girls bike out
the girls set off on their first bike outing on friday afternoon amidst a windy disposition and a flurry of unrestrained balloons ( they didn't last long )
we picnicked alongside stadium lawns with tasty sandwiches from ciao bella, san pellegrino wetties and berry topped duetto dolce meringue nests.
nadia brought some bubbles along, perfect for post prandial insufflation.
amelia took some fantastic pictures, nicola snapped from her phone, nadia really had a good time and sarah's take is on its way.
drop me a line to organize your girls bike out.
next event : thursday 15 december. reserve your spot.

to the beach
pre-wedding preparations for the decorations were limited
we decided to wait until the entire family was at jex, a few short days before the wedding.
the powell and mccusker clan descended from the northern hemisphere and northern gauteng respectively.
the idea was to setup teams to do tasks, such as making the pinwheels and signs, so the families could get to know each other better.
we had a hoot of a time.
we tested out some of the ideas in our flat a bit before.
* excuse the barechestedness - it gets superhumid in durban and we have one measly fan. i do like it though :)

the thrift collection
daily essentials by two ladies of epic thrifting proportions
check out their abomination of carefully selected collected attire and accessories at the i heart market
(1) Lomography: Our cameras go everywhere with us – we never know where and when inspiration will strike. We’ve also taken to using our developed pics as greeting cards and gift tags – such a great way to personalise the message.
(2) Cupcakes: Our morning ritual includes a cup of tea, cupcake and trawling through our favourite blogs. Without our daily cupcake, we can’t function properly during the day!
(3) Paper Straws: Summer is our favourite season and with it comes a long list of yummy cocktails & drinks that go perfectly with Durban’s hot, lazy summer days. These sweet paper straws make the whole experience a lot more fun.
(4) Frankie Magazine: Our magazine of choice - every page is filled with beautiful images and interesting people. It’s the only mag we have found that really feeds our love of photography, fashion, art & crafts, music, food and travel. When we get to the end, we start right back at the beginning again – and on and on it goes until the next issue lands in our post box.
(5) Hair Wax: A must have for Meg’s new pixie cut
(6) Eyeliner: We’re loving the eyeliner trend – when you get it right it can look fantastic!
(7) Bunting: A favourite of ours at the moment whether it’s adorning our picture rails at home or stall at the I Heart Market, bunting has become a key design feature in our world.
(8) Appletiser: Nothing quenches our thirst quite like it. Great in cocktails too!
