I am absolutely loving this silver birch candle from Cox & Cox. Made from a section of real silver birch trunk, I think they'd look stunning in a little cluster on your christmas table or just dotted around the room. There's something very whimsical about these little treasures. Available from Cox & Cox.
It's just the strangest thing
I'm loving this advent calendar that Sweet Paul made from match boxes. I think I might try one myself – yes, I have left it a little late, but better late than never! Here's how to make one of your own:
You used to shine so bright 
Dan Martensen and Shannan Click have the most beautiful home. They make pickles and have a barn. Jealous much? Yes, yes I am. Check out more of their gorgeous abode at The Selby.
One of my favourite perfumes is Play EDT by Commes des Garcons. It's a unisex scent but is quite masculine with notes of bitter orange, black pepper, lime, saffron, thyme, sage, sea notes, oak moss, patchouli and musk. It smells utterly divine. The perfect gift for the person who has everything. Available in Australia from Mecca Cosmetica.
Now as you can tell, I'm very excited about Christmas, so had to share Sweet Paul's 'Holiday Countdown' with you. One of the things I love most about Sweet Paul is his wonderful Christmas craft and recipe ideas. From now until Christmas, Sweet Paul will share Christmas goodies with us everyday. If you are as crazy about Christmas as we are, make sure you check in with Sweet Paul as often as you can.
The count down to Christmas is on. We put our tree up on the weekend. Putting our tree up is always a big deal in our family, we have special Christmas music, photos, food and a jolly old time. It has to be one of my favorite days of the year.
House Industries have heaps of awesome Christmas gifts on their website, but I thought these would make great stocking fillers – who doesn't want/need Alphabet Tape?
I'm loving these wall decals Cody Hudson has done for Bodega. The concept behind Bodega's large scale, eco-friendly, temporary indoor art is to make the art of emerging and established artists affordable and available to the public. The decals have been made using eco-friendly inks and vinyl.
Who says I can't be free
White is such a summery colour. It's so fresh and pretty. Maybe I'll change my black wardrobe for a white one.
Today's unicorn magic is french actor Gaspard Ulliel. Love it.
The new John Mayer album 'Battle Studies' is (in my opinion) a great Christmas gift for any one, unless they have a problem with gorgeous, talented men. It's easy to listen to and inspiring. There's also a great collaboration between Mayer and Taylor Swift.

We have posted about Pony Rider before and are totally in love with their range of cushions and 'Teakins'. The problem is, I can't decide which design to add to my wish list. Visit the Pony Rider website to pick your favourite.
It was my birthday on Monday and I had the most lovely day. The weather was deliciously warm so we had a lazy day drinking iced chai, eating macaroons and reading the wonderful books I received as gifts. It was perfect. Getting older really isn't that bad...
This freaking awesome magazine. King Brown, where have you been all my life? I was staying in a cute little suburb of Perth called Leederville. It has a few really rad clothes shops and restaurants (and a fantastic skate-ish shop I can't recall the name of?!) and a shop called Remedy where I found this gem and fell in love. As you guys probably know by now, I'm a bit of a magazine freak and when I fall in love with a mag, I fall hard and fast. I am completely and utterly in awe of this fine article. Check out more King Brown here. Love it.
Yesterday was Zee's birthday! I feel terrible that I didn't post this on time. I got lost somewhere between the cupcakes, the macaroons and the iced chai. Happy Birthday my darling, light of my life, daily inspiration and dearest friend. Love you x
Zee, Anooke and I have come up with a new style called "wizard chic". It's a cross between Professor McGonagal of Harry Potter and, well, chic. For this shoot I was really inspired by Jan von Holleben's series called "Dreams of Flying". I absolutely love the set ups that Jan comes up with and we wanted to style our "wizard chic" shoot in the same way. Although our photos are not as polished as Jan's, We're still happy with the final product. We processed the photos with Sheye Rosemeyer’s Eyecandy Actions. I totally love the way that “Vintage Wash” gave the image that “straight out of the Daily Prophet” look. Thank you to our gorgeous model Anooke, an absolute star as always.We hope you enjoy wizard chic as much as we do.

Anna Beth Chao. Wow, what a woman. This design freak and her husband have been re-decorating their Louisiana home one room at a time and it's absolutely breathtaking. I just love her style and the choices she has made for each room, even down to the amazing little bits and pieces around the house. I'm so jealous. Her little design tips and insights are hilarious. I love her and I've never even met her. I can't wait to see how the rest of the house evolves. Anna documents the reno on her website here.

I love Christmas. Actually I'm crazy about it. It's my favourite time of year. I love the build up – the music, shopping for gifts, decorating the house, choosing a wrapping theme, baking, Christmas craft, you name it, I love it. Since the big day isn't far away, we thought we'd share a few gift ideas with you over the coming weeks.Z All rights reserved © Blog Milk Powered by Blogger
