Happy Listening: Temper Trap

By on August 22, 2011 in happy listening

Australian band The Temper Trap have blown up in the last year to become a favourite inspiring soundtrack for television shows, commercials, and a handful of recent romantic comedies. Commercialism aside, their sound is impactful and beautifully climatic. Here are two of my favourite, and their most popular tracks.

Happy Listening: You Sure Look Swell

By on February 14, 2011 in happy listening

I knew posting a song on Valentines, it would have to be uber romantic. So here is a song I have wanted to post for a while, because every time I hear it I fall into a daydream where I’m swaying in a romantic embrace with the one I love. Seemed like the perfect choice.

Happy Valentines!

More gorgeous dresses! It’s dresses like these that make me feel like if I weren’t doing graphic design, I would have to be dedicating myself to fashion. I’m not kidding you, these beauties actually tug on my heart strings a little bit. Swan Lake anyone?

Check out the MLH online shop for party dresses, accessories and more stunning looks. I just wish I had an event to go to for all of them. Thanks to this Creature Comforts post for introducing me to such a lovely collection!

Delicate Headbands

By on November 29, 2009 in style + beauty

I am so happy to say that these wonderful hair accessories I am about to show you, are designed by a talented sister team based in Toronto (yay!). I love wearing headbands because they are such a simple and cute ornament.

These romantic and vintage looking headbands are by OdalisPetitMenagerie. I love the soft silk fabric flower, with a pearl in the middle…Their selection is simple enough for everyday wear, but the styles can also suit a fancy wedding affair. I definitely see myself picking up the gold leaf one ;)

Louise Broad

Found some more textured lovelies to wrap ourselves up in! Louise Broad is a textile artist and accessory designer who specializes in nuno felting. Her process fuses ultralight silk with merino wool and other natural fibres to create beautiful handcrafted fabrics.

I love the soft hues and delicacy of the fabric. So ethereal and romantic. These are the type of pieces that really add to your overall look, instead of merely acting as a cover up. Her products are designed to order, so you can get in touch with her if you’re interested.
