that is all.

winter clothes, la la la

i haven’t played around with Polyvore for a while. i have a love/hate relationship with fashion. i do love it for its prettiness; the fantasy of being the type of person who wears beautiful and interesting outfits is certainly a pleasant one, but at the end of the day i have so many more important things in my life. important to me, anyway. travel, food, my family, my little home, my creative dreams, et cetera. you know what i mean?

but thinking about clothes and putting together outfits sure is a lot of fun. here are a couple of sets i’ve made. the first one is for me, and the second is for Tim (i’m very generous in my Polyvore-ing). i actually adooooore several of the included items (grey knit by See by Chloe, 3.1 Phillip Lim skirt, Paper plane bag) but i’m not in the market for $500 jumpers any time soon, unfortunately.

Things I Love – Friday 17th April 2009

+ love letters.

+ my new iMac which should arrive by the end of April! I am so excited about this. Not only does it mean no more ruining my posture by hunching over a laptop whilst sitting on the couch, but it also means I will finally be moving on from OSX 3.11 and 2GB of RAM. Also, me and Ben Folds can hang out and make some music!

+ http://www.foodandart.com

+ World Sweet World magazine – I picked this up from a lovely needlework bookshop in Wellington. Their blog is here.

+ I may have posted about this tote bag blog before. But it’s so cute.

+ I am pretty much in love. A whole NY Times section on pickles!!
it includes such gems as Nigella waxing lyrical about chutney, and an article on the the revelation that is Kool-Aid pickles. I might attempt the pumpkin chutney this weekend.

+ Blurb books. I love Charlotte’s family annuals, and I am so inspired!
I’ve made photo books before (we did a wedding one for Tim’s mum and dad) but I love the idea of having a collection of my favourite photos, just of the little things, all in one nicely printed and bound book. Now to decide between Apple books and Blurb books (and any other photobook companies).

Flickr favourites – Saturday 07-03-09

some love from my Flickr favourites. thinking and dreaming about travel, and actually booking stuff too! i had a call first thing this morning, informing me of CHEAP FLIGHTS yayayay. so in September i am going to New Zealand’s South Island for ten days, with husband and two good pals in tow. it’s going to be great. i’ve thus far only seen the very tip of the South Island, so i’m very much looking forward to seeing snowy peaks and glaciers and spectacular photo opportunities. not to mention the food and wine…
