It is pouring with rain in Cape Town with record swells and destructive winds. So with no doubt in my mind I am sourcing online under a blanket on the couch today for inspiration for my “Home office” shoot I am creating next week. I always come to Style-Files for decor inspiration. They feature the [...]

I am sure you have realized by now I am an avid fan of Babazeka. They have just taken part in their first Sanlam S.A. Fashion Week, read what Sarah has to say here. I am rather disappointed for Babazeka and it sounds like many of the stores where not too impressed with the organization [...]

This one might be more for the boys, or I guess any gadget guru, but I love this sexy little silver clock. Working from home (a flat) it’s nice to know what the weather is doing outside. Unless it’s raining or completely cloudless I guess the temperature before leaving the 15th floor. (Often with a [...]

  I don’t know if I will ever use these little bags, most probably on a shoot more like it, but I couldn’t resist these off the night market street of Luang Prubang, Laos. I got one for my niece and hope she will use hers more than me, but they are just so different [...]

I had to share these with you. Raw silk clutch bags I got in Cambodia at the Old Market in Siem Reap. The colours were incredible, bright turquoise blue and cerise pinks. I couldn’t chose and so got these four colours. At R60 (+-$8) why not. I loved this silver silk clutch too, I loved [...]

Now here’s a fashion site doing good things! Phoenix Rising As the Pet Shop Boys once sang “I’ve got the brain, you’ve got the looks, let’s make lots of money….” And we – with our fervent imaginations – like to think it was this particular 80s anthem that CEO of Adili Adam Smith was excitedly… [...]

I love these bread boards from L’ Orangerie. I was lucky enough to receive this butter dish below from a friend. Mmm now to get my hands on the matching cups and saucers. I love green and most of my ceramics are some shade of green(the dirty shade like olive or sage) These are also from [...]

I caught myself thinking about Christmas the other day, yes ok it’s way early, but the rate my family is growing with engagements and pregnancies one has to plan ahead. I found these sweet little cards on Bloesem, wouldn’t they make great Christmas cards.   Cards by Lizzy House .
