Jeffrey Campbell Love

I am really, really loving that every shop I go into lately has splashes of colour is everywhere, and everyone on the streets is embracing it!

All my bags are black, tan or neutral. I think this JC bag would be the perfect colour addition to my collection.  It has a real summer feel about it too!

You can buy it here

Lately Jonathan and I have both been talking about wanting to buy a house. We both have really similar style on how we like to decorate places. And we are constantly changing things around in our current apartment - making sure we keep things interesting and fun. These photographs caught my eye - especially the warehouse photos.

Our dream house is a renovated warehouse with high ceilings, polished cement or rustic floor boards, lots of exposed brick and ceiling to floor windows. Open plan living would be really cool too, kind of like on the movie "St Elmo's Fire".

It makes me want to work extremely hard over the next year or two so this dream of ours comes true.

Across the Universe

 So for the past couple of days I've been whinging to Jonathan that my House of Harlow Chelsea sunglasses still hadn't arrived. Little did I know there was a slip from Australia Post in my letter box from the 31st of August - yes last Wednesday. At the place we live, normally the postman buzzes our intercom to come down and pick up our parcels, but for some reason he didn't this time. On Friday night I even sent the place I bought them from an email asking where they were (unbeknownst to me  they were actually at my post office waiting for me). Yesterday was a public holiday here (yay, three day weekend) so I couldn't pick them up until today! It was well worth the wait, as I am so in love with them!

Keep a look out for a new space for The Unknown Pleasures. It's going to look amazing, I promise! Have an awesome weekend guys!

GOLD COAST MAGAZINE

(Front cover Sept/Oct Issue, My page, Behind the scenes photos)

I don't know where to start with this post because I am so, so excited!

A little less than a month ago, I received an ever so exciting email from the beautiful Kirra from Gold Coast Magazine asking me to take part in an up and coming feature story on Bloggers! I think I re-read her email four times before it sunk in! A dance of excitement may or may not have happened as well. What's even more exciting I can now share it all with you.

This photo shoot and interview marks my very first publication since starting my blog last year. I never dreamed that one day I would feature along side some of the most incredible Australian bloggers such as: Daydream Lily, Oracle Fox, In spaces Between and Girl with a Satchel - who might I add are  the loveliest girls and really, really talented! It's so nice to meet fellow bloggers in person after reading their blogs for so long! If you haven't read some of these blogs - get on board now!
 One of the best things about being a blogger is meeting/ connecting with new people, whether it be through social media sites or days like this one. It's always good when you've made friendships at the end of the day! So, a big, big thank you to Aimee and Kirra from Gold Coast Magazine for running such a great feature on us five girls - you are the best.

And a big thank you to all my readers, after all if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have gotten to take part in such an amazing experience! I really appreciate the time you take to read my posts!

Summer is coming

Tomorrow marks only three months 'til summer (Cue to jump up and down with excitement). Can you believe it's not that far away? I know the weather has been anything but spring/summer in recent days but don't let that get you down! Go try on some swimmers or even buy an over-sized tote to carry all your summer essentials in to get you in the mood for summer!!!

I just want to go and pop my toes in the water and sun-bake!

A big thank you to the Sunburn team for spreading the summer love to me in the form of this wicked canvas tote! I love the colour - I can't wait to use it! Be sure to check out Sunburn's website here to see all of their summer goodness.

Monster Children

(ISSUE 32)

Really diggin' Monster Children magazine at the moment. Love the landscape layout - it's a nice change from all the other magazines I read. I love their use of typography and just the graphics in general. It's really, really fresh.

If you've never read it, go to the newsagent now and buy it - alternatively you can go here if you don't feel like leaving your computer.

UNIF

You've all probably seen the super cute/ radical Christine of Christeric - there's no possible way for you to have missed her, her blog or her and her boyfriends label UNIF. Wow, that's a lot of "hers" in one sentence.

I want these three tanks featured above. I am finding myself in the ever so annoying predicament of always having more bottoms then tops. Where do they all go? Why do I get sick of them 1,000 times quicker then all my jeans, shorts and skirts?

HAPPY MONDAY!
