Magazine Awe

Since we are already discussing things all bright and pretty, behold...



This amazing online mag is divine... Like makes me wanna get 7 part time jobs to pay for this stuff (BUT, that is a major over-exaggeration).

Just see for yourself:

Ottomans that can be coffee tables = brilliant

I. WANT. THESE. CHAIRS

The bedroom is gorgeous, especially the carpet.

Love the clean look of this kitchen, but mine would be clean too if I was having a photo shoot in my house :)

Love,

Ikat is pretty much everywhere right now and I LOVE IT!!!!

Outfit of the week - $200 or less!



Vintage flare meets modern working girl charm.

This skirt's gold threading and waist are show stoppers. Its color and fabric make it a summer basic. Pair it with a basic ivory silk blouse and this fun necklace, and you've got the perfect vintage-chic work ensemble. We love the addition of red Jessica Simpson platform sandals for a pop of color!

Madchen skirt, $49.95
Ralph Lauren silk blouse, $38.95
Jessica Simpson studded sandals, $22.95
Gold globe necklace, $58.95

Grand Total: $170.80

These pieces can be found at Current's DC location

Slacker

I warned you that blog slackiness was headed your way. We have been uber-buzy, both work and getting ready for a holiday weekend and our trip to Spain.

I need a vacation to like a cold, dark bedroom. Give me 12 hours in a comfy bed and I am good to go.

Anyways, I wanted to bring light two blogs that I crazy in love with right now. Behold the awesome-ness !!!









I hope to be a better blogger this week (don't hold your breath on that one though).

Love,

Australian Inspiration and Shop Updates!


Some things that make me happy about my time in Australia.... Inspired by films and theatre I have seen, places I have been, among other things....

From top: Incu, a pretty cool boutique in Sydney, cupcakes from Sparkle (Surry Hills, Sydney), a look from Melbourne based Lady Petrova's "Peace Hotel" collection (I am stocking her line in Audrey Grace), a look from Lover's "A Dance for One Collection," an Aussie label that is truly beautiful, still from Peter Weir's Picnic At Hanging Rock (I wrote a paper on this film for my course here), Cate Blanchett as Lucinda in Gillian Armstrong's Oscar and Lucinda, Emily Browning and Rachael Blake in Sleeping Beauty (saw it at the film festival and not crazy about the film.. but beautiful cinematography), promotional image for The Seagull at Belvoir Street Theatre (seeing this Wednesday), Judy Davis in My Brilliant Career, Miranda Otto and cast in The White Guard at Sydney Theatre Company (it was great, and also met Miranda- saw it last week), Frankie magazine- the best- don't know what I am going to do without it!, a koala- I got to cuddle one the other day, macaroons from La Belle Miette, Melbourne.

The shop is coming along so well. I have been so busy here yet still steadily working on it. I am working with so many Aussies! Have some exciting shoots coming up soon.. working with the lovely Jeannine Tan on a "Picnic at Hanging Rock/Virgin Suicides" shoot to be displayed in store as well as another with Ella Ruth Cowperthwaite inspired by Audrey and Grace. I am so excited about these shoots!
Also, I believe Audrey Grace will be stocking a few select pieces by the beautiful label Sretsis (above). I'm also working with the lovely Alyssa Nicole and will be stocking her adorable line named, Alyssa Nicole

Talk soon.

Happy Birthday Aaron!

 Happy Birthday Hubs! I am so excited to celebrate your first birthday as a married couple :)




Yay for a birthday celebrations with all the fam jams :)
 Love,

Cate!




Last night I met this lady.... She is amazing and we had an extended conversation (about 5 minutes!) I went to a small cocktail party at Sydney Theatre Company and she walked in.. She is such an inspiration to me. It was an amazing night. Above is Cate in Givenchy Couture at the Oscars this year. Love this dress. She looked great last night too.
Many updates on my lovely store coming very soon. I have been really busy!
