Funky Outfit - with boots!

I posted about some red Hunter wellies the other day, now it seems they're everywhere! That's always the way. How funky is this outfit though? And don't the gumboots just top it off?

Photos that Inspire

Here are some photos that Pip Lincolne of 'Meet Me At Mikes' fame didn't end up putting into her new book 'Sew La Tea Do'. Just gorgeous.

Your brown eyes are my blue skies.

Warpaint are a four girl band from L.A. Their music is described as melodramatic popular song/psychedelic.

This song has been captivating me for a while now:

Op-Shopping

Today I went op-shopping and amongst a few things I bought (three dresses and a linen jacket!), is a gorgeous little pocket watch. It doesn't work, I'll have to get it fixed, but it only cost $4 (can you believe it?!) and it is one of the sweetest little things.

Love - A Guide

I found the wikipedia article on love amusing. It's the first link to pop up when you type 'love' into the search engine.

Love - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

But even more funny is wikiHow's guide on 'how to love'.

The National

The National ended their tour in Australia, moving onto New Zealand, a few days ago, and how much I wish I could've gone to see them. I fell in love with The National around three years ago, and their music, especially this year, has gotten me through some stressful times. This song is one of my absolute favourites.

Fleur Wood

I'm heart-ing these pretty little numbers by Fleur Wood.

Also a few favourites are this, this, and this.

The Middle East

One of many beautiful songs from The Middle East. They also have a lovely website.

Sorry about the video clip, but it's the only one online.

A little bit of glitter

La Nina is making for much rain. Much sporadic rain. Which means that bike rides (spontaneous or otherwise) are becoming hard to do. While I absolutely love the rain (being in drought for so many years creates a firm love for rain, something which I was already prone to liking), so much of it is starting to get me a little bit down, and hindering my outdoor adventures. I thought these beautiful glitter rain drops by Denise Sharp would be sure to de-gloom-ify any rainy day! (And no, that isn't a real word.)
