Things I Love Thursday

Photo key:
1. Striped, 2. Untitled, 3. KK, 4. Dynamite, 5. Too Many Notes, 6. it’s getting colder, 7. Untitled, 8. Motherf#cker Halloween at the Roxy, 9. my ugly feet, 10. Untitled, 11. Motherf#cker Halloween at the Roxy, 12. blow up, 13. i’m having a conversation, 14. 10_6_4, 15. tara toes, 16. poised ballerina

<3 Soft, neutral colours — I am on a bit of a placid colours kick. I am obsessed with white & soft pink & moody shades of blue-grey & cream. I cannot explain it. I feel like my brain is unwinding from the year & moving towards gentle colours is just one facet of that. They make me very happy.

<3 Dry shampoo — Some lovely iCiNG cuties (namely Sarah & Iris) recommended it to me, so I went out & bought some! The brand in question? Klorane gentle shampoo with oat milk. It comes in a can, & basically you spray it at your noggin, leave it for a couple of minutes & then brush it through. The results are incredible! You could easily go without washing your hair for days if you had this. It would be fantastic on long road-trips, camping excursions & other acts of torture where you are required to be without water or basic conveniences for a long time. I think this is the sort of thing EVERYONE should have in their bathroom cabinet, just in case. Consider it part of your fashion emergency kit.

<3 Seewantbuy.com — Recently launched, Seewantbuy is an excellent way to get your paws on lots of great clothes from high-quality, reasonably-priced labels like Ladakh & Wish! (Ladakh especially is excellent value for money, I own a lot of their pieces.) They have lots of basics, a really glamorous maxi dress, a drop-dead gorgeous trench & many other things for your excited perusal!

<3 That Extra Half an Inch: Hair, Heels & Everything in Between by Victoria Beckham — My boyfriend brought me back a copy of this from London, & it is AMAZING! I have never read a more comprehensive book on style, seriously. I know some of you dislike V.B. for various reasons, but say what you will, the girl can dress. The inside of the book says “with Hadley Freeman”, so I guess she had some help (Hadley is a contributing editor to Vogue), but the whole thing is really well-written, hugely informative & full of glossy pictures. Even better, the photography is by Ellen Von Unwerth, my favourite photographer of all time! HOORAY! This book gets 5 cupcakes out of 5, so be sure to add it to your Amazon wishlist or snap it up NOW!

<3 Turbans from Topshop — Another thing my boyfriend brought me back from London was a collection of satin turbans from Topshop! One was silver, one was turquoise & of course, he also snapped up the ever-practical black! He is so great, he even texted me from the shop to see which colours I wanted. I love them! They are so fancy, & are going to get a lot of wear.

<3 Shopping for cute underpants — Every now & then when your life gets complicated & the weasels start closing in, the only real cure is to load up your mp3 player & go shopping like a bastard for silly, adorable, inexpensive underwear. Allow yourself a budget of, say, $30, which will nab you several pairs & simultaneously give you intense gratification. This almost always makes me feel better. Excellent choices include briefs printed with Dr Seuss characters or Hello Kitty, though panties proclaiming “Will do anything for chocolate” & other ridiculous phrases should be avoided at all costs! Sometimes, even if you can’t find anything you like, spending a bit of time thinking about colour combinations & seams can be very therapeutic. I know it sounds crazy, but it’s true!

<3 Classic wooden HB pencils— I very rarely use pencils but I love the way that old-fashioned HB pencils look, especially the ones which are painted yellow & freshly sharpened. I would kind of like to have a dozen of them in a vase, a cross between an art installation, a stationery jar & a flower arrangement. They also look good skewered through long hair pulled up into a chignon, which I cannot do yet, but someday!

<3 Paramore — They’re the definition of pop-punk, which normally drives me crazy, but I reeeeeeeally love them! (Hayley Williams is also a major cutie.) I think their best songs are “Conspiracy”, “Franklin”, “For A Pessimist I’m Pretty Optimistic” & “Misery Business“.

<3 A dozen assorted donuts from Krispy Kreme — Especially after you’ve been craving them for HOURS! My favourites are the strawberry & cream filled ones… Yum! I also recommend having them for breakfast. The sugar-crash is a bit epic but the taste sensation is, uh, sensational!

<3 6% Doki Doki — A shop in Tokyo which I am DYING to visit! Click on “Shop Tour” for pictures of the store — they have carousel horses & everything! Then, click on “Girls Icon Tee” for an example of their wares. Oh my god. I would die happy if I owned any of those t-shirts. Especially “Lovely Stomach”, how incredible is that?! Aaaaiiieeeeeeee! They have an online store but it is all in Japanese, so I have no idea what it says, but clicking on the pictures is fun anyway…

<3 Planning holidays — I LOVE planning holidays! I adore doing all the research & getting good deals & working out what I want to do. Even though I don’t really know where we should go… We would like to rent a car & drive somewhere lovely over the Christmas period. I am keen on staying in a place that is on the lavish side. I am idly considering Byron Bay but it would be a two-day drive & I think it might all the tourists might send me off the deep end… Suggestions?!

<3 Paul Arden — Author of It’s Not How Good You Are, It’s How Good You Want to Be & Whatever You Think, Think the Opposite. I love him. He is a genius. I would like to photocopy the pages of his books & then wallpaper my house.

Paul Arden

“I think we delight to praise what we enjoy because the praise not merely expresses but completes the enjoyment; it is its appointed consummation. It is not out of compliment that lovers keep on telling one another how beautiful they are; the delight is incomplete until it is expressed.” — CS Lewis

Super-love & cupcakes,

(2) walking home through the sunshine and amazingly-coloured fall leaves, smiling and talking to the (3) charming little ducks in the orchard by my house!
    Ah, I love autumn.

    <3 Amy · Oct 25, 01:25 PM · #

  8. Ohhhh, what a lovely CS Lewis quote – so true! And I am now “2 of 2 holds” for VB’s book at the library.

    Pencils – love ‘em! If I need to do a lot of planning/drawing/writing, I find using a pencil helps the ideas flow more comfortably – maybe because it’s erase-able, or a softer colour than ink, or maybe it’s just the feeling of graphite sliding over paper . . . I don’t know.

    Holidays: Summer always means Houhora to me – all those beautiful and varied Far North beaches within easy reach :-)

    My TiLT list:

    - Thinking about things to put on this list all week.

    - Margot Fonteyn (often with bonus Rudolf Nureyev).

    - The unlooked-for prospect of being whisked off to Wellington for my birthday, staying in a hotel with the man, going to an awards dinner – how grown-up and sophisticated!

    - Gorgeous friends to the rescue.

    - Reading ‘Nick & Norah’s infinite Playlist’ by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan in one go. Beautiful.

    - Being inspired to re-sort my fash-mag tear-sheet Folders of Inspiration. Finding and updating my dream home&garden Folder of Inspiration.

    - Planning to bang up nails in my hallway, string some monofilament, and peg up lots&lots of photos.

    (Am I supposed to apologise for a long comment? Is that correct protocol? Or should I just Own It?)

    <3 Nadine · Oct 25, 01:34 PM · #

  9. today i love dictionary.com ,too faced cosmetics and winning a $2500 gift card from david jones!

    <3 pam power · Oct 25, 01:40 PM · #

    <3 Jay-Jay · Oct 25, 02:35 PM · #

  14. There are so many things to love today: – Wearing my stripey red, blue & pink head-scarf as a necktie (emulating ‘air hostess chic’) – Being warm and cosy in my office on a cold, rainy, blustery and generally miserable day…especially when I can see people outside battling with their umbrellas! – Crazy DVD sales…I bought The Breakfast Club, Cruel Intentions & Amelie faster than you can say ‘spending addiction’ – Managing to eat a tub of mixed berry topped yoghurt without getting any seeds caught in my teeth – A dress I ordered arriving in the mail…if it doesn’t fit my heart will surely be broken – it is stunning :) – My friend buying Regina Spektor’s cover of ‘Real Love’ from iTunes for me, because I simply adore that song and it’s not available for illegal download (how inconsiderate!)

    <3 KP · Oct 25, 03:12 PM · #

    * The rain

    P.s Gala head to Beechworth! It’s about 5 hours from Melbourne and there are gorgeous views, little towns nearby, cute country shopping and heaps of things to do like horse riding and hiking. Very outdoorsy and very romantic!

    <3 Natalie · Oct 25, 04:58 PM · #

  22. o Finishing a paper that was crushing my soul and dancing wildly around my living room in my undies with all of the lights out with the exception of the glow from my laptop and the city lights outside.
    o How delicious oranges taste when you haven’t eaten anything all day.
    o Waking up next to my boyfriend in the morning.
    o My new heated eyelash curler!
    o Fresh mint flavoured gelato from the farmer’s market in my freezer.
    o Coffee every morning.
    o Double date scrabble/wine tournaments every Friday night.

    <3 Kirstin · Oct 25, 05:02 PM · #

  23. Swapping OPI nailpolish colours with my mum, leaving surprise anonymous presents in people’s mailboxes, hedgehogs, grilled eggplant and parmasan toasted sandwiches, hammocks, candlelit alfesco dinners, very vanilla lattes from GJs, waist skirts, hexagonal sunglasses, soy and linseed bread, peridot and sapphires, eating refridgerated nutella straight from the jar with a teaspoon.

    Can you sense a common theme?!! Love my food.

    Hope everyone has a lovely day xo

    <3 gemma · Oct 25, 05:21 PM · #

  24. * Autumn rain

    * Nadya Lev’s photography

    * working on a story that has tried to elude me all week.

    * Discarding labels that I’ve put on myself.

    * Having freshly dyed hair (it’s red again, which makes me extremely happy).

    * Searching for vintage hair pins and brooches (my Vivienne Westwood skull pin has been worn so much he has a name now…“Thaddeus”, so he needs a break).

    * Planning dream vacations to Berlin, London, Tokyo, and New York City.

    * Reading iCiNG because Gala, you never fail to make my day brighter.

    * Finding knitting books so I can actually get to it. _

    <3 E. Black · Oct 25, 05:21 PM · #

  25. Ooooh, I hope you use one of those turbans in a daily outfit photo. I’d love to see how it would look on an actual head! Then I may consider the 15 pounds (which is what, 89 USD? I jest!) on one. Lovely post!

    <3 Lydia · Oct 25, 05:23 PM · #

  26. When I was in Japan two summers ago, I went to 6% Doki Doki and it was AMAZING. The decorations are beautiful and their products are just perfect. They had these Alice in Wonderland mary-janes that I wanted so badly but were so expensive. I did get a blouse and a couple necklaces, one of which is adorned with donut and popsicle charms. When you try things on there, they give you this net to put over your head so you won’t get make-up on their clothes. Anyway, it was totally wonderful and I hope you get to visit someday!

    <3 Olive · Oct 25, 05:55 PM · #

  27. *sending random people letters (postcardx.net is great!) *taking my dog for a long walk along the beach (really clears your head and the exercise is good) *the feeling you get when you have just finished cleaning your house *sleeping in *getting new fantasy books from bookmooch.com *making pictures with glue and coloured sand

    Happy Thursday everyone!

    <3 Song · Oct 25, 06:20 PM · #

  28. I’m glad you like the Klorane! Isn’t it amazing?! I can’t believe i ever went without it! LOL

    And that’s funny, you just got Victoria Beckham’s book, and i just bought it today! I really love all the gorgeous pics inside!

    Things i love today…
    ham & salad wraps / Linkin Park / nail polish / cupcakes / Instyle magazine

    <3 Sarah · Oct 25, 08:48 PM · #

  29. You have no idea how excited I got when I saw Paramore on that list! I love them! It was funny, as soon as I read that bit my phone started ringing and Crushcrushcrush by Paramore is my ringtone, haha.
    My favourite song of theirs is My Heart :).

    <3 Miri · Oct 25, 08:52 PM · #

  30. Oh my goodness, I’m mentioned on iCiNG! I have arrived! Next week you’ll see photos of me dining at The Ivy and stumbling out of LAX nightclub with Nicole and Paris… I am famous! In all seriousness that Klorane is so fabulous I’m suprised its so little known. I read about celebrity hair stylists using it, but dry shampoo always sounded so grotesque. So not the case, hey! Loving it & loving the extra 30 minutes sleep in it gives me!

    Your Hunter S Thompson quote made me giggle =) I bet he wore Spiderman undies.

    I’m loving * MAC lipglass in prize petal * the new girl at work, Amy, she is just precious and so much fun * JB HiFi. I love how you can get the best movies on dvd for like 10 bucks. Boyfriend & I are building a collection of our favourite movies! * Counting down the days til my mumma and sister come visit me here in Perth =)

  32. Oh I saw paramore for my birthday on the 6th of October for the second time, they are so great!

    It sounds like i should read a Paul Arden book I feel like I need some courage at the moment to go though with some career plans that I have been dreaming up for a while, but everyone keeps telling me that I am too young to do it yet.

    um atm I love love my fluro purple nailpolish + playing everything on my guitar in overdrive + looking at aparments in Stkilda, Yarraville etc that I am dreaming of buying next year for my 21st and thinking of how I want the to be decorated (I love kitch and shabby chic) and listening to music I loved as a kid (like no doubt and the cranberries…I had awesome taste)

    Late night coach travels to see my boyfriend,

    Steampunk/Neo-Victorian culture!

    Finding the most perfectly elegant pair of long leather gloves ,

    Getting to the really good bit in a book; it makes me squirm! Sometimes I get too excited and have to get up and make some tea to calm myself. Margaret Atwood’s fiction, gosh!

    The cinnamon smell now that it’s winter. I took a Cinnamon Kisses bath this morning courtesy of Lush. Mmm.

    Gala Darling, because she is the shining effervescent source of glittery light that never fails to brighten my dull winter days.

    *Watching a folk band jamming in a warm pub.

    <3 Sparkle · Oct 26, 07:07 AM · #

  44. i think a soft pink rosy sort of hair would be very becoming on you!. its a great quote too. reminds me of ‘shoot for the moon and if you miss you’ll land among the stars’ which is sort of sickeningly cheesy but oh well!

  47. Today I love warm weather, jeans shorts, our blog (nama.wordpress.com), Italy, peaches, my boy, getting dress as Daisy from Super Mario World on Halloween, and specially:

    THE AMAZING SODA STEREO CONCERT I WENT YESTERDAY! :D!

    I praise that band, it’s amazing!!, I yelled like crazy in the concert!

    <3 fran · Oct 26, 07:52 AM · #

  48. 1. Playing live music and throwing shows at my (first) house (ever)!! We had the big party last night (I sent you a picture this morning in response to your email, ha) and it went so well, and I’m getting over my stage fright. And the boyfriend, who had never seen me play outside of the context of drumming in our band, was SO PROUD and that really riled me up. Lovelovelove.

    2. Sushi— A given for me, but I haven’t had it in a couple weeks and I’m going to get some.

    3. Michel Simon— Classic French actor, debuted in Dreyer’s “La Passion de Jeanne d’Arc” as an extra and became one of the best actors in the history of France. I’m studying his portrayal of Pere Jules in Vigo’s “L’Atalante”.

    4. The fact that the campus chapel bells are playing the Simpsons theme as we speak.

    5. Oversized thrifted grandma fair-isle sweaters with pencil skirts and knee socks.

    <3 Meredith · Oct 26, 10:12 AM · #

  49. this week i love
    :my week in NZ – I love that place, i forgot just how GREEN it is!

    :my new fave album, the Shepherd’s Dog by Iron & Wine! SERIOUSLY – everyone should LISTEN TO IT! it’s amazing.

    :getting Nippies in the mail upon my return-yay!

    :having the whole bed to myself this week :)

    :Bombay Sapphire from my parents as a parting gift, drunk w/ Kiwifruit nectar – reminds me of one of my best buddies who I spent time with on my trip home!

    :Deepak Chopra- he’s a visionary and a half.

    <3 Tasj · Oct 26, 11:20 AM · #

  50. I love…Dirty Pretty Things (http://www.dirtyprettythings.com.au), I spent SO much there yesterday, but it was totally worth it! Gorgeous lingerie ahoy!

  54. This week!

    + My dog Chardonnay

    + Playing Guitar Hero

    + Lord of the Rings – so nerdy, but still so good

    + Architect Ole Scheeren

    + The bright outfits that Chuck in Pushing Daisies wears. They really celebrate life.

    + Working with my two favorite managers at the same time. They make me laugh!
