once upon a time

I bought this Kenneth Whitley print at Ikhaya's stand at the I Heart Market over the weekend. R120. And it was framed! Always a bonus, especially considering the fact that I have several beautiful prints waiting impatiently to go to the framer...

one can dream

Stella McCartney always seems to know just what to design to make me happy and sad at the same time. Happy because wow, her clothes are amazing, and sad because sigh, I could never afford them.

19th century love story

I finally watched Jane Eyre over the weekend and I loved it. I suggest you take the rest of the day off and get theeself to a video store ASAP. Sigh. It was so romantic. And Mr. Rochester was quite lovely...

I would love to paint a room in our new place this vibrant pink. What do you think, husband?

dressing for your type

Though I may like floaty maxi dresses and the like, I know they make me look frumpy and hippy (not hippie), no matter the cut. Hence my daily uniform of fitted jeans and a size-too-big top - boring, but I know it suits my body best.

what's a girl to do

Ok, why am I being bombarded with awesome retro things that I can't buy lately? All these beauties are in Cape Town. Big sigh.

Well, apart from this print. It is in Howick, which isn't too far from Durban. We could just go and fetch it... R300
