I just fell in love with this look book by Austrian Fashion Designer Lena Hoschek who also did the Art Direction and Styling for the shoot. Photographed by Lupi Spuma, this is a explosion of floral and pastel, 40's/50's style hair & make-up, pretty frocks and vintage inspired swimwear. I love the way it reminds me of The Notebook. Everything is so feminine and the style is modest, classy and flattering.

BLOOM // DOUBLE EXPOSURE - SCOUT & CATALOGUE

Photograph by : Anabela of Fieldguided

Lookbook : Scout & Catalogue

This beautiful double exposure was from the Scout & Catalogue lookbook of 2012 and it is one of my favourite images to date! Shot by the lovely Anabela of Fieldguided who loves to shoot with film. I love the hat, the blooms, the windowsill, her lipstick, the composition, everything! This image pretty much inspired the "Transparent Memories" Photo story from Rose Magazine that I did as my final art school project. Still some of my favourite photos that I've taken.

WHITE MAGICK - PT 3 // LOVER THE LABEL

White Magick - Pt 3 // Lover the Label

I would happily wear any one of these stunning lace dresses by Lover the Label and their latest White Magick Collection. I would invent an event to provide reason enough to wear them. I wouldn't care if I were too overdressed or bridal looking cause I would feel so pretty and elegant, it wouldn't matter.

CARAVAN // GENUINE LEATHER HANDBAGS

Caravan Genuine Leather Bags

Have you ever tried to look for a beautifully made, fine quality leather handbag that is big enough to carry your books and folders, perhaps even your laptop? These stunning handmade leather bags are designed in New Zealand by the talented Cara who is the store owner and visionary of Tiny Space.

Tiny Space is a unique store within St Kevin's Arcade along K'rd, Central Auckland that specializes in stunning leather bags, gorgeous jewellery, as well as various other knick knacks and wonderment. They even sell Rose Tinted Illustration prints and my handmade flower crowns. If you haven't been before, than you're in for a treat!

Cara is currently working on the next collection of Caravan bags to be released later this year. Can't wait to see what the next instalment is going to look like! I currently own the large black B08 Beverly bag (2nd from top), which is perfect to fit my 15" laptop. It fits snug in a soft case which I put inside the soft leather inner clutch. I can carry it around with style to do my design work knowing it is safe and hidden away. I have also wish-listed the Maroon Gypsy Traveller bucket style bag and the Dark Chocolate Geek Chic Satchel!
