We glow together

The Irony

Live in Love

  We should honestly recognise life’s absurdity and then live in love

for one another

Black & White Love

Cute couples in black &white. That is all.

Good Fur, Bad Fur

Oh, I do love a good fur jacket, like long fibre, delectably soft, multi-shaded fur jacket. Oh, sheepskin also, a good suede/sheepskin aviator type number. I shall someday soon bust out my multi-coloured rabbit vest (so dreamy soft, and vintage, because rabbits are no longer a pest?)

Clean and Bright

 

Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world.

The Vamoose

 

http://www.thevamoose.com/

The Vamoose (from the U.K) make such lovely jewelery, all preppy and pastel and flowers and chunky gold chains. It makes me want to wear less black and more beigey cream, but more likely just lighter coloured accessories. I love the use of different materials and the bold and crafty nature of their pieces. Oh, and of course the crystals. Love crystals. 

Thanks for the Flickr link Gatito, get well soon xx

Broken

Abandoned cities (especially modern cities) fascinate me to no end. I find it remarkable that someones whole livelihood can be deserted so readily (out of necessity) and the world in which they once shared is left to live out its own life in free rein (like the wild animals of Chernobyl). Most often its creepy, but the above Detroit houses have a certain surrealistic beauty to them.

Painted Walls & Floors

Dreamy Wellington gallery nights that I often do not remember. At least the artwork retains some  wild connotations of their own.

Photos by various friends throughout the night, perhaps all accidental.

Hand Written

This Much I Love titles by Carlita, thanks love! I shall change them up as the time goes.

Sweet and Strange

 

Mick Jagger & Marianne Faithful, Brian Jones & Anita Pallenberg, Keith Richards & Anita Pallenberg, Mick Jagger & Anita Pallenberg. The women of The Rolling Stones, the cutest wee 60s rock n rolla couples.  

PS. 100 years ago from Goats Head Soup, best Stones song.

When I went walking through the woods the other day, and the world was a carpet laid before me. The birds were bursting and the air smelt sweet and strange, it seemed about 100 years ago.

With a bell

Yes, yes, yes, this is what I want my new bike to look like. Currently traipsing through Fitzroy trying to find some renovated old school ladylike bikes, Mamachari come to Melbourne!

Coming home, to Wuthering Heights.

Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights. One of my favourite songs, reminds me of growing up dancing to records near the sea. Just lovely.
