Madamde Shou Shou - Greek bikinis and much more

 

 

 

 

Today a friend of mine, during lunch, mentioned Madame Shou Shou...she didn't remember where the stylist behind the brand is from but she simply said: "go on internet and take a look at Madame Shou Shou bikinis...they are stunning"...well, she was right, wasn't she?

Madame Shou Shou is designed by Elina Kordali, a Greek stylist.... There is no webiste but only a FB page...Bikinis and clothhes are on sale in a number of shops in Greece and only in 3 in Italy...but definitely I want to know more!!

Block Shop - hand printed scarves

I found out a nice blog run by an American living in Cape Town. She posted a link to these scarves and I find them beautiful. The brand is Block Shop which is an Indian textile company founded by sisters Lily and Hopie Stockman. They work with the Chhipa family of master printers based in Bagru, India, who have been hand block printing with natural dyes for over 350 years.Their textiles are printed one at a time with hand-carved wooden blocks and non-toxic natural dyes on the finest Indian silk-cotton blend.
How beautiful are they? http://www.blockshoptextiles.com/pages/about

Hanging gardens - Opus Studio from Cape Town

I feel the spring coming....and I would love to have a hanging garden in my apartment.
I find these plants and arrangements by Opus Studio in Cape Town really amazing. I wonder how difficult it is to keep a "hanging garden" like this. The interesting thing is that each plant needs a different amount of water, ventilation and sun...but I would love to give a try..

Etsy treasure hunting

Searching on ETSY for vintage mugs and trays, I have found the adorable things you can see below!
I wonder why I have become so obsessed with vintage...definitely I love the fact that vintage things have been pre-loved and pre-used, they have a story and above all they are unique!!!
