What I'm reading...

It's all about Kate.

Franzastic...

Last night, Franz Ferdinand performed an energetic set at the Enmore in Sydney. They are totally great live, really if you haven't seen them live, you should next time they are in town. Lots of fun and I couldn't stop staring at how fast Nick McCarthy was strumming the guitar. Freaky!

Favourite song of the night: Ulysees.

The support band Temper Trap also impressed me big time. Their song Sweet Disposition has been floating around in my head all day. Check out the video.

What I actually got for my birthday...

Vintage 1970s Gold Heart Necklace from my sister, Ros

Art Deco Bird Mug and Saucer from my sisters and Bird Oil

Ohhhh Mr Flowers

So it was birthday yesterday and I asked for Brandon Flowers, but all I got was this GQ photo shoot. Totally hot. Worked for me.

Hi 2009!

Scenes captured in Adelaide in frightening moments of quiet, while away from the desk over the Chrissie break.

Layer them up gals...

Clockwise from top left: Gold Rose Bangle by Bec & Bridge, Gold
Geometric Bangle by Indy C, Thin Floral Cream Bangle and Thick
Red Floral Bangles by Tree of Life.

Can't get enough of bangles at the moment. What is great is all the ones photographed are between $7-$30, so you can afford to really layer them up in different combinations.

I am particularly into those boho-esque floral ones, worked back with metals.
