hairy sock is a jewellery line by visual artist ruta kiskyte. the jewellery itself is pretty much out of this world, as is the styling of her rhythm and blues f/w lookbook. yet another case of i just couldn’t pick my favourites…

it was bloggus interruptus around here because of heritage day. thursday was a bit of a b-day night out – taking full advantage of said public holiday. if you’ve just started your weekend, hope it’s rad.
i’m loving local jewellery line dear rae – got this ring as a gift (luckyyyyy) …

yippeeeee your dreams are about to come true because skermunkil has a new etsy shop! i think they’ve just about out done themselves with these cut out antique spoon necklaces…
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.

… i also discovered carly waito‘s incredible series of mineral paintings.
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)
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!
