Some recent discoveries and thoughts

1. Drinking water through a straw is so much more enjoyable than drinking it straight out of a cup.
2. Rediscovered Suits last week and binge watched the entire fourth season. I wish I could be as witty and quick to think on my feet as the characters on the show. Best reason for watching it is Louis Litt — am I right #Suitors?
3. Udo's 3-6-9 Oil Blend is probably the best invention ever.
4. I no longer find fitness posts on Instagram annoying (*gasp*) due to my new found appreciation for exercise.
5. Annina Mislin's style is always on point.
6. My fave meal lately has been this delicious brown rice bowl recipe (minus the egg and bacon).

BEAUTY LOOK

A touch of gold

THINGS #1

1. Goodhood Store's AW14 lookbook.

2. Edward Gilbert makes a range of leather bags and accessories. This is his new collection "Courtside". Just look at those colours! (via Oyster)

3. Stock watches. Ticks all the right boxes.

4. The floral prints at Marni SS15. Overall a stunning collection. (via Style.com)

beauty favourites

I have been using these products so much lately that I find it kind of amusing to think there was a time I didn't own any of them, let alone cared about contouring, bronzing, highlighting or even filling in my brows. How times change. 

1. Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in Biscuit

2. Nars Contour Blush Duo in Paloma

3. Hourglass' Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil in Dark Brunette

4. The Balm's Mary-Lou Manizer 

on my mind

1. Maru Hand Mirror designed by L + G Studio — a most perfect way to display personal accessories or it could even be used as a mini vanity // 2. Byredo hand-milled soaps — huge fan of everything Byredo // 3. Zoeva makeup brushes  — great quality, from what I've heard, and very reasonably priced (I don't understand why makeup brushes are generally so expensive). I really like the Rose Gold Luxury Set // 4. Marc Jacobs O!Mega Bronzer — on the hunt for my first bronzer! Tossing up between this one or NARS' Contour Blush in Paloma.

an ideal living space

A truly inspirational apartment designed by Adrian Amore Architects. This warehouse conversion, located in Melbourne, combines all the right elements — Carrara marble, geometric shapes, and monochromatic colours. 

the v-neck

For a long time I have steered clear of v-necks and instead worn crew neck tops. This changed recently when I bought a v-neck cardigan from Uniqlo after feeling inspired by the images above. And now it's one of my favourite things to wear! It's a good step towards exploring clothing I have long avoided. Next up: jeans (I know, can you believe it?!). 

pink craze

1. Acne Studios Stace denim jacket // 2. Base Range loose tee // 3. Topshop Unique t-shirt // 4. Jacquemus Number 6 skirt // 5. Lacoste Helaine runners 

Whoever said you shouldn't wear pink was clearly wrong. 

accessory goals

on my mind

1. New season MM6.

2. Dover Street Market bag.
3. Sort of Coal Bincho water bottle.
4. Acne Studios Adriana sneakers.
5. Marc Camille Chaimowicz wallpaper.

6. Sarah and Sebastian Line earrings.

Could this jumper be a tribute to Larry David? 

on my mind

1. Hope Sthlm Chief coat.
2. Sacrifice Your Body. A fantastic new book by Roe Ethridge published by Mack (London).
3. Saskia Diez Papier bags in grey. The perfect overnight/weekend bag.
4. The colour coral.

5. Paradise print by the Blacklist, a Sydney-based graphic design studio. Discovered over on Inattendu.

not everything is as it seems

No, it's not a plastic bag!

to buy or not to buy

Currently in the process of trying to decide whether or not to purchase these Base Range overalls. Basically, I like to get as much wear as I can out of a piece of clothing so before purchasing something I need to see how many different ways I can wear it. 

And instead of doing it in my head, I have put it all down on paper so everyone can see how much of a moronic idiot I am (and how much my printer sucks). But, really, it's quite useful.

back to basics
