In a few days I’m going to be doing a small giveaway to celebrate making it to 100 posts, but in the meantime, here are five things I love!
1. Rainbows
Via Home Sweet Home
2. Weddings
Via 100 Layer Cake
3. Red hair and braids
Via Kelly McCaleb
4. Old or abandoned houses
5. Food
P.S. Anybody know where this awesome dress came from?
Things I make and do while I’m ignoring my poor blog.
I also throw them into hot air vents and giggle when they dance.
Wonderful dresses that remind me of mermaids and swans, from Ida Sjöstedt’s Spring 2009 collection.
Velvet & sequins from Autumn 2009 collection.
Via Just Like Honey
Sorry I haven’t been around as much lately – I’m afraid this trend is going to continue for the next month, until school is wrapped up. I joined twitter though, if you feel like following me I’m here. Of course I can’t promise I’ll have anything interesting or coherent to say.
I was so excited to see that Tim Walker & Tim Burton teamed up again for Harper’s Bazaar Magical Fashion issue. Set design is (of course) by the AMAZING Shona Heath, I’d have her babies any day. I’m just going to go ahead and post every picture from it, hope you don’t mind!

Halloween is coming! Do you have a costume planned?
Isn’t Supermarket Sarah the best idea for an online shop? I know I wish I’d thought of it! And in honour of London Fashion Week, stylist Fred Butler has guest-curated a wall full of crazy amazingness, all available for purchase. Great interview with Sarah about it at Amelia’s Magazine.
Past walls for your perusal.
P.S. I think I wanna be a prop stylist when I grow up.
I’m completely enchanted by Ola Dios and the self-portraits she takes with her cats. One of Ola’s testimonials describes her work as “a world of strange, warm magic” which is I think is so lovely and true. I’d like to be in that world right now please!
Best Flickr Group! Love it, and also the sailor dress below.

Speaking of what people wore, you know about What Claudia Wore right? There’s also does a What Chuck Wore! It makes me so happy.
P.S. I don’t get flickr sometimes, like when I’m allowed to use images? I also wanted to post one by Caitlin Quiet but there was no ‘blog this’ option on her image, so I did not ‘blog this’. Am I doing it right?
I haven’t been around much because I’ve been spending a lot of time drawing things. It’s been fun.
You know what else is great? Lists. Today some friends and I sat around listing things we dislike. It was actually really fun since I spend so much time talking about nice, lovely, positive things! A rant every now and then can be enjoyable. My favourite list was thus:
Things I don’t care for that are meant to be fun and other people are nuts about: board games, card games, fireworks, magic, comedy, children (except babies), gig, going to the beach, watermelon, drugs, icecream, monkeys, banana cake. This list basically makes me seem like a horrible person. I’m going to try to like scrabble though! Maybe it will be a gateway game.
Marc Jacobs wowness.
I was kinda meh on the rest of the collection, though I really liked Marc by Marc (especially the menswear) – no revelations but fun, colourful, well styled and cut. Rodarte I didn’t love – amazing theme, the dresses are beautiful when you look at them individually and seperately from past collections but it was still very familiar only in colours I like less.
