Sneak peak into 'Peter's House'.




Opposite Cape Towns' latest 'Hipster Powerhouse', missdida.+ was privileged to enter beyond the 'bunny scribbled' curtain in Kloof Nek road, to preview Ziggy Francisco's cosiest, new delight! Nestled between a pharmacy and a beauty salon lies this cities new favourite burrow.



Long have I searched for a perfect combination of cosy and cool and 'Peter's House' promises to meet your every 'urbanite' desire.
Snug nooks for you to nibble on your carrot cake whilst perusing the interweb and blackboard walls begging to be drawn on with the chalk provided!


Peter's house will be opening to the public shortly, lending it's walls to local artists (Luis Tolosana is currently on show) and satisfying your caffeine urge,tummy rumble or thirst for something a bit stronger. 
A crazy, cosy, cute hub that will surely warm your soul, go check it out!

(Please note while waiting for those lazy officials to present 'Peter' with the right to sell you pretty peeps booze, the first 3 weeks of opening will require you to bring your own.)
Open hours: 11am-10pm (soon to be later!)

I see progress

Greetings from the bewildering hangout of missdida.+'s perception!


Join me Lisa van Heerden, (aka missdida.+), as I share my daily observations on street trends in Cape Town,South Africa. Documenting the many fascinating treasures to be discovered within it's clammy paws,
missdida.+ and her trusty sidekick *B* (the bicycle) offer a streets eye view of the 'real' stars of this city........


...and of-course, the dreaded 1st blog curse had cast a dark Winters shadow over any hope of finding anything or anybody  interesting enough to blog about until Lerato's amazing presence entered my gaze.





Today was yet another perfect Winters day and she got to sneak in this cheaky little "it's almost spring, but not" look just in time before the predicted rain clouds deliver their next shower!
What a great use of Autumn shades accentuated by the burst of neon extending from her pocket.
Not only does this stylish lady know how to throw together a great look she also flies airplanes?!
 *HIGH 5!* Lerato, your'e legit!

After a pleasantly delightful day missdida.+ treated *B* to a cruise around our hood.


Looking forward to sharing my next "streetfinds" with the world.

If there are dreams about a beautiful South Africa, there are also roads that lead to their goal. Two of these roads could be named Goodness and Forgiveness.
