wednesday in house: black and white is always nice

i've just realised how long i've been mia from the blog! wow time flies...and thats pretty much what we've been doing too, flying to and from australia, singapore and bali twice (yes very lucky :), mix in a bit of sickness and a whole lot of playing with toys and your pretty much up to speed. 

heres some inspiration using my favourites black, white and grey. i love the baskets theyve used in the first image, i don't know how long they'd stay in tact at our house if they had balls in them though! notice how the small pop of yellow in the first two photos seems to be enough to bring out all the elements in the room and stop the rooms from looking too serious for a child. enjoy...

wardrobe crush christine centenera

nice to have another australian wardrobe crush. this time its christine centenera the fashion editor from australian harpers bazaar magazine. she is also a consultant for kanye west's fashion label. i guess she would be perfect for that role as she seems to have a love for leather. her overall look seems relaxed simple and clean, but when you look at the individual pieces they are anything but. there are folds, details, and interesting cuts. i would love to see this girls complete jacket and shoe collection.

listening to shakuhachi

some things i love from australian brand shakuhachi  right now. the first image is a summer sale item, and the rest is from their new collection in store called california dreaming. am absolutely in love with the accessories from their summer collection those chunky fred flintstone looking shoes and bracelets are awesome.
