the sprout and the bean

For those who have not heard her yet, you MUST check out Joanna Newsom!!

I've just purchased her new album 'have one on me' from itunes after tuning in on her beautiful sound throughout the day on triple j continuously for the last few months.

I seriously start to wonder why something so amazing was held from me for so long and I think of all the times when I could have listened to her music. 

here's her beuatiful video for 'sprout and the bean' ^.^

SERIOUS MUST HAVE for me right now but I am having trouble finding a good pair in any of the retails stores (even considering how popular they are at the moment). I can't say I've ever loved a type of shoe as much as I LOVE the look of these. The styles are endless, the two-tones amazing and there are so many variations. 

Here's some of my favourites currently listed over at etsy...

 

  

 

 

This is the type of shoe (obviously one in every colour ^.^) that you could wear with ANYTHING... 

repeat after me: i am free

i LOVE when the new FRANKIE is released as it gives me plently to blog about and share with the rest of you!!

One thing I've had a bit of an obsession with lately is brooches, and to tell you the truth I do not own one. Yes, sad isn't it. The more I become interested in fashion the more I notice the little things that dress the outfits up to make them unique. I've been hunting around for somewhere that has something to catch my eye and heart and I'm certain that KISSYFACE by RikkiB has what it takes to do that. 

Her personalised brooch collection includes some of the great scientific names (my favourite in the store - Carl Sagan). You can also find an assortment of brooches/rings/earings/necklaces staring various icons, animals, films and the opportunity to submit a custom order.

Take a peek inside her etsy store here.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY...

to all you little cupid victims (and seekers ;-p) out there and across the oceans.

I thought it a wonderful chance to feature a gorgeous little etsy shop that inspired me today. I've got the thrifting bug at the moment (again..) and felt the need to spend my weekend searching the online and local op shops. Had some pretty good finds including a fake gold and porcelain style pendant, an aquabella loose fitting top (could not believe I found this...and in the kids section, think they thought it was actually a dress for a little person) and a baseball styled jersey with car motif ('full blown - all muscle, no hustle'). I could have kept thrifting but I forgot that they close early on weekends.... will have to make up for it throughout the week on lunch breaks :)

Here's a look at some of the current items in IN LOVE AGAIN's etsy shop:

At the moment there is a FEBRUARY SALE with all items at 20% off, so jump in there and grab some bargain vintage pieces {inloveagain on etsy}

I hope everyone has a great start to the week 

XxX

every valley is not a lake

You got your father's wreckless charm, babe
Long as you give, some body will take
Well, every story is not the gospel, babe
Let me put it in another way
Every valley is not a lake

in this world - there is you & me

cori kindred

Amazing little store i found via lushlee ^.^ Cori Kindred specialises in mixed media crafts and photography encompassing earthy undertones and the natural world. She has two open etsy stores, once with products of her own imagination (cori kindred) and the other of her estate sale and thrift finds (mushroom and moss).

The first seemed particularly appropriate considering Valentine's Day is only just around the corner and those that follow were just too gorgeous not to feature.

black magic

found over on fashion gone rogue today whilst I was finding some inspiration for today's photoshoot with Ellen.

I absolutely adore the heavy fringe and the feathered dress. I've seen a few skirts and dresses around with feather details and whilst I rarely go out to be able to wear such a beautiful outfit, I really thing I might just get one anyway - you never know when it will come in handy :)
