Me & The Zebra Man

The silly season is here & there's only 10 more chocolate coins on the advent calendar until I finish work for 2 weeks. It's a time for eating, drinking, sun & fun times. Yay.

* The Awesome World of Advertising comic strips

* Very funny IG account making fun of how some girls post

* One of the funniest people out there at the moment for me : Louis CK and if his quotes were motivational posters

* Need to make one of these for the Squish this holiday

Pin hole Bijou

What a fab week. Super sociable, Warren exhibited some pieces at #openstudios, Squish had her 1st go at surfboarding and I had some great support from my pop-up Lula by Emma sale at work. There was also some fun things whizzing around the internet :

* A load of Hot Air 99 Red Balloons

* Insect byproducts used to create sculptural objects

* Wonderful installation highlighting the need of a basic vessel to be able to drink from by Hennie Meyer, Ukesela aKapa (and I was lucky enough to be given one last Wed @ Alex Hamiltons #MegaMashUp2 hooray!)

* Beautifully produced video game 'Lumino City'

* Celebrities reading mean tweets about themselves. Wa ha ha

* New favourite series The Knick. Loved it.

* There's a secret apartment in the Eiffel Tower??

* I'm feeling like I should have planned better for 1 Dec and organised a Gin Advent Calendar

LOVE this unicorn ring

The madness of Kamers is over & life is starting to return to normal, including our Tuesday sessions which are happily, back on! I personally had no homework last week (we were busy planning a unicorn party for which this ring would have been perfect for) but there were a couple of goodies that I had to include plus some new ones for this week.

 * The Hot-Crazy Matrix - a mans guide to women. So wrong, but kind of right too!

* How to climb the 2nd tallest building in the world Shanghai Tower. Yikes

* The Caseys : Advertising Case Study Videos get their own Award Show.

* Stop looking at your phones. The ridiculous habit that I know I'm guilty of

* Skateboards re purposed

* Warren still laughs at some of the things I come out with. Here's a few truly British idioms

* Johnny Depp gets tipsy at Awards Show

Let the silly season begin ♥

Show & Tell

* Whooooaaa a hoverboard!

* Imagine a world with an enormous Spinosuarus in it.

* What a road trip

* For those near Cape Town next week, Kamers is not to be missed

* What a crazy story of a husband claiming to be the artist that was actually his wife

* This week I died my hair pink. A fluorescent highlighter kind of pink. It's a bit out there, but not quite in this category of hair-don'ts

* A cool mobile-washing-van idea to help the homeless

* This is pretty awesome God Only Knows to celebrate the launch  of BBC Music

Going Batty for Halloween

The baby bat

Screamed out in fright,

"Turn on the dark,

I'm afraid of the light."

Back in 2012 when Squish had just started at nursery school, there was a dress-up day. All the other children arrived dressed like butterflies, fairies, tigers & firemen, but for some reason I had the urge to make a bat costume.

She looked super cute!

The bat top then came in handy the following Halloween, & when her little best friend saw it, she wanted one too, so I whipped another black-winged top up immediately.

They love them, to the extent that they are often worn to parties, for baking or just a trip to the shops. And because they are made from stretchy jersey fabric, they are super practical & still fit 2 years later!

And then I noticed during one of my IG surfs that BangBang Copenhagen (a seriously amazing & creative Danish brand that I frequently droll over) had included a similar item in their 2014 collection in the form of a hoodie - I was obviously on to a good thing!!

And with that, I decided to expand the bat love beyond Lula & her friends and give other aspiring bats to have one of these cool outfits.

Fun. Creative. Comfortable.

Emily ♥

When Sue told us over lunch that she was pregnant, it was the best news EVER. There were tears of joy & all sorts of loud cheers & woop woops ringing around the Turkish cafe we had met at.

Emily is truly precious in every possible way & chose incredible parents to journey through life with.

Our morning photo shoot turned in to a spontaneous lunch, some Ukulele lessons for Squish & a blustery afternoon walk to the beachfront with their family dog Kai.

Thanks so much for sharing this special day with us Brad & Sue.

It was a near impossible task to choose just a few pics of this little angel, but here we go

♥
