week two.

Week two = finito. And it wasn't as hard as I had expected. I did have a couple of realisations though. #1 - activated nuts aren't the absolute joke I originally thought they were. They are actually insanely delicious, and well worth the 24hr effort and wait. #2 - I could eat haloumi all day,…

June in an Insta.

Some brighter moments in the dull, rainy month of June. Top left to right - finally fixing up that pile of clothes needing replacement buttons : finally have clothes to wear ; the richest chocolate cake you will ever find ; beautifully newspaper-wrapped flowers at Finders Keepers. Bottom left to right - I N C…

time with :: Claire Wind

I have known Claire for many years now, and every time I catch up with her my desire to study design is heightened once again. Such a source of inspiration!What is your favourite part of the day?  Between 3-5pm when I know my day's workload is nearly over and I can expect my husband to get…

sun-seeker.

I am that girl who shivers in the slightest of winds. The one who begs you to sit in the sun while picnicking even in the middle of summer. I follow the sun around my room while I study - moving to different patches of the floor or bed as the day draws on. Maybe…

week one.

Week one of quitting sugar is done! I may or may not have had a few treats along the way - but it was gelato. You can't say no to that. Doing this has actually been one of the best decisions I have ever made. I get to eat all my favourite foods all of…

i like crustaceans.

It was only yesterday that I rediscovered the complete genius of Arabella Ramsay. That old Tumblr of mine used to feature quite a bit of her. And then this came along. And I fell in love once again. The prints are just incredible. Who would have thought wearing some crazy crabs on your body would…

Musings :: Chloe Sevigny

I freaking love her (and by her, I probably just mean everything she wears - wish I could say our relationship was deeper than that). And it might seem strange because I don't think I have ever really seen her as an actress (although Big Love has been on my 'to watch' list for a…

socks & scarves.

My two favourite winter wardrobe essentials. It is a rare day when I leave the house without a scarf on. No joke. Lately I have actually been trying to limit my scarf use, and deal with a frozen neck instead. People must have been starting to think I was wearing that same outfit everyday -…

gaining perspective.

You know those days when you would do anything to go back in time? That's my day - or at least the second half of it. Honestly I would give all my money or shave off my hair or live in a tent, just to go back. Car crashes are not fun. Or whiplash. But…

Inspiration Wall :: June

Now that the study is pretty much over for the semester I can let the inspiration run wild. 1. Holidays = sewing time. First I have to finish that never-ending project, then get on to all the beautiful sewing and DIY books I have. 2. Hanneli Mustaparta in this Miu Miu coat. To. Die. For.…
