Keri Smith

I was recently very fortunate to get an Amazon.com voucher and in my search for the perfect book I found her, Keri Smith.  The 2 books I immediately ordered looked like loads of fun and I’m patiently (running to the box, pushing people out of my way, breaking the key off in the lock) checking my mailbox every day for these.

Loving your style

Unique style is something you rarely see.  These stylish couples are definitely showing us how to dress the part.  You can be sleek and sexy in a suit or rocking out with leather and animal print.

Happy New Year

I hope you have all set your new year’s resolutions.  This is 2012 and you’ll be seeing a lot more of me!

Drinks Trolley

I was planning on sharing this on my Vintage Favourites but I loved it so much I decided to share this with you as a separate post.  The hints of green with the green martini glass, lime and bottles combined with the red tray makes a perfect match for this glass drinks trolley… Aaaaa!

New Favourite Things

My new favourite things for this week are tweet’s from different people whom I follow.  I’ve seen these tweeted by them and have fallen in love with them.

1)  Shared by @ThatNicole:  Sitting Pretty. Narina Trogan Chairs

2)  Shared by @THELOVEMAGAZINE:  Louis Vuitton STAG night

3)  Shared by @styledotcom:  Wine stained lips and clean hair left to air dry for rough cool texture

Fairy Tale Cakes

Are you in love with fairy tales?  Need a cute idea for your wedding cake topper?  How about putting your favourite fairy tale couple on top?  Like this very cute topper of Beauty and the Beast.

Cute Outdoor Feature

These garlands are the perfect outdoor feature to create that special feel in your garden.  Choose your favourite one, use your old material cut-offs and create something different that will allow your guests to go:  “Where did you get that?” when they next have tea in your garden.

Table Settings

When setting your dinner table most of us make sure we have matching dishes, knives, forks and the usual role call.  But by adding a little tweak of colour or a touch of detail makes all the difference.

See how this ordinary white setting gets some life with a touch of green.

A coloured glass and this beautiful tablecloth give’s you the feeling of the sunset over the ocean.

Little card with your guest’s name on creates the detail that we all deserve.

Interesting Wall

How different yet amazing is this wall?  As soon as I saw it I had to share it with you all.  It makes a beautiful feature you of an ordinary wall. 

Vintage and my Cleo

I decided to mix my Cleo Droomer’s with a little Vintage.  The belt is my Vintage Woolies belt and Jacket is one I got from my mom, she wore it when she was my age, that’s about 25 years ago.  The cute pooch next to me is Herbie, sweetest pug in the world!

Kings of Leon

How I can kick myself for not going to Kings of Leon in Cape Town, let me count the ways!  Just want everyone who went to know, I officially hate you now.  Hehehe!  Just kidding, I just like you less than normal.

Vintage Favourites

This week’s Vintage favourites have a little touch from the local farm we visited in Wittedrift, Vryheid (Freedom).  I hope you like these as much as I do.

1)  Vintage Cupboard – Reminds me of the cupboard in Narnia

2)  Painting & Frame

3)  Glass Coke bottles and crate – I know you still get these but you they’re not the easiest to find and Coke used to make these before they came out in tins

4)  Assortment of Vintage Crayons

5)  Campbell’s advert from way back in the day – wish I had a Campbell’s bag like that
