pretty birds




here are a few of the edited shots from the Golden Rule photoshoot I was a part of.
these images are the first of many that I will be posting.
we are working on putting together a few editorials from our days spent photographing the clothing from new boutique Golden Rule.
Until then, i hope you enjoy these as much as i do!

These pictures are wildly dreamy thanks to the amazingly talented crew of people who worked on them.

over the years margaret howell has done some pretty amazing ad campaigns.

here is a look back at the last several years of gorgeous images created from unique faces, interesting styling, and gorgeous black and white film.

prepare to be happy

this is a video by another all time favorite photographer of mine, chadwick tyler, who has taken to the video camera for his latest project. This one is a keeper!

carl does it


carl bengtsson remains at the top of my cue as one of the photographers I would most like to work with.
his photography continually morphs to portray fantasy worlds that are both unual and inviting.
all the while he manages to maintain a distinct style all his own.
 this editorial is the perfect example of carl's great skill.
enjoy these gorgeous images

i luv my sister!


my darling sister  turned me onto the gorgeous store Aritzia about two years ago when she gave me the MOST beautiful cardigan. This year she made my dreams come true again when she gave me a gorgeous linen jacket and equally stunning tank top from the line Wilfred. She convinced me to go back to the store to be sure that these items were perfect (which they were), as they have too many beautiful things to count and endless options of birthday gift joy. I was suckered into a quilted silk coat made of vintage french fabric, and patterned from an vintage french coat the designer found in Paris. The story alone would have won me over, but the coat is breathtaking and put the nail in the coffin. Here is the latest lookbook from Wilfred so that you too can be weak in the knees. 

enjoy!

who is this lady?

i am hard pressed to find an interior spread where I covet every room.
this beautiful house and its lovely interiors belong to Lyn Gardener.
In Melbourne Lyn has a vintage shop called empirevintage
surely it is full of exquisite findings that share the same aesthetic as her incredible home.
"The building {her home} is an old matress factory. Lyn had fallen in love with the falling down space before it even came onto the market for sale. The house was gutted - rebuilt - and painted white! White walls, white floors, white shutters, everything white. Her furniture is a mishmash of French and English and her accessories are an assortment of beautiful finds from flea markets, salvage yards and overseas travels." ~http://villaanna.blogspot.com 
  
enjoy this gorgeous dose of Australian charm!
