I love this new fabric range by artist-designer Emily Sutton for St Jude’s, it is another beautiful feather in the cap of their amazing fabric collection. 
Have been scouting through the Etsy blog this morning and happened upon this beautiful jewellery collection fit for a fairy kingdom by Derya Aksoy owner of the etsy boutique Jewelera. I had to stop and post about her work, maybe you have seen it before but I just had to share. I especially love the image of Derya's studio/workspace.
Adore these F-Scott Fitzgerald book jackets by senior cover designer at Penguin Books Coralie Bickford-Smith found via 100 Layer Cake. Adds a new flourish to one of my favourite books-The Great Gatsby, I can't wait to get a copy or maybe the whole set.
How sweetly pink and turquoise go together, like best friends from the colour wheel. Threaded with subtle candle light, this inspiration shoot from Tara of Dixie Pixel for Southern Weddings really made my morning.
The Homemade Home by Sania Pell. I love this book, bursting with gorgeous pictures, styling and fifty pretty projects that add a bit of extra flair to everyday life. Most of which can be made with things you would find laying about the house like fabric scraps, broken jewellery, tired furniture or old jam jars. A perfect way to brighten up a dull corner and make the most of rainy weekend mornings.
A few favourite pages from the Everyday 2010 collection from House Doctor. I adore each years designs more than the last. A little bit bohemian a little bit vintage I could move right in to the pages of their pretty homely catalogue right now.
Still just idling about, but I found you some prettiness while my feet have been up. Fall 2009 from Erica Tanov found via montmarte's sketchbook.
Had to start with a pretty pretty post today. My friend Emma-li is having an art exhibition in her bar and has a few of these stunning photos for sale. I looked up the link and found even more beauty waiting for me on the 666 Photography site. Imagine rummaging through the dressing up box at this studio. I would want to move in their wardrobe permanently. I always fancied wearing a galleon in my hair. Only in the evening of course it might be too much for the daytime.
My newest love. I was stopped in my tracks today. Silent and still. Just adoring this, Heather's new collaboration. The Cup & Saucer Collective is a creative venture between photographer Rachel Saldana and artist Heather Smith Jones. Creating collections of art and handmade items.
I recently went on an etsy spending spree. I am now the proud owner of a whole bunch of stunning glass beads from the lovely Caladonia March. I want to bead everything in sight with these beauties. Add some rhine stones and a bit of Mata Hari style dressing up.
A pretty bowl for breakfast, latte, pudding, hot chocolate, rice, soup, drinking, noodles, dipping.
He stole it in 1994 when I started college and purchased my first copy of Vogue for research, there blossomed a lifetime obsession with fashion, trends, design and the way everything looks. I have always been a vintage girl at heart. As a child I treasured (amongst other things) a tin of old lipsticks and rouge in gold cases that belonged to my great grandma. Always loved the lifestyle and fashions of decades out of my reach. Ball gowns and fur capes. Nights at the opera.
On days like this when I have the luxury of a day at home to myself (and time to get a weeks worth of posting done!) I would love to be out on the verandah or a sheltered deck looking out towards a peaceful garden watching birds splash about in a bird bath or pecking at seed filled coconut shells.
