the rest

Here are the rest of the photo's from my most recent roll of film.

The first two are from the Kalk Bay Nursery, pretty much a gardeners paradise, & the last is a shot of Fish Hoek Beach on a rather dreary day.

Are you all ready for March tomorrow? I'm quite freaked it got here so quickly but excited nonetheless as it's my birthday month (:

the make believe sea

I have a blog crush. A serious blog crush on the make believe sea.

They know something

They know something we don't. A secret between them. Something that, even if they told us, we wouldn't understand because it's their secret. A secret in its own little language forged by their friendship.

nineteen

I found these pictures over on Luphia Loves & instantly was in awe.

I knew however that there was someone out there who would most probably have a slight seizure if she saw these. A seizure of joy I tell you.

Well, I showed them to her & you betcha she almost passed out.

Hooray for Mothers with great taste! (:

Happy Saturday all, I'm hopefully heading off to the local car boot sale to see what I can find.

heavenly

Heaven is definitely a place I'd hope to visit someday (in the most non-suicidal sense) but if that doesn't happen I've found somewhere that could be quite a close second.

The Lviv Chocolate Factory.

Kalk Bay Harbour

It's a bit of a cliche that every Cape Town based photographer has pictures of Kalk Bay Harbour in their portfolio & I had tried to fight the cliche but eventually I gave in. There is a reason everyone wants to take photos there - it's so very pretty.

These are some analogue pictures I took in December of last year.











Click on the pictures to head on over to my flickr.

Ruche

After seeing Ruche's Spring lookbook over on The Drifter & the Gypsy I knew I had to share it with you all.

I just cannot get over the florals, the neutrals, the bunny rabbit, the bunting, the red hair. Basically, the entire collection.

yes please

Oh, I want nails like these in all their pastel coloured goodness.

I've been stuck in such a rut when it comes to painting my nails in these Summer times. I'm so used to my dark purple, dark red or maybe even a black varnish for Winter but in Summer all I've been wearing is cream nail varnish. Oh goodness me, life is so very tough :P

What colours do you all like decorating your nails with in the Summer months?

this is not porn

A friend of mine told me about a new site she'd found featuring relatively unknown pictures of stars from the bygone years. It's called thisisnotporn.net & I have to admit at first I was a bit skeptical but I promise you it really isn't porn, well it could be considered porn for anyone with a love of quirkyness, photography and anything vintage.

drawing room.

Carles Rodrigo's drawing room.

I have a glass jar perched on my desk filled with paint brushes of all different sizes for whenever I feel the urge to paint. I'm no artist but I just love the feeling of painting and, making a complete mess is always something I'm up for doing.

However I'm not sure if painting in clothes as beautiful as these would be a very good idea.

alphabet

If my teachers had used these illustrations in pre-school I bet you I would have learned my alphabet a whole load faster.

Paradoks Cat

I haven't utterly fallen in love with a picture in quite some time but luckily that first picture by paradoks cat has me whispering sweet nothings to my computer screen just in time for Valentine's Day.

I hope you're all having a wonderful day sharing lots of love (:

Band of Outsiders

I know we've all been eating up the gorgeous photos of Kirsten Dunst in Band of Outsiders but I just can't get over James Marsden strutting his stuff in their wonderful clothes. I love how playful the lookbook is, I know it sounds weird, but to me it makes the clothes seem more wearable. What do you think?











More pictures of James being gorgeous over here.

collages

To my absolute surprise, I didn't get any homework for this weekend and have the full extent of Saturday and Sunday to do as I wish. You know what that means right? Drinking tea, thrifting, reading, baking and maybe I'll take some inspiration from Stefany Allves and do some scrapbooking.

Striking

Expressions in black & white just seem to be better. Dog expressions are even better though.
