A Mid Century Modern Maisonette

6/16/2015

 
This immaculate home is owned by Vija & Greg Rhodes. I'm a minimalist by nature so this home really appealed to me. Their refined taste and impeccable quality is subtle and it's character are all in the details for example; the old church pew, the African pummeling bowl in the bathroom, the haberdasher's cabinet in the kitchen, the chapel chairs found at an antique market and the dining table from France found years ago by Vija's father. Inspired much? I'm completely smitten!

Ikire Jones

6/12/2015

 
Ikire Jones caught my eye on tumblr. Feast your eyes on their F/W 2014 look book which is all kinds of hot! Their garments are all hand made in Philadelphia and what I love is that each item they make has a story to tell. It's not meaningless but has depth which is thoroughly appealing. 

"Ikiré Jones is a Menswear company that marries African aesthetics with Neapolitan tailoring. In an era where caricatures parade the streets like Emperors in New Clothes, we pride ourselves on offering a new perspective through an old lens; a new dialect for an old tongue; and an irreverent approach that twists the portrait askew while paying homage to the most classic of canvases---the suit."

Samuji Fall 2015

6/7/2015

 
It's pretty cold in Cape Town at the moment and this morning, much to my delight, I looked at Samuji's Fall 2015 collection. It is my DREAM wardrobe for this mercurial weather. Designer, Sami-Jussi Koski was inspired by Finnish poet, Marja-Liisa Vartio. I like the voluminous silhouettes and the boxy outerwear, which is right up my sweet alley.
