Anna Dello Russo - Net-a-Porter Shoot


The fashion darling Anna Dello Russo did a photo shoot with Net-a-Porter and it looks amazing!

She must have the most fabulous life! 

She has so much fun with clothing, 
fashion and jewelry. 

 I wonder what she wears around the house?

If there ever was a closet to explore it would be hers!

Mina + Oli - It's all in the details


Not many people get to see the little details of a Mina + Oli handbag. 

Most handbags have plain boring linings. I think why should the outside have all the fun?

I want to open my handbag and see a beautiful, colourful, and happy textile delight that makes me smile! 

Here are a few of my favourites.

CocoRosie


I saw a poster on the street the other day that one of my favourite bands are coming to Melbourne.
I usually never get to see any bands I like, I’m either too poor or missed the boat. 

Low and behold I got a ticket!! 


CocoRosie is the genius music of sisters
Bianca and Sierra Casady.
 It's haunting, strange and pure gold! 
It's some of the only music that gives me that tingly shivery feeling when I listen to them. 

I plan on painting my face coco style and hopefully can take some pics to report back!!
