Looking for a new iphone case? I spotted these Rifle Paper co one's yesterday. I have the botanical notebook set of the one's below and wouldn't mind some matchy matchy action.
So I got into Alt-J only a few weeks ago when I saw they were on the line up of a festival Dyl and I are going to in July in London... and just a few weeks later they announce they're coming here and everyone is like Alt-what?? So I thought if you needed a little introduction Tessellate is a good place to start. Also here's a bit of background about their name (via soundcloud).
"alt-J (∆)’s name takes a little explaining. Pronounced “alt-J”, the delta sign is created when you hold down the alt key on your computer keyboard and punch ‘J’ on a Mac computer. The symbol has a deeper meaning for the band, as guitarist/bassist Gwil Sainsbury notes, “in mathematical equations it’s used to show change,” and the band’s relatively new name came at a turning point in their lives."
I'm enjoying this sweet new She and Him single from bed this morning (still fighting off the influenza unfortunately). How are your mornings going? Swell I hope! ('cause She and Him makes me say things like swell and influenza) ; ).
I'm such a sucker for beautiful light fixtures. We've put in new lights in most of the rooms in our house but i'm waiting for a big old industrial lamp for our kitchen and some cool side lights for the bedroom that work with the space. I think I might try get some of these vintage beauties from Hoi P'loy in Cape Town. They sell a range of light bulbs that are based on some of the original designs of the great Thomas Edison. (Ooh). I never thought i'd ever say this but how awesome are those filaments? They're probably not very energy efficient but they are beautiful.
If it's okay with you guys I'd like to put a little bit more of my photography work here, just a small handful of pictures from each shoot which I really loved. I promise that EJN won't become a wedding blog, just a few favourite stills about once a week. Is that alright?
These are from one of the prettiest, most detailed weddings we've ever shot at Arts on Main (one of our favourite venues to shoot at). The theme was old school botanical and the details were lovely and so different to any other wedding we've been to.
They also had the coolest photo booth. It was just tons of beautiful botanical prints stuck together and a square of astro turf to stand on (we took it around the city with us when we did the couple shoot and it made for a lot of fun photos).

I blogged about Orla Kiely's awesome A/W collection a few weeks ago and then yesterday I spotted her brand new Spring / Summer line over at SF Girl by bay. As always it's beautiful, fun and flirty. I love the 50's/60's influence on all her work. Those bathing suits! That tennis dress! Her clothes make me want to go to Palm Springs and drink mojito's all day.
Here are a few screen shots from the beautiful look book film which you MUST go watch it here.
This last weekend Dylan and I shot a wedding in Mpumalanga at arguably one of the coolest venues in the country called The Cowshed. We took our newly engaged friends with us, so they could check it out and also to road trip up to Limpopo afterwards to go see another awesome spot we shot at in late December last year.
The weekend went by so quickly but we soaked up the pine fresh air and beautiful views of Mpumalanga and Limpopo as much as we could.
We ended off our trip in a beautiful sleepy little town called Haenertsburg where we stayed in a log cabin on a lake, ate local pizza and even managed to squeeze in a little shoot for our friends. We couldn't have done it in a better setting! I'm excited to share more of these pictures soon.
If you're interested, Haenertsburg is about 4 hours from Joburg and the placed we stayed at is called Stanford lake.
I adore this fruit market / fresh produce look book for Falconwright's new Spring line of leather pouches. They all look particularly sweet, juicy and ripe for the picking! I don't care if we're going into Autumn here, I would wear a different one every day of the week. This season, Falconwright is all about abstract floral and fruit designs (along with the signature geometric looks) on bright leathers. I'm particularly hungry for the watermelon-shaped designs in stark white on black leather. Plus the contrasting neon zippers on many of the bags make them totally irresistible too!
