Feather Decor

This Saturday, we went to the Duck Park. I collected a variety of duck and goose feathers, and was contemplating making a feather headband til' I came across this post on feather decor from Apartment Therapy.

I'm not sure how much I'd like to have feathers floating around in my room (I was scared of feathers when I was little, and I'm still not a huge fan of them), but it's something that would also look good in a lounge or a passage. Hmmm.

Immortelle ♥

You know, sometimes you smell something, and it takes you somewhere else? In another time? In another place? 

's what happened to me when I took a whiff of the lovely Immortelle range by L'Occitane. I was transported to the pine forest of Ooty, where I'd picked up a big bunch of these flowers. They were tiny, plasticky flowers (seriously, they feel fake!) and they stay on like that for a long long time (hence "immortelle"). I loved their perfume then, I love it now! I'm going to scout for these flowers in Auckland now. 

Anyway... the Immortelle range is a little out of budget for me (and can I say unnecessary? It's all about anti-aging!), but I did get a little Verbena Solid Perfume. It's for $25 and it comes in a puny tin case. Verbena is their Lemon/Citrus range, and I love the perfume. 

If you like Citrus-y fragrances, do try it on the next time you're in a L'Occitane. It looks like this.

Gold sequined top from Suzanne Grae. Should I get it, should I get it? (taps on chin)

Painted Cookies

Right, well, so I saw these cookies by Maggie Austin while blog-hopping this morning, and I couldn't not post about them. These aren't mere cookies, dear ones! Each of these is a work of art. I love, I love.

Oh, and I be following Miss Coco Rocha from now. I really like her blog.

Psst. Want some more cookie-related posts?

Rose Cottage

I know that this is a granny-type cottage, and it's not everyones style... but I love Roses (and Peonies!) and I love this cottage. I'm inspired by just looking at the prettyness. And it greatly reminds me of my Moroccan Rose Body Mist (from The Body Shop). Click here to see the rest of the cottage!

And my room's not that greatly designed or anything, but I've tried to follow a pink-and-white theme. Maybe I'll gather up the courage and post pictures sometime. :)

Here's a good fabric tape tutorial. For prettifying your Christmas presents.

Gold and White

Gold and white is my favourite colour combination at the moment. I love how super clean and peaceful it feels.

Some gold-tinged things I found on DesignMom ...

These gift wrapping ideas (and a DIY):

Pretty gold things.

This beautiful Norwegian home. I love the use of white in this house, but won't it be hard to maintain?

And this dress. I found it while searching for a dress pattern that my friend's going to sew for me! How exciting! :)

Glitterati

Not a big fan of shoes, but these made me smile. :)

Aaand a tutorial. If you're one of those DIY types. :)

Christian Louboutin Glitter Pumps

A little sunny today.

While searching for a sunflower image for a project, I came across this beautiful painting.

I don't know who it's by, but it's something I'd love to see every day as I start up my computer! {my current desktop wallpaper is this}
