Graduated Greys

Well, I finally succumbed. Not only to tiredness, but to bedding sales. I bought myself this gorgeous Inka linen by Aura. The graduated greys got me in.

But then, so did the price. I found these on sale at Brands Exclusive (and no, this is not a sponsored post!!). Just spreading the word that there's some Aura bargains a-foot. And I mean Bar-gaaain. But I think this sale ends today or tomorrow, so if you've been eyeing off some Aura, better get a move on. (if you're not signed up to BE, and want some sales action, let me know and I'll send you an invitation).

Hope everyone gets a little sleep in this weekend in some sharp new bed linen. And thanks so much to everyone for hanging in there with me over the house move, I'm chuffed that you have. Back to normal posting this week, and promise to keep an eye out for the people to thank next weekend.

Frocks

I have frocks on my mind at the moment. There's a fancy shmancy awards dinner/gala ball coming up soon for work.

And as is every woman's curse, I have nothing to wear. If I wasn't watching a football game in the rain today, I'd be off shopping for a frock. But for now, these lovely 50's numbers caught my eye.

Oh how fun would it be to go back in time to an era when these darlings graced every girl's wardrobe. There's a gorgeous collection at The Vintage Studio.

Thanks to one and all for your patience and best wishes over the disconnect week. So glad to be back on track again, and looking forward to bringing you some lovely Diversions! Hope you're having a v.cool weekend.

Feeling It Too

Channeling a little caftan and turban love your way this weekend. Hope you're feeling it too.

And when it comes in the way of stretchy rich velvets, who couldn't help but feel it. These v.cool little numbers come from The Future Of Frances, go look.

Do A Girl A Favour...

...and go and buy one, or all, of these beautiful things that are haunting me on Etsy. {Click each image to take you direct to the shop} {{go on, seriously}}. With my real estate shopping outing yesterday, I fear that there will be little coin to spread about the Etsy ether in the months to come. Damn Perth real estate market!! I haven't bought anything just yet, but i think I have finally sold, so there's one part of the equation done. Just need to get my head around the seven figures required to make a purchase where I want to be.

Apologies, but have been a bit preoccupied this week to pay proper attention to who I need to thank for some love, but a quick last minute one I just noticed is from....

Design Junkies

But of course, thanks to each and all for dropping in for a Diversion to go this week, and I hope that Blogger gets its act together soon so I can drop by and let you know I've been!

May be MIA for a few days here and there over the week ahead, three day headaches and real estate stalking are taking their toll.

Take A Poke

Really loving the goodies I spy at the v.cool vintage store called Lackluster Co. These pieces are just a wafer thin sliver of what's on offer. Do yourself a favour and go take a poke around.

Dry Land Surfing

If you're spending a bit of time over the Easter weekend doing a bit of dry land surfing of the internet kind, you should go check these out. These v.cool ceramics come from the etsy store called dahlhaus.

Just love their clear fresh colours and vintage style form.

Could Help

I seriously think this jacket could help me survive the impending winter. On sale (if you're a medium that is) at Free People right now.

{And yes, they're shipping to Oz now, so no excuses not to go take a look around. There's some bargains to be had peoples}

A Few Of My Favourite Things

I went looking through a few peoples Etsy faves on the weekend. Was cool seeing what people save away for a rainy day.

So I thought I'd share just a smattering of mine.

Click on the images to take you direct to the fabulous stores that sell these lovelies. Do you find that if you see something that you really really love, that when you look through the rest of the store there's at least a dozen or twenty more things that are just your cup of tea too?

Love that.

Visual Creature

I am such a visual creature. I see something, there's a recognition of something that I like, and I lock in.

A tiny little image from this store got sent through to my inbox the other day and instantly I saw something I liked.

The lovely clothes and cool stylings you see come from a shop called Edna & Wilhemina. They create handmade sustainable fashion (and killer images too).

I loved seeing more, I'm sure you will too.

Mine Did

I loved these cool geographic cushions that hit my inbox the other week. They're printed on organic cotton and are available in a huge range of locales. These lovelies come from the aussie shop My Bearded Pigeon.

Did your week make you feel like that youngster in the first image? Mine did. But having you all along for a few Diversions made it much better. Thank you.

And special thanks this week go to these peeps...
