Wants and Wishes

I made a little happy dance when I saw that South-African bookstores are also now stocking the design*sponge book. As a design*sponge addict, I cannot wait to have a copy of my own!

...Chanel Chance.

A few days ago I used the last little bit left in my bottle and now I miss smelling like me!

... and black peep-toe shoes.

Oh, how perfect would this Christian Louboutin's be?!

Have you seen The Tree of Life?

If you haven't, please do yourself a favour and go see it. It has the most beautiful imagery I have seen on film...EVER.

A Weekend in Pictures # 7 (Christmas happiness)

This lovely Christmas has been highlighted by lovely catnaps, beautiful lace table decor, piano playing, a Jasmin scented gift, pavlova and spending time with my family and a surprise visit by my gran who lives far away. 

Hope you had a very merry Christmas!

Lately....

....I've been having the blues.

Little sister's Brogues

Agapanthus (also very appropriately called Christmas Chandeliers) on my bedside table.

A growing collection,

a new dress,

...and a porcelain blue gift from Chris's mother.

Dear Santa...

I've been really good this year.
Hope its not too late but here is my Christmas wishlist. I couldnt really think of anything I want because right now I've got everything I need. After some serious thought I came up with three items:

this print,

Bvlgari's Jasmin Noir,

  and a tomato red Moleskin Diary.

The next few days must be kind of crazy for you so good luck and have a merry Christmas.

Love, Truchen

Lately....

....I've been keeping myself busy with ....

...taking a dip in the ocean EVERY day.

(My 26th year has been so insighftul. Not only did I discover that I adore camping but I'm also quite a beach bum too. Never knew!!!)

 Collecting blue vintage crocery (for all those dinner parties I plan to host next year)

Moving house. Living in my beloved Cape Town again is slowly but surely becoming a reality.

Happy holidays!
