catch my breath

Beautiful typography and fantastic imagery, the opening sequence of Catch Me If You Can is awe inspiring no matter how many times you watch it!

love letters

I love stationery, perhaps it's the old school romantic in me, but there's nothing better than finding a hand written letter hidden within a pile of bills. Needless to say, when I found these cute little wooden cards from Pigeonhole I was in love.

kat draws, i love

Melbourne girl, Kat Macleod has been one of my favourite illustrators for years. Not only has she illustrate a bunch of lovely books (here and here) she also makes website Michi Girl beautiful. I can only seem to find her on the web here, but if anyone knows of her actual website,  please let me know!

calling all pigeons

My cousin in Perth has been raving about this great little shop, Pigeonhole, for ages and over Chrissy I finally got to experience as many of these little boutiques as we could get to on foot, in 40 degree heat. Pigeonhole is one of those shops where you walk inside and instantly want to live there. I wanted to deck my apartment in everything I could see, cover myself in all of their clothes, carry my belongings home in their beautiful leather bags, and then take photos of it all with the extensive range of Lomography cameras and accessories available. Not only that, but Pigeonhole is now stocking The Impossible Project. So dust off those Polaroids and get involved!

the horse

I went to Finders Keepers markets at Carriage works a couple of weeks ago and discovered local shoe company, The Horse, creative brainchild of Gabrielle and Scott. Their shoes are whimsical and lovely, I want them all.. along with the wall of plates in the photograph above!

florals, swans, paul & joe

Some beautiful wallpaper downloads from Paul & Joe.

shoes of the rainbow

If Pantone made love with a shoe, this would be their child. I found these shoes while browsing The Cool Hunter today. They're the brainchild of Tim & Fiona Slack (T&F Slack) in London, and they are the epitome of style. I'm sure they come in girl sizes, right?

over the rainbow

Check out some illustrations I've worked on at Pretty Pollution for the Lola vs Harper April lookbook.

gorman a/w 2011

I love it when an Autumn/Winter collection is filled with bold colour and pattern. With burnt orange, rich navy, polkadots and stripes, who wouldn't want to run around, dry leaves crunching under their Gorman boots?

business as usual

This is what happens in Surry Hills when no-one's watching. A beautiful song and film from Boy & Bear - check them out here and here.

rainy day games

It's been raining for 3 days now. Not just raining. It's been put-on-your-swimmers-because-you're-swimming-home-from-work raining. This calls for one thing... Scrabble! So here are some gems I found on Etsy this arvo.

the wanderer

Yesterday I went window shopping... and then I saw One Teaspoon. A whole shop of it. I walked in warning "you are not allowed to let me try anything or buy it." That lasted about a metre, and an hour later walked out with a silk hawaiian shirt, olive silk dress with vintage diamontes and a lace bra. Check out their website and you'll understand what went so wrong (and how I got it so right).

marie antoinette

Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette makes me so happy. Pastels, macarons, florals and lace, and of course, an incredible soundtrack.

thinking of japan

I'm sending all of my love and support to Japan, where so much destruction is causing pain to millions of people in Japan and throughout the world. My thoughts are with everyone, it's amazing to watch love bring so many together in the face of tragedy. 

american dreaming

Beautiful photography from Harper Smith. I love the muted colour pallet and nostalgic feeling of the photos on this site. I'm dreaming of an American road trip in an old Kombi, wearing a flanno and Ray Bans, I want to frolic in the desert alongside cacti and tumbleweeds.

for the love

Hi, I'm Erika. I'm a graphic designer from Sydney. I spend far too much time browsing the internet for for beautiful things that inspire me, so I thought maybe I could share some lovely things with others too. So to get started, I'm kind of cheating by posting my own bicycle, it's currently parked here.
