i heart Fleur Lux
Amazing stuff. Somehow it just brings the words "female fragility" to my mind. Hypnotic, earnest and endearing these girls look complicated, these images are complex, aggressive yet vulnerable. Fleur Lux.
i heart Stacey Page
I listened to The Cure Love Cats while looking at this artist, and it somehow fits so nicely I think you should too. Quirky, slightly disturbing yet playful and delightful. There's something sinister in there, I think it has something to do with the notion the photos have actually been stabbed repeatedly with pins in the process of hand sewing these masks and patterns on top. There is something disturbing about effecting/ masking/ stabbing/ scratching out faces that's deeply ingrained in the human psyche. Take a look at Stacey Page. I hope she goes far, it's great stuff.

i heart How to be An Explorer of the World
By Keri Smith. This book is completely hand written. It's very impressive. I love how she includes the references for ideas so this book leads on to so many other people. This book changes your life. It makes you think. It makes you look. It's brilliant. Read this, start looking, start collecting, and this book will change you, in a beautiful way.

i heart Kester Black
Kester Black is the brainchild of Anna Ross. Who just so happens to also be from my hometown in New Zealand. Another one to look out for. Her latest carved wooden animal collection pulls at my heart strings. So much love and care and craftsmanship has gone into the pieces. The stones are beautiful and mystical too. Kester Black is making a real hit in Melbourne, and rightly so, its beautiful stuff you can cherish for life.
i heart Christian Dior Spring 2011 RTW
i heart FFFFOUND!
These images are quoted from but does it float? I don't quite know how to work this new sharing website thing, but I'll get onto it. FFFFOUND! Thanks to the cool kid who kept me up to the tech' on this one. It's got some amazing ideas and works on it. I'm glad I found it.

i heart Bambi in NO Magazine
The top in the top image is Karen Walker. I love this geometric bracelet in the bottom image. Think the grey shorts/ bottoms are Stolen Girlfriends Club or Kate Sylvester. Love NO Magazine. It's one of the best, so happy it made it over to Australia last year. Another great New Zealand mag taking over the world.
i heart Hijirik Studios
From NYC and Brooklyn. In the age of digital printing there seems to be a real resurgence back to the beautiful art and craft of the printing press. It truly is an art and craft. It takes real patience and work. It is so satisfying and produces such a finer finish, I can see why it draws people in. Living what you love is so incredibly hard, honestly! An every day reminder is such a wonderful and beautiful idea. Check out the Blog Heart Fish and the Etsy shop.
i heart Orange Pants
Of course those amazing orange pants on Michael Jackson get a mention. The men's wear is Jil Sander. The top image I stole from the Maurie and Eve blog.

i heart Little Doe
I think these Rave people don't exist like normal human beings. They're actually nymphs and when there isn't a rave on, they turn back into trees. They're pulled out like sap when they hear the crazy trance music and drum n bass music emanating from the outdoor rave and slowly merge from the trees around you. That's why you never see people this cool or hippie-licious living a normal life, going to get their soy latte at 8am to head to work on time, hungover as fuck, wearing sunglasses to hide from the world. No, they don't actually exist like the rest of us, they must have some kind of magical powers to just disappear from normal, everyday existence and live a purely magical party life. I mean, look at them.
i heart Jasmin Sparrow
With a beautiful mix of magic, indigenous culture, sports style and with a little bit of 'Where the Wild Things Are' attitude, this is the perfect mix for all the summer festivals. I can't wait for the real deal Summertime. Hot. I want to look like this. With a poncho and some other crazy-ass random stuff. Dancing around without a care in the world with my feather hair piece. Nonchalant and youthful. Beautiful. Jasmin Sparrow. Love the blog too.
