shoes made for walking

i am all about a comfy shoe.

these beauties are all from bird.

 

mosaics

things i’d forgotten about but have recently remembered:

1. pretty colors

2. how to do a screen grab

muted tones

so. ridiculously. sick. of. needing. new. clothes.

couverture + the garbstore

pastels

pastel walls by eyesenough

socks

the selection of socks at kapital was so good that i couldn’t choose my favourites. so here they are in their perfectly arranged psychedelic glory

brooches

peta kruger brooches at alice euphemia

one-offs

well. i sure would love to live with any / all (preferably all) of these beauties…all from the apartment

running

today after ‘work’ i had a quick look around the shops for some running gear (inverted commas used because i don’t work on wednesday, so even though i went in i didn’t get paid. and probably could have done what i needed to do via phone / email, though i didn’t realise that until i got in. annoying).

anyway, i came home empty handed, and went for a run in my still-dirty-from-last-time running clothes (don’t judge: i’ve been busy and the weather has been shitty).

and then i hurt my leg. okay, so i hurt it on the weekend but thought that it was better. i guess not. it’s just a strain, or a pulled muscle or something (are they the same thing? who knows). nothing major, but enough that i limped home barely halfway through my run. lame-o.

anyway, the reason for this (incredibly self-centred) story is basically to give the above clothes context. or a narrative. or something. not that they need it.

gorgeous kantha shawls + bags at quico

indigo

i couldn’t walk past these 1800s quilt panels… what can i say: i’m a sucker for textiles, and old things.

alchemy

i have been on the receiving end of some pretty amazing and generous gifts this week… i feel very, very lucky (and feel like i should be dropping to my knees whilst screaming ‘we’re not worthy‘ or something…).

belinda of alchemy fame sent me over this extraordinary amethyst necklace and pulse point oil. i met belinda recently and she’s super ace and smart and funny and cool, and her work is exactly the same. i am IN LOVE with this necklace, and the ‘let go’ oil is exactly what i need in my life. i am very happy with my gifts, as you can probably tell.

so thank you to belinda, and don’t forget to visit her shop if you want a little piece of awesomeness in your life, too :)
