The Animal Nursery

I love this cool editorial in the May edition of Harper's BAZAAR Australia.
Gorgeous, old-world glamour styling, and cute baby animals? There is no way that this could be anything but a winner. The story is by Harper's global fashion director Carine Roitfeld, photographed stunningly by Sebastian Faena.
Here are a few of the shots, but I have to say it looks even better printed in the magazine.

Ruche: Tea For Two Spring 2013 Lookbook

Take a deep breath and prepare yourself.... for the sheer loveliness of Ruche's spring look book!
Hahaha, okay, that fake-out was worst then the ones from the judges on American Idol.
Anyway, getting back on topic; Ruche's look books are always lovely and I love the dreamy, Alice in Wonderland feel of this one. Every single one of the images is beautiful, so you should definitely go check out the full look book here.

currently coveting: Anthropologie

Okay, so there aren't that many things I'd say no to from Anthro, but here are just a few pieces that caught my eye.

Also, this unbelievably gorgeous video that they made while shooting the march catalog

at a glance: upcyclette

upcyclette is an awesome website that sells sustainably and ethically manufactured products made by designers from all around the world.
Every piece is made from upcycled material, from Swiss army blankets to retired German fire hoses, which is pretty cool.

A couple of my favourites;

VuerichB sunglasses Transition n° 473. Made from a skateboard.

Helveticus - Ladies Bowling Bag. Made from vintage Swiss army blankets/

ad:acta Handbag Gleitzeit brn. Made from a castoff A5 ringbinder.

Feuerwear Bag Larry W. Made from recycled fire hoses.

in my actual wardrobe... at Writer's Week

I had a great time on Sunday going to the Adelaide Writer's Week.
Mum, the sisters and I listened to a panel about writing for and about girls with Isobelle Carmody, Justine Larbalestier, and Vikki Wakefield. The next was a talk by Karen Lord, who was absolutely fantastic, and I am now really wanting to read her books (I think I'll start with The Best of All Possible Worlds).
The last was a talk by Scott Westerfeld, who is the author of one of my favourite series. I took along Leviathan to get it signed, which now makes it that much more awesome.

Anyway, this is my first ever outfit post. In fact, it's the first time I've ever done outfit photos, and man is it hard! I had no idea what to do with myself, and I was so focused on that that I ended up with weird facial expressions in most of them. :P

currently coveting: shoes

I have an admission to make; I have a slight obsession with shoes.
I've always thought that in a backwards kind of way perhaps this comes from having troublesomely large feet, which puts shoe shopping in a special category of hell. But then I'm hardly alone in a love of footwear, am I?
Anywho, it's a lot of fun browsing shoes online, and for once that bank account of mine is doing me a favour by keeping me safe from having to consider whether they'd fit, ha!
