Chanel surfing

Here's the latest issue of Lonny, which now boasts a bit more fashion than it has ever before.

Here's a still from a Chanel show featured in the July-August edition... 

...and who doesn't love a bit of Chanel

                                                                       

Click to switch & ditch the habit of a lifetime

With a library full of magazines piled up around my house, I've been forced to take another look at my periodical buying habit. And, with the full moon eclipse and end of Mercury retrograde signalling the start of a new period, it's out with the old, in with the new. If Beaufort 8 Group can chuck a heap of old mags, so can I. So, this is my new modus operandi: online magazines. Rue, Lonny et al. Thank you for inventing yourselves and helping me to declutter my life.
The first three images are of Rue art director and Designlovefest blogger Bri Emery's new loft (glad I'm not the only crazy person who has a colour-coordinated closet).

And I love this mid-century modern shoot from the "holiday" issue of Rue.

Home and clothed

The new edition of Lonny is online. This is such a great concept. It still amazes me that you can see an item on a computer screen, click on it and then be taken to a site that allows you to actually buy it. So Jetsons-esque! Ahh...the future. We have arrived.

This vintage homewares spread from Lonny is lovely. And the "keeping vintage modern" advice is spot on.

And this is what I'm wearing today. I picked it up from Salamanca market, in Hobart, for the grand sum of $30 (if you look closely you can see my reflection in the doorknobs - haha).

Look at the workmanship on that baby! Not an overlocked seam in sight.
