SIGH

I have never ever wanted a biscuit tin more badly in my whole life. Sanna Annukka's beautiful folk inspired graphics are so so beautiful they make me sigh and pine and generally want to be a better person (ok maybe a bit far but she is ridiculously talented). I am in love with these tins Marks and Spencer's biscuits (top) and Paulig Coffee (bottom). sigh.

FINALLY

Due to my Capetonian heritage I must admit that in my life I have become accustomed to a certain level of fantastic in the food department, something that I often miss in Durbs (no offense). Imagine my complete freak out on discovering Col'Caccio Pizzeria at gateway. Now most Durbanites will not understand why I am making such a big deal over a lil pizzera this because you have not tasted possibly the best pizza on earth so you are none the wiser (this is not your fault). So I implore you to ditch work immediately get in your car and go to Col'Caccio and realise the dream that is the best pizza ever, maybe even in the world. Otherwise you can just perve over their menu, below... which will eventually result in you ditching work and going there anyway, no one on earth can resist. yum.

OH GOSH

It would appear that christmas has come 350 days early this year. 

When this erm...package arrived in my inbox today I literally had to go and stand outside the office, stop hyperventilating and take a personal moment. The fact that Giorgio Armani took it upon himself to personally see my dreams become a reality is an incredible honor (I didn't even realise he knew who is was). Enjoy.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

I have decided to start loading a thought of the day If you have one you feel particularly strongly about please dont hesitate to mail it to me x.

SPILT MILK

I have recently discovered Kate Stanton's gorgeous range of bikinis. They come in a range of gorgeous styles and flirty fabrics that will make any girl feel booty-licious as all hell! They are also ridiculously well priced at around R350. The range is available in 'The Wardrobe' Kloof Street Cape town as well as Roseanne and Pushkin in Cape Town and Durbs. You can also order directly from Kate see here for details. 

I DONT HAVE R2 BUT HERE IS AN R8

Seriously, this is not a joke, If thought that you had to work hard all your life counting and saving every cent you had in order to cruise the street in your dream mobile YOU ARE WRONG!

 

Apparently this guy also gave away his house but that is yet to be confirmed.

ONE SIZE FITS ALL

Have you seen the latest V Magazine? It's called the size issue and it is rocking my world. How exciting that magazines such as V are finally embracing the fact that not everyone has the will power to live on Goji berries and Cigarettes! I also love that the more normal looking girl looks 100 times hotter, more gorgeous and fab than goji berry ciggie eater on the left. click here for more.

 

WAITING SUCKS

I am so excited I could actually POP! Today I ordered the most devastatingly beautiful prints from none other than Kareena Zerefos. 

Unique and refreshing in its simplicity, her work often captures young children in moments of endearing expression as they discover their imaginary worlds. Mysterious giants and fragile creatures populate these shadowy worlds; like the curious owl, who simply says ‘hello’, or the deer alone in the silent woods. -www.kareenazerefos.com


I am going to go and set up camp by my post box and wait, bye.

LOVE LOVE LOVE

When I was litle, I had this book - I forget the name - about a little girl who makes friends with the fairies in her garden. Now as we all know, no fairy book is complete without a grand fairy ball and this book really came to the party. I remember paging through the illustrations looking at ball-gowns in every colour you could imagine made from tulip petals and rose buds to dew drops and silvery spider's web thread. When I came across these H&M pics I was reminded of this story, it made me smile:) I hope they make you do the same.

This dress makes me want to weep it is so beautiful. It makes me want to go out and drink cosmos with the girls and dance till sunset * sigh * click here for more. In my little dream world, these -items below- are hanging in my closet. (I also look like the girl above:).

OH JOY! AND HYSTERIA

I am completely wild with excitement at the discovery that OH JOY! stationery is available in south africa. I have been an oh joy blog addict for ages and never thought i would get to actually hold and touch one of their gorgeous products-ever! let alone own some of it. HOORAY! 

OTTOLENGHI

This christmas I was introduced, by my also cooking obsessed mother, to the delicious world of Ottolenghi . To say I am obsessed would be an understatement. "Ottolenghi draws on a wealth of culinary traditions – with a focus on the Mediterranean basin – providing inventive yet honest food, anything from a lemon and mascarpone tart to a grilled mackerel with olive and raisin salsa." I flip through this gorgeous book every day and perve over just about every recipe all of which are written in a super user friendly and easy to follow manner. I cannot wait to start working my way through these wonderful recipes and highly suggest you get your hands on a copy and start cooking today, you wont regret it:)
