typewriter!

T y p e w r i t e r !

Yesterday I went to the markets on my lunch break at work and I found a typewriter!
An amazing treasure to find, it's in proper working condition, it was only ten dollars and just look how pretty it is! I have been searching for an affordable one for ages now, so I am very pleased with my purchase, as you can probably tell.

I also got a beautiful painting of Swan Lake (which you can see in the background of the above picture) for my new room.
It is in my room design plans to have a wall adorned with a plethora of paintings in all different shapes and sizes, with all the pictures depicting something pretty, like Swan Lake, or forests...or autumn.
..... ... ....
I had the most amazing day yesterday,

I got to go and hang out with the Secret Squirrel gang in the morning

and I got to go to my lovely work place.

p. s. Expect a post about Secret Squirrel soon, I've been putting it off because it will take me some time to make it perfect, I want to do the brand justice.

Just some more pretty pictures for everyone to have a little peruse : : :

G o o d n i g h t!
I would love to fall asleep in a tent like this, under the moon and the stars, wearing a crown and a too-too.

Sretsis is an amazing little label that I came across after reading an editorial about them in Lula magazine a couple of issues ago. They make really, really amazing and whimsical clothing. The Sretsis look is really just me in a nutshell. Their clothes are so ethereal and youthful. I really love the picture above, the daisy chain motif is just so pretty! I would love to own that top of the right.
The pictures with the pastel, tye-dye background is their latest collection, but the picture below to the left is from a marvelous previous collection.
I would imagine that if I ever designed a collection, it would turn out looking something like this.

Anyone remember P E T R O V A ?

♥For all of you Australians who were hooked on the first season of Project Runway Australia, you would know that it was impossible to ignore Petrova!From the beginning of the promotional ads, when I saw Petrova clad in her fringed, fuchsia top; her sparkly, black, tiered too-too and her gypsy hat I pinned her as my favorite.

I have recently come across images of her new collection. She designs for her label---

L a d y P e t r o v a !

She was inspired by a story book with some creepy plot about a little girl being locked in an attic, but sent all these pretty clothes or something. I forgot the story, but it is plain to see that influence by looking at the pictures. These are my favorite looks, enjoy! I know I did!
au revoir! ♥

Clog o' clock

N e w (ugly to the point of greatness) S h o e s !

A couple of weeks ago I did a post about clogs, and my new found love for sandal-ed clogs.
A couple of months ago I did a post about my deep love for wedged shoes.
---On Sunday when I went to a random markets near Luna Park ( that I stumbled upon completely by accident! Best accident ever!) I found a pair of shoes that are a blend of both!
I love, love, love them!!
I can't wait to wear some thick grey socks or some grey or heart-print stockings with them! I wore them around the house the other day and they are majorly comfortable. These would look just amazing with a chambray dress and those grey socks I think!
Oh, and did I mention I got them for $5??♥ ♥ ♥

girl crush #10

C a r e y M u l l i g a n !

I love her. She is so elegant and lovely! You can tell she is one of those young actressess that have a proper head on their shoulders, she reminds me of Audrey Hepburn actually. I can see her popping up in Lula soon.
I really, really want to see her movie"
An Education
The film looks really interesting, Carey plays the protagonist, a role that got her an Oscar nomination for best actress...
If for nothing else, I would watch this movie for the costumes---The film is set in 1961, so they costumes are still a bit 50's-ish.
Amazing!

au revoir

Another half arsed blog from me today -
These are just some pretty pictures of some pretty outfits that I would like to 'appropriate'
I really, really, really love the jacket in the picture below--- it just looks so fluffy and warm!

Also, remember that time I went to JAPAN on exchange?
Well now it's my turn to return the favour!
I have a japanese exchange student living with me at the moment---so nice to be able to hang out with her and do quintesentially tourist-ey things that I wouldn't normally do. Should be fun!

au revoir!
