Your Mid-Week Art Break: Scott Campbell
Immensely talented and darkly whimsical, I'm a little in love with Scott Campbell. His artwork is just so damn charming.
Uttu
This look book from Istanbul label, Uttu, is sublimely beautiful, both in terms of the clothes, the models and the photography. It lends itself to storytelling too, which is one of my favourite parts of any look book. (via The Clothes Horse)
QPF + LipMag
I had a ball at the close of the Queensland Poetry Festival last night, aptly named Evening Draws Back the Sun. The poet performances were all pretty stellar, with LE Scott, Geoff Lemon, Darkwing Dubs, angela rawlings and the wonderful singer-songwriter, Tylea. She has a Myspace page for her music, and I recommend having a… Continue reading QPF + LipMag
Sunday Short: The People You Will Fall in Love With in Your 20s by R
This isn't exactly a short story, but it's kind of lovely all the same, particularly this bit:You will fall in love with your friends. Deep, passionate love. You will create a second family with them, a kind of tribe that makes you feel less vulnerable. Sometimes our families can’t love us all the time. Sometimes… Continue reading Sunday Short: The People You Will Fall in Love With in Your 20s by R

(Also, God, the detail on that toad is impeccable). - The Mary Sue has compiled a list of 10 characters whose genders were swapped in production. I… Continue reading Friday Finds
Monster Mulberry
Every now and then I like a shoot more than the collection, and that's totally the case in Mulberry's Autumn/Winter 2012 collection and their monster photo spread. I mean, how great is that? Plus, the launch at London Fashion Week looked like awesome fun.
Your Mid-Week Art Break: Charles Santoso
I'm currently more than a little in love with Sydney illustrator, Charles Santoso. His stuff is so full of expression and his characters hold so much weight, the scenes so much narrative. It's pretty wonderful. Check out more over at his blog.
Lauren Moffatt Fall 2012
I am totally, irrevocably, head-over-feet for Lauren Moffatt's Fall 2012 collection. There isn't an item here that I wouldn't wear with relish. The colour palette is so complimentary, the patterns divine, and I just have so much love for the lot of it. You… Continue reading Lauren Moffatt Fall 2012
Sunday Short: An Abduction by Tessa Hadley
A good coming-of-age story about a young woman's sexuality is hard to find, which is unfortunate, given that so much of the trope can be magical, can walk that fine line between grace and awkwardness, gentleness and aggression. Tessa Hadley's short story about Jane, a plain teenage girl living in sixties England, makes so much… Continue reading Sunday Short: An Abduction by Tessa Hadley
