About Me

My photo
Thirst for knowledge. Research everything I don't know about and promptly forget half. I like clothes I can't afford and always pick the odd piece of cutlery. This blog is an eclectic mix of everything fabulous from around the world and an assortment of my thoughts.

Island Holiday



I'm risking sounding like a teenage girl when I say this but how cute! Or if I really want to get into the confused-teenage-esq state 'how caaaute!'. I'm not sure of the story between Sean O'pry and Madisyn (or if there even is one) but the atmosphere and story created for the video makes me want them to be together and live on an island.

The outfits the models are sporting are an eclectic mix of amazing. I feel that designs are quite 'free spirited' and relaxed. It helps that both the models aesthetically appealing (in other words, ridiculously good looking) but I think the clothes almost take on a personality of their own.

People sometimes throw around terms like 'power suit'. As if the sharp cuts of a jacket will make you more powerful or confident. I feel these clothes would make people feel unrestrained and liberated from the conventional way of life. Can an outfit really have that much power?

Love xx

Denmark

I'm moving to Denmark next year which is terrifying and thrilling at the same time. I keep reading conflicting things about the Danes. One article will say that they do not appreciate loud gestures and that they will not hide how they feel about you. Another will state that they are lovely, friendly people who will welcome you. The third will say that they have a 'snobbish' view of foreigners and that it is hard to get into their close knit social circles. I realise that it is impossible to encapsulate a whole nation full of people with different political, social and economic views in one article but I am trying to get an understanding of social and cultural norms... which is proving very hard!



If anyone had ever visited Denmark, I would love to hear of your experiences there!



One thing is for sure, the Danes seem to have great style. Here are some of my favourite photos from Copenhagen Street Style

Lost Blogs





Oh no! I lost all the blogs that I was following because I changed my email address!


I feel like a pet has died. I so carefully created that list. It was full of amazing and wonderful ideas and inspirations.

Does anyone know how to get it back?


If not, I will have to start again. Any ideas?

BOYS OF MILAN AND PARIS: FALL/WINTER 2011/12//

Here is a lovely video, ney, a fantastic video. Once you have watched it, there will be no way you can reject my apology for not being a consistent blogger! For some ridiculous reason, I am imagining everyone in Europe to look like this! Unrealistic? Yes. I'm still hopeful.

So my reason for not up-dating for so long is a good one. I don't think it could get any better. I will not bore you with the details because a) this isn't a diary and b) I don't like sympathy. So you will just have to trust that I had a great reason. I will try to have more regular posts and shall try and keep them interesting!

Love xx

Love Bunnies



I’m not usually one to see an entire outfit and desperately want every single item of clothing, but I think I have found an exception. I hate to overuse the word ‘love’ but I think this is one post where I can say I LOVE LOVE LOVE this. I love the coat, I love the shoes, I love the colours, I love the hair, the glasses and the bag. I love the dress and the scarf and the expression on her face. I think it’s safe to say that I have a bit of a crush on Abbey Lee Kershaw and would raid her closet in a millisecond. I don’t know how she manages to look amazing in every photo I see. Wouldn’t she be travelling so much that she could only pack a small variety of clothes every time? It’s a mystery.



I went to a couple of vintage stores in Adelaide last week but didn’t find anything of interest. I was going to buy a lovely brown fur coat but then felt guilty for wearing something so controversial. It was made of rabbit fur from Australia which, personally, I don’t think is too bad seeing as they are considered pests here. Even though rabbits are super cute and the Peter Rabbit books are lovely and fun, they cause so much destruction when it comes to farms. I lived in the country when I was younger so, naturally, had some friends with farms who told me some of the problems with rabbits. If I looked at it from that perspective then I could convince myself that I wasn’t actually doing anything morally wrong. I still half think that I would get red paint thrown on me from an animal rights activist group if I wore it out though. Oh the dilemma!


While we are on the topic of rabbits, ‘happy Easter’ for those who celebrate it. I am hoping that someone in my family is going to give me some kind of delicious dark chocolate treat. Hint.


Now for a question to be thrown out into the blogosphere (I sound like a 40 year old mum who doesn’t really understand how the internet works)…


Is it cheaper to buy clothes in London rather than Australia? I don’t know whether to stock up before I go or to wait until I am over there to go crazy. I am thinking that it would be cheaper seeing as there are more people (so more clothes are produced) but have heard conflicting answers.
