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: slumber supplies

Everyone loves a lazy day- full of relaxation, cups of tea, and snuggling up on the couch- right?
Well, I certainly do, and I would be perfectly happy to cuddle up and get comfy with these lovelies:
