Hope you all had a joy-filled Christmas! As today is Boxing Day, which is also my laziest day of the year, this is just a simple post of some beautiful photography from Mariam Sitchinava. Makes me want to get out my film cameras way more over the summer, and start shooting everything I see. I… Continue reading mariam sitchinava.

recyclemondo.
Anything recycled or reused is always a winner in my eyes. That's something I have valued for a long time. My fabric box is all I need to prove this - you should see the scraps I keep for those 'just in case' moments, and the million vintage tea towels I collected for my Year… Continue reading recyclemondo.
time with :: hannah power
Han is another one of those incredibly inspiring people who has so much talent, from her macaroon baking, to crazy art skillz. (And no, she isn't related to Alex - unless they are keeping a secret from me). Best macaroon flavour? And what flavour would you invent? My all time favourite is pistachio for sure! I… Continue reading time with :: hannah power
gurl power.
My favourite few words at the moment. Not that long ago I would regularly claim that I didn't like girl band music, or solo girls for that matter. I thought all their voices sounded the same, or they would all just be whinging about their unsuccessful loves. Wasn't interested in that. Nothing could beat Angus… Continue reading gurl power.
icelandic for a day.
I just finished a book set in Iceland (Burial Rites by Hannah Kent - recommend it), and for the first time ever I am feeling enticed to go there. I always imagined it would be way too cold, too icy, too wintry all the time. Which is a nightmare in my eyes. But this book has… Continue reading icelandic for a day.
for the love of armchairs.
The problem with this modern technology is that I am constantly overwhelmed by beautiful things. Which isn't all bad. But it makes me dream and plan way too much. Just like how we have already decided on a little reading corner with vintage armchairs to relax on, glass of wine in hand - and maybe… Continue reading for the love of armchairs.
lazy days.
It's a lazy day today. We woke up, were meant to go for our weekly swim, and chickened out. All in the name of chilling instead. Also need to prep for the million-hour shift I have tonight, and avoid falling asleep at all costs. In keeping with the theme, this post is equally lazy. A… Continue reading lazy days.
shoreditch.
This is my idea of a hotel. Slash I could also happily have this space as my home for eternity. Every room is beautifully decked out, and it looks like there is an incredible coffee shop there too. (As well as a florist, gallery space and juice bar on the ground floor - free for… Continue reading shoreditch.
striking.
Although I may not always have the guts to wear this kind of thing, I am a massive appreciator of Emma Mulholland. Clashing patterns and textures have never looked so good. It's just like bringing out your inner 80's grunge sister, and who doesn't want to rock that awesome girl power vibe? Emma Mulholland's lady… Continue reading striking.
latest fashion faves.
Once again here is my catch-up on some of those fashion pics I constantly save. Even though it may be winter in the US while it is warming up down here, I still love to check out their outfits. I can start planning my winter wardrobe already. So far my list includes: a constant takeaway… Continue reading latest fashion faves.
