have a warm weekend

... whether that warmth is default from the  sweltering weather you are having in the US or if it is self-induced because of this icy weather that decided to grace Jo'burg this morning, may it be a good weekend.

Here some lucky links from around the web:

Watch this video if you are feeling a little negative about the crazy, (sometimes) cruel world we live in

I wore my hair like this to work this week for a relaxed, casual vibe

This clutch, in any of the three colours, is right up there on my wish list

It's perfect weather for a movie - I was given two free tickets and have been dying to watch The Bang Bang Club

And finally a little tune to get you through Friday (thanks Julia!)

Another place

I feel like an escape to somewhere a little way away. To relax. Breathe. Read in front of a fire. And not much else. Emily Moon in Plettenberg Bay would be ideal.

PS. I could do with a pair of those horns on my wall!

Guest Post: Me Want Miu Miu

There are no words for the Miu Miu Resort 2012 collection. Okay, maybe a few words, like: I want it all!

How amazing are these images! They are split-shots, taken inside the water and outside of it at the same time, usually with a fish-eye lens.

What a beautiful world we live in.

Wise words from the streets of NY

Once again, inspired by city streets. I need to get out of the office more and find some wise words from Jo'burg...

Guest Post: Happy Friday

Bailey (and the husband) and I (and the boyfriend) are off to Cape Town this weekend for a friend's wedding. I can't wait: I love Cape Town, I love weddings and I love both even more with my sister as my sidekick.

Here are a few fab things to enjoy this sunny Friday:

How yum do these paintings look? Simply delicious I say. 

And these cards? I think the pop up is just fantastic, I am all about a bit of greeting card dimension. 

Who said, looks do not count? Especially when it comes to cars! Sigh! How great are these pics? 

I wish I could have the entire Prada Summer 2011 collection for my wardrobe, I would wear a different stripe everyday.

Amber Jones is right: Oh Baby! 

So true, so true: All you need is love... and chocolate

Oh my goodness, I think these badges are just a must must have. 

Download these gift tags, they will make any gift delicious.  

What do you need more of?

Guest Post: Fantastic Florals

I am a flower kind of girl. Pretty bouquets, printed dresses and anything else that is blooming make my heart smile. I know this is a bit of a Spring post for this cold Winter's day but at least they remind us of what is around the corner.

Orange and grey

These are two pics I took in New York in April.

I love the colours in the images - the deep red-browns against the stark greys and touches of black. It inspired me find other images embracing these tones.

Happy Birthday Madiba

The hugest happy birthday to the man that makes us all proud to be South African. We are honored to call you our own.

I love this site that has popped up streaming all the tweets that tag #WeLoveMadiba.
