ALL ZURI

Backtrack to December hols 2014 and the freshly matriculated Refiloe rotting in front of the TV and daydreaming about her future varsity girl self. Three things were certain at that point in time. I was hella bored, I was anxiously waiting to start my pathway towards becoming the thing I always planned on being (a Civil Engineer) annnd I just started watching a new reality series on E! (Fashion Bloggers)- Cue eyes opening wide, mind ticking and brand new facet of 'future varsity girl self' being born.

A short chronicle on the production of this photo series |

Tiny office furnished with a plain wooden table, two chairs and the bodies of 4 figures in passionate discussion (read argument) about the significance of using a portrait as the cover for a student magazine. The air is a mixture of frustration and exhaustion and thoughts of murder occasionally flit through the mind of the protagonist- Refiloe Mokgele. Yes me.

Hello friends I'm still alive. If you count buried under books, extremely bored and having meal times serve as the highlight of my days, then yep that's me. Alive. Things are tense and weird and confusing and a lot of other adjectives thus leaving fashion a little lower on the list of current important words in my life.

As much as I enjoy opening my cupboard doors, grappling with whether I'm a pants or skirt kinda girl that day or whether or not I will let the last episode of Gossip Girl I just watched influence my OOTD, the thing I most enjoy second to that is watching my peers.

Dreamy, awkward suburban babes. Dreamy awkward suburban babes whose camera chemistry could make anyone believe that they've been part of a cul de sac gang since childhood. Megan, Damon, Hloni, Nandi and Hannah were thrown together by the group of FashSoc committee members who recognized and admired something special about them and their personal style.
