Have you seen the hilarious genius that is Portlandia yet? I only recently discovered it, thanks to my former Time Out London boss who had an inkling that I might get a kick out of this clip.

Is anyone celebrating Valentine’s Day today? To be honest, I don’t actually know anyone who’s marking the occasion. I’ve spent the day putting together a mega 5×5 IKEA Expedit book shelf in our kitchen, filling it with all my stuff, and trying to catch my almost-one-year-old son’s urine in a specimen jar. Ahem. Moving along…
I like old-school conversation sweet hearts. I really do. I love the powdery pastel hues, the bleeding red font and the frisky phrases. So I’ve rounded up some clever and rather lovely little things that are inspired by this sentimental sweet. Best of all, you can dig them out and bestow upon your sweetheart at ANY time of the year. Who needs Feb 14?
I know we’re only six weeks into 2012, but surely Rin and Joe’s joyful backyard nuptials take the (rainbow) cake for Wedding of the Year. The Melbourne couple got married in a heartfelt celebration of love on the weekend, and featured the most incredible array of original handmade details. Of course, I would have expected nothing less – after all, the Mum of the Bride is Australia’s Queen of Crafts, Pip Lincolne, of Meet me at Mike‘s fame.
The beautiful day was the result of the most creative of team efforts – head over to Pip’s blog to read all about Rin and Joe’s dream team. I especially adore the old-school cake table, which featured an array of retro children’s cakes from the original Australian Women’s Weekly Children’s Birthday Cake Book, as well as the magnificent rainbow wedding cake (and not just because one of my mates helped make it!).
