It's another Kraftbomb.

It's Kraftbomb's 1st birthday at the end of the month. I'll be there! With or without a stall (fingers crossed with). I hope everyone can spare an hour or two to pop in.

30th of August, 11 to 2pm. Ciao!

The visitor.

I stumbled upon this flickr set when logged into a friends flickr account. The visitor. It's worth a peek I promise.

These shoes.

These shoes. These amazing Kron shoes, can be found in the Kron store, Reykjavik, Iceland. Kron is the shoe store branch of the Kron Kron designers store, another place with amazing stock. We almost bought a pair of the shoes each not knowing the exchange rate, thankfully we checked because they cost a ripe $500NZ each!

I am patiently waiting for these shooties (below) to go on sale.

You can purchase the shoes, tax free, directly from their site.

Iceland is hot.

Iceland was one of my favourite stops so far on this part world trip, the landscape was incredible, the people were lovely and the design there blew us away.

We both ended up taking one of these raven coathanger designed by Ingibjorg Hanna, a graphic designer from the Iceland Academy of the Arts. The coathangers come in two styles, one with the regular hook top and the other with a long wire to be hung from the ceiling. I opted for the long wire like the ones in the picture below.

If you have the chance visit Birkiland (they have the raven hangers too), a site dedicated to Icelandic designers. I've popped some of my favourite designs from the site below but there is so much more. They have a blog too, although it hasn't been updated in awhile! (much like ours!)

Cup hangers by Ragnheidur Ingunn Agustsdottir.

Restore cups and saucers by Bjorg Juto and Anna Thorunn Hauksdottir.

The sealpelt by Vik Prjonsdottir.

We visited the capital, Reykjavik. Thought I'd share some pictures of what we found around the city.

Hope everyone is well.

I cannot wait.

For this.

Hanging out in Rio.

In Rio de Janeiro, two genius brothers have turned the side of an art gallery into a kind of vertical playground. Tiago Primo (27) & his brother, Gabriel (20) spend 12 hours a day in their 'house' which hangs from the side of the building in Rio's old center. So the articles I've read tell me, I believe somewhere in Lapa?

The two have been hanging out since May and will still be there till August 20th. And the toilet? Over the balcony and into the gallery thank goodness.

That would take bird poop to a whole new level.

My toms.

While we were in the United States (South America taught me never to call the USA simply America) I finally got myself a pair of Toms. Shoes I've written about on here many times as I really support their company. I've seen so many 'knock-off' pairs of Toms on my travels so far and really hope that if people like the style and can afford it they choose to by Toms instead. You won't be disappointed!

I hope the second pair of shoes from my purchase have made it to their rightful owner. My pair quite possibly could be the most comfy pair of shoes I've ever owned.

Thanks Toms for being so great! I definitely will be a returning customer.
