dear twitter, thanks for introducing me to matt who describes himself as a ‘builder, designer and tinkerer’ (i like that.) his blog wood & faulk is where he records his projects involving building, designing and tinkering. he also has a shop that’s stocked with all sorts of nice stuff. check out this cork wrapped french porteur handlebar he put together for his bike…
i mean really, go matt!
trawling through the archives of tomboy style by lizzie garrett is a favourite thing to do.
To define a tomboy requires searching far beyond the simple notion of wearing boy’s clothing. Tomboys have influenced the expanses of popular culture including fashion, film, music, and literature. Although the tomboy is often identified by clothing, what makes her wholly so is an inherent sense of confidence, rebelliousness, and adventure.

i’m a bit late jumping on the south african blog awards bandwagon, but i noticed that the categories i kind of fall into are sponsored by jameson (fashion) and club havana (design). could people potentially win a case of whiskey and/or rum? in that case, i’m in. if you feel like voting for this wee blog just click here or on the button in the sidebar.
i’m hoping all my favourite local blogs will make it to the next stage of the competition and that they will be swimming in a pool of ginger beer & rum by the end of it.

catorialist = a cat version of the sartorialist – say no more. the titles of the photos really made me lol though. “on the street…. that coat!”
