REMINISCING



For some reason I have been reminiscing about Paris alot today.

For lunch I had a croissant & cafe au lait.
Greeted customers at work in French.
Met a 'parisian' at work and spoke about our favourite places and where I stayed.
Gazed at this
Listened to this


I wish to live there again*



*I was there for one month, but I'm counting it as living there!

STORE CRUSH






L O V E ,  L O V E ,  L O V E


Words can not describe how much I love Fenton & Fenton's wares.

The eclectic collection of home wares, antique and reproduction furniture combined with vivid textiles, taxidermied animals and artwork make for one incredible retail space.

Founder Lucy Fenton expresses her style that dares to mix and match objects, origins and eras.
The result is so inspiring I want pretty much everything.


The above images were styled by the very talented Mr. Jason Grant and shot by Felix Forest in December 11'.

I am in complete awe.

I HAVE A TUMBLR



I've started up a TUMBLR account




This is my current moodboard where I post random bits & pieces

Hope you find as much inspiration from it as much as I have from others

BEACH GETAWAY






Early this week I escaped to the beach with some friends.

We camped.
Caught some waves.
Laughed til' our stomachs hurt.
Ate delicious food.
Drank the best iced coffee and coconut cocktails.
Relaxed.

VIBRANT









Locations from Top: Cinque Terre, Gelati in Florence, Lake Garda, Capri

An assortment of snaps I took in Italy last year, mixed with some added brightness.

I loved that Italy was full of vibrant colour everywhere you looked - whether it be from the buildings, the fashion or the amazing gelati!

TEA LABELLING

 



Today I have re-organised my T2 Tea collection into these little glass canisters.
I love them stacked in the colourful T2 boxes, but they do not keep well.
At least this way they will stay airtight and look great individually labelled.

Might be time to buy some more, as I've realised most of the boxes were empty and I've ran out of Chai and Peppermint.

AUNT LIL'S KITCHEN





(Photos taken from my Iphone)


Current food Obsession - Soft Pretzel's.
Therefore new favourite place - Aunt Lil's

If you are not familiar, let me introduce to you this gorgeous little kitchen in the Highpoint Shopping Centre, Melbourne.

Aunt Lil's mission is to 'provide fresh-baked products made with the freshest natural ingredients - baked just the way Aunt Lil baked - with heart'.  The traditional homemade recipes stemming from Eastern Europe include a variety of soft pretzels as well as fruit buns, frozen & greek Yoghurt, and health Bars.

The decor is just lovely. The rustic timber tables are decorated with vintage cans and native plants. The seating is a mixture of industrial hessian covered stools and timber chairs, with a section of industrial bar stools in front of a cute blue paneled wall. Little clusters of vintage props including scales and mixers are scattered around the premises. I also love that you can see the cooks making the food as you walk by.

My favourites are the Cheese & Olive Pretzel with Aioli dipping sauce and the Cinnamon Pretzel's are just delicious.

Do try if you are in the centre, you will instantly become a fan.
