#POPUPPORTRAITS

Last night, at the Tjing Tjing Exchange event, Andrew Brauteseth and I shared #PopUpPortraits

The idea was to take someone's portrait, send it to my iPad and for me to get "krehative" on the pic in 2 mins and tweet the picture. The photographs were shot in black and white and were not edited, other than my scribbles.

We had a Boss time.

These are my favourites from the evening. 
See more at Andrew's blog here.

LOCAL MUSIC // JOSHUA GRIERSON

I honestly can't get enough of this video and song.
Joshua Grierson is one of my favourite local artists, alongside Miss Texas 1977 and The Wild Eastern Arches

GORGEOUS TYPOGRAPHY

I'm really inspired by this gorgeous typography by Riccardo Sabatini

Wowzer.

YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL BEING

I saw this on JNN KPN's blog and then I saw this documentary 
and these guys are holding a sign over a highway saying 
"You are a beautiful being." 
It made me feel nice. 

Then I did this...

I hope it makes people feel love.

TAKE CARE // SPRING/SUMMER 2012

I've just fallen in love  with Take Care's new Spring collection.
Every season Jessica Harwood comes out with easy, simple, classic pieces.
Feminine and strong lines in simple monochrome with splashes of solid colour is the perfect combination of "must haves" for the Spring.

Easy to mix and match with the clothes already living in your closet, this range is filled with timeless beauty.

Visit the Take Care shop at 73 Kloof Street, Cape Town or online.

AND HELLO TO YOU PRETTY

I've just been put onto Hello Pretty's online shop, it's a beautifully laid out online shop stocking some really beautiful local products. 

I came across the hand made by me collection and have fallen in love.

Look at these beautiful napkins!

Ah, the beauty! These would make a lovely gift...to myself!

Savior Brand Co. hand make beguiling leather goods. My favourites are the iPad cover, laptop cover and luxury tote. I love their by line too " 100% handcrafted on the east coast of ZAR "

Loving this coat rack from Made by Seb, witha  name like "hanging Tree" how can you not want this little guy?

Bow Peep creates a beautiful array of accessories, including tote bags, bow ties, notebooks etc.

These wooden facet rings from Dor & Kie are a steal at R160 and I'd probably wear three on one hand!
