Sweetest sweet potato

June 22, 2011

A sweet little sweet potato experiment done by a young girl obviously into the idea of organics. Informative and gorgeous. Great to see kids asking questions about the food we eat, and taking it into their own hands.

Sweet little kicky retro Friday video reminding us that summer will return. And then we can all just jump about on lawns with pastel coloured trinkets, macarons and best friends.

Wonder years

May 10, 2011

Loved interviewing six women – Yumi Stynes, Sandra Sully, Margaret Pomeranz, Fleur Wood, Margaret Fulton and Nicole Trunfio – for the Sunday Life cover story on the weekend. Having fun in your 20s, rearing a family in your 30s or getting wise in your 60s – at what age do women feel most fulfilled? Kate [...]

Hungry

May 10, 2011

A controversial and swear-ridden viral video featuring Aria chef Matt Moran has been making the rounds. In the iPhone video, on the set of an advertisement, Moran yells at a crew member who throws out some food Moran has plated up. Here it is. It has been revealed though, that the video was in fact a [...]

Boy crush

April 12, 2011

Bit of a professional crush on Brendan Maclean, who can sing and is funny. What’s not to like. He wrote on Twitter recently.. “@macleanbrendan If you watch 127 Hours backwards it’s an uplifting story about a disabled man finding an arm in the desert #moviesbackwards”

Illustrations & walls

April 8, 2011

Beautiful things by Arian Behzadi. Trying to figure out where I can buy these images to hang on bare walls. Love the newspaper clippy montage thing he has going on.

The Makers

March 23, 2011

Just love this photo documentary by Jennifer Causey, who’s The Makers project involves photographing people who make things. She says of her undertaking “I soon realised I was also photographing people who make things happen”. As the project evolves, so does the adventure and pleasure of documenting the people behind the products, she says: to learn [...]

Cavalier essentials

March 21, 2011

Oh spare us the unrelenting, delicious cool. This gorgeous line of vintage products is designed for the rugged, yet sophisticated gentleman. “If Steve McQueen carried a beat-up leather duffle bag on the back of his motorcycle; what would be in it and how would the products look?” Well, like this.

Tuna ceviche

March 21, 2011

This is my totally easy, throw it all together starter to have just after drinks and just before some more fussed over main. It’s half way between a ceviche and a tartare, partly cooked by a little lime juice but not overly soaked in it. Besides, when you have such a perfect slab of sashimi [...]

This & that

March 2, 2011

1. Blahblah cushion: Maybe it appeals for its literary cool, but the graphic is also quite quaint. 2. Missoni Home cushion: scatter-worthy in the most pretty colours ever. Pick up at Missoni or from Selfridges, as with the other cushions, online. 3. Some days you just need a pillow that says it all for you. 4. [...]

Conran’s eye candy hotel

February 24, 2011

This completely gorgeous hotel is Sir Terence Conran’s first foray into hotel design. The English designer, oddly, has gone to Vienna to showcase his clear talent. There’s not standard issue room design, and instead a nod to individual modernity is made in each room. The design reflects a dedication to modernity and high quality materials [...]

Honey by the tonne

February 10, 2011

How sweet it is to visit Kangaroo Island’s colony of Ligurian bees, writes Kate Gibbs Perhaps its their renegade status that keeps us enthralled with the bee: hard workers, mass producers, a sense of social order, the mystical ability to turn an egg into a queen, and a violent sting to boot. “Next to humans, [...]
