I’m always excited when there are new developments at Skinny laMinx. (Watch out for products in my Kitchen Before & After Reveal coming soon!) Not to mention my home is full of Skinny prints! Skinny laMinx has just launched a 2013/2014 Lookbook which is as enticing as ever!
Themes include:
Celebrate:
When the sun is out, there’s always reason to celebrate. Ice cubes clink in a jug of iced tea standing on a Pebble print melamine tray from Skinny laMinx, while beach bats and towels are unpacked from the Skinny Tote and the first scent of woodsmoke from the braai curls through the warm air.
Maxi-Minimal:
Although time was short, and Charl knew he should get the wine chilled in time for his guests, he paused in the hallway to straighten the Vessels fine art print on the wall, enjoying the way the simple sketched lines offset the carefully curated selection of stoneware and interesting objets on the hall table. A beep from his phone reminded him of the time, and he rushed to the kitchen to don his Brancusi Stripe cross-back apron from Skinny laMinx. It was time to star in a sushi-making session.
Acid Pastel:
She had no idea pregnancy would make her such a control freak, but from the moment the scan results showed a girl, Saskia had been dreading the vicious-pink Barbie-wrought onslaught that seemed the inevitable consequence of a daughter in the house. But with 3 weeks to go, she was feeling confident: the sharp zing of lemon, and the gentle touch of grey that she’d brought into Ella’s room with Skinny laMinx’s Orla and Flower Dreams cushions did a brilliant job of giving pink a sassy jolt that she hoped would give her baby a head-start in the style stakes.
Oh My Garden:
The view of Table Mountain was great, but there were acres of city blocks to navigate in order to get there. Having left her beloved rambling garden for this city loft was tougher than Polly had thought it would be. But, never one to mope, she’d already hit on a way of bringing the outdoors in: Her succulents collection was looking smart in their Soft Buckets from Skinny laMinx, and the green Pincushion Tea Towel hanging in the kitchen marked a fresh start to this new chapter.
Afro Scandi:
For hours now, “a cup of tea!” had been all Merrel could think of, and she sank into her nest of Skinny laMinx cushions with a grateful sigh. Through the steam from her teacup, she looked at how the Woodpile print offset the woven patterns in the pile baskets she’d brought back for her store, but noting that the clear colours and clean prints were a far cry from those dusty market streets. The tea had restored her, and she moved to her desk to write a Reindeer Herds Postcard, thanking her hosts in far-off lands.
Happy Home:
“Happy birthday, Dad!” The twins were waiting in the kitchen, excitedly concealing something behind their backs, slices of birthday cake at the ready on Rough Diamond placemats at the kitchen table. “We got you a pet… no, pets for your birthday!”
Sello’s heart sank. The kids had been lobbying for a puppy for ages, but dogs were not his thing. With a flourish, the twins presented his gift, and Sello’s chuckle was tinged with relief: A set of Domestic Animal cards from Skinny laMinx was exactly the kind of mantelpiece menagerie with which he could cope.

My favourite has to be the maxi-minimal theme. I’m trying to go for more of a minimal approach myself and love the clean lines and graphic shapes in this collection. Die for the “bowls” design cushion in “lemon slice”. So fresh!

I just love Skinny laMinx, definitely popping in for some christmas presents. I love the soft buckets for my favourite plants for my dining room table.
Such a stunning competition! I need and covet the Maxi Minimal Collection! I am loving these patterns and colours to zest up my living space and bring a touch of "funk" to my home! I’d use the soft buckets for either all my sewing goodies like wool, needles, patterns etc or to store all of my crafty goodies like paper, pens, cardboard, sketchbook etc?Thus, this has “Megs” written all over it! Hello!? I love interior design and all things decor …so please please pick me ? Tweet about giveaway and following both you and @skinnylaminx on Twitter! Fingers crossed

Absolutely love the new look book! I can't decide whether I prefer the AcidPastels or Maxi-Minimal collections though… I have a 9 month old son and I constantly have wipes, nappies, bum cream, etc strewn across my side table, so I'd use the soft buckets to store all these goodies in a sleek, stylish way. *Fingers crossed* (I've also shared this competition on FB.
I love the soft buckets as cactus pot holders – the combo of the fabric and cactus is divine
I would probably use them as in the images above the cacti just look beautfiul in the soft buckets!
I would definitely use it for herbs in my kitchen. I also love the scatter cushions for my patio – AND yellow is my new favourite outdoor colour!
I ADORE these new soft buckets and I have skinny laMinx cushions in both my lounge and bedroom so I need the buckets for both rooms! my fave is also the bowl design but I have them in red.
I would used them for trick n treat bags, to hold nappies or to use as a table centre piece
those delicious soft buckets would be perfect next to my couch in the living room with my knitting, wool, needles, etc. there's always more than one project going at the same time coz I don't know what i'm in the mood for from day to day. and also, I just love seeing the colourful balls of wool in all their glory. so this is the perfect way to display them without looking messy!
These would make the perfect addition to our new home! I'd definitely use them for plants in our living room
hmmm…. definitely something with a bit of height. Maybe a beautiful spekboom in pride of place on my new kitchen shelves
Would use them to stash my scarves that I usually grab when I'm heading out.
I have liked and shared, pinned and tweeted. I would love to win the soft buckets. I have to bring some of my plants in from my balcony – they are not doing well outside – and their pots are not looking very nice after a few months in the sun!
Would use it for cosmetics and toiletries on the bathroom vanity
shared on twitter as well.
Love the soft buckets – would use them to hold some of my growing collection of stationery/craft supplies (like washi tape and pens etc!)
Shared on twitter!
I am a lady that likes to see all her things that she uses around her. So i would use my soft baskets to put all my art stationery since i am a graphic designer so basically when i come up with a new idea in my head ill have my handy stationery ready for me to use in my soft baskets. * Perfect just sooo PERFECT *
I really would love to use the buckets to start a herb garden, been looking for ideas and these woould work perfectly!

I would put my stash of wool and knitting in them. Such a mengelmoes in shopper bags at the moment and these buckets would make it so much more stylish…..
