I wish my boyfriend was from a galaxy far, far, away.

Where fashion meets star wars these illustration by graphic designer John Woo are almost to cool for school.

It was my favourite one.


Last weekend the Auckland Zinefest was on. I missed it, which made me sad because I really love publications. But now I am no longer sad, because I just found this awesome website called Nieves.
An independent publishing house founded in 2001 and based in Zurich, Switzerland. Nieves focus is on publishing Books and Zines.
As well as their flagship store in Zurich they also have an online store where you can choose from their huge catalogue of publications, there are so many it will definitely be hard choosing which ones to get.

It won't happen overnight, but it will happen.




I love anything done in extreme detail with pen and ink, so you can see why I love these drawings by London based illustrator Mr Bingo.
A better version of NWs name that celeb baby, the drawings challenge you to recognize the famous mops.
Can you guess?

Impress me.

It's been a while since my last post, but I'll try to make up for it.
Grain and Gram is the new gentleman’s journal, or at least that’s what it calls itself. The new website is all about the cool, cool photos, cool people and cool design.
Have a look at this video of Nick Sambrato a young guy with old school letter press skills. He's also a bit of a babe.

Out on the wiley windy Moors

I really love these looks from french fashion designer Vanessa Bruno. They are so soft and feminine but yet, also kind of rugged and tough. Kind of a Heathcliff meets Catherine look a la Wuthering Heights.
Perfect for Winter I think.

Also I Love the fact that Vanessa Bruno has teamed up with Lou Doillon to create this beautiful video for the collection.

These boots were made for walking.

I love shoes, unfortunately though I am cursed with proportional gigantic feet to match my 6ft tall frame so finding shoes of any kind is never easy. Most of the time it's look, and dream of one day fitting.
I would love a new pair of boots this winter, if I had the tiny feet I dream of these are the boots I would get.

To slow for words.

My internet is going slow, I feel like kicking someone. I won't though.
Here is a picture of Ernest Hemingway kicking a can instead.

Fun fact.


I just found out that I share my name with Barack Obamas dads first wife. It turns out he was quite the fillanderer/ladies man he had five wives all together.

Colour my world.

In a few months I am leaving New Zealand to experience the big wide world so I have been doing quite a bit of research into places to stay, I'm going to Asia and India so this doesn't really apply to me but if your planning on going to Brussels it does!
Colour experts Pantone, have recently opened up a Hotel located in the heart of brussels. "The Hotel of colours" designed by Belgian interior designer Michel Penneman and architect Oliver Hannaert feature 59 rooms and suites each decorated with one of seven different Pantone colour palettes.



I would love one of those bicycles.
