THREADS // MISTER ZIMI

Continuing the journey of global wanderer the latest look book's for Bali based fashion label Mister Zimi see's bold patterns set amongst the contrasting backdrops of lush Balinese rainforest and the rugged desert terrain of an African safari.

I'm loving the luxurious purple and orange against the mix of graphic black and white animal prints.

Fusing modern Australian design with a distinct balinese influence and easy silhouettes Mister Zimi is available online as well as boutiques in Melbourne, Bondi and Seminyak, Bali - a good excuse for a shopping holiday to the island of the gods if you ask me.

Wander by Wesley Bird

If you are yet to discover Society6, get there now!!!

Society6 is a global art collection, where artists can showcase and sell their work. Apart from traditional prints Society6 also convert the art into iPhone covers, laptop covers and clothing. 

I have my eye on this print by Wesley Bird, but I can't quite make up my mind about a new iPhone cover.

cute as a button

Last Sunday was a pink affair for my good friend Bec's 'cute as a button' themed baby shower!
I loved creating these girly invites for the day, but i'm super glad I left the hard part of stitching each of the buttons on to the lady of the hour!
What a great afternoon in the sun. I even went home a little pink myself!

cool kids: lomography

At the top of my Christmas wish list this year is my very own Lomography camera.
Sure, we've all played around with the digital Hipstamatic or Instagram camera apps on our iPhone's but there's just something special about traditional analogue photography straight off a roll of film.

The seemingly humble 'new generation' of Lomo cameras capture soft & dreamy images boasting
super-saturated colours, unpredictable blurring and random contrast. Raw and gritty, lomographs have a character all of their own.

Now, what I can't decide is whether to go for the traditional styling of the cult favourite Diana F+ or one of these amazingly drool worthy new La Sardina Pattern Editions.

The full range of Lomography cameras, film and accessories are available at www.lomography.com where you can also view some fine examples from the photo gallery including the ones below.

inky co.

Last week I was lucky enough to discover a parcel waiting for me on my desk and I do indeedily doodily love parcels, but even more than that I love stationery, so you should have seen the look on my face when I unwrapped these gorgeous notebooks and pen & pencil set from fabulous new stationery brand Inky Co.

Inky Co. is a new Melbourne based stationery and gift wrapping online store launched in 2011 by honours graduate and graphic designer, Chloe, in collaboration with her graphic designer mum, Carolyn (what a family, feel like adopting?).
The Inky Co. philosophy is to design and manufacture in Melbourne using a combination of age old production techniques, like letterpress and flexographic printing, with environmentally friendly materials to produce beautiful Australian made products Chloe and Carolyn both love and love to use.

I'm loving the Inka Earth collection, with aztec patterns and bright bold colours, all made using only 100% recycled paper stock and printed with vegetable inks. Apart from all the stationery goodness, Inky Co also have a delicious blog. Make sure you check it out.


You go girls!
