these things issue no.15
was lucky to be featured in the july issue of marie claire south africa along with some wonderful local bloggers. best part about it all though is that they included a picture of my mom – whose response was, “oh gosh!”
i did another little colour comparison colab with j.crew – check it out it here
also loved picking my five favourites at spence for their first local bloggers feature

this old photo discovered by martin petersen. on the back is written,
for mum. in the swiss dining wagon with swiss beer (big bottle = 0,10 dm) the food was good and very cheap. you could feel that you are in a land of peace. in the window frame: a bit of the swiss landscape, but very dull. who would not (according to bruno) fade out behind myself?

Excellent round-up. I particularly like the Artemis Leatherware and workplace photos. The nutella banana cake made me hungry….mmmm!
Excellent stuff!! Also, I’m sure you already know this, but since you said you’re on the hunt for green pants, the seafoam ones in the middle are these: http://store.americanapparel.net/rsa0319l.html?cid=153
oh cool – thanks for letting me know!
So much inspiration in one post! I’m loving the green pants and have been on a mad search for some. Digging the JCrew color collab too. Good work!
So many great things! But the best are those green pants. They are just like Mitch Brenner’s pants at the end of “The Birds!
There is so many amazing things in this post I dont even know what to comment on! Its just all great!

Congratulations for Marie Claire! Another wonderful collection of things to gawk at today – I’m in love with those Etwas bags, and the green trousers.
Congrats for Marie Claire, so well deserved. I’ve been reading your blog for so long and love your fashion and interior inspirations. Loving the shout-out to Miss Sally Draper – best dressed little-person on TV.
This round-up was astounding! Thank you. I am particularly tickled by the Tuscany feature from the vintage Vogue…having lived there 7 years, my heart swells at any *interesting* representation of that most beautiful of regions.
Also…I recently thrifted 2 pairs of green pants; seafoam and chartreuse. Guess I was on-target! ;)
All the bags U show in this post are amazing!!!! Great post, really!!! All the pictures are so beautiful and cute… And congratulations for the Marie claire’s!!!
Xxx from Formentera, Spain!! :D

Such a great lineup of post, I’ve had to go through it a few times cause there’re so many great photos. Thanks for sharing.
xoxo
so it’s official, you’re a star :) I suspect we already knew this though!
so many awesome things in this post! Well done. Who are those paintings buy in the South Africa Marie Claire – they are amazing!!!
my dear – can i just say that you inspire me to be a better blogger and I think you deeply for that! Kudos to mad skills! PS (are they ever for hire?!)
The Artemis bags are so beautiful! The one I ordered is too small for my purposes, though, and I’m offering it at a discount here: http://thegeneraleconomy.blogspot.com/2011/11/artemis-leatherware-hand-stitched-brown.html
