Oh Paris

Snippets of Paris via Messy Maisies

The more photos I see of Paris the more I desperately want to travel there! My lovely blog friend Tina recently spent a week in Paris staying in a furnished apartment (you can see Polaroids from her trip here and here ) Oh how Id love to do that! Id spend my days exploring the city and flea markets with a camera in hand. Or sitting in a cafe sipping coffee and eating yummy pastries.

Where do you really want to travel to?

Topshop Unique AW 2010

I don't usually post runway shows (in fact I think this is the first time Ive posted one) I'm much more inclined to browse lookbooks . But whilst surfing my favourite blogs I came across this woodlands inspired collection from Topshop Unique (via Kisses and cross stitches). This is a runway show Id love to see!!

I love this cute drink themed notebook collection, with a pretty colour pallet to match. Thailand designer Tohid of Bold Ideas came up with the idea whilst sitting in a cafe at Siam Square.

I've found a place with the carpet of my dreams.
Think vintage rose pattern, ooh the photo shoots I could do. It sure beats the brown carpet in my current place. Although I think it might clash with my floral couch...oh no, I think Im becoming my mother.

Keller SS 2010 Lookbook

A cute and fun lookbook for Keller Spring Summer 2010 (discovered via Lushlee). Keller is an independent line of clothes and shoes made by Brooklyn-based designer Kelly Clark.

Clark began the line in 2008 to create pieces that were subtle yet effective—an antidote to fashion excess. Hers are clothes to slip on, love, and wear unbothered. Spare without sparing character, they are made to function—then are left alone for the wearer to make her own.

Also Ive decided to file these lookbook type posts under fashion, some I wasnt sure and filing under photography. But Ive decided to keep photography to more flickr and undiscovered finds.

Hannah from Hello Mr Fox is my new op shopping and vintage finds idol. I couldn't stop looking through all her gorgeous finds she posts on her blog. I'm inspired to go op shopping in my lunch break today!
