What do Sherlock Holmes and Nancy Drew have in common...

In case you didn't get the answer, it was that they solved things.

Which is what the Elle Decor Solve competition ,in association with Pick n Pay, is all about. With my evenings free, I thought what better way to fill my time than to immerse myself in more work (gotta keep yourself busy). I didn't enter last year due to the demands of Btech, but that's definitely not the case this time around. I've had a few concepts floating around in my mind but nothing of solid value just yet. I'm also going to be teaming up with my work colleague and flatmate to make the project that much more awesome.

Heres to a long weekend of design, food, friends and family. Oh and all the Easter stuff too!

Saluting Cape Town for Design Capital 2014...

What are you doing to make Cape Town the best Design Capital the world has seen to date?

All day long you'l have good luck...

I wouldn't regard myself as a regular reader of Miss Milli B's blog, http://missmillib.blogspot.com/, but I browsed through it yesterday when I should have been working and decided to just enter one of her competitions. I never really thought I would win. I'v never won anything. Except an Anastacia Barbie when I was 10, but thats besides the point.

So this morning I got an email informing me that im part of the "Winners Circle". It feels good to say that, and that I will be attending the ever so crazy party being held at Puma Social Club on Friday night.

So, if anybody is reading this, join me and my people for a night of frivolous fun.

JOBurg...

As the name suggests it all, I'm back at work, and as great as it is ( I love my team and my job..seriously)...I already feel like I need a  holiday. Lucky for me, this weekend is a long one, as is the one following. I definitely have plans to A) do absolutely nothing or B) take a trip to Kaapsche Hoop and do nothing there.

Apologies to the left, apologies to the right....

So now that im officially back to work I find myself  having less time to work on posts. Now I know thats not an excuse because there are the evenings and weekends...but Im finding myself trying to relax and do as little as possible away from work. Dont get me wrong, I actually love my job and the team im working with ,which is more than what most people can say about their day jobs.

What im really getting to is that I vow to update all posts on what went down at the Design Indaba as well as the Southern Guild Heavy Metal exhibition. And thats a promise... 

Sneaky peaky...

So for all of those who didn't have the opportunity to go to the Design Indaba in Cape Town...do not fear! I came ready with camera in hand and eagerly taking notes in my Moleskine (which I actually lost in Cape Town over a year ago). This was my first ever Design Indaba and most certainly not my last. I picked up on a few trends circulating the floor as well as in and around Cape Town during my stay.

This post is however only a sneak peak at what I saw at the expo. I thought what better way to kill some time whilst waiting for my flight back to Joburg than to write a quick post to make the flight back that much more bearable.
