Pink Prettiness

We have all been longing for spring which has finally arrived – interspersed with the odd rain storm but hey we would not expect anything less in Cape Town!

I was doing a bit of pinning{which I am slightly addicted to} and found these gorgeous images of very pretty pink flowers – as you may know I LOVE pink!!! I especially love the unique arrangement of some of these displays and the op-art containers used as vases. I thought it would be great to share these and give you ideas for your own home – a bit of “floral inspiration”!

Typo Cavendish Square

While in Cavendish Square on Saturday, buying a new printer, my girls and I happened upon Typo, a new rather exciting addition to the centre, enough to make “Mr” breakout into a cold sweat! Typo is an amazing treasure trove of awesome goodies, I could spend hours there but we did not have too much time on Saturday but we still manged to come away with the gorgeous decor goodies above! My girls are redecorating their bedrooms and fell in love with the beautiful canvasses they had on display, they each picked one but I think we will be back for more. We also found great scatter cushions for their rooms and the best thing of all was the price and the sales assistant even threw in a funky water bottle for free! {That’s mine! 🙂 }

Typo has gorgeous stationary all colour coordinated, beautiful lap top covers and myriad of other knick-knacky bits. As I said we did not have much time, so a second visit is definitely in order! The store is on the 1st floor in Cavendish, next door to Timberland and they also have a store in Canal Walk, so if you have not been yet do yourself a favour and get there!

We Heart This

I love nothing more than finding beautiful treasures and filling my closet and home with them. I find that a bit of retail therapy is always good for the soul – maybe not the bank balance but c’est la vie! Making retail therapy even more accessible are the amazing on-line shops that are becoming rather popular in South Africa at the moment.

A recent, on-line discovery of mine, is newcomer, We Heart This. We Heart This is an online treasure trove of beautifully crafted, handmade & locally designed items, selected personally by owners Megan Kenney & Debbie Reabow. Their unsuccessful search for beautiful products available on the web, led them to start their own on-line store, combing South Africa & surrounding areas for unique items that they would love to own themselves.

We hope to create a store that is easy to use and exciting to shop in. ~ We Heart This

All locally inspired, designed and made, We Heart This stocks items from over 30 talented suppliers – their aim being to showcase the best of South African design and gifting. You will find beautifully hand-crafted jewellery, stunning home-ware items and luxurious body treats to name but a few gems available on their site. Your purchases will be packed with love and shipped direct to your door.

So if you need a bit of retail therapy or are in search of the perfect gift, it is all just a click away! Pop over to We Heart This and discover their amazing array of gorgeous goodies.

Closet Envy

Ahhh a girl can dream! This is my dose of Closet Envy – I love these walk-in closets, the decor is stunning, I especially love the use of a chandelier for lighting! Having an oversized ornate mirror is a must and a grandiose, vintage wing-back chair would complete the look nicely.
