outfit… a simple black Jenni Button corset – which I jazzed up with a tiered skirt. I wore boots as it rained non-stop the day before – even though we had perfect weather on Saturday! Vanessa, who came along in place of one of the winners, wore this amazing black and gold dress from TopShop! I think that the only thing missing in our outfits were big, bold and crazy hats! Next time!
I am very much not much of a gambler, so I bet on a few horses, purely because I liked their names! One of my horses, “November Rain” won, while two other faves placed second. I bet the most on “Jimmi Choo”, but since I placed for a win, sadly I won’t be able to buy Jimmy Choo’s with the winnings! That was the plan – haha!
Mainstay went all out in their tent and of course the drinks were flowing! Cadbury girls walked around keeping our sugar levels high and happy, while the Inglot girls were set up in the Mainstay tent, giving the ladies touchups all day! How amazing!
To finish off our Rockstar Weekend, my friend Bryan took us out for flips in his two-seater plane on Sunday. What an awesome, awesome, awesome experience!
I’ve never been in such a small plane before, but loved it and got to see the Durban coastline which is absolutely breathtaking!
Thanks again to everyone who made my weekend! Mainstay, you guys rock!
How was your weekend? Did any of you go to the July?
