Some inspiration

Current book love - it's just been turned into a movie with Julia Roberts... Liz Gilbert has such a way with words to make you think about things without pushing it in your face, all the while being witty. Her time eating for pleasure in Italy, Praying in India and loving in Indonesia. Really easy read, but very enlightening. 

When I have a job with lots of money, I can't wait to decorate my house. It will be a renovation of beauty! And I'll have a linen closet like this where my sheets and towels match and everything is tied up in bundles.Via. Automatism.

Lonely hearts cut-out underwear... oh so prettttty.

Cute blouses and jean-shorts... so cute. I'm addicted to shirts at the moment.  Can't remember where the image is from, if it's yours, tell me. :)

I'm addicted to my Homography Holga camera - although the last batch of photo's came out blurry... I think I need to be using 800iso film... But anyway, isn't this a beautiful picture? It's the LA skyline via Lomography

  Really cool jeans from the label Cheap Monday which can be found at the store Stable in Wellington. I think I need to do this to my old distressed jeans... give them a new life. 

Cute outfit from Fashion is a Playground - she's so adorable and French. I'm teaching myself French online.

Beautiful photo of the Eiffel tower - also can't remember who took it, but it's so soft and pretty. 

Another of my favourite bloggers, Le Flassh - she has awesome style.

Just thought I'd share a few favourites and inspirations with you all... I've been a bit slack on the blogging front, but exams are over, and I'm home now! I have a week down here in the cold before starting uni again. It's my 21st birthday on the 12th of July! Eek! My party's on the 17th, I can't wait. :D

Think of Me

Beautiful flowers in jars and cans via She Walks in Beauty. Such a beautiful idea - I wish I had jars and flowers aplenty, and space to put them! 

I have a to-do list.
  1. Put washing on line
  2. Tidy Room
  3. Make the bed (with the awesomely 70's bright orange wool blanket Mum gave me that was a wedding present for my mum and dad!)
  4. Tidy wardrobe. It's shocking.
  5. Start my Psychology assignment that's due in a week. 
Awesome. Productive day inside! When it's such a beauty outside!

How good is 500 Days of Summer? It's so beautifully crafted, and every shot looks like a beautiful photograph.

Summer: I woke up one morning and I just knew.
Tom: Knew what?
Summer: What I was never sure of with you.


"Most days of the year are unremarkable. They begin, and they end, with no lasting memories made in between. Most days have no impact on the course of a life. May 23rd was a Wednesday."

I love those movies that are so real, but make you think... what if you did talk to that guy in the coffee shop briefly?

I am loving covering books at the moment, and I really need to buy some brown paper, some material and get my crafty hands out to cover my books I've got lying around. They really do make an interesting look, and makes them look uniform as well! I have a bunch of bright orange penguin classics that look horrible by themselves, but covered like this would be so cute! Book covers from Book City Jackets.


Also slightly dying inside for these cute necklaces. All from Wildpair. That also means I need to go and buy that jewelery holder that I liked so much...

I'm getting my hair done again on Friday (it's been far too long, being a student sucks when getting your hair done costs $110 here, let alone in the city where it's double that price). So I'm thinking I'll get it a little lighter for summer... about this shade.
And finally, I'm in love with vintage suitcases. I neeeed to go thrift shopping and buy some. Don't they just look awesome as decor? And you can use them as storage! Win-win!

Ahh... it feels good to have my creativity back.
