EYE CANDY : YELLOW! HOW ARE YOU?
Yellow facts : According to SensationalColour.com 75% of the pencils sold in the US were yellow, yellow is psychologically the happiest colour in the spectrum, it encourages communication and stimulates mental processes and memory and also apparently yellow cars have fewer accidents.I have a bit of a yellow craze going on at the moment, to wear it and to live in it is a big yes please! But I have definitely been hoarding quite the collection of lemon splashed interiors that I had to share, hopefully all this bright hue saturation will make your week a little brighter too!

FRENCH CARAFE VIA BUYSTER
I am a huge fan of snail mail, the anticipation and excitement of waiting for a letter or parcel is such a buzz...Hence why I could be seen peeking out from the curtains all this week just waiting for a special delivery; and its finally here! My beautiful French Carafe Set from Buyster.com.au by Royal VKB. (made in France =Trés fancy pants!)
Take a look at the shots I snapped yesterday, can't you just imagine this 'centre table' at a summer BBQ? or full of nice winter wine at a dinner party? I can! and am looking forward to any excuse to bring it out.
And the best part? the 4 glasses that come with are all stackable within the neck so it will only take one hand to tote this bit of fancy around the next soirée! leaving the other hand free to do whatever a party host should do. (Suggestions include: waving, high-five-ing, blowing obnoixious air kisses, thumbs up or peace signs)

PACKAGING & PRODUCT DESIGN : MOR COSMETICS
Every time I walk though a David Jones I always lose a little time admiring* (*see also: drooling over) the packaging for MOR Cosmetics, I'm a lover of packaging and product design and when it is done well it can be such an art-form. And I don't think I've ever met a MOR product that wasn't absolutely stunning and creative (At the moment my faves are their pieces with wooden accents)...also it doesn't hurt that all their products are deliciously good and from an Australian brand.
BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS/BEAUTIFUL FRIEND
I adore fresh flowers and would love to fill my home with a new bunch every week! which is why I was so grateful last night when one very lovely friend arrived with this bunch of pretty in her hand. Aren't random kind gestures the best sort... thank-you! X

HANDMADE BUY OF THE DAY : NURSERY DECAL
Decals are such a fantastic idea and I can't wait until they are more readily available in everyday stores, but there is so much of an online shopping selection right now, particulary on Etsy, that you don't have to wait. How gorgeous is this blossom tree for a Nursery! Super quick and easy way to turn any room into baby's, and still have the freedom to change your mind, or your decorating scheme the next day. Buy this decal (or something similar, they have a great range!) at Designed Designer's Etsy Shop. It comes in a variety of colours and is a nice large size!

A POSSIBLE DIY
Last week I happened across this artwork for sale in a local furniture store. Something so simple is super effective, and while I'm not sure the boyfriend would dig the Butterfly look I wonder if I could make something similar...I was think Letters or numbers, hearts or ??? I liked how they did Two in a group (which I neglected to photograph) it gave more substance to the display, and how they were hung to just hover over a side table. They were priced at $80, so I think if I could find some nice shadow box frames and textured paper I could save plenty!
Happy Monday!

A LOVE LETTER / WRITINGS ON THE WALL
The first 3 images are from a project called Love Letter run by Stephen Powers with the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program. The last are just an example of the almost 3000 murals that brighten up the walls of Philadelphia.

RUNWAY TOP 6 : BURBERRY PRORSUM S10
My top 6 picks from Burberry's Spring 2010 runway. There was so much variety but within really strict limits which is impressive. Im loving the subtle colour range and colour blocking, especially the lilac and bone. The construction and silhouettes are impeccable! the amazing twisting and that draping - gorgeous! the skirts probably could have headed into nappy territory but the fit and fabric saves them. Also can I please have one of those belts, I'm drooling over the chestnut colour...and while Im making requests, the first coat aswell! Anyone know what its made out of? maybe a textured wool?
