Organic Chic And Vintage Vixens

Everyone knows that Cape Town moves at its own pace, so it is little surprise that the organic craze that has swept the chic cities and centres of the world over the last decade was a little slow in arriving here. But I am happy to announce that organic chic is now moving with the force of the south-easter over this trendy little city of ours. Its cool to eat organic - cool, not to mention healthy, and good for the business of local farmers. It also means happy healthy little chickens,cows and lambs, frolicking unfettered in green pastures... flourishing little vegetables and fruit that arent choked under the shower of pesticides most plantlife is subjected to today. I think its time to celebrate the growing emacipation of those in the food chain that make our lives possible. So take yourself off to the organic market at the old biscuit mill on saturday mornings in woodstock, (lower main road, by the circle) and buy some great fresh organic produce, coffee and even organic wine. Hell, get drunk on the organic wine at 10 am, without all that sulphur and chemicals you can rest assured your headache will not arrive that afternoon. There are also some very cool art, fashion and accessory stalls. And the best collection of vintage i have seen in Cape Town so far. I am in fact loathe to spread the news, this stuff is so good it should be kept secret. We are talking dresses and pinnafores from the sixties and seventies, and even some stuff from the fifties, big retro sunnies and amazing aged leather hand bags.

Speaking of vintage, Polly decided to discard the fig leaf and restore her dignity in a cute little lace-bodiced tulip-skirted vintage number i picked up for her on long street last weekend, at a store called 'Dress me', which can be found in the Baobab mall, opposite Long Street cafe.

I just love this dress! Here are a few other vintage items I have picked up in the stores around cape town, london and from rooting around in my mum's storage cupboards...!

And just for fun, here are some pictures of none other than Polly's favourite plastic icon, BARBIE herself, doing the vintage thing, from the 40s through to the 70s...
