Perth says come hither

Apart from the very adequate reason that one of my dearest friends is in Perth, I have found an equally lovely reason to visit the furthest Western city of Australia- Pigeonhole.

I picked up Marie Claire's 15th birthday issue whilst in Australia last week, and have only just gotten around to reading the behemoth 426 pages (let's assume a few bonus' are heading their ways to the MC advertising execs).

Here I was alerted to Pigenhole, through the article 50 Best Boutiques. As mentioned, the store (or stores, to be precise) is located in Perth though one can browse their wares online- yes, they have gone digital. Brands include Secret Squirrel Clothing, Limedrop, Colab and more more more.

Stocking clothes, homewares, stationary, jewellery and even toys, this store seems like a labour of someones intense need to be surrounded by everything they love- and to capitalise on this. When you know you have taste, you may as well provide to the masses. I hear Perth needs more of the same to suckle the hungry inhabitants; for a city that produces such beauty (Gemma Ward, Nicole Trufino), perhaps Pigenhole can lead the way.

Top to bottom: Shafto Lane store; London Court store

The online shop is not the best display of their wares, though the experience is not hampered by this. The website is powered through Wordpress, and has a blog attached.

I'm coveting these pants, left. Not too expensive, though I think to carry these off you have to offer height minus weight to the equation.

Left: Minimarket pants ($165), Pigeonhole loop necklace ($65), Leather brogues ($185), Soto Smith Aztec tee ($75), Pigeonhole bag ($200).

Check website for the locations of their four stores, including the most recent arrival of all things vintage, bless.

For Sale

I'm still here, and hopelessly apologise for ignoring the glories of daily blogging.

I'm still working like a chump, still riding my very sweet, yet very vintage bike around London and I'm still trying to save the pennies to afford the lifestyle I shall like to lead in the near future...more to follow. This leads me to announce I have several things currently on Ebay.

Please feel free to check out the beyond gorgeous cape I am rebaying (is this a word? It should be!), the white polka dot dress, Whistles chinos, and more!

Sorry I've been away...

Started three crocheted blankets, in assorted colours
Moved house
Went to Paris
Watched the Tour de France obsessively
Acquired Lucy Hutchings jewellery
Purchased daily coffees on Whitecross St
Ventured to John Lewis to admire and choose yarn at heavily discounted prices
Made Magnolia cupcakes, with pink buttercream icing
Visted Grace Kelly exhibition at the V&A, and got lost in the emotion of its beauty
Planned Winter adventures to Morocco
Counselled friends
Bought new headphones
Admired Swedish Hasbeens and wished I could afford them
Read Girl with a Dragon Tattoo, now taking a break and reading something more serious
Ridden many kilometres of London roads
Watched Toy Story 3, and frankly, was a bit scared at times
Saw Band of Horses, and thought it was one of the best live shows I've seen
Saw Beach House and thought it was one of the worst live shows I've ever seen

This is why I have ignored my blog. Well, primarily because I have deadlines on the blankets. I have skills, and shall use them.
