Cate Blanchett / Del Kathryn Burton


Remember this post from last year? Well, today I went to the 2011 Archibald Prize exhibition at the Art Gallery of NSW and saw Del Kathryn Burton's most recent painting of Cate Blanchett (wearing Alexander McQueen) and her 3 sons. When you go up close to the canvas, you finally appreciate the intricacy of her work.

Wool & the Gang


LOVE these knitted tanks from Wool and the Gang. Love, love love. They also sell knitting kits and yarn so you can make your own.

(P.S. Looks like I'm not the only one obsessed with knits at the moment!)

Survival of the Prettiest

 I just finished reading Nancy Etcoff's "Survival of the Prettiest"...what a fascinating read. It was written in 1999  but remains highly relevant.

Lands Of Emptiness


I know I've been neglecting the art/design side of my blog...unavoidable since I've started working in fashion, I'm afraid...

This sculpture by Noriko Ambe caught my eye. Found via The Vamoose - she did a gorgeous post on inspiration from Mother Nature.

I Judge

Totally hooked on this tumblr.
