fashion favorite: bonnie & buttermilk

July 20th, 2011 | Author: drawpilgrim

while enjoying the latest edition of kleinformat a cute little photo caught my eye and led me to bonnie & buttermilk! you know when you find something so perfect, so you, that you almost can’t breathe? i clicked through the store like a crazy lady, almost not believing what i was seeing: had someone broken into my head and brought all my ideas for dream outfits into existence? perhaps… but i’m happy they did!

how many ways do i love thee bonnie and buttermilk?

colorful: check!

fun fabrics: check!

cute, simple sihouettes: check!

adorable styling: CHECK!

all photos from bonnie & buttermilk

go forth and shop, friends. and maybe take mr google translate with you if you sprechen sie nicht deutsches!

as seen on etsy: peanut butter and grape jelly

✽ high flyer print ✽ floral platter tray ✽ linen cocktail towel ✽

✽ recipe box ✽ playing cards ✽ vera scarf ✽

✽ london sights linen towel ✽ swirly fabric ✽

i’m a big fan of the purple and golden ochre/’peanut butter and jelly’ color combination: its unexpected, sophisticated but still fun. throw it in some groovy patterns and designs and i’m weak at the knees. how do you feel about these colors together?

✽ multicoloured geometric ✽ suzy pop floral ✽ aqua paisley ✽

✽ mod turquoise ✽ vibrant people ✽ fabric wall hanging ✽

✽ psychedelic hippie fabric ✽ purple pink floral ✽

some fine fabrics for your consideration, today. its difficult to resist the temptation to just make my etsy roundups fabric every week! the last square, the pink and purple floral is my favourite – i’d love a dress made of that. do you have a favourite?

7by7: March 26th 2010

March 25th, 2010 | Author: drawpilgrim

aaaaand i’m back on the horse! back to a 7by7 at last!

best way to start the day? mickey mouse pancakes, but of course! yep, sometimes i can muster the effort to cook breakfast and try and impress a three and a half year old food critic. my only failing was not having any fruit to make poor mickey a face. oops. hopefully that will help me avoid any copyright law suits.

in other parenting news, i’m in the process of updating the nursery to a proper big kid’s room. isn’t this sheet SO cute? it came from etsy, and i’ve got plans to turn it into a duvet cover.

and another cute etsy parcel i received were these vintage circus cards. my son and i like talking about what each person does and how good they are at their job. aren’t they pretty? its kind of bizarre that a ‘fat woman’ is a circus attraction! aren’t the colors pretty though?

pretty fruit in a pretty box. i like catching these moments for 7by7, it makes me appreciate the mundane daily tasks if i spot a spontaneous pretty picture opportunity. i love crisp green apples – but only if they’re cut up! i knocked my front teeth out when i was seven and have had the same caps on my teeth since then = lots of very tentative biting.

mmmm forgotten fabrics. how on earth did i forget i bought these fat quarters at purl’s palace in daylesford?! they were in a paper bag that mysteriously fell down behind a chair. but i found them and it was like discovering buried treasure in the lounge room! aren’t they gorgeous colors and patterns? i’m not sure what to do with them, what would you do?

i got my hair cut and recolored on wednesday, not really big news but ooooh the blow dry! people, the blow dry was. so. good. i love my salon, they have a ruched gold curtain and they never fail me but i’m pretty sure i’ve met my blow-drying soulmate. maxine is an absolute fox with a true appreciation of vintage style. she’s a pin-up queen with quite a way with a brush. any lovers of retro styling should pay her a visit so she can make her dream tiki inspired salon dreams come true! i asked for something kinda sixties, expecting the usual tame flick and half hearted back combing and what i got was incroiablé.

this photo really doesn’t do justice to the height of the back combing, it was epic. and i had curls which i’ve never had before. i left very happy and me and my hair bounced all the way home!

have a lovely weekend. relax, have fun, and come back on monday y’hear!
