A Day in Kalk Bay
Kalk Bay is one of our favourite spots near Cape Town. The views, the shops and the food are out of this world. If you get a chance to go, make sure you visit Olympia Cafe and walk along that road. The shops are all small boutiques or eclectic little gypsy-like stores.

Typography is sexy
There’s nothing I love more than beautiful typography. Its the art and technique of arranging type in order to make a language visible and unique.
