Vanilla Shine

Soft vanilla shimmer over a musky black, deep and tinged with the astringency of History.

Special T

I love innovation and cool gadgets but somehow I think I'll love this Ad more than I'll like the product it's selling! Totally love the visuals... all natural, mythical and elegant, only to be ruined by someone plonking this almighty ugly instant tea maker in at the end! (cue the record scratch and serene music comes to an abrupt halt). Worth watching though.

Local Teacups!

I saw a flyer for  Teacups last year here in Auckland and forgot to look them up... and after watching the Kimbra video posted below they showed up as further watching... Yes, Found! I'm so happy, I love their music and would you believe it there's more hand clapping goodness! **claps hands like an excited 4 year old**  visit/ teawithfriends

Settle Down

I'm just loving the whole hand clapping thing in music right now! (re magic-touch from last month) This is just so brilliantly brilliant & quirky it made me smile humungous smiles.

Bombay Bicycle Club

Reminds me oh so sweetly of the meadows in Edinburgh during those divine summer months. It also reminds me of a canadian girl who introduced me to lapsang souchong in one of those lazy summers in the meadows. Oh nostalgia!
