Lana Del Rey for VOGUE Australia

Lana Del Rey for Vogue Australia

Photographer: Nicole Bentley

Fashion Editor: Christine Centenera

Hair: Anna Cofone

Make-up: Pamela Cochrane

Manicure: Mandi Levanah

Sorry, for the lack of posting for a while, time just went by.

How stunning is this Lana Del Rey shoot for Vogue? Simply beautiful- I love the clothes, makeup, hair, room, props, everything! It just screams to me everything I love. I must say, I wasn't always a fan of Lana Del Rey, I wasn't taken by her music, but I was inspired to draw this cover of Vogue, and thought it was only fitting to listen to this songstress at the same time, and was pleasantly surprised by the variety of songs on her album until a faulty fire alarm caused me to evacuate the building at midnight.

None of the Lana Del Rey imagery would be new to Aussies, but hopefully any international folk will have never seen it before.

Flattery's Bedroom

Breanne from Flattery just did a lovely post about her recent room decorating- and I love it. It's quirky and sweet. I also love it because it's her actual room and therefore has stuff in it- the worst thing about looking at interior design magazines and site is that you can never actually achieve the look because you have too much stuff (or maybe that's just me) or because you have sentimental things that must be on display however, they do not go with the theme of the room.
Therefore, I find this kind of mismatched, quirky, vintage decoration perfect, because you can feature all of your collectables and it still looks good.
I dream of the day where I can completely decorate a room myself, and paint. I've always had to put up with the baby blue walls my parents chose before I was born, and frankly, I'm more of a pink and purple person. And well, at college, it's whatever's cheapest, at least I have blue not faded orange curtains this year!
You can check out the post here!
Hope you had a lovely day, mine was great before I put a tissue in the wash!

Pony Anarchy Magazine

My favourite online magazine read Pony Anarchy has finally released their seventh issue. Filled with beautiful photography and illustration this issue is amazing, the magazine get bigger and better with every issue. I do hope that one day they release it in print (I am more partial to be able to feel -and smell- books and magazines). But for now I will continue to read the online goodness here!

I should also mention that the editor is the very talented Kristie Webster, who is about my age. When seeing people like her and athletes in their late teens and early twenties win gold medals at the Olympics really make me feel like I have achieved nothing in my nineteen years! I do hope I continue onto something great like these amazing people! 

I guess that since this is a Monday, I should post something musically- last Friday I purchased Two Door Cinema Club's latest album Beacon and the Vaccines' Come of Age. Both are amazing and definitely didn't have that whole second album disaster thing. I highly recommend you go out and buy them!

Fashion Is A Playground

Today's style inspiration comes from yet another style blog (sorry, I'm just loving 'stalking' other people at the moment haha). This one is from French blogger, Aurelia from Fashion is a Playground. Not only are the photo set in France (making them a million times better than any other fashion bloogers photos) but I find her what appears to be Alexa Chung inspired looks to be amazing, with the right combination of preppy, vintage, rocker and tomboy. 

I really love the salmon coloured jeans!

Hope your week has been swell- the weather here in Adelaide has been horrible the past couple of days, and with no Olympics or Masterchef Australia all I have to do is homework! Well at, least it's getting done, I suppose...

Quirky Interior Design

(One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten)

Why hello,

Just thought I might do a little interior post. I've been thinking a lot about how I would decorate my own house (when the time comes). Going by these photos, I am thinking white walls, retro furniture, lots of picture frames, a library (of course!), pink and green accents, and my favourite, plant life!

All of these images were found on this tumblr: http://interiorporn.tumblr.com/

I suppose it comes from it being the time of the year when students at residential colleges are deciding whether to stay at college another year or to move out. I want to stay, out  of convenience and because I don't know where I will live when I've finished my degree so I don't want to go to all of the trouble of preparing an apartment, however, lots of my friends are probably moving out, so if they do I may be living on my own (just so any potential flatmates don't have to re-organise someone if I decide to leave, and sometimes I wouldn't have time to cook anything but two-minute noodles, etc.) Ah decisions!

Meanwhile, I have had a fabulous day! Both of my lecturers liked my studio work (very unusual), and I was invited to the pub for lunch (ah student life, no drinking by most though). So all in all a nice day! Hope yours was just as good- Tara :) xx
