nail art heaven.

Now I can actually do something fun with my nails. Last night I was lucky enough to go to a nail art lesson at Workshop. (Thank you thank you thank you sweet frankie for the tickets, always so good to me, forever in debt). The lovely Michelle from Cosmetic Cupcake ran the class and taught…

to live in a hut.

I'm guessing that most people don't really want to live in a hut. We think of small, poky spaces with one room, freezing cold, no room to do anything or even move around. Plus they are always surrounded by creepy woods with wolf howls heard throughout the night. You pretty much have to sleep with…

all swedes are cool.

I can't be wrong here, can I? Just look at these images from the Swedish festival, Way Out West (and far out it was a good line-up: hello Alicia Keys, James Blake, Grimes, Beach House and Tame Impala. Just another reason to secretly change my identity). It puts all Australian festivals to shame. I'm a…

the dream.

The Strand Arcade's yearly 'Evening with Our Designers' is pretty much my annual fashion event (i.e. the only real fashion event I ever get to). Goes in the diary as soon as it can. And then it's time to start trying to save some pennies so that I can purchase even just one thing. There…

going all aztec

There is just something about the current Aztec craze. Can't get enough of it. It's got me. I might be the only person to have a favourite shape, but whatever, I friggin love triangles. Just to prove my point, think about these triangle friends: bunting, yum sandwiches, the actual triangle instrument, the PYRAMIDS. Enough said.…

musings :: tavi gevinson

This is quite a timely post on my behalf, although it has definitely been brewing for a while. Like, years. Pretty much ever since I first discovered Style Rookie and fell in love with it. Somehow all the inner-workings of a teenage girls mind were unleashed, and we could all agree. Until I started following…

comeback cons.

This just makes me so happy. Cons are once again making their way into every street style image. Hallelujah. Vans, you were great, but it's just not the same. Also you developed some serious holes after only a year - and guess what! I can still wear the cons I bought in year 10, even…

an olsen a day.

Today I am having a bit of an Olsen moment. And I'm not complaining. If you have ever stalked my Facebook page, seen the strange articles I read, or save to bookmarks, you would know of my affection for these twins. As I imagined my outfit for the day in my head this morning, it…

week eight.

So the program is over and now I am left to fend for myself. But there is no way I'm stopping - it is just too good. Luckily there are a billion sugar-free recipes I want to try, and that should keep me motivated for a long while. Plus there is always the blog, which…

inspiration wall :: august

Somehow this month quickly became a very sombre, neutral looking inspiration wall. Maybe that's a sign for a peaceful month ahead? Probably just wishful thinking. And laziness on my part from last month - that book club is still non-existent. Must do it soon! - This Twenty Seven Names dress featured in RUSSH a long…
