Fall Reads

I went a little crazy at the Japanese book store the other day & bought a bunch of cute fashiony books/magazines. The pictures mostly speak for themselves (perfect cool-weather outfits!) but I really wish I could read the directions on how to make that umbrella cover. These books are not helping my recent linen obsession, not at all, I want all my clothes to be made out of linen now!

I'm also excited about this gardening book, I think it's about how to grow micogreens at home in whatever containers you can find? It's inspired me to plant some fall crops of chard and radishes to harvest as shoots.

  3. There is a beautiful bookshop in Singapore called Books Actually: www.booksactually.com/ They have some lovely things there, my favourite book is "Like Fins for Feet": www.likefinsforfeet.com/ which has some really nice illustrations.

    Oh and you should also check out Oh Comely magasine, your style reminds me of them:
