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.
