studios
is there anything better than blogs devoted to photos of artists studios? i didn’t think so.
these pictures are all of val britton’s immense workspace at in the make.
and, for fellow brit pop tragics, there’s even a visit to justine frischmann’s place (it was so sad when she and damon split, though i never really liked elastica, THOUGH how good was connection and BLAH BLAH BLAH apparently i’m 15 again…).
rugs
i am obsessed with finding a rug for our house. any of these would do nicely, thank you!

my quilt
you can see that as this quilt gets larger, the rows become simpler (and the lines less straight; there’s a reason that this photo is so blurry…).
mash ups
symmetry
(two posts in two days? i know..!)
remember when skirts over pants / trousers were a thing? i’m not talking about last year or whenever when vogue tried to bring them back and we all ignored them. i mean in the late 90s when you used to be able to buy ‘skirts’ sewn on to pants. for, like, $15 in the ‘workwear’ department at kmart or something. eww, shudder, foul, I KNOW.
but also FOUL and FRUSTRATING is how it is nigh impossible to find dresses / skirts at any length other than that shown above. okay; i love these dresses, all of them. and if i could, i would totally wear them (you know i would). but i TOTALLY can’t. they are just WAY TOO SHORT, even that last one. even with leggings or, dare i say, trousers underneath. because i am quite tall – almost 5’10” – and er, quite un-gazelle / giselle like.
i also couldn’t wear any of those shoes; see the 5’10” bit and then multiply that by extreme clumsiness / uncoordination (yes, i know that’s not a real word), but that’s another story.
still: props to peter pilotto because despite my personal gripes this collection is ace.
blue skies
since i last posted i have a) turned a year older, and b) handed in my last assignment for uni (okay: technically i still have to do another 200 or so hours of work experience, but still.)
so here’s some super-electric colour courtesy of marc jacobs to celebrate :)
breaks
…and it has reached that time of the semester where i need to take a blog break.
only one essay left, but it’s due next week and i am having a stall at the camberwell market on sunday AND turn a year older on monday (timing: sheesh).
clearly i need to stop learning the lyrics to ‘harder than you think‘ (true) and start writing my essay which – of course – is proving harder that i thought it would be (SO true). is there a god of irony? if there is, i hate that dude.
wish me luck.

the most amazing illustrations by sato kanae.
i want these on my wall / in a book / on a dress. all at once.
cheery colours
okay, so yes; i posted about that first bag last week. and yes; i’ve pinned those beach towels before.
but really: it’s monday. who doesn’t want cheery brightness on a monday..?!
