One of each, please

Monday 20 May, 2013 / Fashion / Comments { 11 }

i have a continuous board on pinterest called one of each, please which is probably one of my most frequently pinned to boards. i think you can guess what the theme is. a lot of my time online is spent window shopping, it’s a problem. so i’m trying out this new widget that neatly puts together some of my favourite stuff i’m coveting to easily share with you.

the theme for today is kinda dusty pink, peachy, natural, white. you get it. if you guys like this series then i’ll keep it going! if you can’t see the pictures below then… well, this is awkward. let’s forget it ever happened.

i am a huge fan of Heidi Swanson’s amazing food blog 101 Cookbooks - and i’m sure you are too – but i only recently discovered her beautiful photography (other than her food photography, of course). she is a super talented lady, with a new york times bestselling cookbook and wonderfully curated online shop Quitokeeto. check out more of her photos at flickr.

nido

Monday 20 May, 2013 / Fashion / Comments { 4 }

i know i complain about our endless summers a plenty – it’s not the sunshine that gets me, it’s just the heat guys! i revel in the short winter months where i get to wear stockings and scarves and coats and things made from wool. i must admit though, it never gets that cold. i don’t think i have worn gloves in south africa more than a handful (…) of times in my entire life. that does not mean i wouldn’t buy a pair. it would probably just end up sitting in a drawer all sad and lonely, waiting for the cold.

if that day ever comes i would definitely not mind rocking a pair of wool gloves from argentinian label nido (i would also like one of those peach jerseys, please). their pieces are handknitted with 100% sheep wool which is “made from a women cooperative located in Mary Grande, a village near of Paraná, Entre Ríos. they shear their sheep, produce the fleece, spin them by hand on wooden distaff and dye the wool with colors extracted from nature: blackberry, onion, locust bark, eucalyptus leaves.”

Katrin Coetzer: Honeymoon

Monday 13 May, 2013 / Art / Comments { 12 }

living in Cape Town allows me to see the work of some of my favourite local artists in person, and Katrin Coetzer is one of them (who you may have seen me mention on the blog a few times – and you will probably remember her gorgeous wedding). she’s currently showing her latest exhibition Honeymoon at Salon91 in Kloof Street – it is showing until this Saturday 18 May, so get down there and have a look if you haven’t already. i walked out of there feeling so happy, you guys.

Honeymoon marks a personal current period in artist Katrin Coetzer’s life, where she is forging a connection between her inner world and the geographical spaces she visits – real, imaginary and remembered. Honeymoon further references a waning sweetness and suggests the meeting point of fantasy, place and memory. The content of this body of work is centered around themes of spatial exploration, & exotic vs local seen through the lenses of feeling and itinerary…
