Welcome to my Blog of all things lovely, sparkly and beautiful!
I am a young graphic designer working in the world of digital marketing in the sunny village of Umhlanga rocks South Africa.
I have such a passion for print and colour especially in textiles and stationary design. Through my quest to open my own design studio and shop I would like to share my passion for all things lovely with you and show the beauty of design, typography, prints and patterns! I am also a baking fairy and a lover of coffee shops and bakeries which I love trying out and enjoying the small little wanders life brings us everyday...

Something I have learnt this year is that being in your early 20s is not easy...This year has definitely thrown me into a spiral of emotions. I have recently gone through a traumatic breakup, questioned my career daily and spent
the last few months completely unsure about the person I am and have been over the past 4 years of my life. Young relationships and first loves are a treasured experience yet they can also be seen as years wasted as I have come to discover that I do not know who I am anymore nor do I know what it will take to fulfil me. Guys certainly make life a lot more fun and interesting, but they are not the be all, end all to a girls life. It is vital to learn how to function well without being in a relationship during your 20s , At 23 I feel as though I am starting from the beginning again and trying to find my feet.

Prints, Prints, Prints!
Hooray for textile designers incorporating fun bright colours into their designs.
I find a lot of designers going towards the "environmentally friendly" look and keeping things "green", which to me has become stale and bland! I want to see polka dots, stripes, stars and novelty prints in funky colours and styles. Definitely go check out Lou Harvey's amazing range of fun colours and bag designs, I am such an admirer of hers!

Coffee Time!
I love starting my day with a cappuccino in hand, and I am a real picky coffee
drinker as I like mine very foamy and smooth! Coffee shops are a big treat for me,
I love discovering a new fun place to have breakfast, sit back and relax for the whole morning on a weekend. My favourite place to visit before work is of course Vovo telo in
Umhlanga village. The staff are friendly, the atmosphere is fun and happy and their cappuccinos are amazingly delish! I have to admit I am a bit of a Vovo telo addict..

Totes!
I am a real Tote bag fan! I love the simplicity of a simple over the shoulder cotton
tote that can be funned up with some glitter polka dots, a cute print or illustration!
I have started working on some designs to print onto Cotton tote bags for my future market business I am planning on opening. This is an example of my work and what
more may be to come...
