Warm & Glad

I found my new favourite coffee shop in Jo'burg this weekend - Warm & Glad. Don't you love the name? (Although the husband keeps referring to it as Warm & Fuzzy). It's all about food (delicious), media (think vintage vinyls and wireless), culture (hello cool prints and a wide selection of international magazines), and coffee.

The spot is filled with light, large glass windows over looking Jan Smuts Avenue, marble tops and Persian rugs. It is cool and I know where I will hanging out on Saturdays.

Happy Fathers Day

Our Dad has always had a moustache. It suits him (I cannot imagine him without one!). And it is all lovely and grey now. This card would be perfect for him (thanks sisters (Cheska and Alex) for passing it on to me!)

Happy Father's Day Dad! We love you.

Friday Friday Friday

We are kicking the weekend off with dinner at Good Luck Club (love this spot, particularly the kitten wallpaper). And tomorrow we are going to a party to celebrate our friends marriage (in between the hunt for taps for our kitchen, entertaining friends from abroad, and of course, supporting the Boks against England).

What are you getting up to?

These collages are quite surreal (wouldn't it be fun to do one yourself) 

Great thing to do on a Jo'burg winter's weekend - cycle tour of Soweto

I want these pants!

A pocket manfriend is kind of creepy, kind of cool

The things James Bond and Don Draper have in common (le sigh!)

Gorgoeus take-away cups at V&A

Who do you think is the most powerful celebrity?

A surrealist house that plays tricks with your mind

Quirky packaging design (I love the skipping rope shopping bags)

Good advice

Of course a bubblegum installation will be full of pretty colours

A Parisian apartment left untouched for over 70 years (many a treasure in there that I woudl love to get my hands one)

Have a wonderful weekend chicklets.

Wrap up warm or bask in the sunshine.

5 months to go...

The count down to Cheska's wedding has well and truly begun!

A few week ago we went with Cheska to try on dresses a the newly opened Pronovias store in Sandton. The experience was wonderful (think dress-fitters, runways, digital selections, private rooms, a selection that goes on for rows and rows), and the dresses are breathtakingly beautiful. I want to post every photo I took of Cheska in all sorts of creations but promised bridey-to-be I would just pick one.

Doesn't she look amazing!?
