World Party Day- A Breakfast Party

Wednesday, March 28, 2012

(8 comments)
World Party Day is coming up on April 3 and I've teamed up with Big Things to help usher in a day that celebrates global unity. And what could be better than celebrating with breakfast! I've always loved the idea of throwing a breakfast party; inviting a few friends over on a Saturday morning for waffles or pancakes. People showing up in their sweats and pj's- there's something so cozy about it. I plan on doing this a lot this coming winter. See more great world party day posts from other bloggers right here.

What I Wish I Were Wearing

This girl is adorable. I spotted her on the Locals and instantly fell in love with her look, so much so that I've recreated it to the right. I also plan on recreating it on my body this winter. Cape Town's winters are kind of perfect- chilly enough to wear layers but not so cold that you want to kill yourself half way through winter (which is how I used to feel when I lived in the States). Can't wait to wear tights!

Life Lately

Friday, March 16, 2012

A few snaps from our life lately. We recently celebrated Andrew's birthday with a staycation in Kalk Bay (it's only about 30 minutes away from us).  We had the best time taking Wills to visit the penguins on Boulder beach, eating out at some of our favorite spots and waking up to this beautiful view two mornings in a row! The Woodstock Foundry had its official launch party as well which was a lot of fun- Andrew did the birds on the side of the building seen below. And lately my morning routine is coffee, coffee, coffee and a piece of banana bread while the baby naps and I try to get some work done. I never used to be much of a coffee drinker but I guess thats what happens when 6am becomes your new 8am. And best of all Wills is 16 weeks old today!

To enter visit her shop and leave a comment letting me know which piece you'd choose if you win along with your email address. And if you don't win- don't fear because in addition to her shop you can also purchase her jewelry online at Need and rumor has it coming soon to Anthropologie!

La Clinica

Perfect examples of the whole "wood and white" thing I was talking about earlier. Man I want that swing for Wills!


La Clinica is a collection of handcrafted furniture produced by local artisans based in three different parts of the world: Madrid (Spain), Turin (Italy) and Sao Paulo (Brazil). La Clinica is based on the interaction between young designers and experienced artisans, which combines new ideas with centuries-old know-how. The result is three different collections made from the same design and produced differently according to the local traditions and material resources."
