Urban Dictionary – “HIPSTER” – Hipsters are a subculture of men and women typically in their 20′s and 30′s that value independent thinking, counter-culture, progressive politics, an appreciation of art and indie-rock, creativity, intelligence, and witty banter.
Born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa – This is where I am based (for the time being).
Third Year Business Science Marketing Student at the University of Cape Town, I finally found my niche after suffering through Finance for two years. I am an Allan Gray Orbis Foundation Fellow, the owner of a Dazzle Jewelry & Cropped.
I am a self-proclaimed “baggie”, mother to over 100 handbags, the oldest being a gorgeous dark brown leather briefcase (which requires a code to open) that dates back to 1945.
I thrive for all things creative & interesting, whether it be a completely new and innovative idea or whether it be a twist on an old idea or concept.
This blog is simply a place where I can share my “youthful” point-of-view on absolutely BRILLIANT ideas that have been brought to the market (and maybe how I would have liked to have done them).


Well Done! And yes you do have far too many bags!!
Love your blog! My family is also from South Africa. Cape Town is gorgeous!
