Ork Posters!
I love Ork Posters (and they are so enthusiastic they put an exclamation mark after their name!).
I love this – it reminds me of Monsieur Alfonse and his ‘teekie teeker’.
Ork also does a handful of city neighbourhood posters (only US and Canada though… Guys, Paris?).

Spare change
Being very predictable
If something has stripes, you can bet I will like it. And want it.
So, it follows I like this Poppet dress from her new summer collection, and want it.
More Poppet here.
PS: Poppet is the cutest name for a store. The owner also seems to be the cutest thing (aside from being a serious maker of darling clothes): she plays the banjo, particularly to her dog, and she rocks white socks with sandals. Yay!
Smarter than a goldfish
And very pretty too!
I’ll take them in red, and in yellow. And then I’ll stop winging about how I can never find good vegan shoes.

Caroline, stop showing me things I want
Seriously, just stop*.
I love the Paris métro map, I love the colours representing the different lines, the names of the stops, and remembering what is on the surface at my favourite ones. Oh, and which ones are decked in a really clever way (a copper submarine interior anyone? Or how about a steamship?).
And I am the biggest sucker for stripes, and anything with blue white and red excites me no end.
And! On the detail image I can spot two métro stops I lived at: Rome (blue line) and Poissonière (pink line).
This was clearly meant to be mine.
*You know I love you and I don’t mean it right?
Hello, shoes
I wish I hadn’t realised La Redoute could now ship to me in Australia, for a very reasonable price (and tax free!).
And that they stock Bensimon sneakers for cheap, cheap.
Darn tooth surgery.
You can put something on and feel yourself and yet special.
Martha (of Uniform Natural) said so. And since I usually want to buy the whole shop when I visit, I believe her.
As far as clothing is concerned, I don’t have much to spend so I only op-shop (and maybe buy the occasional pair of cheap vegan shoes, since they can be hard to find second-hand). I squirm at the idea of spending a small fortune on a piece of clothing* (especially the chain-store kind) – and I don’t like fashion’s seasonal cycles, or even the word ‘fashion’ itself.
I sometimes have a confidence crisis in the morning when I am getting dressed that I will look too boring, since I dress myself in basics and staples. Usually though I really like how it turns out. Christian and I refer to it as ‘the Zen approach’ – in other words, if you care too much or try too hard, it will look wrong and forced. That’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it.
*Although I wouldn’t mind dropping $200 on the pictured dress (which you can find at Uniform Natural). I think I would feel myself and very special wearing it…
