Pascal - Paper Skies

This is the PERFECT song to start the weekend. Oh... and its South African ;)

Ready for the Weekend!

We live in a beautiful country and I am not sure if there is anyone out there who is more 'proudly South African' than I am (although... us South Africans are known to be pretty patriotic...) so when I saw this really epic music video I knew I had to share it.

Besides the really cute story, good music, occasional pun (look out for the trunk in a trunk) and great cinematography (is that what they call it... even for a music video?) a lot of the video is shot in SA! Yay for us :D enjoy the weekend!

Hooray for Friday

I am a big fan of Fridays. They mark the end of a usually very long and busy week and the start of a (hopefully) relaxed and fun weekend with all the people I love. I found this short and sweet Ode to Friday here and wanted to share it :)

Oh, Friday, Glorious Friday
If I may
I’d like to say,
Come sooner next time, m’kay?

That is it! Short and sweet - just like the weekend :( unfortunately. But for now we can be happy it is Friday! Woohoo!

Pretty Hair

Who doesn't love a pretty bun, a plaited/braided do or lots of wispy curls pinned up into a swirl (is that even a word)?

A Cup of Jo has the best DIY hair tutorials. Here are some of my favourites:

Pretzel Braid
Gibson Roll (totally thinking about rocking this style at V's wedding (yes- V is getting married!) on Sunday)
Chestnut Bun
Braided Crown (and add a little something extra with some fabric)
Braided Top Bun
Three Twisted Buns
Side Chignon (she has the best hair colour!)

Brilliant Idea

Run out of places to put your pretty jewelery? Need space to display a few quirky odds and ends? Or just have on old (and awesome) tennis racquet lying around? Why not hang it up and put it to good use like Maike (of love made me do it and we love pictures).
