Hong Kong (Dubai) Harare
We are on our biggest travel adventure to date, with my boys in an exotic city, new to us all- we knew it was time and we needed a change in culture to unlock our senses.
Airports, travelators, trains, busses, trams, boats, ferries, cable cars, the boys have been on more modes of transport than I think they can comprehend.

The feeling I have when I’m in Paris, walking, seeing, more walking and everything with a layer of the orient.
We emerged ourselves and the boys into every aspect that we could. We walked, saw, ate and we loved, with me, we tracked our step counts, stopped on the pavements for street food, used our maps and had “getting lost moments”, we planned our days, looked for little side ally food stops, had filled water bottles and held hands through crazy markets selling snakes, birds and balms.

More than anything I did not expect how much I have loved traveling with my kids. To see the world through their eyes has been the hugest gift and, truthfully, one I had not fully comprehended. To see them soak in and then re-tell their ideas and understandings of if, has been my most cherished gift.

To understand better the life my sister has set up in this incredible city has left me so proud, inspired and humbled. Some of my best moments were doing things that were “part of her day”… she opened a world to my boys, and in that, has given them a gift few aunts can give, proving agin, that, distance is what you make of it and family is everything.
A few snaps from hundreds.

Finishes… and finished. The end of another year. A testing one, health, healing and heart. Knowing that the one is what wealth is, the other is a journey, and the last is what needs to, always, be followed.
A year of design, drawings, dreams… discussions, more drawings, building, delivering. Working on the homes that I work on, is one of my most sacred things.
Always, and, only with my family, my boys, as my compass and my sanctuary.
A good year.

I don’t think I’ve ever felt more aligned with a Pantone announcement. My favourite tones, to dress, to finish, for longevity.

There’s something so comforting about the timeless elegance of neutrals and earth tones—cashmeres, coffee, ivory, sands… Mochas and earth. This year, the chosen color feels like it embodies all of that, a perfect harmony with the finishes and tones of our beautiful continent. It’s a color that feels “meant to be”. So here, an ode to what 2025 holds for colorways.

And paired with this hue, the scent of Swartland by Rekindle—a perfect complement to a palette of mocha and cashmeres, sands and dusty earthy tones. It’s one of my favorites, but truly, every scent ReKindle creates captures the essence of what Pantone’s color for 2025 is meant to evoke: warmth, luxury, authenticity, and a celebration of the natural. A true indulgence in the simple pleasures and depth of life.

Palettes, scents, candles and today (it was raining and a Friday).

December 1st, and she is up. Every year, somehow, it becomes more special that she is, that we are here. At this point.
My sister and I have a tradition that we help each other decorate our trees, decorations between the three of us, sisters, have become stories, reflections, so happy, achingly nostalgic, sometimes… it’s all I want for my boys one day… this continuation, deep traditions, memories encapsulated in baubles.
This year, I found candles, and they have been the best lights I’ve ever owned, I’m so impressed by them. I found them with Christo, we had a careful debate about them and the choice of one decoration item to represent this year… and so, slowly, we build these memories together.

Happy Halloween 2024.
Always that “mad” time of year… and each year, we pause, walk up and down the road… community, magic, memories. Each year a little different, a little bigger, a little wiser. The efforts are the memories, and the moment js the magic.
A fox, an icon, Buzz and Pamela, with our “Dog-ula”, and it’s perfect. 🎃

A view from the top. Sparkle covered pants for a night with my boys and my sister and my beautiful niece… because, like we all know, life is short… wear the glitter.
I have memory outfits… I think we all do… just like a taste or a smell, I remember what I wore. This was a really simple night… it was a “for the kids” night (like most) , and I know deep down, they will remember these things and details as much as the big moments. And thats all that matters. My mom used to make us wear smocks that she had made, and matching ribbon slides that she had made too…”Elephante” shoes and socks to “the Nico”… I really, really remember those dresses… shifting through the isle and ladies commenting on her smocking work, and me, 4-6 years old (or so) feeling so proud … I think of her every time I go to the theatre, and these little things she instilled in us. The decorum, and, sparkle and the memories with “their outfits”.

Lights, Cameras, coffee.
Before the day starts, sometimes I get to do this… and I love it. The energy is great, the various people on set are great (musicians/ entrepreneurs/ magicians/ babies/ storytellers) so many different things, people, journeys- all with an underlying thread of SA positivity, I rarely don’t start my day well after I’ve been on set, the people who make this show possible are committed, creative and inspired, and, to sometimes feel this energy, is a privilege.
The best is when my boys view my early morning. It’s the most special thing. All of it.

The last few hours, after the work day, of the last day of holidays and what feels like is starting to be the first days of summer. This holiday has been complex. Work, weather, life, but here, on this little tip of the continent I feel very greatful for this place, these people, health, heart and simple happiness 🤍
