Family Affairs (literally, a mother and daughter partnership!) have one of the most beautiful lookbooks i’ve been lucky enough to stumble across. Of course, the clothes are beautiful themselves, but beautiful pictures always ’seal the deal’ for me. There is nothing like beautiful imagery to get me interested in a collection, but Family Affair doesn’t stop there – alongside each picture they detail what the model is wearing, just how it fits, a sugary sweet description of how and where the clothing should be worn and a poignant lyric to match.

 

Reading those beautiful descriptions sent me off into a little Daphne wonderland where all I wanted to do was write postcards, read books and eat cake, unfortunately the idea of me being so reallyreallyreally bad at this blogging-thing pulls me right back to the real world. I am so sorry for all these useless posts I've been posting up this last month and I promise that I'm working on photographs, drawings, bookreviews and anything I actually did all by myself, because honestly; how boring must it be for you beauties to read something you've probably read 100 times before?! So from now on; excpect posts with only my own photographs in it. Or should I just stop entirely? xx

PS: I am planning on giving away one of my drawings! If you want it, just comment here. : )

a peep inside my room.

I have once been told that you can know everything you want about a person by just looking at their rooms and because I have never properly introduced myself, I had a little photoshoot with my desk. Have a look...

♥ Something I made for you.(:

♥ My room is filled with drawings, paper and it's starting to get hard to remember the real colour of my walls... paint everywhere.

♥ Remember the wishlist?

♥ Why am I so embarresed about loving Leonard Cohen?

How does your room looks like?

ps: I just found out about this wonderful artist called Heidi Burton via Art Pixie (really, I could write an ode to that blog) and you can win some of her enchanting art works here.

Wish me luck.

i'm a homesick fairy.

{via Julia (love your blog)}

After spending three days outside with my darling friend Lena reading the Virgin Suicides (for what seemed like the 100 000th time, this is probably the only book I could read over for ever, it's beautiful.) and my beloved Pride and Predjudice, living in a tent we made in the fields with old blankets, drinking the most whimsical tea, looking how the clouds change shapes and making flower necklaces I felt like I was a fairy and now it's hard to be back home stuck doing the same things as always.. Do you ever get homesick to a place that isn't really home, but feels like it? xx

summer.

little drawing I made after first having read 'Emma' and completely falling in love with it.

My summer days smell like fresh paint, pencils, tea and the yellowing pages of my old Jane Austen books.

If "perfect" would have a face, I am pretty sure it would look like summer. I'm spending my days of sun drawing, painting, picniking with friends and in the evenings you can always find me drinking tea and reading my beloved Jane Austen tales next to my open bedroom window. The sky is so peaceful.

Everything is so immensly beautiful once it's touched by the gentle summer, don't you think? xx
