A great talent to have is calligraphy. All the fancy writing. I always just get so jealous of people with amazing typography skills. It doesn't matter how hard I try, it doesn't look good. I could trace someone else's work and it would still be terrible. But if I could there would be no more… Continue reading all the fancy writing.

san franciscan for a day.
Although clearly most of these photos weren't actually taken in the wonderful world of San Francisco. Jake Stangel shoots some of the best candid / personal photos out. Look through his Dailies collection and you will find a bunch of ridiculous faces, misshapen shots, and hands in the way. It's like a way more artsy… Continue reading san franciscan for a day.
connection piece iii.
Yoko Ono is one crazy, multi-tasking, multi-talented lady. Now she has a new book featuring thoughtful pieces. I don't know if you would call them poems, statements, or just the wanderings of the brain - but they are legit. I used to love a good quote, and then I guess I got over all that.… Continue reading connection piece iii.
fashion schnapps.
Just like a great shot. If only it were summer right now - these are classics. Perfect in the sunny, dry weather. There is no harm in dreaming! 1. Shoot from Lula issue 16, which I have recently decided is most definitely my favourite magazine. The perfect mix of all things good and wonderful. 2.… Continue reading fashion schnapps.
reliving mara hoffman.
Fall 2014 RTW. Mara = amazing. Like really truly. I love clothes that actually make me FEEL something. They might be pretty to look but there is also something else behind them. There is a pull and a desire, a genuine love. I get excited when I see ingenuous designs and beautiful patterns. It reminds… Continue reading reliving mara hoffman.
want list :: olympia le tan.
Those daily Net-a-Porter emails in my inbox are both an amazing thing, and a very bad thing. Every piece is so perfect, but ridiculously expensive - the kind of items I would actually be saving my entire life for. I don't even remember the first time I saw one of Olympia Le Tan's old-timey clutch… Continue reading want list :: olympia le tan.
a navy wall or two.
I feel like dark wall colours used to to taboo, or were only used for little boy's bedrooms, with spaceships and planets dotted throughout. Now it's all the rage. Have your simple wooden dining table, of course with a vase of flowers on top, and a navy wall in the background. Style. We can all… Continue reading a navy wall or two.
woolly season.
I know these shots were all taken on the other side of the world, where it is technically spring, but they are perfect for right here, right now. It is getting cold everybody. Warning. At least there are many beautiful and bright warm things around. Jumpers, coats, beanies galore. And these ones bring a bit… Continue reading woolly season.
inspiration wall :: april.
Autumn has started to show its true colours with some crazy weather patterns. Today is one of those days where you just need to stay in bed, watch movies and listen to the rain. Even though I feel like I should be doing something - constant battle. So here is my productivity for the day:… Continue reading inspiration wall :: april.
friends of green.
The inventor of these space-saving, green-loving lights really is a genius. It's like something out of Alice in Wonderland, or a sci-fi movie - who thinks of these things in real life? Hanging plants are all the hipster rage, just wait til they get their hands on these babies. They will literally froth. And so… Continue reading friends of green.
