British.

I've been in London about a month now and I don't know if it's the fact that I started grumbling a few days ago when the sun didn't shine for a consecutive 5th day or that I just put my umbrella in my bag without even thinking about it - but I now consider myself fully-British. ha. Along with my new British-ism I have been really been feeling the urge to find of these union jack type pillows - aren't they awesome? Yes, they are.

This one above is found on the slater sparkle site. (Dog not included).

This link is actually to a DIY tutorial of making the union-jack chest of drawers ( here ) I do love the muted tones pillow on top of the drawers though...

This is also another tutorial for the stencil pillow found here. But look how well it goes with the union jack one behind it. Gotta get my paws on one of these!

There are also a few etsy listing's for shabby chic union jack type pillows. This one is from Lizzie Sherwood. Her pillows are so pretty - but I think I prefer the plain coloured ones.

Here is also a Denim union jack pillow from Cat Carousel - also on Etsy.

rooms

My Pinterest stream is often filled with random beautiful interiors. Honestly I could sit on the internet for hours looking at the insides of pretty homes. (oh, wait, I do do that). A new South African based interiors website called 5 Rooms has just launched and Oh look! I mashed up my own  room -



You can find all these lovely things on the 5 Rooms site -
Chelsea Coffee Table Square  * Fiesta Armchair in Ivory * Lace Chair in White *  Fundi 2 Groove Table lamp * And the wallpaper hack-up courtesy of Zoffany and Schumacher. sigh.

I've also been loving black and white interiors with bright pops of colour. The pic below is styled by Angus Fergusson. I love how clean and neat it looks -


Wouldn't it be awesome with a little pop of colour like one of these shelving gizmos from Dark Horse:

How fab is that shelving gadget? 

You don't even need books to make it awesome.

Kapas

Kapas is a company started by Kerryn Tremearne, an old school friend of mine - "Kapas" is the Hindu word for cotton and the company imports gorgeous Indian cottons to make cushions and headscarves and their line is continuously growing... You can find Kapas goods at the i heart market in Durban and at selected decor stores.

I recently did an interview over at Kerryn's Blog - check it out here.
