These are some beautiful pictures of beautiful people in black and white.
Random, but who doesn't appreciate a little start of the week eye candy?
au revoir!

UO

U r b a n O r i g i n a l s new look book is so lovely! ♥

I think UO has a little bit of a lame reputation in the US, but when I was in America two years ago I loved the store!They just have really nice shoes and dresses and jewelery.
I bought this amazing sparkly vest, which, although expensive, is great.
I think that this look book is so naturalistic and lovely. The colours in the last picture is just beautiful. I love the magnolia's with the chambray. The shoes in the last picture are beautiful too, no?
au revoir!

A RANDOM LITTLE POST TODAY,
Yesterday I went by Rozelle markets and I picked up this adorable little calf figure for my new room. It was $2, so great!
I have been collecting thing for my room ever since January, when renovations began. Presently, I have : three 70's paintings (a scene of swan lake, a lake and forest scene that looks like it came right out of the film Twilight, and an 18th century ship on a deep blue sea); a crochet flower painting; a whale figurine; a beautiful white and baby blue lace bedspread; various bottles for housing crayons, pencils etc; and fairy lights.
I Can't wait to start decorating, and to show everyone! Right now, my room is floor-less in parts, wall-less in parts and dirty as all hell.
Still unlivable! :(

knits!

K n i t s ! ♥

As the days get colder, more and more do I really want a loose fitting, loosely knitted sweater...
or some cable knit.
I think that I would love to perhaps get one in an orange-y/ brown-ey/beige colour...or perhaps a simple black.

A random post!

Hello everyone. Just a little post to show you what the non HSC polluted sector of my brain is being inspired by right now.
I spent the last weekend with the Secret Squirrel gang at Sydney's Finders Keepers markets in Sydney. The markets were so pretty! All the stalls had some association with Frankie magazine, so of course they were lovely in a crafty,quirky,pastel-ey way! Simmilar to what I'm being inspired by now...hmmm... I'm hoping to apply such inspiration to the styling of my new room--hopefully I will have a fully functioning room within the month (fingers crossed!)
Au revoir!

my babies!

F u n k i s S a n d a l C l o g s !

On the weekend, I finally bought what has been haunting my mind ever since the start of summer last year! I don't really know what to call them...wooden sandals? I just love them. They are just perfect! They are from this Swedish homewears/fashion shop called Funkis. Luckily they have a few stockists in Sydney so I was able to get them! When I got home from buying them, I showed my dad to which he said (in his famous Swedish accent) "You know Loran, your grandmother in Sweden has those exact same ones. Are they Funkis? She wears them all the time- they are such old lady shoes"
Then call me an old lady, I say! I look so forward to wearing them with lots of chambray and white and tights and socks!
H0pefully the purchase of my new favourite shoes will subside all the sandal/clog talk on the blog for a while!

In other news::: I have gotten a few lovelies in the past couple of days- an amazing fashion week!! I got my favourite chambray Secret Squirrel dress, and a that leopard print cardigan from Cotton On that one of my readers so nicely suggested to me!
Pictures later!

au revoir ♥

Inspiration!

I wish my Autumn and Winter to look just like this!
