COS why are you teasing me?

So one of my favourite European stores have opened their online store but unfortunately for me they don't ship to Australia which is a bit poo really. Still, if they were shipping to Australia this is what I'd have a hard time choosing between. I'm especially in love with the hooded scuba jacket and woven and scuba dress as well as the layered ribbon necklace. Actually scrap that, I'm in love with everything really.

Girl with the silver rings

I'm pretty sure Sandra from 5inchandup has the coolest rings in the world. I love how she just stacks them on as if it was effortless. Really in love with the rings in the top pic and that bag is gorgeous.

Tuesday Recipe: Banana Bread

Yay for bananas going down in price - finally I can afford to eat them again. I haven't eaten a single banana since last years horrendous cyclones and floods hit tropical North Queensland. All this good news calls for celebration in the form of yummy banana bread. Find the recipe here.

Sabbath - Polina Synyavska & Michelle Schermer for Grey #5

I absolutely love how haphazard and lyrical this editorial for Grey # 5 (fall/winter 11 edition) is. Models Michelle Schermer and Polina Synyavska look exquisitely awkward while remaining poised at the same time - contradictory I know. Lensed by Alessio Bolzoni and styled by Moreno Galata.This editorial rocks.

Styling Ideas

I'm in love with the styling of these looks. Nice clean and structured without looking too prissy. While I may not be able to afford any of these pieces they're great ideas for styling some inexpensive high street alternatives.

Camilla Singapore Weekender Bag

I'm so in love with my brand spanking new Camilla Singapore Weekender Bag. It was one of the awesome prizes I won as part of the Drop Dead Gorgeous Daily Editor at Large comp. I haven't been able to take pics until now but I'm going gaga over this print and wanted to share this amazing bag with you. It's perfect for weekends away and let me assure you it's also big enough to house all those new goodies purchased on said weekends away. In Camilla's word the design behind the bag was "inspired by an array of things that make up my Singapore, whether that be the tiles on Arab Street, ancient Peranakan pottery or the tigers on the night safari." Love, love love it...so pretty, so vibrant and so perfect. A huge thank you to DDGD and Camilla.

Ps: If you like the sounds of DDGD they're seeking new friends, so why not head over to their facebook page. They're super friendly, trust me. Alternatively head over to their website for the latest in fashion, beauty and lifestyle.

Topshop Unique SS12

I love Topshop and I  especially love their boutique brands, such as Unique, who recently unveiled their Spring/Summer 12 collection at LFW. These backstage pics from the Unique collection are awesome. While there was lots of opulence there was also a hint of  90s urban-hip hop. Think cropped jogging bottoms, hoodies, pale distressed denim, tube dresses,  crop tops and floor-sleeping column skirts. All in all lots of exciting pieces for spring/summer 12.
