ImageSnap
27th March 2012
These Printed Ceramic Tiles by ImageSnap are cool. Upload your Instagram or digital photos, chose your size and finish (Gloss or Matte) and away you go.
Best of all, the tiles are standard sizes so using them at home when you finally get around to re-tiling your bathroom shouldn’t be an problem!

Adam Whitehead
22nd March 2012
Love this shot by British photographer Adam Whitehead for AMICA. It reminds me of Summer and road-tripping.
Marc Newson x Pentax
22nd March 2012
I have to admit I’m a Canon girl, but the camera I actually learnt to take photos on was my dad’s old Pentax.
I thought this Marc Newson designed Pentax K-01 was pretty nifty (it has the smallest fixed focal lens in the world) and it’s super cute in yellow.
DIA
20th March 2012
It’s my birthday in one week and the DIA lightbox frame is at the top of my wish list.
Super slick, sexy and all-round very cool, your photos are projected onto the transparent high-res LCD screen which gives the quality of a digital Ektachrome®. Images can be automatically uploaded with wifi or literally *wait for it* flicked across from an iPad or iPhone. Stunning. I wonder if they’re planning on producing larger format frames?

Amazing photographs of ink in water (amongst other very cool things) over on Italian graphic designer Alberto Seveso’s site.
(Thanks Han)
This Wild Idea
14th March 2012
This Wild Idea is a photography project by Theron Humphrey, a photographer from Georgia who’s now on Day 226 of his 365 Day drive around America.
Using photography as a way of connecting with people, Humphrey began a year long trip with the aim of meeting 1 new person every day and telling their story.
His photographs are beautiful, solem and tell the stories of these people exquisitely.
Also worth checking out is his very cool blog Maddie On Things.
Vanité
14th March 2012
…and while we’re writing about Gregoire Alexandre, how beautiful is this shot, Vanité?
French Connection S/S 2012
14th March 2012
French Connection’s S/S 2012 Campaign I am the Collection makes me smile every time I see it.
Shot by Gregoire Alexandre, I think it’s beautiful and it definitely brightens up a ride on the tube.
Dennis Stock
13th March 2012
Rock Festival at Venice Beach, 1968 – Dennis Stock.
I absolutely LOVE this image. I used to have a poster of it and it came with me every time I moved for almost 15 years.
Last night I found a book with it on the cover and it reminded me of how cool this shot is. It makes me wish I’d been there.
(It also reminds me of the beach and summer – both which are very far away in London-town today!)
Dan Halter | The Truth Lies Here
8th March 2012
The Truth Lies Here is Zimbabwean-born, Cape Town-raised Dan Halter’s 4th solo exhibition at What if the World Gallery in Woodstock.
“The show engages with notions of transmigration, the construction of ‘truths’, and the way in which things hold together and fall apart – the integration and disintegration of the fabric of the Zimbabwean Diaspora.”
I thought this image was pretty cool and I’m curious to see the rest of the show and his ideas about dislocated national identities - a subject that always interests me no matter where in the world it’s explored.
The Truth Lies Here is on from 8th March – 14th April.
Love & Neon
6th March 2012
Yay! I’m back!
Hello everyone!
After what was by far the best and most amazing love-filled month of my life, I’m sat again in front of my computer trying to get back into the swing of things… and it’s hard!
I’ve still got wedding fever on the brain and I promise to post some of the bits and pieces I made and designed for the wedding as soon as we get our photos back from the *oh-so-awesome-and-cool* welovepictures but in the meantime…
On Sunday morning I went to check out Design Indaba (A Taste of Sónar on Friday night was also very good fun) and the first thing I saw were hartedief hearts. Beautifully made, collectible pieces of art, I thought these sweet designs were rather appropriate in keeping with my theme of love.
The rest of my Design Indaba finds will be coming soon…
PS *Sweet wishes to The Joys and The Johnsons on their anniversaries today*
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!
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.
Time is Nothing
30th January 2012
Time is Nothing is not your usual timelapse.
17 Countries. 343 Days. 6237 Photographs. You’ll recognise a lot of the landmarks, and the landscapes are beautiful, but the cool thing is how much of the video is focused on people and how gorgeous the music is.
I loved seeing so many of the places we’ve been and it made me want to go to the ones we haven’t yet. Read more about Kien Lam’s travels here.
Definitely worth a watch.
(Thanks Dad)

Here’s some New Year Lion Luck on a Friday afternoon courtesy of my awesome Dad.

Land Down Under
26th January 2012
Happy Australia Day to all my friends and family in Oz!
I took this photo at Tamarama during Sculptures by the Sea. If anyone is ever in Sydney while it’s on (usually November time) be sure to check it out.
Audrey Hepburn
23rd January 2012
Wow. I thought this shot of Audrey Hepburn by iconic British photographer Terry O’Neill was beautiful. Simple, sexy and so different from many of the portraits you usually see of her.
Terry O’Neill: Screen Sirens & Rock Rebels has unfortunately just finished at the Proud Galleries in London, but the exhibition is still available to view online here.
