“I am constantly in awe of the incredible women who grace our Women in BLOOM conversations. So generous with their time, their stories, their experiences and their wisdom. What a privilege it is to sit across from them and learn a little more about who they are.
Swipe left for more beautiful moments from our latest gathering, featuring the lovely Desiree, and some of the wonderful faces that make up our BLOOM community. 🌸
The women (and men!) who continue to show up, listen, engage and make these gatherings so special. Every edition is another reminder of just how special this little thing we’ve built is. Look at me, gushing! 🥹
Thank you, Desiree, and thank you to everyone who continues to show up for Women in BLOOM. My heart is full.”

Design Week shenanigans had me like…
Me enjoying a much needed pit stop at what appears to be an amazing chair at @_bckrds_. inspired by the LC4 Chaise Longue arguably one of the most iconic pieces of modernist furniture. The chaise was designed in 1928 by Charlotte Perriand, a pioneering French designer who entered the male-dominated world of architecture and furniture design at a time when women’s contributions were frequently overlooked. Her work challenged prevailing ideas about domestic life, arguing for furniture that responded to the human body and the realities of modern living, rather than traditional notions of status and decoration.
The LC4 was conceived as a machine à repos, a machine for resting. Its curved steel frame and adjustable reclining position were designed to accommodate the body in different states of relaxation. It was a radical proposition for its time which was that comfort, leisure and the simple act of doing nothing were worthy of serious design consideration.
First exhibited in Paris in 1929, the chair was initially too avant-garde to find widespread commercial success. Today, it is considered one of the defining furniture designs of the 20th century.
I have no idea whether the one I’m lying on is an original Cassina or a reproduction, but almost a century later, it’s doing precisely what it was designed to do. And doing it beautifully.
From Pinterest Board to Business Strategy.
A lovely morning at Design Week South Africa exploring how taste is formed, how we develop our own visual language, and how personal inspiration translates into creative direction, brand identity and commercial value.
Such a pleasure sharing the conversation with Eoin Carrigan of Pinterest and Vicky Ross of Antidcks and 44 Stanley, beautifully moderated by Simone Schultz.
Thank you @designweeksouthafrica for having us!
Allow me to reintroduce myself…
Part of my response, not captured here, was about what has made my business unique. For the longest time, our USP was the beauty and thoughtfulness of our creative assets and events.
For me, tastemaking is a lifelong pursuit. Learning about good design, cultivating an eye and practising discernment ar

What does it mean to build a legacy with intention?
For @nandi.dlepu , heritage begins with family. From beach picnics and Friday dinners to the family she is building with her son, ritual has always been a way of staying connected, and a reminder that family is something we actively nurture.
Now, as the founder of @mamakashaka, Nandi is thinking about legacy beyond the present: building sustainable businesses, supporting the people around her, and creating a future where what she leaves behind can empower the generations that follow.
“I think there is no better gift for a family’s bloodline and lineage than investing in it emotionally, mentally, and financially.”

A weekend of culture, beauty and complexity. Murray on Saturday, Ndabo on Sunday. Both beautiful, neither easily digestible. Strong sense of even though I didn’t do a lot, it definitely felt like I consumed a lot.

While the JHB weather decides what season it would like to be in, here’s an accommodating summer dress from a fav.
Long sleeve: @sash_southafrica
Gathered dress: @sash_southafrica
Sneakers: Nike P-6000
Socks: Nike Everyday sock - I feel the need to say this, the brand of sock should never be in opposition with the brand of the sneaker!!!! 😂 but each to their own I guess.

I thoroughly enjoyed this year’s Joburg Art Fair, but a much smaller moment ended up being one of my favourite experiences of the weekend: the art walkabout at Lotus House.
After the scale and energy of the fair, there was something so lovely about experiencing art in a more intimate setting and in conversation with the architecture of a house (in this case, its mild Japanese influences) the selection of furniture and objects, as well as the various VIVIERS garments.
I loved seeing how each work was considered, not just on the wall, but within the room it lived in. Such a warm and intimate way to experience art, and a beautiful full stop to what was an incredibly artful weekend for me.
Thank you to Lezanne and @viviers.studio for having me
