oh so pretty!

came across these pics and just got lost in them. they are so divine - alice in wonderland meets jean paul gaultier no? or something like that...love the cherry blossoms...they look so dreamy! pic taken by georges antoni...what a talented man! love his photographs....

i want this!

i confess: im a quasi slob. as in, im quite fond of clutter and books and pinboards and the chaotic way they all come together to make a room look lived in. and this here office is a perfect example of what i want mine to look like. if i had one. loving the eiffel tower lamp and the cameo on the wall. love it love it!

hair trend alert

i love soft, romantic hair and this hair trend doesnt disappoint. we are always a season behind, and this is a fall 2010 trend, but its so pretty and chic that i had to share. its so simple to recreate as well.

eye spy with my little eye

oh.my.hat. i have never seen anything so perfect. ever. man this woman must have loads of time on her hands. how beautiful is that? i could never pull something like that off, what with my fat eyelids and all. pretty impressive! pic courtesy of makeupaddict

stuff thats nice for jozi girl

we dont have enough vintage style markets in jhb - that being said, the ladies from stuff thats nice (click here for their facebook page) have managed to secure a guesthouse in craighall as their pop up store venue, where for a limited period you can do some shopping - be sure to visit their fb page to see when is their next event! happy shopping

a shop that makes me cry...

with joy. its not often that im blown away by the fashion available at stores like edgars, truworths et al, but forever new (fourways mall and woodlands mall pretoria) is just in a league of its own. i love the soft colours, the salmon pinks, the rose bracelets, the shoes, bags, hair accessories...absolutely everything...even the decor and changing rooms are to die for. also there is always a sale rack with items that you can really take home for next to nothing - in size ten. i mean, where do you get that nowadays? image from the forever new collection
