7 some new acquisitions

Jules bought me an alexander wang emile last week with tax return money (so it doesn't really count) 

new reads: inside out, AD spain, vogue paris (i know, late again) and aussie vogue

i got a delivery from mamma & the cool, very excited to share this one with you later

i got myself a pack of melty misfits and plan to get a bunch more to try complete the set (and win the one and only golden ticket!)

i also got my new cire trudon 'sinbad the sailor' candle from serin cini, it is my new heaven scent - the perfume of warm sea, lichens, white musk and ginger. i don't know how i'll bring myself to burn her!

2 some more newness

i have been lusting after this serpent & the swan jumper for AGES and i finally tracked one down. i am obsessed with the back detail of this knit, in fact, i am obsessed with the label full stop! shop it here

and new vogues always brighten my week (and yes i know this paris vogue is not current but i buy them late!)

2 deadly ponies/mine

i got the deadly ponies bag i was lusting after - it's a little more structure than i am used to but holds a heck of a lot of booty (more than i need in fact). i thought it came with a longer strap but it doesn't, so i may have to do a little addition at the cobbler. it's a beautifully made bag and i am very pleased as i have been after a black bag for a while now. also, another highlight of the day was vogue arrived! obsessed with the cover...

this video makes me like paris vogue's emmanuelle alt a little bit more

p.s. did you know she was born in 1967?! i thought she was in her early 30's!! those frenchies and their good DNA...

5 le livres

this book of skulls arrived via amazon today. i bought it after seeing it at my friend Bec's place and reading that some of wes lang's work was in it

when i was out shopping with mum for her wedding outfit we had a peruse in miu miu (i wanted to try on the noir sunglasses, i LOVE them) i also spied my original dream wedding shoes on sale, still not in my size, luckily there wasn't some secret batch that came AFTER i bought my shoes to make me feel even worse about it

thanks capture the castle for the deets on this little cutie

and FINALLY, i got my hands on the september issue for a price that i am not embarassed about! sure it has some wear and tear, but what good magazine doesn't? so thrilled i can stop recieving ebay alerts for issues that cost $400...

i loved this shoot by mario sorrenti for the november issue of vogue paris. i don't always like emmanuelle's stuff but this one is a winner. i think i love it so much because its all denim and knits, all cotton, which is the only fabric i can stand to have on my body. i love the rips and tears and the shots of pink, bracelets piled on and mussed up blonde hair. i wish it was winter now!

2 this week

it's a vogue FRENZY this month with vogue UK, vogue australia, vogue living australia and vogue paris and they are all GREAT issues. vogue paris in particular is a beauty this month and it's huge, more like a september issue. my favourite discovery of the issue was kate moss' collection for french jeweller fred. think tiny tiny diamond encrusted stars, moons and anchors and thin as a wisp stacking rings. not sure when/where i can get my mits on some but it's my mission to find out! click here to peep the collection

my sweet, sweet beloved walked past a national geographic shop and bought this for me knowing my love for dinosaurs. this one's great because she is soft and bendable

my beautiful friend jacqui pilfered bought me these gardenias, she got me two big fat bunches and my ENTIRE place now smells of sweet gardenia

finally, i bought two vase options from ebay for the wedding. the ball jar on the left is too tall and slim and the beaker may be too polarizing. it all depends on something special i am waiting on from etsy. i was actually contacted by the florist and she said she may be able to get the vases i desperately want so fingers crossed, not sure how she will react when i tell her we are doing the flowers ourselves! keep you posted peeps...

2 house envy: vogue APT

pics: vogue

i was recently directed to the US Vogue website, specifically to their APT with LSD section and what a gold-mine! this beauty above belongs to fashion designer Minnie Mortimer. i especially love the 70's skateboarding photo and the chunky woven baskets, and how good is the library/dining room? books definitely maketh the room.

my most favourite of all has to be the home of LSD (Lauren Santo Domingo) herself - i love a girl who's as neat and organised as me! check it out below...

pics: vogue

and last, but certainly not least, a room that ticks all my boxes: a Jeff Koons, a latte coloured velvet sofa, insane flooring, high ceilings, huge chandelier, cornicing and those drop dead drapes.

this room sits in the house of Samantha Boardman, M.D. oh to be rich and living in New York...
