You and Me, The Royal We is a product line conceived of and created by 3 studio mates in Brooklyn, New York: Oliver Jeffers, Mac Premo and Aaron Ruff.
Oliver Jeffers’ “world domination map”
the Royal We’s product line is based on a simple concept: when Oliver, Mac or Aaron thinks of a product that would be cool but doesn’t exist yet, they figure out how to make it.
i also LOVE their pencils…

…in fact, if i could be the person who invents the outlandish and avant-garde names assigned to paint colours or shades of lipstick, i would be one happy creature! so i have decided to do the odd post dedicated to unsual colour names i have thought up.

HAPPY SHOE red

if Freedom Cafe were a person, it would be barefoot in a hammock with a black daschund on its lap, swinging on the deck of an industrial-style cruise-liner…such is the laid-back-yet-edgy decor & menu at Freedom Cafe at The Concierge Hotel in Durban (tucked away behind Bean Bag Bohemia in Campbell Road)
