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.

Colourful Tuesday: Every Eskimo

Colourful letter blocks from Every Eskimo. Check out the Etsy shop as well as the Blog for some sweet crafts and vintage items.

Wool and the Gang

Wool and the Gang are about quality wool and simple, easy knits that even beginners can get excited about. You can buy a kit, a pattern, some wool or the finished product. I love the Snood Dogg scarf (above right).

I still have to finish knitting the jumper I started last winter but then I'll be right on to it. Promise.
