dream and awake

Dreamandawake has a collection of old dresses from around the world. These are all revived through redesign and photography, refining and transforming them into new, unique garments. Each dress is a forgotten beauty, standing strong and ready to find its new owner.

This is making me want to get out my old scrapbooking stuff and possibly bake a cake.

Katie Ermilio

I'm on the lookout for a dress for my Matric Dance (the South African equivalent to Prom) and something as simple and elegant as one of Katie's creations is defintiely on the cards. Although her dresses are a little bit out of my price range and my dance is only in about seven months, a girl can dream right?

Michelle my belle

If I ever had any doubt over whether Michelle Williams was my new girl crush or not (sorry Zooey and Alexa) these photos she shot for Band of Outsiders have her now firmly cemented in my heart. Her pixie bob and quirkyness have me all kinds of swooning. I'm definitely heading out to the theater soon to watch My Week with Marilyn. Have any of you seen it?

These are the photos I took down at the harbour the same day I had my little stalking adventure. I hope you're all having a relaxing Sunday (:

Luke and Jen

Welcome to the home of South African locals, Luke and Jen Pederson. To put it lightly, I am immensely jealous of their home and would possibly give my right arm for a fireplace like theirs. Ok, that was a bit of a fib but you catch my drift.

Everything is beautiful

I just get tickled pink whenever I see people reusing old photographs, the idea of incorporating something with a history into new art. Plus it's always a good thing when it looks super pretty and I want to cover my walls with it! Case in point - Hayley Warnham's collection Everything is Beautiful.

I seem to have taken an impromptu holiday this week from blogging. Sorry! Hopefully I'm nack now (:

I'm adoring the rural settings of these photo's. I think I just wanna go spend a week in the middle of nowhere.

I don't know how they do it but I am obsessed with every house on Alvhem Makleri especially this one.
