Little things that I couldnt keep to myself
95% of the time I spend on the computer, I am sidetracked by inspiring design, pretty colours and things that make me feel warm inside. So, I've decided I must share some of these designs, illustrations, and bits & bobs that some people usually wouldn't think of checking out.
There is no doubt in my mind that I love interior design. Everything about it makes me giddy and want to colour co-ordinate, organize and mix and match every part of my life. It sometimes gets pretty bad, and if you know me well you've noticed that I fold the clothes that have been scruffed up at a clothing store, or suddenly decide to clean your room as you've popped into the toilet.
Anyway, my point is that a single colour, accessory, throw rug or photo can transform a once 'blah' room into something beautiful!
Something I love so much more then interior design is STATIONARY!!! One of my little pleasures in life is going down to Officeworks or an Arts and Craft store and shopping for pretty notebooks, organizers, cards, etc! Here are a few designers that I LOVE!
These are London graphic designers (which they apply their work to stationary and things for the home) Present&Correct- www.presentandcorrect.com. There work is too cute to handle, with the organizers so clever and handy!
There long-term obsession with stationary has flourished there ever-growing warehouse, implementing funky, quirky and vintage inspired designs throughout their collections. Check it out!
Another designer who has put exentricity and creativity ahead of the norm is Anna Fraser's card collection "Cards for Complicated People". This collection has something everyone can relate to, they're funny, cheeky and have a strange truth to them.

Moving on now..while reading the April issue of Cosmo (or Cleo, they're both the same) I discovered an abundance of amazing illustrators that I just have to share.

Thats about it for now...I'll leave you with a few more beautiful images!

Top 5 Items All Guys Should Own
It is no secret that I am in love with mens fashion, heck, I even buy it sometimes. So, I have decided to name my Top 5 items in which all guys should own!
1. Skinny Jeans
Look, I know many girls don't like the "super skinny" look on guys, but I love it (however, not so skinny that his legs make mine look like thunder-thighs.)
A good pair of skinny jeans will work with anything, however, a great colour will work better. Black skinny's are always the best way to go, as they can either be dressed up with a pair of dress shoes or dressed down with some sailor shoes
However, I'm seriously loving indigo jeans, super sexy and so swish I think it may be taking over black jeans for good!
2. Vans
My favourite of all guys shoes, ever. They a) make jeans looks extra skinny, and b) give any guy a cool, street wear vibe (which i L O V E)
RRP- $89.95
3. Basic T's and Shirts
These are things that every person needs in their wardrobe, colours, greys, neutrals..everything! A good, basic t-shirt and shirt will go a long way in a guys wardrobe (I'm talking years) and will dress up and dress down any outfit.
A good bow-tie always makes shirts look extra spiffy, and the guy extra gorgeous!
4. Coats, Jackets & Cardigans
The type of jacket a guy can pull off depends on their own personal style, I personally love a coat on a guy..but yet again, it can look hideous on others.
My top 3 jackets is are a basic black hoodie, a paddington bear coat and a basic cardigan.
5. Beanies
I La-la-la-LOVE beanies on guys, they're warm, super cute, and you can totally steal them and wear them yourselves!
Some fellow beanie lovers include, Zac Efron, and Adam Brody (marry me Seth!)
So that's my Top 5! If you're a guy, or if you know a boy, take him shopping (even though he may hate it) and play dress-ups...go wild and make sure to buy pieces in which you can mix and match with!
