clouded over.

I've been rather taken by clouds for some time now. Quirky cloud shaped objects have cropped up in homewares alot lately, as many will have noticed. Earlier this week I completed my crafty project for Your Home & Garden magazine around the topic of 'clouds' which I will shall share soon (can't just yet), I am rather chuffed with the result. In the meantime here's some pretty images of clouds by photographer Tom Mannion.

country road.

These images are so cute and country. The colours are soft, and they all have a grainy quality to them which I like very much. See the rest here.

laid back.

Hooray the weekend has arrived, time to relax... or not, whatever the case may be. Enjoy yours whichever way you decide to spend it.

i am love.

The NZ International Film Festival is on in Auckland next month. I'm especially excited to see 'I am love', with Tilda Swinton. The costumes look lovely, with clothes by Jil Sander and Raf Simons. All the scenery and interiors seem amazing too, shot beautifully. It kicks off the festival on July 8th and I'll be there, eager for the room to fade to black. French film 'Gainsbourg' is another on my wish list to see, but there's so many beauts to choose from. I recommend you check some out!

picture this.

An assortment of images I like at the moment. The colours feel nice together - maroons, pinks and various shades of blue.

blue collar.

Some blue and white clothes by Ruby to look forward to this summer. Those exaggerated collars are pretty great.

tarty.

Fresh berries enclosed in sweet sweet pastry make for the prettiest of desserts, not to mention the tastiest.

the girls.

I've been trying to avoid the fact that another of my friends is heading off abroad, but I can't escape it anymore, she leaves for europe in less that 3 weeks! Tis sad. The group seems to be delpleting rapidly.

the warehouse.

These photographs by Frank Breuer are great. So simple and nicely coloured, he manages to make a big commercial warehouse look quite beautiful.

smore please.

Oh my, how delicious do these smores look! Cute styling too, the candy-striped straw and milk combination always works a treat.

bob cat.

Abbey Lee can pull off that bob-cut remarkably well, mostly because she's a total babe.

black and white.

Black with white is a fail safe combination, it always looks sharp. So here's a little outfit inspired by the images below.
