Amazing local blog

I was reading a copy of Marie Clare magazine in the dentists waiting room this afternoon and stumbled upon an article, on a most intriguing local blog Aficionado. Which in keeping with its title, meaning ‘somebody who is enthusiastic and knowledgeable about something’, is a wonderful platform for all the things I love. So if you, like me, are passionate about good food, clothing, wine and mostly anything that satisfies your sense of luxury, then this is the blog for you.

The content is most informative and interesting to read. Personally I love Jamie Who?  a blog written by food writer Andy, which as you guessed is all about food, wine and all things gastronomical.

IFOR1, the independent fashion blog, is written by Justine Stafford, a freelance journalist, who uses her editorial experience to wax lyrical about all things beautiful. She is the founder of the Aficionado Network and one of its bloggers.

So, for all those lovers of fine things, have a look at this amazing blog.

Young Art

I am so privileged to have grown up in a home where creativity was very much a part of my life from a very young age. My father was a brilliant artist but due to a lack of funds, growing up, he studied to be a draughtsman, instead of pursuing a career in art. This however never dulled the passion he felt for art.


As a child, I was encouraged to study art at school. My favourite medium was pencil and I love mixed media. Drawing was my passion and painting was never my strong suit, but I enjoyed it anyway. Art history, to me, was a wonderful thing. I loved reading all about the ‘Impressionists’ and studying paintings by artists like Degas and Monet.

In turn, I have been blessed with two little artists living under my own roof. Lately, in an attempt to cut down the amount of ‘screen time’, they have i.e. watching TV, Computers, gaming devices etc. I have implemented arts and crafts as an alternative activity and promised my girls I would devote a blog post to their work. They are both enthusiastic about this prospect and have embraced the challenge.

I did start out trying to steer their subject matter in a certain direction, but have learnt that this is futile, as they are fiercely independent. What I have been able to do it give some instruction on technique, that is, what I can remember from high School.


We are well on our way to a beautiful collection of pieces, which makes me feel very proud to share them with you.

Simply Style Decor Inspiration

I am always inspired by design, especially in decor and I love to implement ideas I see into my own home. I would probably say my style is somewhat eclectic, a mixture of modern and classic pieces. [Read more…]
