I've been absent from this little space on the internet and I thought I might return with a few serendipitous bits from other corners of the web:

+ i'm loving this blog after discovering this awesome instagram

+ giggles galore reading this article on how to spot a hipster

+ this driving manual by a German college student (Gregor Weichbrodt) is based on the geographic info in On The Road (by Kerouac)

+ this twitter is everything

+ it's true sometimes our brains have too many tabs open

+ this video of the Orla Kiely AW14 collection

+ Atlantis is within our sights with these plans of a sea explorer vessel

+ tears in my eyes over this news of children reading to shelter animals

// Wishlist Wears: keeping it nanna chic with this lace collar jumper // this laser-cut tote which exceeds my budget by a couple of zero's // these bee happy shoes are too cute for words // this crazy cat lady tee // this ice cream scarf // completely in awe of the embroidery on this dress // cute socks part i // cute socks part ii //

Petra Collins | Salvation Mountain

Petra Collin's lens is responsible for this Salvation Mountain based editorial that was featured in Rookie. The models perpetuate a Lisbon sister vibe, with those flowy white blouses, peach lip gloss, and wavy hair. The shoot seems to be a testimony to the mountain itself; built in the 70's by Leonard Knight as a expression of peace and love. 

Watch: Grand Budapest hotel

Wes Anderson magic has had me spellbound for years. The colour themes, the soundtracks, those loveable characters, the attention to detail, the costumes, the funny quotes, the interesting story lines, and of course Bill Murray. The Grand Budapest Hotel is no exception to signature Wes Anderson splendour having entranced me in the exciting tale of Lobby-boy Zero and Maître ´d M. Gustav (Ralph Fiennes) whom are involved in a conspiracy surrounding estate arrangements. My personal review… 

Vivetta FW 13/14

Doesn't Vivetta's Fall Winter 13/14 lookbook inspire cravings for a bag of liquorice all sorts! This collection includes some of my favourite things; pastel blues, peachy pink hues, ribbons, velvet and gold embroidery.

Hanna Haley | Summertime Girls

Californian artist Hanna Haley takes these beautiful photographs captured around her home in San Francisco. These photos transpire thoughts of magical girls who embody facets of summer. I can imagine a story that involves these transformed girls who yield mischief upon sleepy towns, breaking the hearts of mere mortal men, or simply spreading peace and happiness.
