Song of the Day

Broken Social Scene-Sweetest Kill

TROUVÉ handbag

Clearly vintage inspired, I'd had my eye on this bag for quite awhile now, and today is the day I finally gussied up the urge to buy it. I really love the scaley snake like texture, and the way it kind of looks like the feminine, more fashionable version of a brief case. One of the best things about it to me is the fact that it fits so many things and has lots of pockets! Really happy with this purchase x

Break the Pattern + Song of the Day

Royksopp - Eple
Had to search EXTENSIVELY through my iTunes library to find this song; I remembered the way it sounded, but I didn't remember what it was called/who it was by. When I got to it I said to myself, how could I have forgotten this was Royksopp? So good, so fun, hope you enjoy x

Things to Want

Doug Aitken: Altered Earth

Doug Aitken: Altered Earth on Nowness.com.

Just a little something I find visually appealing at the moment. Enjoy x

CURRENT/ELLIOTT

Probably one of the more comfy, care-free pair of jeans I own are my CURRENT/ELLIOTT python prints. I remember the feeling I got when first seeing them... it was one of those "I have to have these" purchases. But it wasn't until about three months later that I finally got them on a mega sale where by then, they were only $100. I haven't regretted the purchase since, obviously! I always feel like doing cart wheels when I wear them... even though I've never been able to achieve a cart-wheel successfully in my entire life.

NATARGEORGIOU SS2012

Found the photos of this collection via Filep Motwary's blog Un Nouvea Ideal and instantly fell in love. I love how the collection has such complexity and experimentation with different colours and ways to weld a fabric, yet still keeping it simple and beautiful.

Spike Jonze: Mourir Auprès de Toi (To Die By Your Side)

Spike Jonze: Mourir Auprès de Toi on Nowness.com.

I love the array of emotions this gave me in a span of just five minutes. Co-created by designer Olympia Le-Tan and filmmaker Spike Jonze, this stop-motion short film animation is definitely the best thing I've seen in awhile. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did x

If you have further interest in seeing what inspired the film, you can read two individual interviews of both Jonze and Le-tan, exclusively for Nowness.com.

Song of the Day

The vultures are back (and so is the sun). Thought this song was appropriate on such a fine morning. I can't wait to ride my bike to school in this cool weather! Hope you have a wonderful day x

Alexander Wang: Prisma

So this was pretty much love at first site. It's a very convenient, on-the-go, traveler like large wallet/clutch that carries the bare necessities; cash, cards, phone, passport, pen. The leather is smooth and rich, but the zipper so far is a little tough, especially when it comes to going around one of the edges. I absolutely love the metal corners, very reminiscent of the metal collar craze. There's really nothing bad I can say about this, because I love everything about it, hence why I bought it. I just can't figure out where I'm going to put my cigarettes...
