action stations!!


recommended reading...

oh yes! there's a whole lot i could say about this book but i'm going to leave it as a definite recommendation to all of you. i had heard a bunch of good reports but honestly, i didn't expect this. a very good effort and a great gift idea for anyone who considers themselves not only interesting, but interested in life and a range of subjects including philosophy, art, history, psychology and much more. coming from someone who is working on their very own novel (i start pitching to publishers in january dear readers so please send me your positive vibes) i can only hope to achieve a similar level of absolute loveliness. i polished this off in under two hours on a rainy melbourne afternoon and it was utter bliss. highly recommended reading. bravo stephanie!

lacroix for moleskine...

you know how you start to invest in things like notebooks at a certain age and if the design caters to your needs then you stay devoted to a particular brand? i absolutely feel that way about MOLESKINE and have been using their diaries for the better part of a decade. so imagine how completely chuffed i was to discover this project spotlighting a very cool array of artists that have personalized moleskine diaries - lacroix fever in the house! witness the brilliance HERE.

love this shot from courtney!!

super shade action: merci zanzan!!

grazie mille to the ultra-cool zanzan eyewear for sending me this excellent pair of sunglasses named 'ortolan' from their latest collection. summer just started in australia so you can bet you'll see these on the beach and beyond shading my face over the coming months ahead. check the complete collection from this rather fancy and super-funky UK-based brand HERE.
