This is a sorry for a real break in posts. I went back to uni this week and things have been crazy but really sooo good to be back! I feel alive and creative again!

Last week was Audi fashion week in Joburg and i got a cool opportunity to work with the very pregnant (hee ) designers of Wild Fig (they stock clothes at The Space..) just helping out a bit backstage and got to see a few shows afterwards.. I must admit its a lot more fun watching than being backstage with all the stressful dressers and models. flip.

These are some pics from the Abigail Keats show. I loved their hats, lacy gloves, red lipstick and pearls… wow!

I’ve been caught in the rain too many times recently so last weekend I invested in this pretty brollie.. and flip i love the polka dots and the red ruffled lining. It has a personality of its own. Thank you for serving me well.

Its been raining almost everyday this week in Joburg. Its quite nice but i want some hot summer still please.

(Listening to: Department of Eagles – reminds me of arcade fire a bit, give them a listen, lemme know what you think)

• ‘In spite of the weather
• we can have a good time.
• We can go out for dinner.
• you can make up your mind’

UM.could-this-be-any-cooler?

25 pencils delivered to you every month for 20 months = 500 brilliantly coloured pencils with cute imaginative names like ‘hint of sun’, ‘upsy daisy’ ‘pale pumpkin’ ‘tea with milk’ ‘tippy toe’ ‘picnic’ ‘drizzly afternoon’ ‘handsome harry’ ‘grandma’s ring’ ‘clown cheeks’ ‘pretty polly’.. to name a few favorites.. hehe. they all seem to have a story behind them and the ‘folk behind the idea reckon a new box of inspiration every 30 days or so is good for the creative soul within’

very cool indeed.

they’re a tad bit pricy for pencils. but i like the concept a lot

Dylan just ordered a nice white Lavazza coffee machine so when i found these pretty blue polka dot teacups/espresso cups at Succulent Cafe i couldn’t resist getting them. yip. they’re ours! x

ps. the birdies above were part of a photo corner me and dylan did for a wedding we went to on the weekend. but the weather did not permit.. I made a lot of cute cut outs.. these were the 2 i salvaged.

me and nicole from ‘a photo a day’ had a tea party on a friday at the loverly Succulent!

and she took some pretty photos. here’s a little taste but go have a look at her blog for the rest! She has such a good eye for beautiful photos! wow.

We had a little family gathering last week for my sister in laws birthday and one of her great aunties brought this little thing with. Her name is Carol-Ann. and i wish she was mine.

she’s a little yorkie and after exploring the house she was falling asleep all over the place. ahh.

our last nice day of 2009. perfect.

Happy New Year! Here’s to some more sun dappled summer days!
