Papabubble

Papabubble refers to themselves as 'caramels artisans.'

I think they are the most beautiful, colourful, magical, deliciousful candy in the world. This is all I have left over from the jar I bought in New York.

And the packaging is as delightful.

The site was down on Friday so apologies for no post!
Hope you had a wonderful weekend :)

Fall + Autumness

Johannesburg has the most beautiful Autumns - crisp air, warm days, fiery trees, and a time to get out your favourite scarves without having to bundle up too much. A perfect time to share this intricate leave art.

Guest Post: Moodboards

As you know from my Easter weekend post  I have a new iPad2 and beyond obsessed with the Moodboard app. If you have an iPad, download the app now... it is a fantastic time waste and creative outlet.
Here are 3 of my favourites, click to enlarge.

“All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That’s his.”

Happy Mothers' Day! (For yesterday). My mother had, and still does, a huge influence on my style. She is a very elegant woman and has kept up with the times in a classic, never-dating, age-appropriate. always-stylish way. As babies and little girls she would dress me and my sisters in matching outfits that she made herself and so far she has co-designed and made all our wedding dresses. If you ever meet her, look down at her shoes (envy of any shoe-fiend).

NY Times featured designers and the impact their mother's had on their way of dressing.Take a look into the lives of others...

 Jason Wu and his mother, Mei-Yung Wu

"She taught me to always buy something that you’re going to want in 30 or 40 years, not something you want just right now."

Georgina Chapman with her mother, Caroline Wonfor

"And she’ll give me little notes like, you know, “There should be a little bit more along the sleeve or a bit of this with the hemline.” She always had a classic, tailored style." 

 Rachel Roy with her mother, Ruth Roy

"One thing I took from my mother was that she always wore Chanel No. 5, and that’s still the only one I’ll wear today."

 Tory Burch and her mother, Reva Robinson

"She always told me I had to do sequin T-shirts like Jackie O. wore."
