i have had an aversion to Instagram lately, only because i find it hard that it is the go-to for everything now a days. where did you find that? oh i saw it on Instagram. did you hear about this amazing new place? yeah I saw it on Instagram. i don’t know, i just long …
please enjoy these very serene mountainous landscapes by Taiwanese artist Chih-Hung Kuo. you can read more about his work here – he is represented by Aki Gallery in Taipei. Walking along the long curvy road, and overlooking the towering clouds. Follow Chih-Hung KUO’s brushes, our eyes bring mind into the far grand mountains. Through the mountains, …
you may remember that a few years ago Monya of Stokperd and I did a series called Visits. we unfortunately didn’t get very far with them because we ended up both having kids literally 2 weeks apart! but we still collaborate on projects and every now and then she calls me in to take photos …
i spotted the photo above of Tove Jansson somewhere online and it made me stop, dead in my digital tracks. “i want to be her” i thought to myself. jk guys, i really just felt very inspired by her in that moment. i knew who she was, the creator of The Moomins. but otherwise i …
my friend Lar and her husband Craig moved from Cape Town to the north coast of KZN a few years back (you may remember that i posted about her beautiful ballet photography, and i also designed her website many moons ago!) they bought a plot of land a few minutes walk from the beach and …

Marrot grew up in Paris and attended L’école des Arts Décoratifs at the age …
Frances May has been one of my favourite shops since for always, so when i received the news that they were launching their very own Houseline i thought – “YES!!” there are six dresses in the collection (in a variety of colours and fabrics) and i honestly would wear every single one (it’s not often that i can look at an entire collection and think,”wow they would ALL really suit me.”) they all look so flattering…
hello! i feel like i owe you an explanation as to why the blog is so quiet these days. so, if you’re interested, read on – or just skip to the fun stuff while i get a little bit wordy. i temporarily shelved my working life during Axel’s first year, as we decided i would be his primary caregiver while Anton worked. it was both joyous and tough for me. to be able to spend so much time with him during such an important phase was a real privilege, but it also meant that i lost my grip on some parts of my life…
