S.O.S.

Can there be anything worse than arriving at an airport and being told (with a sense of relish) that your plane is leaving from a different airport altogether? This happened to me on Sunday at the crack of dawn. And to add insult to injury, the man behind the counter, upon looking at my ID photograph, snidely remarked on my penchant for red lipstick. Furthermore, all further flights were fully booked. There were no rental cars either thanks to the African Cup of Nations. Thank goodness for friends, who responded at the drop of a trilby to our SOS. Mia Widlake, from No. 19, and family not only fetched us but fed us a spectacular meal in their exquisite Johannesburg home. I snapped a few pics... which would never do justice to the absolute styling genius that is my partner in Brimfield (and any other shopping) crime...

Two Mantels

I love the sheer whimsy of the objects on these mantlepieces — unrelated and oddly juxtaposed.  The renovation of this 1870's Red Hook (Brooklyn) home belonging to painter, Todd Bonné and lifestyle photographer, Alexandra Grablewski is painstakingly documented on The Little House That Could. Makes for great reading and fortitude for those who are attempting a giant restoration, as well as a glimpse into the destruction caused by Hurricane Sandy...

Can't resist the perennial ode to the styling genius of Alex MacArthur...

Frustration

In the chaos that is the nature of unpacking (epic move), I seem to have misplaced the tiniest of things, yet essential to survival (or sanity at least). I cannot find the camera chord, or battery charger. Scissors have sprouted legs or appear particularly talented at disappearing into the endless abyss of wrapping paper. However, headway is being made. 50-something boxes have been disposed of in the last three days, all sorted through during the Wimbledon Tennis finals. In the meantime - until I find that wretched chord - here are some placeholder images...
