Seriously, WHAT!

For some reason the blog isnt showing up properly, so testish post to see if it will work.

--------------

Okay, so that was really, really random. For some reason Blogger didn't like a post that I had made so it stuffed up my entire blog. So I had to delete that post, it wasn't the most riveting of posts but it is still annoying that that is what had to be done in order for my blog to be visable again. hmpht.

notebooks.

One can never have too many notebooks, I was just reading this topic over at the frankie forum and I realised that I do in fact lust after too many notebooks.

A long time favourite has, of course, been Moleskine. I've only ever had one of their notebooks before, one of the City ones but I think that I might have to get another one after seeing this 2010 dairy of theirs.

It is a day a page dairy and as we know they cans be quite bulky and hard to carry around, so Moleskine have thoughtfully split it into 12 little notebooks but with a hard cover to keep them in when not on that month. I think I'm in love.

Another brand that I am fast falling for is O-Check. they have some pretty adorable designs.

And I have got to stop talking about notebooks because I get payed today and I might just be tempted to blow a large chunk of it on them.

Not all of them are notebooks per se but they are all papergoods so I think they count.

Emma Watson

Being an avid Harry Potter fan from way back when the third book came out I was pleasantly surprised when Miss Watson appeared on the cover of the current issue of Teen Vogue.

Having only just watched the first movie when it was on T.V. last weekend I couldn’t help but wonder where the time had gone, and when Emma had had the time to grow up, despite our being the same age.

I adore these Miu Miu teacup heels. They come in two different styles and quite a few colours but these are without a doubt my absolute favourites.

rain, rain.

These shoes are the perfect ones in which to do a rain dance. As I hate summer and would love to bring in winter a little bit early this year as soon as I saw these beauties I couldn't help but feel as if they would complete the perfect rain dance ensemble to usher winter into 2009.

Exchange

“He had a whole collection of beautiful notebooks himself. He loved stationery. But he hardly ever used it. Like his gran he felt that he’s be spoiling it, even trying to put his ideas onto paper. He’d tried a couple of times, but become too embarrassed and self-conscious in the attempt. By now he knew that he’d never be a writer. ‘We’re readers. That’s what we are,’ he told his gran. ‘And we read enough to know that we can’t do it. To know that writing is hard.’”

Vintage frames

A while ago while I scouring the internet for vintage looking frames for photos I came across these frames - as in glasses - saved them on my computer and found them again yesterday while I was attempting to organize the files on my computer.

This pair is rather nice and are surprisingly from Apperican Apparel






These ones, which I love but cannot remember where I got them from.

And these loverly ones. I just love the model as well, don't you?

Superman supergirl, show me your stuff

too true, too true.

ps. I really did used to love that song by Killing Heidi

Little hearts

I wish people would walk around with little hearts on their forehead, so I could press it when I decided I liked them.

OMG yes completely.

What does 'Love' mean?
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, 'What does 'love' mean?' The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined.

'When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.'
Rebecca- age 8

.anthropologie.

As I was reading all the blog posts from my favourite blogs that I missed while I was away I came across a post from Sally Jane Vintage about the fashion line Anthropologie and have (as I do) fallen completely in love with some of their pieces. Particularly this bag and these shoes.

page.a.day Shoes

While I was in Canada I bought a page-a-day 2009 desk calendar, so it unlike most of my books actually made it home with me. It is a absolutely fabulous collection of shoes and I'm going to share my favourites with you through out the year. As it is nearly the end of February (and I have only been home with my scanner for a little while) here are my favourites from the beginning of the year to now.

I wish I had a apple tree. - Today I want.

one.





An apple tree, a pink lady apply tree.

I moved house in September and had to leave my apple tree behind, I really want another one as I very muchly love my pink lady apples.


two.



A goldfish. Well actually I want two and I shall name them George and Mildred.


three.

A MacBook. I really, really, really want a MacBook. It really sucks not having your own computer and having to borrow from friends. Only I cant really afford one at the moment so I'm going to have to wait until I get back to Australia.


four.

A BlackBerry. I cant decide between the Bold and the Curve. Any ideas?

Today I love

one.

Snow. I've been in Canada for over a month now and I'm still not sick of snow. Snow is pretty and snow is fun and get this - snow crunches. Yes seriously, snow crunches when you walk on it! Can you believe it? No I can't either. I had no idea it did this and got the biggest shock the first time I walked on snow. It has been snowing pretty much all day today covering all the dirty mucky brown snow of days gone in its pretty new white snow look. I didn't take this photo (found it somewhere on Google) but is is very, very close to where I'm staying and outside looks like this only with snow EVERYWHERE and a lot deeper. I've taken quite a few photos today only I have no idea where the coard to plug my camera into the computer is and have no hope of finding it because it is lost in my room back in Australia.



- it's a couple of days later now, 'cause I had to surrender the laptop and never got to finishthis post, and the snow is starting to melt :( I no longer feel like i am in Canada, apart from the snow covering thr ground it felt like an Australian autum today. Very dissapointing. I like my winters cold thank you very much.

two.

Winter clothes. Jackets and scarves and boots and hats.



- a couple of days later again and I bought a very lovely hat today. This hat infact, from Jacob.
