Adele has been having a sterling start to 2012 – not only did she walk away from the Grammy awards on Sunday night with an armful of awards but she also is the March 2012 cover girl for Vogue magazine – not an easy feat when the likes of Anna Wintour are in charge (We’ve all seen the Devil Wears Prada!) There were many critics over the choice of Adele including Karl Lagerfeld who felt she would be “too fat”…. but she proves them all wrong in the best possible way – by looking sensational! Love this photo shoot…. Read …  Read More »

A few years back, on my first visit to the Cedarberg, I insisted that we try to find some of the original Bushman paintings which I learnt about in my Art History class in High School. After a VERRRRY long and slow journey along a never-ending dirt road (with a tired toddler, impatient husband and a low-slung GTi mind you) we eventually found the elusive paintings in the Stadsaal caves. And it was so worth it! What a find, and what a feeling to know that thousands of years before us a fellow family of explorers had made this their …  Read More »

In recent years street photography has exploded, blogs such as The Sartorialist, Garance Dore and Face Hunter have made this form of photography very popular and have become well known photographers in the process. Now it has come to light that one of the pioneer street photographers in America was actually a children’s nanny and housekeeper, living and working in Chicago during the 50s. Recently an unexpected discovery was made of over 100,000 pictures and negatives belonging to Vivian Maier. After spending years collecting dust in a locked storage locker, the work of this unlikely artist has finally been uncovered. …  Read More »

I found this beautiful white lace fashion shoot in Italy via another local blog recently so some of you may have seen it but I couldn’t resist sharing it with you as it is set in one of my favourite places on earth!

The cobblestoned streets lined with quaint shops and overhung with washing lines, the village squares lined with benches of people enjoying various flavours of gelati, the …  Read More »

A few kilometers past Paternoster down a bumpy gravel road you can find Cape Colombine Nature Reserve or as it’s otherwise known – Tietiesbaai! We took a trip there a few years back and the highlight for my son was climbing to the top of this working lighthouse. images: Kathryn Rossiter

Love this beautiful photo shoot of stunning teen siblings – Dakota, 17, and Elle, 13, Fanning – for W Magazine by Mario Sorrenti. During the interview, Elle talks about her relationship with Dakota and how she feels now that the star has gone off to college.’She is a nice older sister. But it’s not like we always get along,’ Elle shared about their typical sibling conflicts but says that she missing Dakota now that they no longer live together. ‘Now that she’s going to college, it’s different. I went into her room in California, and all her clothes were gone! …  Read More »
