Heidi or folky braids

ok going into public now…. When i googled Heidi braids this is what I got so it can’t look that bad? ; )

revise: later on that day… most people liked it. buut I did overhear some first years singing ‘HEEIIDI’.. : P I just ignored them : )

nice hair

Joanna from A cup of Jo has been doing the most GORGEOUS hair tutorials. : ) I think they are so lovely and fresh.. and I love these gif’s that only slightly but fluidly move. they’re so awesome!

Go here for step by step tutorials to each of these! I’m going to try the one at the top now!

This is a picture from todays post on my other blog – Alternatively. It’s a bit old and blurry but can you get a more awesome picture?

sailor dress

About a month ago I won this awesome sailor dress off angie’s blog. It is Margot Molyneux dress from Cape Town. Her stuff is so lovely, click on the link above to see her latest garments.

Winning stuff rules. Thank you Angie & Margot! I love it. x

Meet Minky

I know i’ve spoken about my little cat a few times before but I think it’s time for a proper introduction. Meet Minky

(not van der westhuizen!).

She is the funniest and sweetest cat you’ll ever meet. She loves a good nose and ear rub

She sometimes has dreams she can fly

she gets a super adorable grumpy face if you disturb her sleeping

She’ll pretty much sleep in any nook she can find

but a box is first prize.

I also sometimes find her nestled in my clothes. naughty

and she refuses to drink out of her water bowl and instead will fit her head into any glass to get a little drink!

She’s scared of vacuum cleaners and once sniffed a lit candle. She comes out and greets me sweetly every time I come home, and is about 10 x more cuddly in Winter.

Ps.I promise I’m not going to be a crazy-blog-about-my-cats lady : ) but I thought it was about time you met

seeking out illustrators

Morning friends. I have some very pretty paper products eye candy and a sincere request this morning. Dylan and I are looking for an illustrator to do some work for a special project we’re working on, and looking for quite a specific style. If any of you know anyone who can make pretty illustrations/typography like this PLEASE let me know : ) contacted Rifle Paper co in Florida who does these lovely pieces below but they’re a bit too busy too do anything for us at the moment (and i’m pretty sure they won’t be cheap). I love these so much. Each one is a little folky masterpiece.

Camden + giveaway

To carry on from friday.. Camden was another little place we found in Richmond hill (In Port Elizabeth). It was such a nice little shop filled with unique vintagey home decor and clothing. I didn’t actual take as many photos as I thought I did.. oh well! there a few and I took some pics today of the stuff we bought.

coffee roasters bags – have no idea what we’re going to do with them but Dyl loved them

How lovely are these little magnets.. I liked them so much I got some for you guys too! I know I don’t do enough giveaways and I really want to change that! : )

One reader will win these 3 little magnets above, just leave me a comment below : ) I’ll draw a name next week monday.

xx

ps. If you’re in PE, pop into Richmond Hill – there are so many lovely things to see and do. oh and here is the Camden site/supplier

thanks Levi’s, nom nom nom

It’s no diet day today apparently and to celebrate Levi’s sent me a big chocolate cupcake! Woah! They also said that if any of you JHB or PTA ladies get to the Levi’s store today you get a free slab of Lindt (when you go for a custom fitting of their Curve ID Jeans)

Minky getting in on the action

Thanks Levis.
