Save the Date
17th February 2012
The dates have finally arrived!
8 months ago we sent out our Save the Date email and now 50 of our very best friends and family are winging their way to Cape Town for a massive party on the beach. 3 days of love, champagne and shenanigans in the sun. I can’t wait!
Please forgive me if I forget about you all for a couple of weeks. I’ll be back in full force in the middle of March (with pictures of all the bits and pieces I’ve been busy designing) and a married woman no less! Yippee!
It’s Friday, I’m in love!

♥ Be Together

Thought this ad, designed by Cape Town agency Am I Collective, was rather cute for ABSA Bank.
Be playful, be together…
Happy Valentine’s Day!
A Minute Silence Does NYFFF
7th February 2012
Can I just mention how cool my lovely friends over at AMS are?
I’ve just found out that their two part Polly video was featured at the New York Fashion Film Festival!
Read a bit more about it here…and um…yes, that is AMS mentioned in the same sentence as Lanvin, Mulberry, Miike Snow and Karen Elson. Rock on Lynnda Needles and Danny Sangra.
OK Go
6th February 2012
Thought OK Go’s new video for Needing/Getting was pretty cool. 4 months of prep and 4 days of shooting.
Jasper Goodall
6th February 2012
Here’s a little something for a sunny Monday afternoon from one of my all time favourite illustrators, Jasper Goodall.
Design Indaba 2012
6th February 2012
Design Indaba is fast approaching and I’m looking forward to seeing what’s in store for 2012.
Spanish industrial designer, product designer and artist Jaime Hayón is high up on my list of people to check out (Hope Bird is one of his) as is MDC Interiors.
I am also crazy excited about “A Taste of Sónar” which is on at City Hall on Friday 2nd March. I love that Design Indaba is broadening its creative scope and throwing some awesome electronica into the mix!
Big Love
2nd February 2012
Thought this Big Love Bowl by Alessi was a beautiful shape, plus ice cream always tastes better shared.
Yukka
2nd February 2012
I’ve been having a bit of thing for succulents and cactus recently, and although a Yukka is neither (!) it reminded of this photo I took a couple of years ago. Pretty.
Logo Impressions by a 5-year-old
2nd February 2012
This video by identity designer Adam Ladd is amazing. He asked his 5 year old what she thought about the logos he showed her.
Have you ever looked at the Olympic logo as though it were a baby’s toy? Now you will.
Gorgeous and insightful.

Shine Shine
1st February 2012
Oh! The crazy illustrations and gorgeous colours of Shine Shine fabrics are bea-ut-i-ful.
Shine Shine graphics are designed by Heidi Chisholm, a South African who now lives in Brooklyn. Check out stores like Heartworks and African Image in Cape Town for their products.
All You Need Is Love
1st February 2012
The fine folk over at Smashing Magazine have released their pick for February’s Desktop Wallpaper Calendar series.
Lots of very Valentine’s Day (read: Wedding!) appropriate ones. I like this one by Allison Brown.
Check out the rest here.
Reality TV
1st February 2012
This Reality TV venn diagram designed by Vulture made me laugh this morning! Especially the intersecting ‘Cake’ ‘Weddings’ and ‘Wars’ overlap!
