Anna Turnock Photograhy

One of my lovely friends Anna is a photographer. She recently sent me a link to her new site. Not only does she have a crazy lovely Kiwi accent but her photography is fricken amazing!! It's too damn bad that she lives all the way in New Zealand - Gah! It seems most of my favourite people are from there (Anna, Brett and Jermaine). If she lived here I would hire her for all my famous fabulous events – I plan to have loads when I’m rich- and most definitely for my wedding (some day). Her photography is classic, artistic, feminine (without being too girly) and she really knows how to capture the moment. I love it!!

I love birds - this one is super special (first photograph at the top) - I love the colour, the depth and the way the one little bird is looking at the camera - beautiful! I also LOVE this car! Even though I can only see a small portion, I can already see myself driving into the NZ sunset, what a beauty!!

This is her site

Paper cuts

Paper designs really inspire me. I love how a design is able to jump out of you event though it's photographed. I wish I had the patience and the steady hands to craft something so beautiful. I love the simple look and wish one could capture it on a t-shirt or canvas without it falling apart or looking photographed. I think this artwork should be everywhere... I want items like these hanging in my flat for sure, just wish my flat mate wasn't so picky ;)

Sandwich?

I love these designs - I'd wear a shirt or an apron with these on. You could even make South African versions with Gatsbys and fillings. I gave
this to my sister once...

Pretty Weddings..

I think cupcakes can be so much prettier and more delicate than an actual wedding cake.People can take a cupcake without ruining the elegant look of the feature. You can use different kinds of cakes and even bake your own. Cupcakes also work so nicely for a birthday party or housewarming... I have my housewarming this weekend, I think I'll give it a go. I've already got a recipe for pampoen koekies.

Every girl wants a wedding day - I know I bloody well do. Even if it's just for the party and being able to do beautiful decorations in my own way, kitsch or classical, being careful of being tacky of course.

I think weddings should be classical, timeless (cliche). There is a definite t

rend happening now - whether it be super vintage, or having your own special photo booth in the corner with props, I wonder if this stuff will ever become 'just another tr

end' like getting a tattoo of a bird or a pin up girl... i

n twenty years it will probably be the equivalent of having gotten a Hot Stuff devil or Casper the friendly ghost tattooed on your boob - Gah!

I want a vintage wedding.. don't tell the boyfriend he thinks anything vintage looks like an 'old woman' but isn't that the point. I wanted a 19th century wedding for ages and ages but like I said it's difficult to have this theme without being gimmicky.. I don't want guests to wear tack! Come in class, real gold and authentic attire - I can picture it now...

I love the chalk board in a frame concept and this partners beautifully with fairy lights - My sister used this idea at her 'vintage circus' wedding- it was so affective. You can use soft colours in your scheme and even gold looks pretty without looking too 'Jerseylicious'.. I absolutely love vintage! But isn't it also becoming just a trend? I really hope not, I'm bookmarking the idea.

Boycott PNP... Still wondering

So Interesting..but still undecided about this one.
Human rights but I see PNP's point.... controversial topic! Hectic Comments,
not sure if I'd want to be the author this time around...

Crazy Cookies!

Following a hectic night with only 3 glasses of wine (I can do more) adding to that 3 Dizzy's Karoke songs and you have yourself one tired Quirk intern. My debaucherous karoke, began with a cut off version of Jessica Simpson's "these boots are made for walking"- what the Heck! It sucks donkeys bums! I was even more disappointed when it was stolen from me..but by very forgivable people. But alas, work still comes in leaps and bounds. I've managed to salvage a tea break to start a my first actual blog post since, yes wait for it, June last year! Wow, over a year ago..
Work is so crazy! The people are fab but not shy of handing out lots of stuff. I recently also became a fan of The Daily Maverick Newspaper, my oh my do I feel informed! Its so fab! I'm loving Mandy De Waal!
Still sticking to my Brandseye..without them I would never have discovered such a gem.. Just thinking! Feel like a nice BBC dvd series oooooh! Put my feet up with some sundried tomato chicken and noodles.. finishing off with a big pink bubble bath! Sweet
