Colourful Tuesday: Akira

Spring/summer 2010 look book pics from talented Melbourne-based designer Akira Isogawa.

Kate Moss does stripes... again.

...and my obsession with stripes continues. Love the stripes, leather and fluff combo by the almighty Kate. Pic via Le Fashion.

Friday Etsy finds : Arctic creatures

Find these adorable handmade arctic finger puppets, felt narwhal (with sound box!) and other lovely creatures at BabyAnimals.

YesStyle Australia is here!

I've blogged about Korean online shop YesStyle before but I have just received an email announcing the introduction of a dedicated Australian site. No more expensive shipping and exchange rates. Me so happy :)

This a small selection of some favourite stripes on offer.

Bring on winter already

It's a very hot day in Melbourne and all I want to do is go back to Maligne Lake in Jasper National Park, AB, Canada (above pic) and just sit there for hours. Hmm...

Colourful tuesday: Samantha Robinson

Gorgeous porcelain pieces by Sydney artist Samantha Robinson. Find it at Paddington market or Bondi market.

Friday Etsy finds : Throwback Vintage

Find pretty, feminine things at Portland based shop Throwback Vintage. I'm thinking of getting that puffy-sleeved grey marle sweater...

Label focus: Gudrun og Gudrun

Based in the remote Faroe Islands, Gudrun og Gudrun make the most beautiful knits. I would love to get there one day (as well as Iceland, Svalbard and Greenland).

Alexa Chung for Madewell

So excited about the upcoming Alexa Chung range for Madewell that I can't wait until Fall 2010. I'm planning a flying visit to NYC in March/April and was going to stock on some more Madewell jeans (love my skinny ankle in dazed) but Alexa's range will not be in store yet... hmmph.

The pics above are current Madewell range so hoping that this gorgeous Mayfair dress will still be in stock in March.

Fashion at the rink

As a wannabe hockey player I spend many hours at Melbourne's only ice rink (the new Icehoouse will be opening soon though). Fashion highlights at the rink are very few and far between so you can imagine how pleased I was to discover Sally Scott's catalogue. Pure vintage-inspired winter magic!

Friday Etsy finds : Figs & Ginger

Cute necklaces from Figs & Ginger. Nuff said.

Photography : fadedfilmstrips

Her profile reads: Nineteen, socially awkward, and living behind my camera. I like that. Check out fadedfilmstrips photostream on flickr.

Label Focus: Humanoid

Dutch label Humanoid has been around for 26 years yet I have only just discovered it. Beautiful fabrics and soft draping makes for very desirable pieces.

Colourful Tuesday: Wrist Worms

Cute & colourful wrist warmers handmade by Swedish illustrator/designer Sandra Juto. Available here. I also love the prints.

Friday Etsy finds : Cinderella shoes

These shiny vintage sandals are so pretty and so tiny (size 5.5). Perfect for partying all night long. From Ma Petite Amy Vintage.

Artist focus: Marisa Fjarem

Swedish artist Marisa Fjarem's work speaks for itself. Massive talent there.

Colourful Tuesday: A Little Hamster

If you like tassles (and I do) you'd be wise to check out A little Hamster. Very cute.

Monday mantra

I'm suffering from serious Mondayitis (and lack of sleep due to a feline wake up call at 5:30am). Doing my best here.

Friday Etsy finds : Bunny & Sparrow

Sweet Bunny and Spotted Sparrow necklaces from MD Sparks. Cute.

Perfection

Titled an American in London, this pic by The Sartorialist is my kind of look. The grey marle top over a white tee, the ripped jeans and of course the oxfords (I have a pair just like it!). If it was me though there would probably be stripes in there somewhere.
