I love love love these recycled cardboard stationery organisers from french online store adonde which come in in my favourite colour, grey. I spend way to much money on stationery and as tempting as these are, they will have to wait and be put on my wish list.
I've seen on a few blogs posts about packing for trips and the "what's in my hand bag" posts and decided it was a good time for me to give it a go because i'm off to Melbourne for a girls trip tomorrow before seeing my sister off at the airport.
I have been very good and picked my outfits carefully so don't pack anything i won't need. To drive to Melbourne and have a shop I have my new grey jumper and mustard scarf with jeans and brogues, for going out for dinner I have a new terracotta woven top from staple with black jeans and black platform lace ups and for taking my sister to the airport and driving home i have my khaki green dress with leather jacket tights and booties. Oh and of course i've packed my favourite waffle pj's.
My pigeonhole handbag had a clean out and now just has the essentials, pigeonhole purse, leather fox case for my iphone, Chanel perfume, Mac lipstick, carmex, pocket mirror, ipod shuffle, rayban glasses and rayban sunnies and my notebook and bamboo pen.
It's nice to be all organised and see what i have to play with.
I like to have my frankie magazines handy to flick through for inspiration and fun and found this great magazine rack that is perfect for my desk. M is for magazine and Millie!
I have been on a bit of a splurge book wise lately and thought i'd share my purchases.
The Secret Garden, Jamie's 30 Minute Meals, The Pleasures of the Table, Stencil 101, Op Shop Guide Victoria, Letters and Numbers vol.1 and The Selby, there's truly something for everyone in this mix!
My home library is getting bigger week to week, I find it so hard to leave my favourite bookstore without a new treasure.
I bought this lovely locket a while back from Foxes, a great online store with so many beautiful things, from jewelry to home-wares. I just bought myself the perfect chain for it and was saving it as a little gift to myself for finishing Uni yesterday!
I have been buying so many new books and flipping through them all and realised i didn't have nearly enough bookmarks to keep track of where i am up to. So I got creative last night and pulled out some felt, this penguin is the first book buddy and there is soon to be a lion and a monkey, the possibilities are endless. I think they will make nice gifts, i often give books for presents and these buddies will be a cute little extra.
