new wardrobe anyone?

Friends of mine left for Europe just before Easter and to say I'm a little jealous of their Roman Holiday is  an understatement. So I went searching in the internet for inspiration and an attempt to take my mind of the fact that my best friend is away for three whole weeks. 

I stumbled across this gorgeous shoot, inspired by a European getaway and fell in love instantly. Although we are heading into winter an Australian Winter isn't really a proper winter, you can get away with wearing beautiful dresses like these and simply layer them up. So it got me thinking and planning what I'm going to wear this winter. What is on your lust have list this season??

Dresses by Anthropologie

what are you up to this weekend?

i'm absolutely loving the 'nook' inspiration via anthropologie. i bought a cardboard safari piece during the week and after seeing this i have been convinced to attempt to clean my little nook, hang my safari piece and finish my quilt. because i'm back at uni, technically everyday is a holiday, but i usually like to work flat out during the week and then have my weekends off to go to the farmers market, have coffee with friends, cook, read, spring clean, be creative or just to do nothing. this weekend i will be cranking the ipod and enjoying the last of this perfect summer weather.

being in australia has its perks, but on the internet it also has some down sides. usually it means that although we are ahead, time zone wise, we are behind and miss out on amazing give aways like the $1000 giveaway on Cup of Jo for EmersonMade. By the time that i got up, went to uni and came back, the comments were at 5000 and there was no chance. i guess i will  just have to go about things the conventional way and buy online, instead of attempting to win them. upside i have been searching for a MOD dress like this for ages...now i can say i have found it!
