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!

miss moss revised

reworked the moss daily essentials

much better :), felt i did the collection justice

trying to stay afloat :) haven't been this busy since two thousand and three

perfume. current and almost all time favourite: viktor + rolf flowerbomb

twitter. cripes, i love it. such a great way to engage with and meet new people. my bag. where else would i keep my almost make-up, ipod, perfume and... beer? no i don't carry around beer. yet.

the internet & blogs. i don't remember a time before them. oh right, magazines! well, pretty pictures keep me sane.

music. not a day goes by that my ipod doesn't get man handled. or rather, diana handled. currently listening to a lot of arcade fire and sharon jones & the dap-kings.

jeans. i wish i could say dresses...but no, it's jeans. i live in jeans.

a cup of tea. made exactly like so. a cold beer. om nom nom... sweet, sweet brew

almost makeup. moisturiser slash foundation from clinique - because my skin is not perfect.

a walk. be it to and from work or in a forest or field somewhere. if i don't do it, i feel it.

my watch. it needs to be on my wrist at all times, because i feel weird without it. i also like being prompt.

coco's face. this look kills me *kisses * ‚‚‚
