Ice Cream

On this extremely hot day in our beautiful small town of Knysna ice cream is the only thing that would make you cool off is some ice cream.  Elle decoration experimented with these cute fake ice creams in our mother city of Cape Town and I thought I’d share these with you.   Ice cream ceramic pieces by Sootcookie Ceramic’s are available at The Fringe Arts.

Summer Time & Checkers

How cute is this checkers board, it’s something really simple you can make at home.  I think this will be my next DIY project.  All you need is some material, tons of bottle tops & a pot of material paint.

My new favourite colour

GOLD!

Fishtail

My absolute new favourite braiding method is definitely the fishtail braid.  Still can’t find one decent hairdresser to get this done for me, strange don’t you think?

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.

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.
