hello.. sorry i have been neglecting my blog a bit, it is because of deadlines and because of weddingness!!

my brother got married on saturday .. ahh and it was just lovely soooo much love… daniel and lucy are such an awesome couple, congrats guys!

here’s a photo pierre (my brother in law) took during all the pre wedding prep and photos – i love it. well done p.

i made this the other night just for fun while listening to mr jason mraz. heard his song lucky? well its pretty rad (quite old now i know but i still like it) : ) i think its quite nice and i plan to make some more and maybe even “embroider” my tommy ties.. haha. watch this space.

i have a horrible history of art test tomorrow so i’m going to wear it.

do. do. doo doo di doo…. Zooey Deschanel is Awesome! i just discovered her little indie band “She and him” and they’re amazing! i tried to upload a track but its a bit too big… so you need to go look them up! kay!

She’s riducously stunning, has awesomely quirky style , she can sing and play the tamborine!… hard not be a little green with envy.. x

                                                                                   pretty dress. i want it.

So on friday me and dyl were roaming the shops and ended up in look and listen and i thought i’d roam towards the south african section to check if dear readers new cd was out and lo and behold there were 8 copies beautifully lined up! i grabbed me one immediately!!! I was so happy i was dancing all the way to the car where we played it straight away.. mmmm..  Mag-ic-al… ahh* i love them a lot. Its so worth the buy! 

Besides all the songs being so pretty the illustrations on the album are freaking radical.. and they come with do it yourself pop up characters, so being the crafty person i am i cut them out and popped them up straight away.. check out the awesomes..

the little boy in the polar bear is my favorite.

<3

ps. almost totally forgot to mention theyre playing at the rustic theatre in lonehill on 2 April ..  YAY! <3

hello hello….. YES!  so i finally got my first roll of film from my diana developed yesterday and this is one pic i took across the road from Lulu (if u look closely you can see dyl is sitting on the balcony thing drinking -or not drinking- his grossie red cappucino – turns out theyre not that great! 

anyway Lulu is me and dyls favoritist coffee shop ever.. we go there quite often because its just AWESOME! They have free internet (if u buy something), they have INCREDIBLY delicious coffee and lunch time snacks and the interior, branding and general feel just makes you happy! ….. go there and ull see what i mean.. its a fusion of modern minimalistic meets ur grannies lounge with comfy couches, rad mirrors and other random stuff all over the walls:) they even have little red dog bowls full of water for the passers by… *cute*

ahhh and one more thing! we only discovered it fairly recently…. when u buy something you can play CHING CHONG CHA with the waiter and if you win you get 5 % off your purchase!! woop woop! whoever thought up that one is a freaking genius brain child.. 

sooo go there! its at Parktown Quarter corner 3rd and 7th Avenues… <3 <3 <3

this is a little cute soft puppy dog we met outside lulus tied to the tree.. this is another lomo i took.. more to come*

Just when you think Apple couldnt get ANY cooler they have guerilla advertising campaigns like this

A swing at a bus stop advertising the Apple mac air…. this makes me SOO happy! and just imagine.. waiting for the bus is usually soo awful and boring and now people can start and end their day happy after a nice swing.. mmm.. these are ideas that’ll change the world..

<3

Yummy! It was my sister-in-law-to-be’s (phew!) kitchen tea on Saturday and i made these delish’s..

I couldnt resist these awesome marzipan bows. Sho – there’s a whole shop just for cupcake things on republic (by brightwatercommons).. infact everywhere i go there are just CUPCAKES. cupcake EVERYWHERE…. its like the revolution in cake! what did we ever do without them…. and its scary too cuz people have decided you can call anything a cupcake and put anything on it..

shocking

i found this pic today randomly. its not mine but i really like it. its so deathcabby.

Have you ever bitten into something you thought was choc chip and it turned out to be raisins??? what if i told you the opposite thing happened to me.. hahaha…

so even though easter only happens once a year our family tends to buy hot cross buns all year round, 1) because woolworths sells them all year round and 2) because they’re just amazing! toasted with lots of butter… mmmmm… anyway. so my mom bought a bunch of them the other day and froze them.. so one lonely night i dipped into the stash and defrosted one.. and what came out of the microwave was chocolatey goodness.. (see above) it looks like your average hotcross bun but instead of raisins they’re chocchip!

yummo! (find them at Spar. 6 for a cool R12.99)

I love the Velskoen drive in! so much.. i’ve had so many cool memories there from when i was little til the other day.. ah! its such a novelty that i dont think i will get over : ) thats why i picked it when we had to choose a small weird kind of business to do an ad campaign for. 

uh i’m not gonna give you my whole rationale but basically my objective was to fight competition and create more awareness of the drive in and its unique selling points ie. at the drive in there are no rules.. you can wear whatever you want, eat whatever you want – do whatever you want and no ones watching you, you’re in the privacy of your own car!  So i have 3 ads in which i have different stereotypes at the drive in letting their guards down and revealing their true selves, essentially breaking the stereotype.. enjoy!

THANK YOU: Natalie, Michelle, Jarred, Steve, Matt and Dylan

you guys are AWESOME!
