Nice laptop stand

I found this article over at Trend Hunter and think that this is such a cool idea and way of using old material. Still not to sure about all the details, but looks pretty easy to figure out…

Beauty in Buenos

This might have something to do with the fact that my boyfriend and I are going to Buenos Aires in June (yes!), but non the less this is a stunning site and I thought it fit to share with my friends.

On the Corner is a site run by what I can only assume is a local who loves fashion and photography. Unfortunately I do not understand Spanish (although I am working on it) and so I am not able to read more about the person behind the blog. However, this person clearly has a awesome style and although similar to Sartorialist, it has a unique South American style.

Enjoy! (I’m sure up until June, and for a while thereafter, my blog will be filled with all things pretty from Buenos Aires)

Pretty streets

Think I’ve just officially found my favourite street artist/ photographer: Katie Sokoler. She’s a freelance artist from Brooklyn and has been doing the most amazing things around New York. I’ve attached some pictures of one of her latest projects. She decided to put up paper eyes around the streets of New York, saying: “It’s cute to look at an object and to see it looking back at me!”

To view more of her amazing work click here. You won’t be disappointed. She also did an incredible speech bubble project and take photos for the well-know improve everywhere movement.

Would love to see her stuff in real life!

Die mooiste tee koppies

I grew up drinking tea every single day, and although I have now grown out of that habit a bit I still enjoy a cup of tea every once in a while. I love the culture of drinking tea and stumbled upon this over at Trend Hunter.

I would do anything to get my hands on the heart shaped ones. Having pretty tea cups make the tea drinking experience so much more worth while.

Mooiste Vespa

I love the site PSFK . I always find the most interesting things on there and read about things that I have never seen or heard about before.

I came across this unbelievably pretty handcrafted Vespa. It’s amazing to think this was done by hand. To read more about the hands behind the Vespa click here.

All I know is that I would love to have one! Plus my dad would probably kill for one as well….wrrrrroooommm

Lego now a days

I don’t know when anyone last saw what Lego is up so I thought that I would have a look. Sadly its filled with Starwars and fighting sets, but amongst them I was happy to find the Sponge Bob Square pants set and the BELVILLE set.

I found the Belville one really funny as it seems like someone from OUR belville suburb designed that set. It’s very pretty though and makes me realise that I still really want to go to Lego land one day-how ever bad that might sound to anyone.

Its also crazy to see how the Lego website functions at the moment, there are so many things to do and games you can download as well as play Lego online. Times sure have changed and I’m actually happy that I only had one type of Lego to play with, the plain set with just normal yellow men with black eyes. Two of them.

Have a look at the site to see how  things have progressed……little bit crazy.

The First Pretty One

So I’ve literally had this blog for almost a year now, and my poor little blog only gets its first post today, 21 Janaury 2009. I have always liked the number 21, so maybe it was meant to be.

Although its mostly to do with the fact that I never really had anything to blog about until today. I’ve decided to dedicate this blog to everything that I find pretty. Which will most probably be toys most of the time.

It’s just going to be a platform where I will share things that I find on the internet or maybe elsewhere.

I found an incredible site today Paper Critters while going through the Pixel Awards winners of 2008. Paper Critters were the student award winner and in my opinion I can see why. You can create your own paper toys online and preview them…this is mine. If you see it in black it suppose to be bright pink(my only complaint with regards to the site). However, I loved it and can’t wait to print it out. I’ve also put mine in the colony where it will hang out with other critters and where I get the chance to see more of the 30 000 critters designed already. I love it!

Happy playing!
