SHOP | The Project

SHOP | The Project

Posted by December 03, 2013
I mentioned in my post yesterday that I had gotten a new job. I'm working at Buratti Editions in Fremantle, in the old Myer building. I actually missed out on the launch party, which I was really bummed about (Clare, Emma and Bonnie did some great blog posts on it!) but now I'm here a few days a week and I really love it! It's such a great project and so much better than the Myer that was here before... or even worse, having it all boarded up and out of use!

There's a bunch of rad stores in there, like Kate + Abel, Six Threads (which has the likes of Bikini Atoll and On A Whim), Sue Lewis chocolates, Urban Locavore and the Feast Your Eyes gallery, and it really is an awesome place to visit if you're ever in Fremantle. 

It's ridiculously tempting to work around such pretty things all day... and how great is this Fishmas tree? Those are ALL tins of sardines (which I tried for the first time a few weeks ago and I have to say they weren't half bad). 


So if you're ever around the area pop in and have a look! It's definitely worth the train ride!

{p.s You might have seen this around the Perth blogs as the MYRE Project... unfortunately the powers-that-be at Myer decided this was no bueno and so it's simply called 'The Project' for now!}

SHOP | Breaking Bad

SHOP | Breaking Bad

Posted by August 06, 2013
Only a few days now until the last episodes of Breaking Bad, so I had to make it the shopping feature this week. I'll be a bit sad when it comes to an end, won't you? It's also driving me crazy because I have no idea how, exactly, it will end. Although the show's twists are always just crazy enough to work, I can't help feeling that the writers are going to troll us all and this will have just been a world that some meth addict dreamed up or something. 

But man, it's just such a good show. Bryan Cranston especially just gives me the chills. Most of the shows I adore feature at least a little tackiness, but this show is like drinking a smooth, expensive glass of scotch after only ever having vodka cruisers. Or, indeed, trying Walter White's meth after having the far inferior meth, if a more apt metaphor were to be used (I guess?). Here's some brilliant Breaking Bad things I found on Etsy, if you want to take your love of the show to the next level...
'Yeah, Mr White' brooch | Kate Rowland Illustration
Breaking Bad charm bracelet | little Samantics
Walt and Jesse stud earrings | Meowheads {looks like the Etsy shop listings have expired, but hopefully she'll be back soon!}
Better Call Saul tote | One Wild Oat
Heisenberg quotes | Big Bad Wolf
Breaking Bad pencils | Pop Culture Pencils

And my favourite prints from Society 6. I could waste hours on that site. So far I've bought these Liz Lemon and Leslie Knope prints and a Biggie poster that has the lyrics for 'Big Poppa' in French... I have diverse tastes I guess.
If you just can't wait til August 11 to get your hit, have a look through these AMAs by members of the cast - you've got Bryan Cranston, Bob Odenkirk, Giancarlo Esposito, RJ Mitte, and even the guy who gets his head squished by an ATM in that one episode. And Aaron Paul's starts at 4pm EDT! Ahhhhhh!

WEIRD THINGS I BUY | Part Two

WEIRD THINGS I BUY | Part Two

Posted by August 03, 2013
Here is the long overdue follow-up to this post! Yes, of course I am still buying slightly odd things from every corner of the internet... here's what I've picked up lately. 


I saw this shirt in an Instagram from XoJane's Emily and about five minutes later I had ordered it. I don't really know why, I'm not even a huge Motorhead fan and DEFINITELY would not recommend going to bed with them in any sense, but it made me laugh and at 10:45 on a Saturday night when I'm at home online shopping, that's enough of an incentive for me. 

BOOBS & BOMBS SHOWER CURTAIN | Family Jewels (via Urban Outfitters)
I first saw this shower curtain when it was $64, and while I really kind of loved it, paying $64 for a shower curtain seemed a little ridiculous. But I checked back around sale time and it was reduced to $30! Yes! It's sadly sold out now, so if you wanted a shower curtain with various pairs of boobs (and some singular boobs, which is a bit odd) then YOU'RE OUTTA LUCK. Because I know how high the boobs-on-shower-curtain demand is. 

This is another thing that I was waiting to go down in price before I could justify buying it. And oh happy day, it was only around twenty bones when I ordered it this week! I can't wait to do a li'l shimmy and make the fringing flap in the breeze. The simple things in life, ya know.

MARNEY JEANS | ASOS
Okay, not at all weird, but weird for ME! Do you know the last time I bought a pair of jeans?! It was probably around the time I started this blog. I think I wore them to a Coldplay concert (blergh). Anyway, I was really happy with these jeans and defs would recommend them BUT make sure you get the right size! I bought a size up from usual because my hips don't lie and jeans usually are a tad unflattering, but these ones have quite a lot of stretch in them and are already way too big. But I love them so much I'm thinking of buying another pair anyway.

Sadly not quite as odd as the last time - no celebrity badges or Morissey jumpers - so if you know of any weird/cool shops out there please let me know!

SHOP | Parks & Recreation

SHOP | Parks & Recreation

Posted by June 13, 2013
I'd heard so many great things about Parks & Recreation but I'd never watched more than the first few episodes. WHATTA CRIME! When I was sick a couple of weeks ago I made my way through the whole thing and I LOVED IT. I should have known anything with Amy Poehler in it would be amazing. Well, maybe not everything... anyone remember Baby Mama? No? Exactly (sorry Amy).

 I'm not sure when season six comes out but I'll be waiting! And probably rewatching the entire series at some point. To tide me over, I rounded up some of my favourite Parks & Recreation items I've found.
{clockwise from top left}
1 | Ron Swanson nail decals from NailSpin, $5.40
2 | Scented Butter & Maple Syrup Waffle Necklace from Tiny Hands jewellery, $28 {Amy Poehler actually wore this on the show!}
3 | Ron Swanson cross-stitch from Cincinnati Threads, $21.59
4 | Treat Yo Self embroidery hoop from Stitch Culture, $36.71
5 | April and Andy cross-stitch pattern from You Make Me Sew Happy, $3.23
6 | Papa Ban's Low Cal Calzone Zone shirt from Red Bubble, $26.94
7 | Li'l Sebastian plush toy from NBC shop, $19
8 | I Love Bacon cookbook from Modcloth, $19.99
9 | 'Wonder With A Whisker' cookie cutter set from Modcloth, $12.99

 And my three favourite prints... The middle artist is really fantastic and does an awesome Liz Lemon print as well. I want to get both of them and hang them in my living room.
1 | Parks & Recreation poster by Shanti Draws from Society 6, $17
2 | Leslie Knope print by Heymonster from Society 6, $14
3 | Foods of Ron Swanson print from Roaring Softly, $21.59

 And if you need an excuse to purchase any of these lovely items... do I even need to say it?
