Just Friends Tea Cup

It's almost Autumn and that means exchanging iced tea for the warm and cosy kind. This tea cup from little flower designs is perfect for a cuppa the good stuff. $30 each.

Kusco-Murphy Beach Hair


This isn't just a covet item, I actually own and use this stuff and it's great. It makes my messy hair look cute and pruposefully messy. $29 at C.O. Bigelow Chemists.

fused glass cufflinks

There is nothing sexier on a shirt than a nice pair of cufflinks. I'm serious, I really wish they'd make a comback on everyday shirts. In case you're hip enough to rock the French Cuff, you'll be glad to know that Happy Owl Glassworks has you covered with a delightful assortment of cufflinks for only $35 a pair. (My personal favourite is the Porcupine.)

Corace Address Book

With this cute address book you'll never again hunt through random scraps of paper jammed in your wallet wondering whose phone number that is. $24 at Giant Robot. (Just in case you can't live without scraps of paper, it has a pocket to hold them as well.)

Asymmetrical Skirt


While we're speaking of asymmetrical clothes, Amet and Sasha's Asymetrical Skirt has been the top item on my wishlist for an age. At only $65 it's really reasonable for a hand tailored item, plus it's totally cute. As soon as I've hit my fighting weight I'm going to reward myself by ordering one.

Funnel Neck Cardigan

I have a thing for asymmetricality in clothing, that little bit of mess that keeps something from looking too neat and therefore imbues the item with real character and ease.
And this cardigan from Anthropologie may just be this season's biggest covet for me. I only wish it came in a colour like brown or a dark pea green, rather than grey, but at $198, it's not like I can afford one anyway.
