Pink + chalk

7 February 2012 /5 Comments/in , /by

Love the idea of using small splashes of pink in the home. And especially love this chalkboard background, the fact that it is on the entire wall, including the pieces hung up, creates a great effect.  Image source

I’ll be back soon…

Things are manic at the moment, to say the least. So this is a quick apology for the lack of posts, but please bear with me while the big move happens. All is well underway and going very smoothly (touch wood). This long weekend will be spent with the family doing plenty of DIY’ing (they […]

Win with rubybox and Diligo

2 February 2012 /0 Comments/in , /by

I had seen a few tweets between Diligo and rubybox, and have since been very excited to hear what all the buzz was about, and it certainly is very cool! You are going to love this Valentine’s Day Style Guide that Diligo and rubybox have done – most definitely worth the wait. The guide has […]

Lighting in the home

30 January 2012 /6 Comments/in , /by

As of tomorrow I have the new keys to my home and a whole new journey begins. One that will incorporate many-a-trip to Builder Warehouse, I’m sure! Firstly I am on the lookout for an out-of-this-world handyman. The men in my life are all looking pretty dismal when it comes to any of the DIY […]

Essie’s Cocktail Bling: Winter

30 January 2012 /3 Comments/in /by

I have just received Essie’s amazing new range for winter 2011 (obviously our winter 2012) and it’s called Cocktail Bling. The colours make me think of a super decadent skiing trip with lots of bling and glamour. So far, I’d have to say that my favourite colours are Cocktail Bling and School of Hard Rocks. […]

Part 2: Solving my mascara quest

27 January 2012 /1 Comment/in , /by

Not sure if this little quest will ever be solved, as such, but at least we have a few ladies opinions and I have been trying and testing flat out to see what is out there. Thanks to all that tweeted/commented/e-mailed and Facebooked me with what mascara you are using – all very helpful in […]

A very late Mulberry S/S post

26 January 2012 /1 Comment/in , /by

I’m very late at sharing this, but sometimes I just don’t get around to things and then think it’s ‘past it’s sell by date’ so leave it out… But everytime I come across these beautiful pics from Mulberry’s Spring/Summer campaign I get happy – they really are so bright and cheery! So, in this instance, […]

My chair dilemma

23 January 2012 /4 Comments/in , , /by

9 more sleeps to go. I don’t think I can explain the excitement of having my own space, and to say goodbye to living out of boxes. Just a small example: I have had a dead battery on my iPad for 2 and a half months because I packed my charger in one of my […]

Happy Friday

20 January 2012 /1 Comment/in , /by

 Happy weekend lovelies… I am off to Betty’s Bay where I plan to make home-made bread, have fish braai’s, lie on the beach, read my book and put my feet up.  As most of you know, I visit this part of the world often and, through a lot of exploring, have found a few real […]

Yesterday I got a message from a friend in Natal who told me that I was in this month’s Cosmo for Top 10 local blogs. What an amazing surprise!  Thank you, again, to everyone for all the support. Make sure you have ‘liked’ the Kiss, Blush and Tell Facebook page as I will be announcing […]
