Lemming

I am lemming Hanneli's orange silk shirt.
As also admired on Harper & Harley.

Lemming
noun
1. Small rodent, usually found in or near the Arctic, in tundra biomes. Popular misconception that lemmings commit mass suicide when migrating.
2. 1990s puzzle computer game. Fair amount of mass suicide.
3. Term used on the Vogue forum. To desire something posted by another user. Tends to spark nationwide shortages and mild hysteria (much to the confusion/amusement of retail assistants). For example "I am lemming those Acne boots". No mass suicide but you get the gist.

Quoted

"It had to be very all or nothing. But that's what it had to be. Before making the break I'd talk about a career shift or a move abroad, and then I'd drink some wine with friends and decide that actually I'd quite like membership to Shoreditch House and go skiing after Christmas. Any my dreams would fall away to jumpsuits from Whistles. Because its easy to buy into the hopes of others; your insecurities and competitiveness leaving you to chase someone else's dream. If they want it, so should you."

Nostagia

Seeing Sigrid Thornton at a Q&A screening of The Man from Snowy River reminded me just how great Australian cinema can be.

It also made me miss SeaChange... time for some gratuitous Diver Dan.

Squeaky clean

APC Fine Fabric Care by Aesop

Lovely spicy, lemon-y smell. You need only half a tablespoon so it lasts quite a while. Aesop have recently updated their website. 

Wow. Just wow.

Vintage Chanel blouse

I found this cream Chanel chiffon blouse at Mrs Peels' in Leura. I love the zig-zag detailing on the cuffs and down the front and each of the buttons are stamped "Chanel" on the back. A lucky find, the owner had only [reluctantly] placed it on the floor by the owner two days earlier. I'm guessing its from the 80s or early 90s.

I love Saturdays
