A tea towel as fun as this wasn't made for drying dishes. I picked up this cute design by PPD Design when I was visiting Murobond paints last year. A few months later on a rainy day I decided to make it into a pillowcase and it now takes center stage on my bed. I also like the idea of framing it - a great cost effective way to create some unique wall art.
It's official, I can't bear the cold! I blame Sydney's blue skies! It always looks like it should be warmer out there and hence I never wear enough clothes when leaving the house. So in dreaming about warmer weather I'm inspired by this summery pic from The Sartorialist. Pairing a soft blouse over shorts, so pretty, feminine and slightly restrained with the longer sleeves.
Someday in my life I will own a loft. Just like, someday in my life I will own a beachhouse or someday in my life I will live in Paris/New York etc and etc... easier said than done! For the moment I will just have to ohhh and ahhh over other peoples amazing creations like this loft owned by Dixie Chick, Emily Robinson. Who would have thunk it - a country gal in a city loft. I love how the ceiling to floor curtains and timber panels create a certain softness and warmth to this overwhelming scale of the space.
Really love the little breakfast space in the second picture to the left of the kitchen - low lying armchairs and coffee table.
I just love the imaginary world I am dreaming of whilst reading the description of Lizzie Fortunato's latest Spring Summer Jewellery line. Titled "Faded Grandeur" is "the story of discovering an abandoned Indian Palace where evidence of a grand party - a torn gown, a half empty glass, or a single earring - remain." Ummmmm... "I want to go to there."
If you're not already, you must become addicted to Lonny Magazine. Lon (London) -ny (New York) has become somewhat of a cult online magazine since it's launch four editions ago. Jump on and check out the latest June/July edition here.
Life is like a hipstamatic apple app, well kind of. I am in no way a professional photographer so it's a bit of a point shoot and hope for the best. The subject never ends up where I intend it when I hit click. While frustrated at first, I realised that, like life, it takes twenty plus frames to get the one that feels right. I can't see the whole picture so I'm not sure what I will end up with but if I keep pointing and shooting, there's bound to be a few good moments along the way.
