Cycle Mondays

The streets of India of are a mad compendium of all sorts of transport - buses, cards, tuk tuks, camels, horses, motorbikes, trains, scooters, rickshaws and of course bicycles. We saw bicycles used as ice-trucks, milk vans, and multi-person modes of transport. Here are some pics below...

Happy Weekend

Hello Friday. How are you? In Johannesburg it is an almost-summer's winter day, with sweaters being shed, drinks being pured and the sun being welcomed on hibernating skin. I hope Mother Nature cooperates and keeps it up for the next two days.

I grew up with Lego. Our playroom floor was a permanent villages of crumbling Lego house and half-way built helicopters. So I always love to see new, inventive Lego designs. Take a look at these tropical birds and some more pieces here.

What is the collective noun for posts on collective nouns? If you want to know the collective noun for deer read this (and here my two previous posts here and here).

This coat freaks me out but here's a hug for all of you. 

Best email I have received in a while

This morning I opened my inbox and found this...

"Oooh that's cold!"

You smell nice.

Tonight Cheska and I are going to experience a sensory exploration of Tom Ford's new fragrances. Yum (that yum is more for Tom Ford than the fragrances). The theme: Uber (what to wear!?). I am rather excited.

And did I mention that I heart Tom Ford? (Yes, yes, I know he won't be there, but still...).

Melt Bottles

Polish designer Agnieszka Bar has created a range of glass bottles with collapsed bases. Aren't they beautiful. It would look perfect on my new counter tops in my new kitchen (yip, we are still renovating... 3 months on).

Guest Post: hahaha

Although this project by Dina Goldstein, titled 'Fallen Princesses' is rather disturbing and cynical, I do find it rather funny.

(Ps. Click on the images to enlarge - it is worth seeing these close up!)
