thrive in truth and grown in grace

how beautiful is the typography and message in these stunning images by todd wendorff.

outdoor spaces

yes we have hit winter, but i still love spending time outside.
especially with the mild winter weather we have in perth.
plus my new apartment has a north facing balcony that catches the sun all day, which is perfect for relaxing with a book or enjoying the view.

here's my inspiration to jazz it up a little...
benches // balcony // caravan // verandah

random loveliness

china // knitted // sequins // give thanks // prague // chocolate

the reassembled self

i am totally inspired by the beautiful colours, shapes and details of this series by artist brent harris.

orbs

a beautiful project titled orbs by photographer carlo van de roer.

wishing you all a wonderful 2013.

christmas is just around the corner

how gorgeous is this photography and type Christmas dinner visual masterpiece.

i'm getting very excited about going home in a few weeks.

there's nothing like a family Christmas.

and i know that in exactly three weeks i'll be with musketeer one enjoying Christmas Eve carols.

(our new Christmas tradition).

right now i'm liking: gorgeous daisies from a darling friend when i was sick // i love the joy and colour in this print // how much would you LOVE to camping here // inspired by this painting with stunning texture // iphone case envy again

random collection

monday always turns into a haphazard day for me.
so just a little random assortment of what i'm liking right now:

old minis: forever classic // any and all aesop products // unexpected details: floral lined envelopes // fun design: a rocket espresso cup // forgotten instax mini pics i found cleaning up.

seriously monday, you're never going to be my favourite.
bring on tuesday.
tuesday is generally a pretty good day.

colour crushing

just some colours i'm currently crushing on.
my favourite vintage scarf and an outfit spotted in australian women's weekly (of all places).

i got nothin' on her!

i get a lot of lovely comments on my chalkboard writing.

but next to this amazing woman my writing looks like pre-school scribbles.

dana tanamachi – you rock!

i'm in awe.
