Etsy Love: The Angry Weather
Popped by The Etsy Blog today and spotted this week's featured seller, Iveth Morales, from The Angry Weather. Instantly, I fell in love with her simple, weather-themed sterling silver jewellery pieces. You'll find rainclouds, lightning bolts and meteors, as well as other neat things like this oxidized banner necklace with the words J'taime punched out. Must be shopping time...?

Inspired By: Kristian Schuller
Stumbled across Kristian Schuller on Pinterest today and couldn't resist sharing these sensational shots Love the deep shadows and rich amber tones... it's like some sort of scrumptious sticky dessert for your eyes, don't you think? And of course, I'm also in love with those fairy-esque dresses and the thought of running barefoot on the beach. Sigh.

Heart This: Inked Girls
You may have noticed I've been gradually (or not so gradually!) having a little image overhaul here at Wolf and Willow... so it's probably no surprise to you that I'm getting a tattoo! How exciting! Of course, being a designer, it's going to take me a long, long time to decide on a design, so I've been doing my research. I thought you might like to see these beautiful photos from Inked Magazine. See, tattoos are not just for bikers and sailors!

Fashion Fancies: My Spanish Love Affair
Hello petals! Oh, how I've missed you. I'm finally back home after my 11 weeks in Europe. My last stop was Barcelona, a cultural melting pot, and a city which seemed to unfold endlessly, day after day. This city cast a magical spell over me with it's beautiful, warm people, it's amazing Bocateria filled with edible treasures, it's nightlife that never sleeps, and it's labrynthine alleyways filled with boutiques and restaurants. Sigh. But no visit to Barcelona would be complete without a little shopping trip to one of Spain's most successful labels, Zara (which is coming soon to Aussie shores.. yay!). Here's a peek at May's cool collection.

Fashion Fancies: Hyères Fashion Festival
I wonder if you'll forgive my sporadic posting schedule whilst I'm travelling Europe if I bring you something really special direct from Europe? Let's see, shall we? How about these breathtaking designs from emerging designers Céline Meteil (France), Oda Pausma (Belgium) and Emilie Meldem (Switzerland). Each year, the international fashion set gather in the Southern French town of Hyères to check out tomorrow's design talent. Here are a few highlights spotted by Lilian Inge Kamp, at Vogue Germany.

Heart This: Black Milk Bodysuits
So my birthday is coming up *gulp* and what I'm really craving are some new clothes. Surprising, right? Now, the label at the top of my list is Black Milk, with which I am completely obsessed. I know there is a bit of contention about the use of leggings as pants, and I'm here to stand up proudly and say, yes, I like them. I really do! And, along with these killer bodysuits, Black Milk have the coolest leggings in the world. Check 'em out ladies!

Inspired by: Ryan Polei
Hello lovelies! Checking in from Amsterdam with this little snippet from Ryan Polei, who was recently invited to shoot the results of a little fashion project... 13 designers were given a challenge; each had just a bag of recycled goods to create an entirely new fashion-forward outfit. What do you think of the results? Amazing, huh?

Closet Update: Euro Trash
Sweetpeas! As you know, I've been busily preparing for my upcoming European escapade (I fly out on Satruday!) and that means shopping and freaking out and imagining fun things to do when I'm there. And copying all of my blog files over to my laptop... snore! But, even though I haven't booked a single night yet, and I have no idea where I'll go, at least I have my wardrobe sorted. Well, almost!

Vintage Icons: Soledad Miranda
Hey darlings, if you're looking for vintage beauty inspiration, look no further than Soledad Miranda. This smoking Spanish actress from the 60s was once described as "the most painfully beautiful woman who ever lived". And yes, we can see that, right? But seriously, besides the rest of her, how hot are those sandals?

Fashion Fancies: All A-Flutter
Darlings! I confess, I am guilty of neglecting you this past week. It looks like I'm heading to Europe in less than 2 weeks... eeep! And I'm all a-flutter. Nevertheless, I am still thinking of fashion and shopping. I know, I have a problem. So here's a little something I discovered in Vogue Spain a while back. Queston: do backpackers wear heels...? I'll be reporting, I promise!

Etsy Love: Silurian Era
Well, it's no secret that I'm a little obsessed with gemstones and minerals. Just ask my mum, who remembers the rock collection I kept as a little girl, which I meticulously sorted into polished and un-polished, precious and semi-precious – and colour-coded and labelled, of course! Then there was the junior archaeologists' club, but let's save that story for another day, shall we? It is with fond memories that I'm swooning over these beautiful lapidary offerings from Silurian Era. It's a store for collectors and jewellers alike, filled with wonders from the earth such as jasper, agate, quartz and turquoise. Heavenly!

Inspired By: Sanja Marusic
Morning blossoms! Now, I don't know much about Sanja Marusic, except that I'm in love with her breathtaking photographs that I first discovered here, on Flickr. And it seems she'll remain a mystery, since everywhere I look for information on her, it's in a language I can't decipher. I've deduced that she's from the Netherlands, but she's popped up in Holland and Amsterdam. But I love a good mystery, don't you?

Heart This: Love, Sequins & Red, Red Roses
Okay, so Valentine's Day is popping up all over the place like a love-sick suitor to a balcony, complete with enough hearts, chocolates, cherries and roses to send any sensible girl into a spin. Alas, I'm rarely sensible, so I figured I might as well get started today with Ban.do's gorgeous little heart-shaped accessories and romantic floral headbands. There's also some really cute sequinned shoe clips that I'm pining for. Now, who's in the mood for love?

Project Pretty: Kim Dulaney
Hey babies! I love it when magical things arrive in my inbox, don't you? There amongst the notifications and bills and boring bits, there's always someone special waiting to be discovered. That is, in your beautiful comments and emails. It's one of the things I cherish most about blogging. Why, that's how I came to meet kindred spirit, Kim Dulaney, the other day. When I read her sweet email and had a little peek at her jewellery store, blog and portfolio, I knew I'd found someone quite precious. And so, I'm sharing her with you today... she's pretty amazing, huh?

Vintage Icons: Anne Baxter
Tending to play shy, innocent types in Westerns and Dramas of the 40s and 50s, Anne Baxter starred alongside other vintage icons such as Bette Davis and Judy Holliday. She's so young in this photograph, I imagine it might have been taken at the start of her career (somewhere around seventeen?). I love her beautiful eyelashes and charming smile - not to mention that va-va-voom vintage bathing suit!

Inspired By: Alison Scarpulla
Partly inspired by my latest obsession with moody shades of fuschia, plum and violet, I'm utterly spellbound by Alison Scarpulla. Her enchanting photographs remind me of exotic Russian fairytales of gypsy spells and magic. It's inspiring me to start working my novel again! Ooh, to much inspiration, too little time! I'll have to content myself with gazing and imagining for now, I guess.
p.s. There's more spellbinding goods in her Etsy shop here.
