oh my days.. when i found this i almost wet myself. i love retro things like a lot alot!!
and this here is something i would probably only dream about…. a usb CASSETTE! *scream..
so its like a normal 1gb usb but its in the shape of a cassette. the usb thing slides in and out (oooh)
and u can even design the cover/stickers yourself and the sleeve that comes with it…

go here to see what im talking about —-> http://www.makeamixa.com/ (what fun!)
i really really want one… *sigh*

this is something very special dylan did for me when he was far away in austrailia on a pretty austrailian beach.. i recently re discovered it : ) and thought id post it cause believe it or not it takes great skills to write with light or draw hearts with light!! and dyls got skills… i tried and its hard. ps. my favorite part of this photo is that he left his slip slops neatly next to each other in the middle. heehee. i like the other parts of the photo too ofcourse…

ps. if u want to see all my stuff again (like ‘home’) just click on emmajanenation at the top and everything will be there! woop*

ahh. so last year i was re-doing my room and i wanted a picture for my wall but it had to be perfect and i couldnt really find anything i really liked until i found these beyond awesome birds in flight vinyls at ‘the space’ which as u can see is one of my favorite shops. they filled up my wall so nicely and i love them (im going through a real bird phase – they make me feel like i can do anything! kind of.)
There’s way more vinyl where this came from – check out www.ginandchocolate.com – they have awesome vinyl wallpapers and super rad random ones like paper planes and deer

oh yes. we found one. so me and dyl did lots of lovely things on valentines day, as you do, but we ended off the afternoon by trying 2 find a little spot at emmarentia rose gardens which was totally overpopulated by picnicing couples and at least 12 wedding-photo-parties! (seriously).. we eventually found a little nook for ourselves and found the iceream man
where dyl took this awesome photo on black and white film! its rawks and he takes the best photos ever. fact. <3

ahh. so this is a pic my friend jarred took of me and my twin friends jst before a wedding…

we were there early and decided to frolick around in the green fields

i think it is a lovely photo so i decided to add a bit of magic + sum coldplay …mmm.

This post is better enjoyed listening 2 sum coldplay (particularly old coldplay – try swallowed in the sea off ‘x and y’)

mm.. i made these yummo cupcakes for dylan for vday – had so much fun baking them and icing them – i think i need a bit of training with the icing part tho my rainbow and shooting stars’s colours started blending later into the day.. but they didnt lose their vanilla deliciousness…. mmm. (i secretly want to work for i love cupcake – check it out! www.ilovecupcake.co.za)

these are the pseudo-polaroid wedding invitations me and dyl made for my brother and lucys wedding. i heart them. They turned out so lovely and were so much fun to make. If you ever need wedding invitations designed. you. know. who. to. call. ; )

Did you watch they grammys last night? if not you missed a beyond awesome performance by coldplay! (and their most awesome sgt pepper outfits) wow:) is it just me or do they keep on getting better and better??
i feel like ive grown up with coldplay.. ‘yellow’ was the first song my brother learnt to play on the guitar and thats about the only song we heard and sang to a whole dec holiday! :O
Their songs are timeless. They take you anywhere and nowhere, they fix you on a bad day, take you home after a long day and get you up in the morning.
This is a band i would pay lots of money to see live <3

Oh my word. these shoes are cool. I was dreaming about painting little birds on my shoes but then i found these REAL printed custom made ones. You can put your own design on your shoes at www.keds.com/text/kedsstudio/…. pretty rad hey.

Oscar Wilde once said, “One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art”

the day i discovered my first pair of tommy takkies/champion tie ups with coloured shoe lace holes was the greatest day ever! seriously. :0 theyre my favorite pair of shoes. since theyve started dying a bit i had 2 find some new ones. i found some new plain white ones and decided to dress them up a bit. YAY

so here are my baby yellow ‘tennis’ champions – the final product. i wore them to the tennis today. theyre kind of retro. i like themmm

ps. kudos 2 milly who inspired me 2 die them . milly rockets
