taking stock part 2.

My 23rd birthday seems the perfect time to take stock and reflect once again. I definitely don't do this enough - I get so caught up in the moment and excitement of things that I forget to look back and actually think. Here is my attempt at taking a moment, thanks to the always amazing…

musings :: blake lively.

I'm not ashamed to say that I love Gossip Girl. And that I only just finished it - legitimately 20 minutes ago the last episode ever ended, time to give my computer a small break. It has only taken me 5 years. At least my slow-paced viewing allowed me more time to take in the…

the wedding planners.

All through instagram, every day, I see dozens of self-made calligraphy prints with cute quotes and messages. It's a talent I wish I had, but at the same time, EVERYBODY is doing it. And there isn't a lot of differentiation. There's something unique about Santiago Sunbird though. Firstly they've used their talents for more than…

model muse :: caroline brasch nielsen.

She is a wonder this girl. She manages the look I forever wish I could pull off each day - that straight 70's reminiscent hair and casual laidback styling. Her street style is super off-duty, to the point that no one else could pull it off. Not sure I've seen many who can pair a…

want list :: midas touch.

It's Karen Walker's 10th birthday (happy birthday my dear friend). For so long I have been saving for my own special pair of these darlings because they are the greatest shades to grace our shores - I'm literally talking years here. And one day soon I will finally take that step, once I have built…

photoshoot :: cellophane head.

Editorial, my favourite. Especially those with the most eccentric crazy stylings and settings. Definitely a dream job brimming with constant creativity. My whole room would become a mood board slash pin up of anything I ever saw and loved. I don't know how some of these ideas are thought up though - who imagines putting…

eat your heart out.

Quitting sugar was probably one of the best things I have ever done. I have more energy, I'm happier and I just have a whole new appreciative view of food. I've always been a massive fan of grub, but I genuinely get excited when I have to cook now. Buying ingredients is like an adventure…

bungalow vibes.

When I think bungalow, I think chilled out, spacious, summery places. This Jamaica Bay, New York, space doesn't quite fit my normal description but it is still pretty freaking cool. My absolute dream is to one day find a little run-down shack and transform it into something beautiful. Keep all those vintage / daggy elements…

reliving :: christian dior.

Something a little more recent this time round - funny that it's Dior again (seriously showing the power Raf has). Most of the time I enjoy looking back at past fashion shows and seeing how they have shaped fashion today. It all just proves how cyclical fashion really is - note to self: NEVER throw…

just ridiculous.

Ridiculous how many cool thangs / ensembles have come out of the recent fashion weeks. Sometimes I think the street style may actually be my favourite part of these periods. Don't get me wrong, I am in love with the fashion shows and the incredible creativity, art and inspiration that comes out of these. But…
