This post was written by Michelle, who was featured on the last post on The Vogue Diet. Check it out ! After reading this, I MUST HAVE an item with a leather accent. Must.

A little leather. A lot of compliments.

I was adamant that I needed my own must-have leather accent item.

On my way into work one day, I spotted the perfect shirt at Woolworths. It was black, with leather sleeves and a chunky silver zip down the back.

I took it home, tried it on and felt like an idiot.

Later that week I returned it.

Darling, I'm posh!

I sink into a plush leather couch. The view to my left is Cape Town harbour lined with white yachts adorned with the names of women lucky enough to have yachts named after them.

"If we're in the mood for a swim, we could just open this sliding door and dive in," I say to my mother, whose birthday we're celebrating with high tea at the Cape Grace Hotel.

It's the perfect end to a day that started off pretty much the way every day should start off -- with a massage. Then there was a facial. And then a manicure.

"This is the life," I tell my mom. "Don't you sometimes wish you married a millionaire so that this could be an everyday day? Darling, we'd be so posh!"

Blue Monday

I decided on Monday that I'd wear all the blue items in my wardrobe (Ok, I have more blue stuff but this is still pretty blue, right?).

I also decided that I'd wear heels to work. They were very practical, nude colour heels but heels nonetheless. I do this from time to time and the only reason I do it is because in between these times, I forget that I haven't worn heels to work in so long because it's torture!
