These Things No.45

hello!! i’m back from my holiday in the bush which was just THE BEST. will tell you more about that later, but first i have to edit down the hundreds of photos we took. in the meantime i’ve been catching up on the internet today – it’s actually pretty rad going away for a week and  coming back to a completely refreshed feed. here are snippets of stuff that caught my eye, in these things no.45.

i’ve featured talented local illustrator Katrin Coetzer before – so it’s no wonder she & her husband Matthew had a beautiful wedding, (not to mention her dress) – photographed by Modern Hearts:

i don’t fly very often, but when i do i load up on magazines (something i never actually buy – that’s why the internet exists in my opinion) and the new Céline campaign really caught my eye:

while i was away the Forts exhibition happened, check out the lookbook Mariah & Amy did for it:

new stuff from Steven Alan that i could see myself wearing (links: dress & sandals):

love the styling at Polder (via Mariah):

my Rib & Hull heirloom tote is one of the best things i own, and now they’re bringing out a larger zipped version!

like the look of this large screenprinted notebook:

illustrator Julia Marco’s series of her favourite cities:

Project Bly explores the world’s bazaars, starting with Mumbai:

These Things No.43

Monday 10 December, 2012 / Stuff / Comments { 14 }

i had to kick off the latest these things with this ridiculously beautiful Acne colourblock tote. holy totes designer handbags are expensive though! just looking at the price makes my eyes water. oh well, this is one for the fantasy books.

on to something far more affordable and practical – i love these holiday acorn stickers and gift tags by Lemonni. it’s not often that you find gift tags that aren’t super christmasey, so i dig that these are both neutral and lovely.

speaking of christmas, i think that this upcycled vintage bicycle made by locals starling & hero bicycle co for 36 boutiques would be at the top of my santa, i’ve been really good wish list. thanks to robyn cooke for the beautiful styling.

love the careful detailing of designer Angélique Chmielewski:

remember i posted about Tracy’s beautiful ceramics? well, this is her beautiful home shot by Laure Joliet:

Ilana Kohn has been making gorgeous marbled textiles:

Leah, Rachael & Julia have also been making beautiful textiles – silky scarves, that is:

Maike recently visited the Pedersens and their bump – non-cheesy family photography at its best:

keeping it local, i liked the pieces from Take Care’s capsule collection:

discovered the wonderful illustrative work of Olimpia Zagnoli thanks to Mallory:

enjoyed getting a sneak peak of Sarah’s studio thanks to Eva, who has a great Spaces column that you should bookmark:

beautiful pieces by Penny Sage:

i love the styling of The Old Library, a restaurant in Sydney:

you may call me a broken record at this time of year, but i’m so jealous of winter in the north right now. especially because of this coat at no.6 store…

…and the cosy looks of Dianna Lunt photographed by Citizen Couture:

have you seen the amazing bags by Clare Vivier at Of a Kind?

nice wares over at Canoe:

woodpecker notebooks:

a beautiful new lookbook from Seaworthy:

interesting antler ring:

speaking of beautiful jewellery, you can now by south african designer Dear Rae at Need Supply:
