After more than ten fulfilling, magical years beginning in the good old days of 2012, Hello Pretty is retiring and heading off to the beach with a drink with a tiny umbrella.
Read our goodbye letter
Well hey there good looking!
Yesterday we put out the call for voting selfies, and were thrilled by the response. I was flooded by warm and fuzzy feelings as the notifications rolled in.
Just look at how awesome you all are!
I would high five you all if I could. You are too lovely.
Well done Pretties!
Pretties! We want to see you voting!
Show us your good looking faces in the voting queue, your thumbs, your queue snacks (just not from inside the booths or your ballot. You know, legal stuff.) - get involved, and tag us in your voting selfies, with #HPVotes.
We'll be rounding them up on the blog, so join in!
There are few things as fun and indulgent as a girls night in. Whip out those mani/pedi sets, bubbles and a Sex and the City box set, as well as some lush goodies from Hello Pretty - it has the makings of a fabulous evening!
Send us pics of your Hello Pretty sleepover! Use the hashtag #HPsleepover - we would love to see what you got up to on your ladies night in!
I spotted this fun piece by Maisha of thatitgirl.com which gave me a few chuckles - navigate the intimidating foreign looking fashion labels with confidence! Useful no?
Original piece found here.

To kick off Easter celebrations, I'm immersing myself in all things Hot Cross Bun. Diets are banned from the blog today!
I won't waste your time by asking you to read lots of things when there are treats to be had, so please sit back and relax, drool a little, and enjoy these great interpretations of this traditional indulgence. And then go eat them all.
First up: this little beauty is a to *die* for piece of fancy biscuit heaven, from Daniela's Deliciously Decadent.
I was fortunate enough to stuff my face with hot cross bun flavoured ice cream from The Creamery recently. Aah-mazing.
Hot cross bun nougat from Ma Mere Maison. And yes. That is speckled egg nougat lying next to it.
Jason's Bakery is kicking butt and taking names in the hot cross bun department. The peeps over at www.pardonourfrench.co.za have done the research, and they give them a big thumbs up.
*Clears throat*
To quote:
"Jason’s is doing two delicious hot cross bun breakfasts. Number one is the Hot Cross Bomb: A hot cross bun with Emmenthal, bacon, and a poached egg. Number two is hot cross bun French toast with apple compote and bacon. I have done the selfless deed of testing both of these and they get two thumbs up for sure.
For the ultimate hot cross buns:
Head to Frankie Fenner for some bacon hot cross buns baked by Jason himself. You can’t go wrong."
*Passes out in a hot cross bun coma*
