- Kaelen's spring/summer collection. Adore the graphic prints on quirky, sporty shapes. Coveting everything - from the easy basics too the special printed pieces.
- Lace table runners. I saw a picture on Pinterest and my heart was stolen. Etsy, Ebay and Vinnies will be the place to find one I feel. And hopefully just in time for my Christmas party this weekend.
- And that brings me to my next major thought this week: Christmas! I admit, my tree has been up for weeks (I got excited) and I have been wholeheartedly planning a Christmas party. I have endless lists and ideas...
- Passionfruit. Maggie Beer's banana & passionfruit pavlova in her new book started it. Since then I've become a little obsessed with the stuff. I've unearthed endless recipes! These would be some favourites that I can't wait to try: coconut meringue sandwiches with passionfruit ice cream, coconut rice pudding with passionfruit & banana, passionfruit puddings, passionfruit eton mess, passionfruit tart, orange & passionfruit yoyos, and passionfruit & ricotta cheesecake. I know, long list.
- The December issue of (Australian) Vogue. Arizona Muse is to die for.
- Kate Upton. Yeah, um, wow. She's had 4 Vogue covers this past year. Not bad for a swimsuit model with boobs (yes, you read right. The vogue model has boobs). See her latest for Vogue Brazil here.
- These photos of old London superimposed onto photos from today. Looks cool.
- Mag Nation's cool new foodie quarterly 'Diner Journal' fresh from Brooklyn USA. Its ad-free and beautifully bound. More a book than a throw-away magazine. Collect and treasure! Pick it up here.
- This snappy observation from Coco Rocha (here). I agree - how can you be a 'style icon' if you aren't actually picking the clothes? Food for thought.
- Running. I've gotten (well, getting) back into it and am realising why I took it up in the first place. Download the Couch-to-5k app and read these tips from Refinery29 to get you started.
