Happy Friday! Here's a fun post to celebrate the coming of the weekend. Backbone Branding design studio from Armenia created a coffee cup with some serious personality. They're not only incredibly adorable (and kinda cheeky), they're also customisable allowing the drinker to change the mood of their coffee cup according to how they're feeling that day. Clever? Yes, I think so. Via . . .
Blur of Lights & Colour
I do enjoy living Shanghai. Well, for the most part at least... Just the other week, I tried to catch a taxi on a Friday night (quite a feat) - finally flagged one down and an elderly lady rushed ahead of me. I politely told her that I was actually standing there first, and she looked at me and yelled "but I have children!" and proceeded to slam the door in my face. Just note that her children . . .
A Cocktail in Your Pocket
This is a 100% appropriate post for a Friday evening. It is about cocktails, convenience and awesome vintage design - is it ticking all the boxes for you? Keep reading... Cody Petts created handy kits for classic beverages such as the Old Fashioned and Daiquiri that fit right into your pocket. They each contain the necessary ingredients to prepare the beverage and a little recipe card. . . .
Happy Donut Day!
My favourite kind of day. For those of you who are unaware, it is not just any ordinary Friday...it's National Donut Day today. Celebrate with some sugary goodness if you have a bakery (or kitchen) in close reach - diets be gone. Just for the meantime, here are some donut pictures for you to satisfy those cravings. Some of these are almost too pretty to eat. Almost. via Oh Happy Day! . . .
Stationery Love
Happy Friday all! It's a long weekend over here, so we're all even more excited today (despite the forecast of three days of rain). There has been a tad of a blogging hiatus as I've been away in Tokyo, my new favourite city in the world but more of that later... For now, check out this notebook set by Russ Gray - so beautifully whimsical and perfect for Spring. via Nae Design . . .
Friday Rainbows
This is one rainbow you'd actually want to hear about, especially on a Friday... I think that we've all at one stage wanted to learn the art of bartending - or perhaps I speak for myself. However, one can never look down on a great drink mixologist and the yummy concoctions they come up with. Spotted a pretty awesome device on Firebox that might help with that big life goal. Why mix drinks when . . .
Waffles & Pancakes
Friday night laughs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3E9U3GDrmI 2.24 minutes worth watching. . . .
Their Story
A little something closer to my heart, that I hope will add a pinch of cute to your Friday morning. Just the other night, a close friend of mine proposed. Plenty of thought, loads of love and months of preparation went into this one. The lucky girl was asked to watch a "private screening of the Great Gatsby" at a local cinema but little did she know, this was what she saw . . .
