IKEA PJÄTTERYD


Greta and Audrey... Audrey and Greta...
I have Audrey Hepburn, but after seeing the picture of Greta Garbo in the new Ikea catalogue I want it too! Aargh I need a house to furnish, and quicky. My bedroom is starting to look like the furniture shop in Gilmore Girls!

Dante Wedges

First shoes bought this Summer. I have a good feeling!
However, the absence of my friends will be a definite lowpoint. I guess I'll have to trick myself the whole time pretending they're here, or just a day away. My espadrilles can help me forget...

Summer 2010-11


A little taste of my holiday reading for this summer. Can't wait to get started. 'Anna Karenina' is almost done!

High Society

Well, did you evah? What a swell party this is.

Please - who even uses the word swell anymore? Not in 2010 movies I tell you!

Gingerbread House

Today I made a gingerbread house. Not the above one, but similar. I usually make one every year, but this one was different. Nobody was my partner so I made it on my own. I measured the roof to the wrong proportions, and it ended up pushing itself outwards - almost collapsing the house! It took an hour of holding it in place and cementing with lemon icing before it stood. I don't want to eat it.

Rosa Canina

Species roses are so beautiful.

Grace Kelly

A friend didn't know who Grace Kelly was today. I quickly enlightened them. Sacrilege!

Flora Danica








Welcome to my new obsession. Idly flicking through my mum's Vogue Living, I chanced upon the most beautiful crockery of my life! Too bad it's really really expensive, exquisite, Danish 18th Century porcelain. Maybe I can do a Princess Mary?
News headlines in 10 years:
"Melbourne girl marries Crown-prince"

Cat



Cat from 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' is definitely one of the top three cutest cats I've ever seen... along with O'Mally from 'The Aristocats' and the Cheshire cat from 'Alice in Wonderland'... I can't believe Holly would ever chuck him into the rain!!
I'm on George Peppard's side the whole movie I have to say, I would never like a girl like Holly. He's so normal and she's so eccentric. Too much trouble to be worth it. I don't know how Cat puts up with her...

Juliet Doesn't Live Here Anymore

Funniest scene from new Gossipgirl episode. I was wondering why Blair was being so uninterested and inconsiderate of Serena, and like she couldn't concentrate properly...
PS: how beautiful is the headboard of her bed!

Mango Sorbet

Weis mango sorbet is my favourite Summer food! I've already finished off one litre getting into the mood while Spring is ending...

Rear Window


The yellow floral dress Grace Kelly wears in 'Rear Window' has stuck in my mind since Tuesday (yesterday). So above are some pictures.

An Affair To Remember

How lovely to fall in love on a ship (with pink champagne and orange dresses). I was just remembering the swimming pool on the boat in this movie today...

Gigi


Watched 'Gigi'... what a funny musical! I love Louis Jourdan and Leslie Caron so much now.

Playsuit

My new black playsuit - mostly for Carina's benefit, as I will be wearing it to exams which will be casual. I love it, it has lace at the front which you might not see in the above (very bad) picture.

PS the only reason I am not smiling in it is because I wasn't aware it was being taken, and a mosquito just bit me!

Rosa 'Soleil d' Or'


Studying for History has been so boring. I just wanted to take a break and pretend I'm outside. I'm pretty sure the unofficial name of this rose is Golden Sun. What a beautiful name, I wish it was mine!
