too true

The bottom line is that blogging is like sex.

You can’t fake it. You can’t fake passion. 

You can’t fake wanting to engage with the public

If you do, it will ultimately be an unsatisfying experience for both the blogger and their readers.”

raw at heart

 Love Love Love this bed arrangement

Now I know I go on and on and on about Garance Dore and her wonderful sensibilities...but she just has this amazing ability to capture people in a pure light, completely devoid of any sort of smoke screen.

One of her latest subjects has been French jewellery-maker Lara Melchior, who is not only stunning herself, but who also has the most beautiful home filled with rustic collectables and interesting, raw finishes (and yes, i do see the animal theme running through this post also!)

Ah, to live in a light-filled Parisian loft, surrounded by precious metals

The perfect edge for a simple outfit

Summer's coming!

Isn't Jess Hart just a picture of summer perfection in this snap of hers from Italy?

Simple lines, clean cut, perfect accessories

This is definitely how i'd like to be spending my summer (in Italy would be great, but it's hard to beat an Australian summer)

home zoo

I'd like to thank all the little baby cheeses around the world for i have finally landed myself a full time job! It may not be my dream job just yet, but it's a start...and everyone has to start somewhere

As a result I have now made a list of various goods to decorate my house with, c/o rawspace.com.au and haveyoumetmissjones.com.au

And yes, I do realise that together all these objects would result in my house resembling some deranged ceramic petting zoo, but it's the inspiration that counts!

Babe Thursday

It's nearly the end of the week...therefore, we need a babe hit
