thief & bandit
i’ve become a one-item-of-jewellery-at-a-time kind of gal, so i absolutely love the handmade pieces from thief & bandit because they are simultaneously striking & beautifully simple. their t-shirts are great, too.
spartan
gaudy gold
when i was young i always associated gold jewellery with greek moms who wore white jeans, or rich ladies with yachts – a resounding yuck from my perspective. as with most things in life my tastes changed considerably as i grew up, and now i much prefer yellow gold to silver, platinum etc. (tastefully, i wouldn’t wear more than one piece of gold at a time.)
minerals
while eyeing kathryn blackmore‘s new agate necklace …
… i also discovered carly waito‘s incredible series of mineral paintings.
skermunkil
marietjie & her team at skermunkil have been churning out amazing stuff for the design indaba expo this weekend (from today the 26th till sunday the 28th). i’m so looking forward to seeing their stand (and perhaps making a sneaky purchase)
things
i wasn’ t planning on posting today because i’ve been sick in bed for a day and a half. however, there’s only so much sleeping and tv watching a girl can do before feverish boredom sets in. so i decided to play around with my camera which hasn’t got much love from me lately, and took some shots of things i own & treasure.
i found this cup & saucer in a second hand shop in kleinmond. it was made by a finnish company called arabia (i assume it’s from the 50′s/60′s) and is, by far, my favourite thing to drink tea / coffee out of. if it ever had to break, my heart would break. best of all – it has no chips!

kris·miss·moss gift guide
i’m thinking about christmas already. sigh. my family has instituted a one gift per person R100 limit (to combat the “meltdown“). i told them R100 is almost impossible, so i’m shooting for under 200 bucks. anything handmade is great to me, and anything i can order online is even better. if i can walk to a shop – wonderful, but that kind of limits you geographically & since i’m out in “the sticks” (as some might say) i welcome e-commerce with open arms (i’m also lazy). PLUS i’d also like to inject some christmas cheer into the south african postal service (i have faith!) – herewith my south african friendly online shopping gift guide

bumper fashion special #19 – i’m interested to see what direction things are going to go next, feel that the rock / studded look is getting played a lot (even though… i love it)
