John Galliano for Christian Dior
Autumn/Winter Paris Fashion Week 2010

Don't you just simply adore this princess look? It shall be my inspiration for my outfit tomorrow :)

Beautiful :)

And this little piggy went...

to the market!

I do love the Healesville Market. The overreaching oak trees that line the racecourse provide lovely shade (from rain or shine) and the people there are all wonderful. The foods are delicious, the crafts are darling and the outing is such a fine one with my mother, her sister and my grandmother.

Today's collection? Another fairy (naturally) from Conny Deylen and a beautiful bunch of flowers for $4! (See if you can spy the fairy in the picture below)...


Don't they look just like a sunset? :)

This Too Shall Pass

May I introduce to you one of the most awesome videos ever for a music video clip (as so many of OK Go's clips are):




I dare you to not smile at that!

My favourite bit? The umbrellas :) And the pretty rainbow flags :)

Happy Valentines Day!

I made up this delicious platter this morning for my lover. Who doesn't love home made chocolate chip cookies and vanilla cupcakes with candy hearts? :) It was especially delicious after the collection had been sitting in the sun for a while and the chocolate lips had melted- perfect for cookie dipping!

Had an absolutely wonderful day :) Hope you guys did too!

St. Valentines

On 14 February, 1900 - St. Valentines Day - a group of dignified school girls and their teachers went on a picnic to Hanging Rock.





Four of the school girls were granted permission to explore The Rock. After all, they'd only be gone a little while...


Three of the school girls and their teacher disappeared that day, never to return. Never to be found.




Peter Weir's film Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975), based on the book of the same title by Joan Lindsay, is hauntingly beautiful. The soft lighting, soothing but eeire pan flute and ache from the rock combine together to create a absolutely stunning film.


Read a wonderful review here.




While unfortunately I won't be spending Valentines Day at Hanging Rock, I will be going on a picnic with my delightful boy. Very excited :)

Back to School!

Tomorrow is Orientation Day for my new Masters of Teaching course. It's all kind of snuck up on me, even though I've been counting down until I start. (I'm so nervous!) I'm still yet to go out and collect the appropriate books and stationary. So today, while out and about supposedly shopping for groceries I found some goodies :)


My gorgeous new pencil case that features some cute monsters. My youngest brother actually has the same one! Twins!




And then I stumbled across this gorgeous dress...


It reminded me so much of the lovely dresses my mother and my grandmother would make for me as a child, I just simply had to try it on! It's a bit short for my usual liking, but it was just too cute, and for $14, I'm not going to complain :D



In the same store (Tree of Life), my sister found me these stunning earrings, featuring none other than beloved Queen Elizabeth!

How perfect will these be for my History classes? :D

Still yet to get those groceries... Whoops! ;)
