Fabulous Fanning.

Both the Fanning sisters have taken the fashion world by storm recently, they are literally everywhere. I am undecided as to whether they are heading to be the new Olsen twins (big call), or if they are a mere faze. What I am decided on is they are hot. Fanning is a fashion fav. And this cover of Elle's February issue is the most amazing cover I have seen this year (not a very big call), featuring...you guessed it... Dakota Fanning.
  

Summer escape and excuses.

My deepest apologies for a huge absence. I have spent a blissful summer escape on the beautiful island of Samoa. With completely no internet. I am home now, and once I have collected myself and unpacked (or half attempted to) I will get back to this blog and you great people!      

Talk very soon.

Bloggers looking good in magazines.

One of my all time favourite bloggers, Sandra from 5 inch and up (not as smutty as the name suggests), has featured in this weeks Grazie (UK). Its a great piece on her recent work with Diesel and it looks utterly beautiful. Check it out!
     

The Ruby gift guide.

I am not the biggest fan of christmas shopping guides. They always feel like such a huge marketing ploy. And when they are not busy being a marketing ploy I usually find them hard to relate to anyone I am buying gifts for. This however is a mark of how insanely difficult my friends and family are to buy for. They all seem to fall in the category of "those who have everything, and extremely expensive taste". Unhelpful.
         
But if you are lucky enough to have a few easy people to buy for, or perhaps a few Ruby-enthusiasts (like myself), check out this great gift guide.
  

Lookbook Cookbook love.

Right so its a big call, but I think I have just discovered my favorite blog of all time. It combines two of my biggest loves. Food and fashion. Lookbook Cookbook is a vegan recipe blog and each recipe is paired with a sexy model looking right on trend nomming whatever.

The best thing about this blog? Apart (of corse) from the lovely ladies, is that these recipes are great and super simple.

Something old. Something(s) new and nothing blue.

Here is a wee update of the goings on in my wardrobe this season. I have gone a little spot nutty so aswell as a few christmas presents that I totally don't know about, my spot collection grew by one dress the other week (from Dotti). One darn cute dress if I do say so myself.
   

Also new to me, but not to this world is a green stone beaded necklace that was my grandma's. It has been permanently added to my wrist along with this super cool leather band by Pascoes and a silver bamboo bangle! I am never not wearing these.
        

Wedges have forever been a friend to me. What with their ubber height and not so ubber pain, I grabbed myself a bargain at glassons and now own the ulimate summery pair of wedges.
        

To (completely unintentionally) match my wedges I grabbed some cute two-tone singlets from cotton on. I can see these babies being a complete summer staple. When it decides to stop raining that is.
        

Feeling the need for a little (or maybe hugely over sized) sweater.

Considering yesterday was meant to be the first day of summer here in New Zealand I'm surprised at how increasingly nippy its getting! My new two-tone singlets and wedges are simply not enough layers today. I am thinking tomorrow I will dress a little more like this... I am sure I will look totes normal. Of course.
