SALLY

Currently saving my pennies (and counting down to my Birthday) for the Chloe’ “Sally” bag.
It may not be a new season bag but man is it beautiful?!!
Being from the 09 collection just proves to me that it is not some on trend fad bag. In fact in my opinion it’s actually more of a timeless classic which I could easily love forever.

“Sally” has got it going on, with structure, clean lines and a pleasantly deceiving size. Made with soft pebble textured leather and kept in shape with gold hardware I feel like this bag could be worn on any occasion.
As you can probably tell, I am completely sold on the "Sally" bag and now the only decision left to make is the colour! Somehow I’ve managed to narrow it down to three to choose from… Classic (boring?) black, deep purple or forest green.

What do you think?

LONG TIME

Coming?? No see??

My life is currently consist of working, cleaning and sorting. Dave has been working ridic hours (last week he worked 73hours in six days, eww) so I feel like nothing fun has happened in agggges. Luckily it's Daves B'day this Saturday and Two Suns are playing a show at the Jade Monkey... def something which I am looking forward too.
I imagine the night will look something like this:

NB: My drink is much more likely to be vodka.

In work related things, I am so dying to see True Grit, Black Swan and The Kings Speech. You would think I would have seen them all already right? Well no, and now I think I'm in for some kind of movie marathon day (to get them all in asap), because I am so over seeing tiny but probably crucial parts when doing my cinema checks.

In other news, I have a new awesome and upgraded computer which is seriously the best, but currently I'm unable to use the USB or CD drives which completely limits the amount of photo uploading and Red House related business that can do, boo! A new collection is on its way and will be "sneak peaked" to everyone on Mon/Tues via la blog and Facebook. Can't wait.
It seems (although I didn't think it was possible) I am falling more and more in love with vintage, clothes & fashion everyday and have so many massively massive plans for the expansion and general running of the Red House Vintage shop. I'm super excited for what this year is going to hold. Did I also, mention that I have found the dreamiest pair of 70's boots of all time, postage from the UK is $75 but I think they could be worth it (I am an extreme bargain hunter and spending that much on postage alone kills a little part of me inside).

Anyway, that is so enough rambling on my behalf. I am taking a camera out with me this weekend and promise to have photos galore to post soon! Much Red House Love XXX

MISTY SUMMER

So dreamy it hurts!

I wish I could wear a massive fur jacket in the middle of summer but it's definatley more likely I'll be getting a round in a sweet crochet lace dress. If I can find one in time!!

SERIOUSLY

Could I be more slack lately? Or maybe it's just that I'm continuing to be a really super boring person. ugh.
Anyway I checked out the Stella McCartney collection in my local Target and the two pieces I was most interested in weren't even there! Not because they had sold out, they just didn't get them in store. su-uh-uk. I was super disappointed about this I failed to really look at anything else on offer, except of course the super cute black round hat which is easily my favour tie piece anyway.

On the bottom of my priorities (but top of my wants) list this week is a new couch. About two years ago Dave and I found the most amazing lounge set in an op shop and scooped it up (pre moving out it was so good) It is gold and had an amazing wallpaper like pattern, comfortable and probably the best looking set of lounges of all time. Unfortunately the main two seater has failed to stand up to our high demands of sit time and has decided to start sinking. So we are now on the look out for the perfect two-three seater to fit right into our lounge.
Here's what I'm thinking...

None of these are exactly perfectly what we want but they are all pretty cool. It needs to be big comfortable and fit right into our 60s/70s lounge room decor. Apparently (after accessing these photos) I want it to be velvet... and I guess it either needs to match our existing lounge chairs or contrast against them. Blue? Deep purple? hmmmmmm...

STELLA

Stella McCartneys new collection for Target launches tomorrow and it is all so ridiculously lovely. Love the navy, the lace, the silk!!! Seriously considering requesting an early christmas present! But what to choose?

The Gathered Silk Dress in black and the Lace Dress in French Blue are my two favourite pieces. I can't wait to tempt myself some more and try them both on tomorrow. Check out the whole collection here. Hope it's as good as it all looks! I'll let you know tomorrow night. XX

MOSS!

Ok! So I feel very passionatly about not letting this blog become one of those where all I do is post "what inspires me today, here are a gazillion photos I just googled for you" but sometimes I just cant help myself. Especially when it comes to fashion shoots, editorials, campaigns, designer collections and great models with style.
And it can't be denied, Kate Moss is queen of all of those things.
So here is Miss. Moss working it! in the September '10 issue of Vogue UK.
