Be inspired:

Just some cute little thoughts to brighten up your day.

Russh sneak peek

One of my favourite New Zealand blogs, The Girl With the Kaleidoscope Eyes has a sneak peak of the new issue of Russh. Looks like it's going to be another fantastic issue, including some editorial photography shot by Christopher Ferguson and Chadwick Tyler.

Looking forward to it hitting NZ shores!

Max Wanger photography

Delightful engagement pictures of Jessica and Tyler, taken by the always talented Max Wanger. I like!

A special mention of Here Comes the Sun

Just a little thank you to Frankie Magazine for featuring me on their website today! I feel so honoured :)

Frankie is my favourite magazine, i discovered it back when it was only on it's 5th issue & haven't missed one since! One of their latest projects is the Photo Album, a beautiful coffee table book full of dreamy and inspiring photography of more than 100 professional and amateur photographers from around the world.

Make sure you order your copy right now, and enjoy the pictures below which also feature in the book.

One. Two. Three.

Sometimes it's just fun to browse etsy for ideas of presents to buy your friends. I have one good friend who has a house filled with hundreds of little owl ornaments and i know these little beauties would fit in well.

Do you guys collect anything? I love owls but i'm not really a collector. If anything i collect books and Beatles paraphernalia.

Lookbook love.

Do you know what makes for a perfect afternoon? A cup of tea and browsing through lookbook.nu then visiting the blogs and websites of the people with your favourite outfits. The above pictures are from Stephanie Crowe. Isn't she gorgeous!

I've somehow lost the link to her lookbook and can't find it but make sure you go check out her blog.

Just a little bit of New Zealand talent for you

Beautiful pictures by Marie Suzanne Wade, a New Zealand beauty and also a friend of mine. She doesn't have a website yet but I'll let you know when her deviantART is up and running. Until then you could always email her at marie.suzanne@live.com if you want to know anything else.

Blog of the week: A salute to the fashion bloggers

Lisa Place:

Alice Point:

The Cherry Blossom Girl:

Fashion Toast:

Ellen Claesson:

This week I thought I would give a shout out to my favourite fashion bloggers instead of just selecting one blog of the week. These guys are all so creative with the way they dress and i love catching up on all their posts to see what they'll come up with next.

Sometimes I almost want to have another blog- Here Comes the Sun- Fashion, but I don't think i actually own enough clothes to make it as exciting as they do! So until my wardrobe miraculously grows I'll just keep enjoying what these guys have to share.

Do you guys follow any fashion blogs? Who? Let me know!

And happy weekend to you all xxx

In need of a little advice:

Hey guys, I really really want to get a film camera but I need some advice. I've NEVER owned any kind of camera before- not even a digital one! So i don't really know what to look for so I was wondering if you could send me in the right direction?

Firstly before you start telling me about expensive camera's my budget for this is pretty small. AND i have no problems with getting a crappy little camera that takes average quality pictures because there's something charming about that. But i don't want one that's going to die the day after I buy it.

So let me know what you think would be good!
